Vacation
Breathing in Life's Vacations: Church Girls' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
One day out on my own and I'm doing alright
Feeling independent and managing well
I've studied tricks to fight back all my old routines
Learned methods to resist previous habits or patterns
How could I explain to you what it's like?
Difficulty conveying the experience to someone else
That taking one step's like a raindrop in the sea
Progress feels insignificant in a vast context
And those meetings where the lowlifes groan and speak so easily
Discomfort in gatherings where negativity prevails
It's like no one ever taught me how
Feels lacking in guidance or education
That breathing in and out's like a small vacation
Simple acts feel like a break or relief
I've left my body for the shore
Desire to escape, disconnect from current state
I'm banking on the thought that they'll be waiting
Hopeful that others will be there for support
When I myself would be out the door
Uncertainty about personal commitment to stay
One week out on my own and I'm doing alright
Continued independence and coping
The walls in this place are where echoes go to die
Solitude feels suffocating, no external noise
It's just that the same dreams come every night
Repetitive dreams haunt, time feels wasted
The years are draining down as wasted days creep by
Feeling of time slipping away with no progress
And those secrets that I've kept are well-fed and have doubled in size
Hidden problems growing, unnoticed by others
How come no one ever taught me how
Sense of lacking necessary knowledge or guidance
That breathing in and out's like a small vacation
Basic actions bring temporary relief
I've left my body for the shore
Desire to disconnect from current state
I'm banking on the thought that they'll be waiting
Hoping for external support during difficult times
When I myself would be out the door
Uncertainty about personal commitment to stay
Breathing in and out's like a small vacation
Reiteration of finding solace in simple actions
I've left my body for the shore
Desire to detach from current situation
I'm banking on the thought that they'll be waiting
Dependence on external support during uncertainty
When I myself would be out the door
Uncertainty about personal commitment to stay
