I Am
Jehnny Beth's Fiery Confession: Embracing Vulnerability and Redemption
Lyrics
I am naked all the time
I am exposed and vulnerable at all times.
I am burning inside
I am experiencing intense internal turmoil or passion.
I am the voice no-one can hear
I am a voice that goes unheard by others.
I am drifting through the years
I am navigating through the passing of time.
I am the ocean
I am vast and deep, like the ocean.
I am the moon

I'm dying far too soon
I am facing an untimely death.
I am the needle
