lyrics

Fairweather friend where has the wind gone
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come out and replace the moon
But the stars are still out and the sky remains blue

Well It seems nowadays the common theme at play
Is tear the children down, then leave them with the bills
These walls are getting taller
These words keep getting longer
But mostly it appears to me that
I am feeling smaller

Your fear, my pride
Rubbed together and the sparks fly
You can find me in the middle that’s
What I’m headed for

Will my name always be there in the back of your head
Will it mark up all the pages of the books you haven’t read

Your fear, my pride
Rubbed together and the sparks fly high
You can find me in the middle that’s
What I’m headed for

Screams and timers sound the same
Getting harder and harder to get away
From the voice that’s yelling inside my brain
You’re not good enough

Where does meditation go
When the things you thought you knew, aren’t so...
When you’re far from home and all alone
In who the hell knows where

Your fear, my pride
Rubbed together and the sparks fly high
You can find me in the middle that’s
What I’m headed for

Sprained Ankle

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
