You're stalling

You're hurting

You long for the voice

That escaped you

When you were learning you were also forgetting

Forlorn in the language that shaped you

Eluding you all meaning in this modern self

Gather the tools to nurture yourself back to health

And love yourself

And love yourself and

And love yourself, hey

And love yourself

Bold freedom gets drowned out by the weeping

At the blank space down below

When you were learning you were also forgetting

Forlorn in the language that shaped you

Eluding you all meaning in this modern self

Gather the tools to nurture yourself back to health

And love yourself

Eluding you all meaning in this modern self

You gather the tools to nurture yourself back to health

And love yourself

And love yourself and

And love yourself

Your skin has cracked

Your crown, your win

Plain and bald, bare and thin

Forgive the rack you couldn't bring yourself to pen

As tender as your plain and bald and bare and thin

I'm stalling

And I'm hurting

I long for the voice that escaped me
