Description: I wrote this song for myself when I thought I was the only person in the world so damaged. After a while it wasn't my song anymore because someone else needed it. Then another someone... and another. It's had a few rewrites on it's travels. But it did show me I am so super not the only one who's felt like this.

lyrics

Hey sad eyes
You’re complicated
You seem to be
A lot like me
Aren’t we all dust
Every one of us
Does it feel like your number next
Is that how it seems to be

Wake up
Pull it together
Climb on out of your head
It’s the only way
Go outside take some air
You gotta get out of bed
Make a move and find
The hardest part is done

I know you don’t sleep
And worry is
Your ever present enemy
Constant company
Now you’re rattling around
A lonely house
Searchin for a thread to hold you together
Tether you down

Wake up
Get it together
Climb on out of your head
Take a walk with me
I know you’re tired
But I need you to make a move

We’ll win
You’ll see
I’ve been where you are
So why not try and
Take my hand
Look, I know you’re frightened
I’ll help you
But ya push through

about

Liz Aday Music NSW, Australia

Dual citizen USA/AUS. I've been in solitude as an artist for years. I never stopped writing, but I did lose my voice to Vocal Cord Palsy in 2017. They said I mightn't speak again. But as we say in Australia.. Yeah-nah! My main instrument apart from my voice is guitar but I love samples, synths & looping. Heavily influenced by old timey jazz (Billie&Ella)/90s trip hop/Prince & too much to list. xox ... more
