The Window featuring Brian Chism

Happy Friday Anomalies!

The Window was written some years ago. Brian wrote the music and I wrote the lyrics. Even though I've performed it many times, it tugs at my heart each time I sing it because it's about feeling broken and vulnerable from one's past while embarking on a new relationship. 

I am a firm advocate of trauma exploration, healing through self-examination, vulnerability in strength and all of the emotional roads that lead to catharsis, understanding and growth. However, sometimes we don't have the time to heal in between things and are left picking out the shards of our past while simultaneously trying to be present. I tried to capture this simply in this song and it's what I think about when I perform it. 

Thank you for listening!

The Anomaly 

The Window

You were so comforting to me like a pillow, I feel I'm not ready to step away from the window 

Still I am so bruised and these wounds are so deeply infused and guarded like my heart is       

I want to try, please give me some time to reach the surface

Don't go away, I need you stay from this moment on

You are so precious to me like a treasure, I don't have anything yet of measure

Always say I'm gonna be, that I'm gonna be, that I'm gonna one day be able to save

You say that it's okay but it's not okay and it's really not okay to love you this way

When half of me is fading away

I want to try, please give me some time to reach the surface

Don't go away, I need you stay from this moment on 

Do you, do you, do you think that I am okay?

Will you, will you, will you think that it's all a shame?

Do you, do you, do you see that I--I'm not okay?

Will you, will you, will you please just stay?

I want to try, please give me some time to reach the surface

Don't go away I need you stay from this moment on
