The first part of my album, Religious Trauma Syndrome and the Other Side, is out now! This includes the four singles I just released - Matter of Time, Ghost to You, Heaven, and Better Off - in addition to a new track called Keep Moving Forward (included in this post). Part two will start releasing later this month. <3

Fire, it felt like fire

So fucking difficult

They won't ever know what it's like

Fine, I say I'm fine

But I’m scared of letting go

I don't want to fall from the heights

All I want to do is run when I don't feel like I'm enough

I don't want to need anyone just in case they don't show up

Yeah, I tried so hard to numb the pain that now I’m scared to love

But I’ll try my best, fuck the rest, and just take it in

Keep moving forward, keep moving forward

Lie, was it all one big lie?

I’m trying to forgive everything they did all the time

Yeah, that shit’s hard

But I keep on trying, oh

‘Cause I don't want to live bitter till the end all my life

Yeah, I was never beautiful when they said I was made for hell

It feels so fucking crazy

You can't change the world if you can't even change yourself

Yeah, I've been thinking lately

There's a lot I don't know but at least I figured out

I can try my best, fuck the rest, and just take it in

Keep moving forward, keep moving forward

I can’t rewrite all the wrong

And I know this won’t look like what they want

Or what they thought

But I’m no longer running from myself when I

Don't feel like I belong ‘cause I know

I'm enough for me, oh

And that's enough for me, oh

Keep moving forward, keep moving forward

Yeah, keep moving forward

A huge thank you to Jeff Langlois and Kelsey Napier for the album artwork for this project, and to Brooke Tomlinson for helping me write these songs. More to come!
