ENOUGH & CIRCLES (from Me Daza) written and performed by Reid Jamieson & Carolyn Victoria Mill, more at https://www.reidjamieson.com This was filmed as part of the Great Canadian Flood Relief Benefit. You can still donate (we did!) to help those impacted by this devastating natural disaster. https://www.floodrelief.ca #floodreliefbc (please excuse the guitar mix, everyone was volunteering!) ENOUGH (on self esteem and the distorting funhouse mirrors that surround us every day) Small inside As you wander through your day How hard you try, to justify Not take up too much space Are you good enough Worth a little love? Are you enough? Kneel and bow You just give yourself away And swallow down The tiny sounds Of what you had to say Are you smart enough Worth a little love? Are you enough? You learned early on that You were somehow flawed The reason that he went away If anything went wrong You made the blame your own And paid…. Burdened by The weight of past mistakes You paint the lie With masks you buy That make up for a fake Facing shame You quickly turn away Reflections in The window’s pane Haves nothing kind to say Do you rate enough? Rate a little love? Are you enough? I don’t know who told you You were never born to Be the one that anyone needs Just the way you are has Always been enough For me You deserve So much more Than you take To stand up proud And sing out loud Believe me when i say That you’re good enough Worthy of all my love Yes you’re enough….. CIRCLES (on the struggle to escape the cycle of domestic abuse) We’re always running around In circles, circles Back to the beginning here we go We’re always running round In circles, circles Where it stops, nobody can know I’ve seen this light before It’s shining in my eyes Now i can’t see no more Have you been keeping score? Well anyone can tell It’s not worth crying for We’re always running around In circles, circles Back to the beginning here we go We’re always running round In circles, circles Where it stops, nobody can know Nobody can know Just walking out the door And then another year And not one minute more Have you been keeping score? Well anyone can tell It’s not worth fighting for We’re always running around In circles, circles Back to the beginning here we go We’re always running round In circles, circles Where it stops, nobody can know Nobody can know Nobody can know Too much to ignore Another night of fear Enough to start a war Have you been keeping score? Well anyone can tell It’s not worth dying for We’re always running around In circles, circles Back to the beginning here we go We’re always running round In circles, circles Where it stops nobody knows We’re always running round In circles, circles Back to the beginning here we go We’re always running round In circles, circles Where it stops, nobody can know You just gotta let it go Nobody can know You just gotta let it go Nobody can know You just gotta let it go Nobody can know
