about

This is a song I wrote while trying to move forward. It’s about honoring the reality of the “bad” – difficult things that we can’t control – while also being honest about our own behavior and patterns. I’m a pretty visual person, so I really liked sinking into the idea of a beautiful mosaic or kaleidoscope depicting that broken bits can create such beauty.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
I can only love in fragments
Secret rooms and closets
Dissociate, detachment
Yeah it’s pretty flawless

I can only feel in fantasy
Overblown and reckless
Just has got to feed my vanity
Always charged and restless

Maybe if my father loved me
I’d be on some new shit
but I’d probably just be more empowered
in my bullsh—


CHORUS:
so hey
yeah hey
take the broken parts
make a mosaic so fine

I’ll say hey
yeah hey
take the broken parts
make this kaleidoscope mine


VERSE 2:
I will try to love more wholly
Open doors and windows
Reframe all the trauma slowly
Shine bright on the shadows

I will try to feel myself
All the sunlight and shade
Embracing every facet
No more masquerades

Maybe somewhere my father loved me
I just never felt it
All fear and no trust will do that
Time to find some new shit

Done with all the bullsh—


CHORUS:
so hey
yeah hey
take the broken parts
make a mosaic so fine

I’ll say hey
yeah hey
take the broken parts
make this kaleidoscope mine


VERSE 3/ OUTRO:
Maybe somewhere my father loves me
I’ll just never feel it
All fear and no trust will do that
Time to find some new shit

Done with all the bullsh—
