A Troubled Mind

from First Light by Martha Bean

/

lyrics

Call me a stranger,
Call me your foe
You can come with a wager,
But I left long ago

You can stare with your daggers,
Or sulk at the side
Your words twist and swagger,
Like a buoy at high tide

Take off all your disguises,
And bring your fears to the table
For there’s no use in hiding behind
A troubled mind

You can scream from the rooftops
Or bury your soul
In a world full of characters
That only you know

It might be forever,
Or maybe an hour
But I’ll stick around here
‘Cause you’re worth waiting for
Yeah you’re worth waiting for

Take off all your disguises,
And bring your fears to the table
For there’s no use in all these devices so -
Take off all your disguises,
And bring your fears to the table
For there’s no use in hiding behind
A troubled mind

A troubled mind…

about

Martha Bean Leicester, UK

Songs are ‘full of charm, delicateness, and pure, unadulterated loveliness’**, veering from enigmatic and sobering, to the brooding razor-sharp.

Recently played on BBC 6Music and supporting the likes of Marika Hackman, Scott Matthews and Seth Lakeman, Martha has a world-class voice well worth keeping your ears open for.
