lyrics

i am a haunted house
and i am the owner coming home after a 20 year vacation

turn on the light it remains dark
open the door and it falls off the hinges
Trip off my own panic trigger

As I walk on through

creak in the floor I spin around
There’s nothing there but I pull floorboards dig until I’ve found the earth beneath me me

Can’t sleep in my own damn home
so i take the fear and find the rhythm in it
been a year since it's been so bad,
i try and remember how i got through it
every heart beat feels like an earthquake
that rumbles and cracks until i fall in it

I know I have been alive,
I remember the ache
Every time I try to feel
Feels like I'm going to break

Every feeling that I've ignored
Comes back as a ghost
All screaming in native tongue
Claiming me as their home

I know I have been alive
I remember the ache
Every time I try to feel
Feels like I'm going to break

about

xioma Columbus, Ohio

i tell new pals i grew up in a bomb shelter when they are not understanding that i do not get their pop culture reference.

“but that show is REALLY FAMOUS.”
“bomb shelter.”
and then they get it. but the bomb shelter is a metaphor (?). in truth, i was raised in a fundie christian home.

i write music to process my shame/grief/rage/gratitude around it all.

ty for being here. <3
