lyrics

I walked around the block; I had no messages to answer
I heard the birds up in the pines and watched the horses canter
I stared across the evening sky above the sleeping farms
And it felt so wrong; it felt so upside down

I tried to think of what I must be missing, but I couldn't
I dared my phone to ring inside my pocket, but it wouldn't
I closed my eyes and waited for directions, but none came
And I felt so wrong; I felt so upside down

Help me, I’m happy
Help me, I’m at peace
Help me, I’m confused
And the lilac air smells too sweet

It’s like I’ve bust a cage and now I have no bars to cling to
There’s rust between my palms and wounds embedded in my pride
Some tasteless painter figured I’d go nice beside these flowers
I don’t belong here; I need to go inside

Help me, I’m happy
Help me, I’m at peace
Help me, I can't walk
Upon these steady mindful feet

A coffee mug once told me that the world will stay at war
Until we rock to sleep those weeping children in our hearts

So help me learn to stand here
As this screwed-up earth turns east
While the colors change from blue to pink
With dots of Canada geese
’Cause no one’s ever taught me how
To be at peace with peace
And I am trying as hard as I know how
To be at peace with peace

Siena Christie recommends:

The Winfield Sessions, Vol. 1
by The Starlight Darlins

I'm still floored that I get to be in the same band as Emily Johnson-Erday, Lauren Oxford, & Gray Buchanan. This is our first EP, recorded in one hour, in one take. Folky harmonies, honest songs. Siena Christie

Lauren Oxford
by Lauren Oxford

Lauren Oxford is one of the most compassionately honest & vulnerable songwriters I've ever heard. Her debut is nothing short of a masterpiece. Acoustic chamber folk, centered on Lauren's voice. Siena Christie

American Siren
by Emily Scott Robinson

This was the album that made me really fall head over heels for Emily Scott Robinson and her incredible writing. Her storytelling and crystalline voice are just transporting. Siena Christie
