about
A song about feeling at odds with the person in the mirror, written at the suggestion of my therapist.
lyrics
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble
But I do believe
There's beauty within
That's why I can't stop
Picking my skin
Digging for a buried treasure
Digging for a way for me to
Say goodbye
To the stranger on the other side
Say hello
To the bliss of a
Disembodied mind
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble
But I do believe
There's a reason to live
That is why I'm gonna go
To sea in a sieve
Get me soaked and squeeze me through
Till there's nothing left to do but
Say goodbye
To the stranger on the other side
Say hello
To the bliss of a
Disembodied mind
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
In trouble with myself again
I am
In trouble trouble trouble
And I don’t believe
We could ever agree
That’s why I’ll do anything
To keep myself away from me
Maybe when I’m out of sight
I’ll see me in a better light
Eyes shut tight
Better get this right
Every word of the spell
To rip the soul from its shell
Say goodbye
To the stranger on the other side
Say hello
To the bliss of a
Disembodied mind
I am
in trouble with myself again
I am
in trouble trouble trouble trouble
I am
in trouble with myself again
I am
in trouble

I listened to "Oh, Legs!" and "Harbor" and I was hooked. Cynthia Marie's music is whimsical, thoughtful, and surprising—the kind of music that always seems to be thanking the listener for listening. Sparkbird
I played a show with TGTG in 2017 and their music and energy blew me away! I've been singing along at home and in the car ever since. :) I recommend "Mic Checkers" and "Taking Off My Mask". Sparkbird
The great 2nd LP from Matt Dorrien expands his Nilsson-y songs into bossa nova, jazz, & more, with melodies always front & center. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2022
