This time, I was blessed to be able to work with Queenbitch on a track! I've been listening to their music for a long while now, and when the opportunity came to put our heads together, I just had to hop on it. QB's an amazing lyricist and has a natural feel for getting their thoughts out on paper, then translated into music. If you want to truly experience, you need to check out their work!

And what fortuitous timing, as they're going to be dropping their new album on 5/1, and a deluxe version on 5/15! This song will feature there, as well as another collab we worked on together, among a whole host of emotional, heady tracks.

QB, thanks for working with me on this. There were many moments of catharsis in the writing process that I didn't know I needed. Never stop writing, my friend!

I wake at the bottom of the sea
The world bearing down on my chest
And I won't even try to get up
Kinda mad that I keep catching breath
I'll just lay and watch the other fish fly
I'll hope to catch the glint off their skin 
Maybe lose myself in that bright dapple
Anything to distract; ride the whim

Now watch the glass sweat
Leaving rings in the wood
I should run and grab a coaster
But I'm not that good
I deserve this
Or at least I don't not
Cuz I didn't do nothin
And I never forgot

I don't understand 
I was the ruler of the world
I could end war and hunger
I owned this blue pearl

Now look at me.
Actually...
… don't.

I'm the night every bad moon is riding
I'm the fault, the king of dividing
I'm the sum of the slow misaligning
I can't even see the surface from here
I'm not stupid; I know what this is
The torpor, the haunting, the wishes
It follows and waits and convinces
Then finds the cracks and fills them with fear

It's hard to remain my own life's author
With most days open, my gaze unfaltered
But the tides always rise
And they cover my eyes
And I'm learning to see underwater

I'm in the night of every blood moon rising 
I'm at fault, the queen of misguiding 
I'm the reason why you keep on fighting 
You find me frightening!
Hiding in dim lighting! 
I can’t even hear your voice from here
But I can only scream!
Like a siren, 
wrecking all the ships in my sea
Who to be or not to be?
Hidden in fog and sea foam green 
You can’t see me clearly 
How can I know what I really am?

Am I monster?
Delusions of failure 
Rip into me 
Like the rocks on the shore 
And as the tide pushes me down 
I know I’ve been here before

I followed it down
Right, like I had a choice 
It stole my air and my frown
I let it take my voice
Under blue stupor
I'm not erased
Maybe that's my future
But it's not my fate
