lyrics

Sometimes I worry, I’ll run out of words to say
Or worse they just won’t mean anything
Maybe my silence will speak all the words that I can’t
Maybe my arms should just be a safe place to land

Cause sometimes I can’t speak
I can’t say the things you need from me
Sometimes it's like I think them but the words can’t seem to be
I'm sorry I can't speak

Oh, I can't

Sometimes your eyes speak more than your tongue
Sometimes silence is more than enough
Cause I can feel your thoughts beat right through my heart
And your eyes tell me everything I knew from the start

Sometimes you can't speak
You can't say the words you need to me
Sometimes it's like you think them but the words can't seem to be
I know that you're sorry you can't speak

I know, I know
I know, I know, I know

So while I have it in me to be able to speak my truth
Let me say the silence sometimes stays so I don’t hurt you
Cause I don’t want to say a thing that I will just regret
In a few short minutes and you'll hear repeat in your head

Oh, sometimes I can't speak
I can't say the words you need
Oh, I'm sorry I can't speak

Where EP
by Sophie Jamieson

supported by 5 fans who also own “Speak”

Folky and sparse on the face of it, but there's a richness and emotional gravitas to this EP. I've spent some time trying to figure out how that was done but it's still magic to me, really. mcharper

His Young Heart EP
by Daughter

supported by 4 fans who also own “Speak”

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
