Nobody fears the height, you all just fear the fall. Go to the edge sometime and prove your body wrong

Dessa lyrics that remind me of Hadestown

[thesingalongsong]

“I'm packed and I'm out before dawn

Leave a tip on the sink, ah, the staff they worked hard

I hit rain, I hit sleet, but mostly weather stays good

Hit a deer on I-80, fucked up the hood

But you can't play for keeps if you never draw blood

You just brace and you breathe

You drive through the dust

You go through people and places

And hope the engine can take it

They get you up on the blocks on a regular basis,”

[gravedangerahead]

God, I love this song so, so much

Just the image of her literally opening her heart on a napkin on the floor, trying and failing to find space in it for forgiveness

And then finding the ghost of the child she once was, the child who still had a heart big enough to forgive someone she cares about, all of it just gets to me.

It's so visceral and touching at the same time, and I think it's a really creative and unique way to express a common sentiment
