Shutting down in the first room I ever broke in.
Shutting up to realize I put myself back there.
And I was writing on the walls and driving 30 miles
every few days, just to stay sane.
And I'm blurring out the year so I don't remember how
I fell, and how I failed, and how I felt none of it.
This household of broken homes will never be derivative
of the houses we grew up in. We're safe here.
And now I can forget how I fell, and how I failed, and how I felt
none of it.
absolutely beautiful, crossing the lines between midwest emo and math rock with killer riffs alongside complex drumming patterns really gets me going, not to mention the most relatable lyrics from uncomfortable anxiousness to uncontrollable desire for love and prosperity, love this so effing hella neonicotine
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
