Johanna Warren - THRU YR TEETH

You said you’d had enough
And I knew what you meant
You love me too much
And it scared you to death
So do what you gotta do
To lay to rest
The shadowy past you’re running from
With a suitcase of regrets
You filled you head with fantasies,
You filled me with rage
I never really believed your stories
But could not turn the page
You danced with my shadow
With such terrible grace
And now I’m alone with the lightness
That’s taken your place
Well I’ve been beating myself up for so long
I forgot what it takes
To have any identity beyond
My worst mistakes
I know you were scared

And you did your best to chase me away
But I know there’s a little boy in there
Who just wants to be embraced
Without your beloved darkness
Could you sleep night?
Or would you even recognize yourself
If you stepped into the light?
Yeah tell yourself whatever you need to hear
To keep at bay
The terrifying possibility
Of being ok
You kissed me with an open mouth
And lied through your teeth
We summoned all the demons
Only some were released
So do what you gotta do
To be at peace
Live a little, get yourself on your feet
You deserve some relief
