The forest is dark
and I'm wide awake
not sleeping
The road to my heart
is stark
but I'm alive
Which way would you run
If you were looking
through my glass eyes?
Or would your clean skin
leave you
paralyzed?
And baby
I was born
to daylight
With twilight
tangled in
the sky
And as I
escape
and take flight
I am running free
of all those
tangled wires
And I'll be home
by morning.
And the morning light
will warm
my tired bones
I'll run
through the trees
and through the forest
and in morning,
by morning
I'll be home.

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
