The Letter - ill-esha

Little girl what I wish I could tell you

How many rivers I’ve seen you cry

All these needless scratches on your lovely surface

How I wish you’d stop wasting your time

So many nights I’d kiss you on the cheek and say don’t worry

Cause one day these nightmares will end

And all these hollow projections finally die out

One more piece you still need to find to mend

I’d whisper in your ear.

You are all you need, not me, not him

Pick yourself back up and be your own best friend

Cause when it comes down to it, when you’re really going through it

Stripped of all your pride, dead inside, who’s gonna come to it

You are all you need, not him, not them

Don’t matter how it hurts just take it all in

and wish yourself luck hold yourself a little closer

Life completes these cycles again and again

These sad arrows raining down like warfare

Carving waterfalls down your face

And oh, how I know that only space and time and spirit broken

Can take you out of this darkest place

So please don’t give up girl, you deserve it

Just try to fill those smoky eyes with light

And feel how unbreakable unmistakable each note gives, you live unshakeable

Come on take back those keys to your ride

(repeat Living for you… (repeat)
