lyrics

Here I am trying to cut through the noise
at the top of my lungs I can't hear my own voice
do I even exist when I'm silent?
I don't know
My invisible body propped up on the throne
of the goddess whose ears are more keen than my own
Do you hear me? I'll take one more shot
and then I'll go

I am here, I'm okay
It's amazing the distance I go just to have my say
I am here, here I am
and no demon or angel can challenge the place where I stand
and no demon or angel can challenge the place where I stand

The sound of the river, the goddess, the sun
I lay down by the road when the day is all done
and the numbness from shouting my song to the wind subsides
There isn't much space in my purse for regret
I'm reborn from the ash of the fires I've set
so I'll burn in my sleep as soon as I close my eyes

I am here, I am strong
come tomorrow my pen will rewrite all that I've got wrong
I am here, here I am
and no demon or angel can challenge the place where I stand
and no demon or angel can challenge the place where I stand

I am here, where am I?
I imagine I'm lost in the space between earth and sky
but I see oh so clear
I don't know where I'd be if I were anywhere but here.

Kosi New York, New York

She's more than just a drama queen. She's got piercing eyes and a voice that's larger than her body. But, small as she is, she won't fit in a box. She switches styles more quickly than you can follow. First she's jazz, then she's blues, then she's rock, but always powerful. You definitely want to hear this girl sing... if you can handle it. ... more
