[Intro]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
[Verse 1]
Lumping a heathen to my feelings
I'm surprised I'm still me
I blame no one for this life, but I'm surprised I still breathe
I got a boulder on my shoulder knowing nothing can free
Only caring for yourself, there's nothing to fear
But you're here
You're here
You're here
You're here
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell you I'm not the one
But I try to be sincere
In the river I was born
They should have made this clear
[Chorus]
To be sincerе
I've made this clear
[Refrain]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
[Verse 2]
I'vе been told not to dim my light by all those that I love
Although they can look into it when I leave it out
And I'm begging to be constrained by another's abode
Only so much I can say on the phone
Without beginning to unfold
To unfold
To unfold
To unfold
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell you I'm not the one
But I try to be sincere
In the river I was born
They should have made this clear
[Chorus]
To be sincere
I've made this clear
[Chorus]
To be sincere
I've made this clear
Heathen was written by Lauren Auder.

Lauren Auder released Heathen on Wed Feb 03 2021.
i think this may be my favourite song i’ve ever worked on.
It’s about longing for a test run before life proper. Then learning to accept that all we get is a 9 month bomb shelter before being very much thrown into the world.
