lyrics:
i'm not the person that I thought I was
i couldn't tell you where the hate came from
maybe born in a storm, beneath an angry sky
now it's raining in my head, nearly all the time
now it's raining in my head, and i don't know why
all the love, all the kindness, all your best-laid plans
couldn't stop me from becoming the way that I am
you toiled on a bridge to cross the gap inside
but i couldn't help you build it and i don't know why
no i couldn't let you build it and god knows I tried
was i born with a hole in my heart?
a fatal fault at the start
tell me it's inevitable i'd end up with scars
i'm not the person that i thought i was
trying to come to terms with what you've done
in the fumes of your anguish, all my blistering pride
i'm still burning like a tire fire deep down inside
oh, i'm burning like a tire fire and I don't know why
was i born with a hole in my heart?
a fatal fault at the start
tell me it's inevitable i'd end up with scars from falling down, down
we were always meant to fall apart
nothing could have been done, is that right?
nothing could have been done
nothing could have been done, is that right?
cause i was born with a hole in my heart
we were fucked from the start
tell me it's inevitable i'd end up with scars from falling down, down
we were always meant to fall apart

As an adult woman recovering from living with undiagnosed autism, listening to Crane Wives is so cathartic. Her whole-hearted, hollistic rage at the world and people who destroyed her, her frustration at the people she was supposed to be able to trust and rely on.... "I shine only with the light you gave me."

Finally new music, i am pacing my enclosure
-
the fact that this is the response to never love an anchor breaks me continually. i can be trusted to be so normal. (cried when i heard this song)
-
Gnashing at the bars of my cage for an official release
-
This song NEEDS a studio release omg it is so good what the fuck
-
I'm going to fundamentally change as a person when this song finally gets an official release.
-
As someone who was in fostercare, never ended up going home to my mom, this song hits deeper than anything I have ever listened to. I ended up with a lot of anger towards my mother for letting me go, even though she had to, and I always blamed her for what had happened and never saw what she was trying ti do for herself until I truly healed. This song is the one thats making me scramble for tickets
-
I AM screeching at the sound of this song it’s so so GOOD. I can’t wait to hear it in a studio recording
-
Genuinely cannot wait for this song to be on Spotify, it’s so therapeutic to me because the story they tell with Never Love an Anchor and this song relates to me on a very personal level. My ex was so afraid of hurting me that he just pushed me away. I thought I was the problem so I kept trying to fix myself for them, while they just gave up. The hate and anguish in this song is so comforting
-
I am ACHING for this to be officially released on Spotify PLEASE 😭
-
This song is so beautiful, I hope they do an official release!
-

-
This bands gotten me through a lot of hard times in my life, their music is poetic and has such deep meanings. Their the only band to ever make me openly sob
-

-

-
