lyrics

Cold, alone
Broken bones
Could you take me home
In and out
Muffled shouting
Babe, don't pout
You're downtown

Met alone
Where we going
Hands are moving round
Scared, invaded
Strained, ashamed and
Is this my fault

We are equal but I'm fighting you
I never once said that I invited you

Who can I tell
Don't wish me well
Just believe me
Eyes empty and all

Humiliated
Blamed and hated
This is my fault

We go on and on and on
On and on and on
Pleading for the wrongs to be righted
Dying so we won't have to hide it longer

We are equal but I'm fighting you
I never once said I invited you
All the names we're called
And you only look
For all the things you say we should have done
Have done, have done

It's not how much spent
It isn't where you went
Or any style of dress
Seems like common sense

We are ancients from the greatest moon
All life in our womb
Power us, and you've got power, too
But don't assume that you're due an invitation

We are equal but I'm fighting you
I never once said I invited you
All the names we're called
And you only look
For all the things you say we should have done
We're done, we're done

Rhythmic Meditation

supported by 6 fans who also own “Invitation”

My favourite track is changing day to day, different lyrics speaking to me in different moments. But this album has been on repeat since I got it. This stunningly beautiful music is my soundtrack to my yoga practice, cooking, working, I'm singing these in the shower. Not many albums do this to me. Thank you Beautiful Chorus! <3 Jennifer Snowdon
