lyrics

i play your face like a Psalm in my mind
God, i love how you dance
and you twirl and laugh loud
pretty girl in her prime

i've seen the same look before
but this time i can't sort it at all
and you tell me you're fine, and i know you're not fine
but I don't dare talk

but enough about me
let's talk about you
and the reason i can't hold your hand
without shaking inside like i do
enough about me

all of the tamed lust that pours from your eyes
we just stopped making sense
and the time that we spent
making jokes to disguise a personal thing

and i know what you mean
when you're talking like that
you say you're alone and in love
and you just want to be where i'm at

but enough about me
let's talk about you
and the reason i fell for your charm
so swift and so warm and i knew
i can't make you see
how i picture the scene
when i play you a song
i keep hoping to learn
what you feel and in turn
maybe we'd get along
but enough about me

but enough about me
let's talk about you
and the reason you withdrew your love
like a $20 bill for new shoes
enough about me
'cause the water can't clean
all the sins in my heart
i stopped living for life
now i'm dying to die
just to make a new point
enough about me

Dear Wormwood

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
