Arrived

(album: Self Portrait Of A Woman Unravelling - 2023)

Lately
Been hoping something could save me
Except it's not even lately
Rather my ordinary
I look
At many faces who seem to
Have figured out their own way through
If they're pretending, it's so good

They could really win an Oscar
I'm sure I'm so behind
But I'm doing my best to find peace of mind
But I feel like I'm losing time
Tell all my friends I'm doing fine
Oh, is there is anybody else out there
Who could tell me where to from here?

How do you know when you arrive?
When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived

Take me
Somewhere I can see clearly
There's too much noise in the city
And my hometown, and my bedroom, and my head and in my dreams
And I can't think
It's just too hard
If this what it's supposed to be
Then I can't breathe
(Then I can't breathe)

Turn the shower cold
Try not to fold
I'm trying to find the song in my soul
But I can't hear beneath the rubble
I don't know where else to even go
Oh, is there anybody else out there
Who could tell me where to from here?

How do you know when you arrive?
When will I know I've arrived?
Will I ever get it right?
Is it only when I die?
Is it all just a lie?
When will I know I've arrived?

When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived
When will I know I've arrived
