    I'm 35 and I still can't write about trauma like this. Every time I try, I just end up writing a song about macaroni and cheese or something similarly silly. I don't dare to even write, let alone share, something that makes me feel so exposed. She's so fucking brave. I love this song and everything she has done.

      I was on my knees,
      spankings and mac and cheese,
      the kraft sauce please,
      I gasp and wheeze
      In a sinking bedroom,
      where I cry myself to sleep,
      trauma sticking to my insides like the orange yellow crust on week old bowls
      I pay for therapy, afraid to become a weak old soul.

    at a very young age anytime I was around older men I always had this gut feeling, I could never describe the feeling in words but it always shook me to my bones. Almost a sense of creepiness I’d get from them. One time I went to a church camp and there was this man in his thirties who wouldn’t leave me alone, he would always try to get me to “hang out with him” or join him in games. He never did it to the other children. And I remember how persistent he was. I never understand why he was so persistent. I had to cry in front of my best friend at the time and she told him I don’t want to be around him just for him to leave me alone. And I’ve had so many more experiences like that, this song almost brings comfort to my child trauma. Thank you Phoebe.

    [Verse 1]
    I hate you for what you did
    And I miss you like a little kid
    I faked it every time
    But that's alright
    I can hardly feel anything
    I hardly feel anything at all
    [Verse 2]
    You gave me fifteen hundred
    To see your hypnotherapist
    I only went one time
    You let it slide
    Fell on hard times a year ago
    Was hoping you would let it go, and you did
    [Chorus]
    I have emotional motion sickness
    Somebody roll the windows down
    There are no words in the English language
    I could scream to drown you out
    [Verse 3]
    I'm on the outside looking through
    You're throwing rocks around your room
    And while you're bleeding on your back
    In the glass
    I'll be glad that I made it out
    And sorry that it all went down like it did
    [Chorus]
    I have emotional motion sickness
    Somebody roll the windows down
    There are no words in the English language
    I could scream to drown you out
    Hey, why do you sing with an English accent?
    I guess it's too late to change it now
    You know I'm never gonna let you have it
    But I will try to drown you out
    [Bridge]
    You said when you met me, you were bored
    You said when you met me, you were bored
    And you, you were in a band when I was born
    [Chorus]
    I have emotional motion sickness
    I try to stay clean and live without
    And I want to know what would happen
    If I surrender to the sound

    Just discovered this. Omg all the emotions. She's got an extremely Canadian feel for an American indie folk singer. Fantastic stuff.

    Love how there are no words to drown it out but the long note is the surrender and everything is just beautiful sound.

    This is exactly what I was looking for from the demo version. Amazing! You guys hit all points. Thank you. There’s that last “I have emotional motion sickness” that the studio/non demo does not hit. This is right on the money.
