about

"[Feeling] like a flower, unable to bloom in this environment. And I want to bloom. ... I think the world needs to love monsters more. To see us as worthy..."

~Talia

lyrics

I wanna own a sword some day
I’m gonna make it with my hands
Two-handing my own blade
I’m gonna swing it as hard as I can

There’s too much pressure pushing in to see
If you sense a storm coming it might just be me
I’m gonna start refusing to live in this position
There’ll be no flowers blooming under this condition

And I’ll get hot and hammered, annealing into healing
Get ground down and hardened from tempering the feeling

I wanna own a sword some day
I’m gonna make it with my hands
Two-handing my own blade
I’m gonna swing it as hard as I can

I’ll move into a castle for a kiss
If they treat us like monsters I guess that’s where we’ll live
Push us to the edges of the map
We stepped out of their boxes and they demonized us back

If you can’t look at me anyway I might as well become Medusa
No confusion or substitution, I won’t be losing anymore

I wanna own a sword some day
I’m gonna make it with my hands
Two-handing my own blade
I’m gonna swing it as hard as I can

I wanna own a sword some day
I’m gonna make it with my hands
Two-handing my own blade
I’m gonna swing it as hard as I can

When I own a some day
I will hold it up with my two hands
I won’t be laid to waste
Nobody’s stronger than I am

And if you think you’re bigger than me
And you try to come towards
You might be stronger than just me
But you’re not stronger than me and a sword

I'm gonna own a sword some day
I’m gonna make it with my own two hands
Two-handing my own blade
I’m gonna swing it as hard as I can

When I own a some day
I will hold it up with my two hands
I won’t be laid to waste
Nobody’s stronger than I am
