"agreeing to things to just keep the peace is actually a trauma response. when you do this you’re disrespecting your boundaries. no more making yourself uncomfortable for others’ comfortability. you have control now. you run your life. take up space and use your voice."

Lyrics
v1
have you counted the number
of times you’ve resigned? don’t you
spoil the comfort
“you're doing just fine”
v2
swallow your feelings, they’ll be
gone in the morning
stop with the checking
you’re only stalling
c1
is your/my mind unspoken,
laden with confusion?
are your/my fences coping,
or eroded by emotion?
c2
did your/my voice get stolen?
is it deep in the ocean?
is your/my heart broken?
it beats to please them...
v3
“oh, did those words hurt you?”
no i won’t say they did, if it'll
keep the peace
i guess i'll stay silent
v4
talk to some strangers
they might resonate
share words that impale us
“so much for the weight”
c1 + c2
bridge
swallow your feelings
cue overthinking* x3-5 times
guess it helps — singing...
