about

Being broken. I wrote this song when I was totally and utterly broken. I didn't want to talk to anyone or have to deal with myself.

I made this song about a personal safe place (in particular, I chose the bathtub). This was metaphorical for me because my safe place is my music. Music for me is a method of understanding who I am and allowing myself to reflect and process the on goings of my life.

I feel the most important part in this song is that I don't reach a resolution. I don't fix my problem because being depressed or sad isn't an infection that can be treated with antibiotics. It is something you live with and unfortunately have to face. I chose to end this song lyrically with a choice that I will motivate myself towards something for someone else other than me.

lyrics

oh how i tried
to think about how i messed up this time
and all i see
the worst things always come back to me

if i hold it all together
i can barely make it through
so keep it all together
maybe for me
maybe for you

close in the spaces
i chose to switch faces
and the light can be harsh
for my hopeless heart

if i hold it all together
i can barely make it through
so keep it all together
maybe for me
maybe for you
i'll do it for you
