about

Dorothy is a song about having control taken away from you, about wanting so badly to be able to get back to doing what you love, but at the same time, being scared of stepping out of your comfort zone, and inside of all of that, being thankful for what you have.

lyrics

I'm keen to see the faces of my friends
But I'm scared I've been gone too long and forgotten
And the scene I've loved so much just like the world will soon move on
And I'll be left here on my own stuck at the bottom

I am pulled in all directions, don't know where I'm meant to fit
I am torn right down the middle, getting rope burns on my wrists
And there's not much I claim to know
I am keen, but I'm scared sick and if I had heels on my feet then I would click them
So I'd be on stage back home

I am scared to see the faces of my friends
But keen to see here still in the ashes
The scene I love so much, the world burned down the last two years
I just hope that we're running out of matches

I am pulled in all directions, don't know where I'm meant to fit
I am torn right down the middle, getting rope burns on my wrists
And there's not much I claim to know
I am scared but I'm still keen, but I'm not sure I can defeat
The anxious demons that now call my brain their home

I will lean on friends and family when I don't feel I can stand
And in turn I'll offer help when I am able
My circle might be small but they're the best I've ever had
Tonight, I sing this song to thank them all

And on the best days I remember just how good the old days were
I realise we never had a clue
And I can't believe how much I miss the only thing I've ever loved to do

I am pulled in all directions, don't know where I'm meant to fit
I am torn right down the middle, getting rope burns on my wrists
There's not much I claim to know
I am still keen, sick and scared, same old me, just longer hair
But now it's definitely time to come back home

So I will lean on friends and family when I don't feel I can stand
And in turn I'll offer help when I am able
My circle might be small but they're the best I've ever had
Tonight, I sing this song to thank them all
