count to three, you'll land on me
the pages with the burned edges
the conflict exists in my chapter's risks
and I can't find redemption
I've tried for so long to put my fire out
but I can't seem to resist you when you come around
the flames warm my skin
but burn when my guard is down
you whisper in my ear,
"this is who you are now
oh, you'll never be someone
other than the third one."
most days I'm in my head
'cause it makes me forget
all that I promised I would be
I hate to disappoint,
but that's my sin of choice
as long as I'm not disappointing me
oh, as long as I'm not disappointing me
I've tried for so long to put my fire out
but I can't seem to resist you when you come around
the flames warm my skin
but burn when my guard is down
you whisper in my ear,
"this is who you are now
oh, you'll never be someone"
I've tried for so long to put my fire out
but I can't seem to escape you when you come around
the flames warm my skin
but burn when my guard is down
you whisper in my ear,
"this is who you are now
oh, you'll never be someone"
but maybe someday I'll be someone
oh, I know someday I'll be someone
other than the third one
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
Beautiful southern Gothic tunes with a psychedelic bent. A very comforting album, despite its uneasiness. Thayer is making some of the best folk music around - it's time you gave it a listen. (And, Thayer, Chicago's waiting for you...) Jonny Spinasanto
