Anna Tivel Desperation

Desperation is the 3rd single from Anna Tivel's May 31 2024 LP, Living Thing.
close your eyes and go somewhere, the windy coast, the forest floor
an airplane, another world, a dream
real life is far from fair, you tried and tried and got nowhere
it’s like somebody rigged the whole damn thing
bloody knuckles, empty hands, you want to fight, but all you ever had
is desperation
breathe it in and spit it out, you count the time in rolling clouds
in bruises and in other painful things
so when the storm comes crashing down, the kind your mama cried about
you find familiar comfort in the rain
battling a thousand walls, you want to climb but all you ever saw
is desperation
running hard against the wind, you want to start without that old feeling
of desperation
close your eyes and go somewhere, the windy coast, the forest floor
an airplane, another world, a dream
disappear beyond the glass, where shadows lean and finally rest
and you don’t feel that desperation
