lyrics

You brought me into this world, should I let myself out?
I didn’t mean what I said when I said nothing at all

How one could have the love to grow a life then let it go I don’t know
I don’t know
I’d owe a thousand lives and still not repay all the light you gave to me
How can I say?

You are as certain as the sun when the world feels unsure
Mother I know
I have broken your heart in a million pieces, yet your open arms remain
You are the fight in me, the life I give so easily
Without you, I wouldn’t be

So I put my head on your lap, you stroke my hair

And I’m sorry I get angry when you don’t see what I see
You gave me eyes, taught me to think free

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
