the stories i've been told

from racing from the silence - EP by the smallest one

/

lyrics

i was sixteen, sitting
in my mother’s car,
& in that silence i was
alone with my thoughts.
like some confession
no one could hear,
my head accepted what
my heart had always feared.

it’s all i want,
but it never comes—
i’m fucked up
from the stories
i’ve been told.

my body shivers at the
thought of your blue eyes
looking in mine, the way
the sea looks at the sky.
i know it’s just the
comfort in the fantasy
that keeps me from wandering
out this door and to the sea.

it’s all i want,
but it never comes—
i’m fucked up
from the stories
i’ve been told.

well, there are moments
that get me so hopeful.
but quickly, i get sucked
back into this black hole.
& so it’s cold—
oh, it’s so cold.
