that woman – joy lyrics
[from josephine’s instagram preview]
i’ve been out
looking for joy
at a party
with my hands high
trying to find
truth in the noise
move my body
shake my blood up
the light
she came
to loose my chains
whispered
you’ve been a prisoner for so long
dumb girl
you slave
searching for praise of your name
won’t find it laying with strangers
playing at danger
sat on a plate
where you gonna find joy?
keep moving, staying distracted
no need to practice
don’t need it badly
where you gonna find joy?
chop chop, go open your heart up
tick tock, get pulling your guard down
won’t find it looking for pats all over your back
what you playing at now?
where you gonna find joy?
the world conspires the day you surrender
yourself to being yourself
in all your glory
all your guts and f+ck ups and magic mistakes
that made you еxactly the way you woke up today
imperfеct and uncompromising
and you can run after fast cars, gold stars, wine bars
and drink nights away with people you don’t really love
and surrender to the woozy way you lose yourself
but your heart might always be half what it’s meant to be
