lyrics

I sit alone on a dusty floor
In a hazy light so calm and pure
I only wish I could be sure
That someday I will soar
‘Cause my soft, smooth skin is growing rough
And my easy right is getting tough
And it seems I’m never good enough
Anymore

But if I fly too high, will the sun burn my wings?
And if I reach the sky, will my lungs still sing?
It costs a lot for everything I ever wanted
It costs a lot for everything I ever wanted

The blinding lights on this empty stage
Fill the yellow tint of this empty page
And I think that it would show my age
To lay down here and cry
But I’m scared these seats will never fill
And this stage will stay alone and still
And all I’ll have is that I’m still alive

But if I cry too long, will I crash all too soon?
And if I sing this song, will it carry across this room?
It takes a lot to sing over all the noise
It takes a lot to sing over all the noise

And if I sing I will risk my heart
And if you hear these words I’ll risk being torn apart
And if I fly I will risk the fall
But if I don’t sing I’ll risk never being heard at all

I sit alone on a dusty floor
In a hazy light so calm and pure
I only wish I could be sure
That someday I will soar

Short Bio

Rachel Marie follows in a tradition of unapologetically forthright women folksingers, with songs that hearken to "overstuffed lines of Tori Amos, philosophical turn of Indigo Girls, and lilting vocals like Joni Mitchell." The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark. ... more
