about

« In Our Heads » I created more than just a series of mentally intimate songs in the dimly lit maid’s room of a post war building on Rue Dansaert. I created a new path, a new life, and discovered a new voice I thought I didn’t have - an inner voice that guided me to be better to myself and gave me the power to transform my life.

lyrics

INTRO
Holding on to the words that we said
Holding on to the words that we heard in our heads
Holding on to the words that we said
Holding on to the words that we heard in our heads

VERSE
What cannot be done
What cannot be said is dead
I'm done time for a little fun
Let you know how I feel
Get my thoughts off my chest
I'm trying to catch my breath and I can't do the rest
If you want to survive gotta let go of the lies
Gotta do the things that's gonna bring and take us by surprise
But when I look in your eyes
I can tell that every word we say is a sacrifice
We blame ourselves, we blame each other
But we need to stop and help one another
Cuz if we keep holding on to the words we don't say
You and I are both betrayed

CHORUS
Holding on, Holding on,
Holding on, Holding on,
Holding on, Holding on
To the words that we said
Holding on to the words that we heard in our heads
Holding on to the words that we said
Holding on to the words that we heard in our heads

HOOK
What cannot be done and what cannot be said is dead
What cannot be done and what cannot be said is dead
I'm done time for a little fun
It's dead. I'm done time for a little fun

VERSE
We trip on our lives when we finally realize
That talking 'bout our problems is the only way to rule our skies
Time flies by before we even notice all the damage and
We try to salvage what cannot be folded
The hands that we were dealt
Our lies under our belts
Checking and raising our feelings
Dealing with each other's healing
Even though in the end all the words we said
Were false expressions of the words we heard inside our heads
Gotta let go to be free of the memories
Free of the rivalry that plagues our camaraderie
Can't you see
It wasn't meant to be
So why are we

CHORUS
Holding on, Holding on,
Holding on, Holding on,
Holding on, Holding on
To the words that we said
Holding on to the words that we heard in our heads
Holding on to the words that we said
Holding on to the words that we heard in our heads
Holding on to the words that we said
Holding on to the words that we heard in our heads

HOOK
What cannot be done and what cannot be said is dead
What cannot be done and what cannot be said is dead
I'm done time for a little fun
I'm done time for a little fun
It's dead
