lyrics

All I know is who I am at this very moment and how I feel at this very second.

My past has a way of not ever wanting to be forgotten, so I leave a little room in albums for it to exist so it doesn't take over my future.

Who I am continues to be written, and I guess there's some freedom in that.

When people ask you about yourself, do you offer them who you are, who you wish you were, who you used to be or who the world sees?

When people ask you about what makes you happy, do you tell them about the little moments, like booster shots when your depression is at an all time peak, or the thing that reminds you that you are important every day? Like breath.

Do you tell them about the compliments from a stranger, the hugs from a loved one, or the time that you fell in love so deeply you thought you were drowning in an ocean that you would be willing to die in.

When people ask you to tell them about yourself, do you tell them about the first time you looked yourself in the mirror after crying and didn't recognise yourself. Or the first time you knew that hope can fade and come back, or the first time you looked into a child's eyes and saw that sparkle that you could swear cannot be dimmed by anything.

The first time you took them to the playground and they acted like they discovered a kingdom, you watched them imagine something and act like if it was real.

Do you tell them how you envy that children are willing to just do it with no second thought.

Do you tell them about the first time your home became a cage and you were an animal.

Or the first time you figured out that this cage had a door that was wide open the whole time, and you willingly went in to protect yourself because this cage was far more predictable than the world outside of it.
