Sophie Hunter – The Gorge (Lyrics & Video)

The Gorge – Sophie Hunter Lyrics

There’s a gorge in the middle of the town

There’s a pit in the center of my stomach

I’m upset, I

Can’t ignore all the monsters in the ground

Can’t afford to engage without sinking way on down

So I live in the space between

It feels like a held breath

It feels like I’m helpless

I’m hellbent, I

The thing ‘bout surviving

Is nothing is promised

How bad do you want it

How bad do you

I, I

I don’t want to feel

I want to fly, fly

Cross my heart I hope

Before I die I

Find a way of life

That I’m not

Pushing along

Like a beast of burden

You, you

Feel you in the center every day

Hold on to the memory

In every stomach ache

Pushing it all down

While I keep pulling away

Pull away like a beast of burden

And I get stuck between going on and giving up

And all my options are just different ways of getting fucked

Every loss is a new reason I don’t fall in love

And all my loneliness it asks me if this is enough

And there’s a part of me that asks me if I want the pain

There’s a part of me that knows it wouldn’t be the same

Death drive, life instinct at stalemate

Well too bad it’s your time to step up to the plate

I, I

I don’t want to feel

I want to fly, fly

Cross my heart I hope

Before I die I

Find a way of life

That I’m not

Pushing along

Like a beast of burden

You, you

Feel you in the center every day

Hold on to the memory

In every stomach ache

Pushing it all down

While I keep pulling away

Pull away like a beast of burden

Ooh how do I open

I’ve been so closed off

I close all the curtains

Close all the blinds

Can’t let the light in

Can’t let them see me

They can’t see me like this

Can’t be me ‘round them

I’m done always fighting

Follow my instinct

To every demise and

I fuck it all up every time

Even further

I love you more every day

For what it’s worth oh

I, I

I don’t want to feel

I want to fly, fly

Cross my heart I hope

Before I die I

Find a way of life

That I’m not

Pushing along

Like a beast of burden

You, you

Feel you in the center every day

Hold on to the memory

In every stomach ache

Pushing it all down

While I keep pulling away

Pull away like a beast of burden
