i'm jumping
out of my skin
desperate to plunge in-
to something
to something
but the skin i'm in keeps
holding me back
as i weigh all the options
the options, the options
i'll edge right to the plunge
eyes closed, turn right around and run
turns out i'm afraid of anything
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
turns out i'm afraid of anything
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
anything that moves
anything that shakes its head at me
turns out i'm afraid of anything
guess all those words cut
deeper than i knew
anything to gain is now
something more to lose
but i can't be confined
by the lines of my own mind
got to reach for the breakthrough
and break through, to break through
turns out i'm afraid of anything
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
turns out i'm afraid of anything
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
anything that bites
anything that could make me happy
turns out i'm afraid of anything
turns out i'm afraid of anything,
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
hate how i'm afraid of anything
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
but one day… one day
i won't i won't i won't
won't be afraid of anything
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
won't be afraid of anything
afraid of anything, afraid of anything
and I'll dare to go
anywhere my heart can see
one day won't be afraid
of anything

A new record from Sondre Lerche is packed full of big hooks, bigger feelings, and twinkly instrumentation more minimalist than baroque. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2020
