about

a song about silence for anyone who's also afraid to face it, sometimes

lyrics

all this silence 
has got me to thinking
what silence does 
without me in it
i don’t wanna stay 
so i push it away

the noise only keeps 
me from dealing 
with the silent emotions 
i’m feeling
that get in the way
there are things i don’t say

if You see me 
can You see through my silence 
cuz i’m scared You won’t like it 

always running away from the moment 
so afraid that You’ll break my heart open
& hate what You find 
when You see what’s inside 

if You see me 
can You see through my silence 
cuz i’m scared You won’t like it 

wait patiently 
meet You there in the silence 
when i’m not busy hiding

the shadows keep staring me down 
let them in & they figure me out 
i can’t even face myself 
i can’t even face myself 

the shadows keep staring me down 
let them in & they figure me out 
i can’t even face myself 
i can’t even face myself

When she changed her name in 2016, removing "burwell" was her way of trying to pretend the past didn't happen... now finding herself unable to move forward freely, music has been helping her to unearth beauty through reflection.
