about

for clara, for being in the right place at the right time

lyrics

she don’t mind waking up alone
she don’t mind talking to this empty home
quiet keeping her company
while the vultures scream circling drones

she don’t care what the critics say
she don’t care which name goes on her grave
darting eyes never settling
carrying through on her day to day

she says, yeah, I'm a mess but I'm trying my best
to be all that you expect of me
picture-perfect princess broke, broken, and depressed
just pretty enough to pass invisibly

she don’t want her failure to win
she don’t want to give up and to give in
the inescapable momentum
of the black hole where her heart had been

racing home sixteen miles to go
silence cuts through the radio
the sun is chasing her down

she never stops to rest will always second guess
every move every choice every day
on an aimless mission slave to indecision
free to sit and worry her minutes away

but despite all the stress she’s doing her best
but can't fight the raw gravity
so she's scraping her pennies and burning her twenties
so that some day she might be free
