sittin’ on my bed, every morning every evening, thinking to myself well maybe if I just worked harder if I just worked better I could figure this out cause the world is so despondent, oh so heavy and it feels like I could heal us, but I know that would be ideal, no it isn't real, but that would be ideal feelin’ how I feel maybe not ideal, but that's because it's real ideal (ooh ooh) (x4) sittin’ on the couch, after work, after schooling, try to watch the news I can't help but cry every time someone dies, someone lives, I’m a rain cloud ‘cause this worlds a rollercoaster and I'm riding and sometimes I wanna get off, but I know that would be ideal, no it isn't real, but that would be ideal feelin’ how I feel maybe not ideal, but that's because it's real ideal (ooh ooh) (x4) night and day, I’m musing I’m musing I’m musing love so much, but why am I still losing? yes night and day I’m dreaming I’m dreaming I’m dreaming love too much but I can't help it, can't stop that would be ideal, no it isn't real, but that would be ideal feelin’ how I feel maybe not ideal, but that's because it's real that would be ideal, no it isn't real, but that would be ideal feelin’ how I feel maybe not ideal, but that's because it's real ideal (ooh ooh) (x4)

I'm on a plane flying higher and higher but the doors are wide open when I'm feeling well, I'll go as high as I desire but if I get clumsy, be my parachute my head's spinning 'round, clouds in my mind would you keep me steady? I'm trying to see through these grey skies of worry but if I lose focus, be my parachute sometimes I'm spiraling out of control, it's hard to fight the gravity pulling me down yeah sometimes I'm spiraling, and I can't fight the gravity and I don't wanna take you down with me I know it ain't easy to love me, I know that I'm trouble but sometimes my mind can't handle this world, so if I crash down be my parachute, be my guide, be my, be my, be my, be my (x3) be my parachute

there are ghosts in my chest, they keep talking to me and I just know that you could make them go away and there are cobwebs and spiders, they keep crawling to me from the space that you left when you strayed this house is eerie, I wanna break free, you won't let me this haunted heart has one two many spirits, no I don't wanna feel it this haunted heart is too tired, quit haunting me I see your face in my sleep and you're smiling at me, just a tease, but I keep looking back till it fades and decays, these ghosts are taunting me 'cause they know I'll just keep looking back this feels so eerie, I wanna break free, but you won't let me this haunted heart has one two many spirits, no I don't wanna feel it this haunted heart is too tired, quit haunting me I see your silhouette in the shadows that my heart projects when it gets too nostalgic I wish that I could reach inside, I wish that I could exercise these phantom figments of you, oh you this haunted heart has one two many spirits, this haunted heart is too tired, ooh this haunted heart has one two many spirits, no I don't wanna feel it this haunted heart is too tired, quit haunting me (x4)

It's Fine 02:48
it's fine, it's fine, it's so fine I'll start every conversation and we'll beat at our dead jokes until you leave and say you'll call next time but it's fine, it's fine, it's so fine I'll carry this friendship till it burns out with soot on my hands, still making the plans we'll grab dinner sometime I'll send you a wedding invite in case you forget and you'll throw a fake smile as I walk down the aisle but it's fine it's fine, it's so fine if you don't wanna write me if we're not really friends, we shouldn't pretend so I'll put down my pen now whenever I see you around, it's only by chance pretend we're alright, just being polite but it's fine it's fine, it's so fine if you don't wanna write me if we're not really friends, we shouldn't pretend so I'll put down my pen goodbye, my love, it's fine

about

In her debut EP Sakura, Sarah Bernadette explores themes of identity, mental health, and recovery.

The Meaning Behind "Sakura":

In her words: “Cherry blossoms bloom and die within a few days, and have come to represent the fleeting beauty of life. I’m a person who always takes things too seriously and worries too much, but writing and performing my music allows me to take a breath and appreciate the beauty of the present. This, coupled with its significance in Japanese culture, is why my debut EP is titled Sakura, the Japanese word for cherry blossoms.”
