about

We all crave safety and comfort, and yet it is only in reaching out for the unfamiliar that we feel truly alive. Growth is inevitable and often unpleasant, but there is a peculiar poetry to shedding one’s skin. Layer by layer we fight through and discard our old self, to be reborn anew, vibrantly more powerful than before.

lyrics

I should have known
birds fly out when grown

Get out of my nest
jump off that cliff
return your shells
to the sea

It was not what I wanted
the seed I planted
not what I wanted/now pulls me under

These growing pains
keep me wanting
to shed my skin
These growing pains
leave me wanting
to shed my skin

You talk too much
no human touch

Get out that nest
jump off that cliff
return your shells
to the sea
to the sea

It was not what I wanted
the seed I planted
not what I wanted

These growing pains
keep me wanting to shed my skin
These growing pains
leave me wanting to shed my skin
These growing pains

not what I wanted
