Escaping church left way too much unspoken
I wonder if I’ll ever not feel broken
Still repenting for having the nerve
To chase the kind of life that I deserve
I’ve always felt that silence is an omen
My confidence depends on every moment
Is trust really legit when it’s so shaky?
Winter’s coming and my heart is aching
Melting ice uncovered my old trauma
Part of me still misses all the drama
Who taught me my existence is a sin?
Utah weather is so indecisive
*Cause I’ve been speeding down I-15 since I was 16
Don’t need another reason gotta chase this dream, swimming downstream
Alone conquered abuse, neglect, and crisis
Nothing straight about me I’m a Pisces
Now I understand the Word of Wisdom
Cause when I drink I escape every prison
Upset over the slightest fucking changes
People everywhere but who is leaving traces?
Mentors are exploitation waiting to happen
They never teach about the love in true passion
Wish I could explain the kind of damage
On a soul being taken advantage
My identity is seen as divisive
But time will teach us who’s really sensitive
I just wanna feel whole and aligned
Coexist with who I am inside
*Cause I’ve been speeding down I-15 since I was 16
Don’t need another reason, gonna chase this dream, swimming upstream
I will conquer abuse, neglect, and crisis
There’s nothing straight about me I’m a Pisces
(Who are you to make me choose?
Pink or blue while massive nebulas offer so many hues
When universes collide
Let the chaos inside of you because you have nothing to hide
Nothing to hide
I have nothing to hide
I have nothing to hide)
There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
