lyrics

I can’t get my mind in the right place
Images of my body sinking in deep water I feel better

I can’t get my mind in the right place
Images of a knife sliding through my own skin
I feel relief

Please, doctor, cut from the front of my forehead to my skull
See that’s my brain nothing looks normal at all
Please take the parts that make me think too much
What do you charge? I’m not sure what’s real
Please are you cutting? I can’t feel anything at all

I can’t get my mind in the right place
Imagine I walk careless into the traffic
I fade out

I can’t get my mind in the right place
Images of the earth from far, far away
I’m not there
Am I sick?

I see the white wall, my feet, chipping paint, bright blue, sun shadow
I feel limb on limb, cold feet, burning chest, heart twitch in my eye
I smell laundry soap, a tree from outdoors
I taste coffee breath

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
