Emily Hackett - Validation (interlude) Lyrics

Emily Hackett Lyrics

"Validation (interlude)"

God do you remember
Driving just to hear the record
Up and down the parking lot
You'd skate the hill
I'd pick you up
I've been trying to get back there
Desperate for an ease only a teenager can feel
Now I'm crying
So we go on vacation
Takes a week back just to heal
And our bank account takes a hit that makes me feel I have to kneel
Why can't we find a balanced life
Which agent has the deal
Make a record
Kill yourself to get it out
Hope for the best
And when it's out
Do it again but better now
Competition's fierce
I'm doing this one for myself
Cause we're all fucking busting ass
Trying to survive
Making art is hell
Making art is hell
Making art is health
Why do I need this so bad?
Is it just the choice I made that I feel I can't go back
Or is it really who I am
That needs some validation
I just want someone singing back
