Pisces from Pisces by Cecily
It's late summer. I feel smooth stones on the soles of my feet and a cool mist on my skin. I slide my toes into the fresh water of Wli Falls and swim towards the raging cascade.
Six months later I wrote this song, "Pisces."
That was in 2011. Seven years later and every word still feels raw & true.

Lyrics
V1:
I’ve swam in waterfalls that stung my back
And all I ever needed was to go back
Cause even things that hurt make you feel alive
And all I ever wanted was to live before I die
Chorus:
Cause there’s a river in me and it pushes my feet
In uncertain forward motion
There’s an ocean in me and it won’t let me sink
But it’s drawing me out
Wash away my self-doubt
V2:
I find myself searching along the shore
Not ever really knowing what I’m looking for
Caught in imaginings of a different me
Still insecure and graceful and damn sure free
Chorus:
Cause there’s a river in me and it pushes my feet
In uncertain forward motion
There’s an ocean in me and it won’t let me sink
But it’s drawing me out
Wash away my self-doubt
