"Far too many a time
I have seen my mom cry
More than you, I presume
'Cause your dad didn't die"
Madeline, I hope you see this because this hit me hard. I'm new in my journey, my dad died in August. I'm older than you but the truth is you're never old enough to lose someone or see your mom go through something like this. Couple grief with dating, it's hard to even feel vulnerable enough to talk about my grief with him. We're taught that grieving is something we should do in private and as quickly as possible but the truth is, sometimes all I want to talk about is how it feels. To talk about sitting in the parking lot three hours after he died listening to the same song on repeat as my mother picked out a wreath. To talk about how it felt watching him slowly die for 20 months until I forgot he was dying, only to be blindsided by it. To talk about the uncomfortable mundanity of grief.
Grief is nasty and so isolating. We deserve to be able to talk about it without people treating us as if it's something they can fix. As if we can just ignore that the man who raised us is gone. As if that void coud ever be filled. I don't want to not grieve. I don't want to ignore how I feel. I love my dad so much, if grieving is how I have to experience that love for the rest of my life... I'm more than happy to make that sacrifice. I refuse to hide my feelings away.
I'm sorry for unpacking all of this in a comment you may never see, but I want you to know how much this EP has resonated with me and I feel understood.

I can't tell you how much this song means to me Madeline! Its been impossible to mask my depression since I moved to a new state on my own. All I want is someone to be patient and stick around, and love me even though I'm a downer. Everything sucks, but I shouldn't have to be perfect to be loved. But I love you Maddie!

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Losing my dad when I was 11 years old changed my entire life and who I am. This song so perfectly encapsulates the horrible struggle of carrying on as a child whose world has been devastated. The frustration and difficulty dealing with others who could never understand your feelings and why you're no longer the same.

looks straight at me and just try
to say something you mean
I'm a puppet tied up stuffed with anxiety
No, I won't go to dinner
you won't watch me eat
In 5 years you'll still wonder if I have real feet
Far too many a time, I have seen my mom cry
More than you I presume cause your dad didn't die
So I'll tell you the secret to staying alive
You just laugh and cry harder and scream to survive
Don't you know how to make me happy
You let me weep and you do it so gladly
Follow me as I tread water and start to believe
that I'm floating above all these monstrosities
On your left, you'll see colors that don't yet exist
On your right is the home to all lone pacifists
Far below is the black hole that wants me to drown
and the bad things I've done that always stick around
In your mind do something that you cannot hold
It's a world and you have it until you grow old
Don't you know how to make me happy
You let me weep and you do so gladly
Don't keep me sweet and toss out the rest
even though its what you do best
You cant keep me sweet and toss out the rest
I'll never stop making a mess
Don't you know how to make me happy
You let me weep and you do so gladly
