Too many times you come across lyrics that sound like you've heard them before or you can't really relate to them. And I think that I write songs that sound fresh and sensual in kind of a layered, lush way. But I also think that they are real, and that's why I wanted to call the record 'Inside Out.' ↗

Even if the weather’s nice I don’t feel nice It seems like the weather’s mocking me I fall into a situation where I can’t deal with the anger and I struggle The world apart from me is running fine You’re living well It’s not fair, this isn’t fair I feel like people walking past me think I’m pitiful I can’t do anything right ↗
