about

lyrics, music and production: vic pichardo

lyrics

barefoot and distressed, she cuts through the field, pushes through
she's not that aware of any relief she can still slip into
when her best was enough, she gave it so effortlessly, and well
but now she worries that she doesn't have more in reserve for herself

where there is smoke, there's watery eyes, straining to open up wide enough to record,

there's beauty in everything you can allow
there's courage in letting your fears come on out
there's love in the moment you say it out loud
you can be as you were

drained and tattered resolve, she's come to allow herself to forget to
breathe in studied response, afraid to commit to what she won't do
takes a moment to think, how she let herself fall, into still
this worn, most stubborn of treads ,she struggles for freedom to turn at will

where there is smoke, there's watery eyes, straining to open up wide enough to record,

there's beauty in everything you can allow
there's courage in letting your fears come on out
there's love in the moment you say it out loud
you can be as you were
