lyrics

Wait there, let me put my anger in my pocket
Now honey you are free to talk it out
you can talk it out
you can talk and talk and talk it out

I walked you drunk up the stairs into your room
Closed the door held the hands of your little ones
as they looked at me and asked me why

I was a flame in falling rain
Now I’m vapor surrounding
I’m not your little girl
You made me fight you
Can’t you see this wild woman?

Wait there, let me stuff my feelings back up my sleeve
Now you can say you don’t believe me
You don’t believe me
You don’t believe

I caught you drinking in the garage it was raining
You stormed into the house complaining
I lied to them, not for you, I lied for them

You threw a chair in the wall we walked by it
Waiting for it to fall but it lingered there
Til we jerked it out patched the hole

I was a flame caught in falling rain
Now I’m vapor surrounding
I’m not your little girl
You made me fight you
Can’t you see this wild woman?

I don’t blame you
Just don’t act like you were holding me, when I was holding you
I’m not what you think, a woman ought to be

I was the vapor in the passing storm
Now I’m the strength in the trees
I’m not your little girl
I can walk down a dark street
Can’t you see?

I was a tree on the coldest day
Now I’m the warmth around you
I’m not your little girl
Saved myself from your dark days
Can’t you see this wild woman?

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
