about

This is a very personal song that I wrote during my second time in chemotherapy (5 years after the first time). I have never publicly shared the music I wrote and composed during my time in the hospital as I faced my mortality. But I felt the need to share this song as a part of my debut album, which consists of so many layers of my life story thus far. Thank you in advance for taking the time to meet me where I'm at in my vulnerability. -Jae

lyrics

VERSE 1
This cosmic chaos Underneath
Clouds hang down beneath
my heavens.
My tears fall
Like menthol
Tracing coolly down my face.
Alone, I'm left in disrepair
Take my soul I’ll lay it bare
Before you.

PRECHORUS
But I come alive / as I let go
Our scars collide / as only you could show.

CHORUS
Through this violent peace, I'll soar / With you / Have broken my heart / to save me

VERSE 2
A scent of bleach that rises up from
Crisp white linens meant to hug
My bones.

A somber silence cuts so deep
Beside machines that never sleep
To dream.

Can't decide to sweat or shiver
My body's weak from what’s delivered
Inside.
