The Truth That I Suppose I Always Knew

by Louise Connell

/

about

New single taken from Louise's forthcoming album "Clients Of Suddenness", featuring the legendary Mark Brzezicki on drums.

lyrics

What can I do to make this my fault?
I'd eat the shrapnel if I thought I built the bomb,
I am the bully and the wallflower
Bruising blooming on my skin like inkblots on every page I've read

And after all it seems that I'm the one who cast shapes on the wall
Flickering memories of what I thought amounted to my soul
And as the mountains fell
The thorny roots dispelled
Telling me the truth that I suppose I always knew

I was the desert and the island
The plane that crashes on the sand in children's dreams
I thought that I could be the village
Filled with houses filled with guilt
And never thinking
This is not my fault

And after all it seems that I'm the one who cast shapes on the wall
Flickering memories of what I thought amounted to my soul
And as the mountains fell
The thorny roots dispelled
Telling me the truth was written on the wall

After all it seems that I'm the monster under my own bed
Tales your parents told and can't recall that haunt you nonetheless
And as the tide drew close
The water filled with ghosts
Telling me the truth that I had carried all along
Telling me the truth that
I suppose I always knew
