Featuring Kabir Sen

lyrics

There’s a hunger here
That I’ve never known
A vitality is growing
Destiny just waiting to unfold
And comfort in what used to leave me cold, yeah

You took me to this place
Showed me what safe is
And my armor opened
With my heart exposed
Eyes closed
My armor opened

In my solitude
There’s room for doubt
If I start sinking can I pull myself out
Well I’ve disbelieved and I’ve mistrusted
And sometimes I just don’t know what trust is, what trust is

Rap:
Well you open up your heart but now it’s broken up in parts
And we’re picking up the pieces but we’re not sure where to start
Yes you opened up your mind to relationships unkind
And now you’re scared to love again no matter who you find
Though love can make you see it can also make you blind
To the pain you feel inside when your trust in someone dies
And it’s so hard to confide in the folks who fed you lies
So you look them in the eyes and tell yourself you must be wise

And time heals the pain so we all learn to adjust
As we balance the need for companionship and trust
With the need for feeling safe which is obviously a must
Don’t want to get burned again can’t get left back in the dust
Now you’re shaking off the rust, uneasy feeling flush
As you navigate terrain between them and us
Relationships are work it takes time to build up trust
But get back in the game girl, love is such a rush

If it starts fading away
(and if it fades away will it take the pain away)
And colors turn to grey
(You scraped and scrubbed but you couldn’t get the stain away)
If all I see (and as we learn the way) is uncertainty (we can be led astray)
Remind me of what still can be (let’s learn to trust again and start today)

You took me to this place
Showed me what safe is
And my armor opened
With my heart exposed
Eyes closed
My armor opened
.. Cause you
You took me to this place
Showed me what safe is
And my armor opened
With my heart exposed
Eyes closed
My armor opened
Yeah my armour opened

Sarah Mendelsohn Boston, Massachusetts

As a singing drummer, industry folks have always said, “Get the girl out front!” Well, now she’s out front and loving it.

Sarah’s songs are beautifully melodic with catchy hooks, rich harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. They are songs of love, loss, vulnerability, motherhood, hope and determination over the rhythmic backbones of rock, americana, ska, reggae, and ballads that bring the house down. ... more
