    Lizzy has one of the most honest voices I’ve probably ever heard. Her songwriting shines not only through her lyrics and imagery but her voice and clever use of dynamics🥺

      She's the female Jeff Buckley, if you ask me. Jeff also had a really amazing voice and a great use of dynamics.

    Erase me is one of the most musically satisfying song I've heard in a while. I thought it might have been due to Jacob Collier's insane harmonies but this version proves otherwise. It's just such a well written and perfectly performed song!

      I think it sounds so much more beautiful without Collier’s faff! Her acoustic songs are gorgeous. altho no hate to the pop’d up ones, i love those too.

    Why am I awake?
    Nails on the floor and soot on my tongue
    I don't know his name, but I still taste the rum (rum, rum, rum, rum)
    Nothing there but skin
    Skeletons crawl on the ceiling, they know
    That him and his aftershave hit like a drug (drug, drug, hmm)
    Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream
    And you're fading, but he feels like you in between
    I've said too much, in and out of wanting us
    Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase me?
    Who will erase me? Mmm
    Race you to the end (oh-woah)
    My innocence waits like it desperately knows
    That I'll crash if I don't let you go (go)
    Don't answer me, I'm calling just to hear you scream
    And you're fading, but he feels like you in between
    I've said too much, in and out of wanting us
    Now you're fading, and I wonder who will erase me?
