about

The world some of come from are different than most. In fundamentalist religions some grow up in, there are laws for everything—what to eat, what to wear, how to live, even when and how to have sex. In that world, most choices were made for you.
This song was born from witnessing the ways those rules reached into marriage.
The verses carry that weight—the control, the shame, the bending of oneself to fit impossible expectations. The chorus is about the dissociation—going somewhere else to survive what feels unbearable.
This song is deeply personal, knowing what it’s like to escape inside of yourself, to leave her body because staying felt like too much.

lyrics

The underbelly of your disdain
Shoves me into a hide away
Where I can vanish and slip away
Clawing out my brain
The current state of your muscles
Clasped tightly around my throat
Turn me blue turn me inside out
I’m thirsty for your affect
daydreaming is my cocaine

I’m dancing in the sun
I’m dancing on my own
I’m dancing all night long
I’m dancing in the sun

Why
Do you watch me cry
Why do you burn me black
You keep on breaking me down
Daydreaming is my cocaine

I’m dancing in the sun
I’m dancing on my own
I’m dancing all night long
I’m dancing in the sun

I’m leaving my body and entering you
I’m leaving my body and entering you
I’m leaving my body and entering you
I’m leaving my body and entering you

I’m dancing in the sun
I’m dancing on my own
I’m dancing all night long
I’m dancing in the su
