lyrics

I've seen this place before
I feel it closing in
Sometimes feels like the only place
I've ever been

The walls are thicker now
Fortified with doubt
This time I may not have the strength
To get out

Where is the love, where is the faith
That got me through those other days
I'm all dried up, I don't want to end
But there's no hope, no hope now my friend

Tired of wasted dreams, nothing at all was the way it seemed
I can't go through it again

Spirit, what did you try to do to me when you
Made it seem so clear
You said, "Work hard and it will bring great things"
But you've never been never been more wrong I fear

And I'm too ashamed to show my face
And too proud to give in, so
I wrap myself in shadows
'Til I can start again

Shallow hearts and sharp tongues
Are all that hold me here
I know how they'd reshape me
If I should disappear

My father won't try to save me
My mother just turns her head
Tells me to be a lady
And talk of pretty things instead

The water just looks so tempting
Like it would swallow me whole
Wash the world from me
Carry me, carry me, carry me, carry me
Home...

So I dip my toe, dip my toe
Just to see how deep it goes
A little bit more, little bit more
I won't go all the way

Sliding down, sliding down,
The ground is looser now
And I let it go, let it go
Didn't matter anyway

My mother, she's crying
She wants to save me from myself
Sees that I'm drowning
But I didn't ask for help

My father, he reaches
In to pull me out
But it's too late

I'm all the way down

The Liz O Show image

The Liz O Show San Francisco, California

Fiesty, fiery, sassy, sweet, with the guitar riffs of an old soul bluesman and the confidence of a pop star, with lyrics as full of stories as Joni Mitchell's, and flamboyance to rival Janis Joplin's, and a world that is a colorful, surreal children's playroom come to life, Liz O is a rising force in San Francisco.

It's a party that doesn't stop, and the whole world is invited to the show! ... more
