about

I wrote '1k lbs' (thousand pounds) last summer during the lockdown, in witness to loss and extraordinary pain. I was searching for hope in trauma, seeing dreams as conversations with those that have passed, and finding connectedness in our collective isolation. I hope it moves you and helps you feel less alone.

lyrics

I know it haunts you
Thousand pounds of heartache on the surface
I know it has you
You're barely holding on to those that see you

Try as you might you cannot fight the weight
Just hold on

You're not alone
There's no one strong enough to hold this burden
The only thing that's left is just to breathe in
Let yourself be held don't fight this feeling
You're not alone

I know you're trying
To push your way back to those holy moments
Her life was taken
Before you had a chance to say goodbye

All the times you'll never share
It's so fucking unfair

You're not alone
There's no one strong enough to hold this burden
The only thing that's left is just to breathe in
Let yourself be held don't fight this feeling
You're not alone

When you woke up from the dream that she gave you
Holding tight to the feeling of the in between
You've been trying and fighting to find your way back
When you woke up from the dream that she gave you
And she told you not to let go of this life 'cause
For all the agony of losing her close
Everything that you dream will be a gift to her
When you wake up

You're not alone
There's no one strong enough to hold this burden
The only thing that's left is just to breathe in
Let yourself be held don't fight this feeling
You're not alone

You're not alone
There's no one strong enough to hold this burden
The only thing that's left is just to breathe in
Let yourself be held don't fight this feeling
You're not alone
