Dig up the stubborn roots of the english ivy vines
Sift through the yellowed papers and sort them into files
Keeping things tidy now can help you fill the time
That stretched out before you the moment your dream died
The cupboards are bare it seems you’ve lost your appetite
Life lost its sweetness along with your stillborn child
The lines in the mirror growing deep and more defined
Your glory faded long before it had the chance to shine
Most of our dreams don’t come true
And after that what do you do
Seems the hardest part of letting go
Is having nothing left to hold
The seats all are empty now and the curtain is drawn
No one’s here to witness if you’re right or if you’re wrong
Can’t you find a reason now that you should carry on
Backstage in the dark it’s between you and your God
When you park the car and walk right past the sign that says dead end
This is when your real journey truly begins
This is when you leave behind all the petty things
This is when you stand up tall and finally shed your skin

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
