Musical Mondays: Sum of Our Parts

This week's song:

Sum of Our Parts

by Mary Lambert

This is my skin that I've never fit in

I was born the queen of nowhere this is how it begins

I wonder is this your life, were you raised in deep water?

Are they pushing you down? Are you gonna push harder?

I want to know whoever broke you

I want to know how you can grow bigger

And don't go looking for some kind of rescue

You are the only one who can save you

[Chorus]

We are, we are, more than our scars

We are, we are, more than the sum of our parts

We are, we are, more than our scars

We are, we are, more than the sum of our parts

I didn't know I was a phoenix until I learned how to speak

Even with ashes in my mouth I was still born to breathe

I wonder are you like me were you left in the fire?

Are you raising yourself above your father's empire?

I want to know whoever broke you

I want to know how you can grow bigger

And don't go looking for some kind of rescue

You are the only one who can save you

[Chorus]

More than our scars...

More than the sum of our parts...

I, I burn bright

Look how bright we are

Look at all the things we have come from

Sometimes it hurts when you become them

Sometimes I bury myself in my own wreckage and don't wanna come out

Which part of you is still in the wreckage?

Which part of you clipped your own wings?

Which part of you will begin at your own end?

Which part of you will you let live again?

I really like this song, and I've been thinking about self-sabotage and how usually it's only myself standing in my way. So I can accept it, but I don't know how to change it and not do it anymore. So, I may not know how to change it, but I do know I can-just like she says-I can let it live again. One day.
