Name: Pomegranate ( w/ harmonies)
Duration: P00H03M34S
Description: This is a song that I wrote almost entirely by improvising lyrics over two chords into my voice memos and then changing a couple words to fit better. This track was recorded a while ago, and so there are harmonies, but not much other production, so I felt it still fit in with the other eggshells.

This is a song that I wrote almost entirely by improvising lyrics over two chords into my voice memos and then changing a couple words to fit better. This track was recorded a while ago, and so there are harmonies, but not much other production, so I felt it still fit in with the other eggshells.

lyrics

When I split apart like a pomegranate
Layers reveals that all I can keep in
Spilling seeds out I’m so sweet I’m so bitter
Souring my tongue
Souring my lungs
Souring the way you look at me

I want to be a morning meal
Pulled from the earth
Made to heal
I want to be hungry enough
To put myself in my mouth and eat up

When I split up like a pomegranate
Layers reveal I have walls so thin

Walk through me
Walk through me

I am so sticky and bitter and sweet
I am so sticky and bitter and sweet
And blood red
I am staining
I am staining

You can’t handle the mess that I make when
I spill out my seeds on the table
Now the white table cloth is stained
With blood red drops that I made from my eyes that I made from my arms
Tear me apart
I am a pomegranate
I have permission to be

when I split apart my layers reveal all that I can and have concealed

Walk through me I have permission to be
