about

A song that I came to write as I saw through a fundamentally unhealthy relationship dynamic that I had been conditioned to function in accordance with from the first day of my life.

lyrics

The wind is playing in my hair, waves are crashing my feet are bare,
a revelation dawning in salty ocean air.

This is more than just good bye, it's the ending of a lie,
a web of veils and wounds where I was your supply.

This is how I draw the line, this is holy ground.
For my heart to play and shine I will no longer be bound
to anyone who's not aligned with this joy that I've found.
From now on, only love, only love, only love will be cherished here,

It doesn’t matter what you try to tell, I know your every word now all to well,
they can’t reach me now, cause I’m no longer under your spell.

This is not to judge or blame, loving truth is all I claim,
turning shadows to light was the essence of our game.

This is how I draw the line, this is holy ground.
For my heart to play and shine I will no longer be bound
to anyone who's not aligned with this joy that I've found.
From now on, only love, only love, only love will be cherished here.
