Now Playing Week 6 - Amelia Curran and Larkin Poe

This week, I have had two songs playing through my head on repeat! This first song is by an artist named Amelia Curran called The Mistress. Just a really cool, chill, song. Very poetic.

Lyrics:
hello it's me the mistress
is there anybody home?
cuz the last place I should be is sittin' here alone
all I ask for is forgiveness
if you've got some give it here
you don't act much like you need it
you don't look much like you care

and will you need me in the summer?
will you need me in the spring?

I believe my life is ending I don't know where to begin
I've got a page in my back pocket of the seven deadly sins
and its dragging me around among the needles and the pins

and I dont need to take a breather
I'm on the outside looking out
yeah, I don't need to see your papers
cuz I know what you're about
you had me by the bible and you had me by the belt
and you had me from the instant my cold love began to melt
and then you praise me for my inspiration
asked me for an explanation
followed up with hesitation
fit my primal expectation
I don't care but I don't mind
you can call me any time
you can holler through the fortress
and kick me out of line
I don't expect it from the grief that gathers in my head
I like suspended disbelief
I like to spend the day in bed
I like to spend the nights in heaven
hanging with the dead
you know, Judas and his women and the voices in my head
I've got my eyes upon the mirror
I've got my hands up in the air
I confess to my distress yeah, I great crazier each year
you know I'd change it if I could you know I like to say that I would
but there's a war between the parts of me
the evil and the good
and you try and stop me i'm on fire
it doesn't look that way
you know, I used to be a liar
but living's set me straight
I don't come with no disclaimer I'm like everybody else
we keep our demons on the burner and our morals on the shelf
and nobody asks for my opinion because you dont want to hear
I swear I'm only human wishing I could disappear
and you must think its an illusion that I like to live in fear
of a probable solution of why the devil put me here
and now no judgement call will kill me
just makes me close my eyes
and I sink into the slumber to the prison of my mind
where I'd love to introduce you
if you found a way inside
you could sell me retribution and totally demystify
until i wonder how I got here
until I don't know who to be
is it better to be grounded?
is it better to be free?
am I better off without you?
am I happier alone?
hello, its me the mistress, could you please pick up the phone?

which is actually really neat!

The second song I have had stuck in my head is by a band called Larkin Poe. This is a band with two sisters who play multiple instruments. In this song, Mad As A Hatter, they explain that it is about menal illness. It's a very powerful song and their voices blow my mind!

Lyrics:
I know what time is, Time is a thief.
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep.
You'll never feel it.
It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head.
Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said...
It happens to everyone...
Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
and I can't forget that one fourth of his blood is mine
I try not to worry....

(Chorus)
PLEASE don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine.
Please don't come for me,
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time.
Please don't come for me.
Mind over matter when you're as mad as a hatter...

It's hard to draw a clear distinction
When you are who you are.
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
though I keep playing
Well they say the world is what you make it
you think, speak and breathe.
and those rules solidify, stuck in a world of make believe.
You make the best of what you are given....

(CHORUS)

Off with the head, off with the head....
paint the roses, paint the roses....
Please.......
