I Need Your Help 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I need your help; tell me who I am. I need your help; tell me who I am. Did you know you planted something beautiful in me? Did you know for decades we've been falling fast asleep? I need your help; tell me who I am. I need your help; tell me who I am. Ages ago we planned it, and it's 18 years I'll bleed. Soon enough they'll walk away with every part of me. I need your help; tell me who I am. I need your help; tell me who I am. It was just a midnight stroll through the town I grew up in, now the siren's blaring and begging me to swim

Enough 04:15

I used to sing I used to sing that song for you You used to dance Now it's what's wrong with you? When you've had your fill When you've had enough at the end of the night What you've had your fill Where will that leave me? Where can I go? You used to stay You used to stay all afternoon Now it's goodbye Yeah, I guess we'll talk real soon When you've had your fill When you've had enough at the end of the night What you've had your fill Where will that leave me? Where can I go? What if I'm not enough? What if I'm never enough for you? I thought you would be my home My home I thought you would be my home My home What if I'm not enough? What if I'm never enough for you?

Please Don't Go 03:30

I don't want you to go We're too young to even know Oh please don't go I felt you holding on so tight When you thought I was asleep last night Will we be alright? Though my heart it knows Everybody goes Oh, please don't go Oh, please don't go I just need more time Stay, my love, stay please don't go I guess there is no choice You just keep on singing 'til you got no voice Lost to the noise In 17 days I had not lied 'Til I saw you laughing in her eyes The well is dry Though my heart it knows Everybody goes Oh, please don't go Oh, please don't go I just need more time Stay, my love, stay please don't go

To Be Happy 03:27
lyrics

I was going to go to sleep, but I took a walk instead And I wondered if it was you who got inside my head All you have to want is to stop losing it And if you want it just enough, then you'll stop losing it Isn't that all it takes? Isn't that all it takes? Isn't that all it takes to be happy? Stella is in the corner showing all her teeth I wonder if she understands why all the people leave All you have to want is to be happy And if you want it just enough, then you'll be happy. Isn't that all it takes? Isn't that all it takes? Isn't that all it takes to be happy? I came upon a field before my walk was done And I wondered if the soil ever missed the sun All you have to want is to see the light And if you want it just enough, then you will see the light Isn't that all it takes? Isn't that all it takes? Isn't that all it takes to be happy?

about

Eris - Greek goddess of strife and discord.
These songs were my way of honoring difficult emotions to fend off the discord that is created when one denies the mind the chance to process said emotions. My hope is that you can connect to something in these lines and honor the difficult parts of yourself, too.
