Home Movie

I sat myself down to watch the screen
What had been saved
Reeling in my years
And as my home movie played the scenes
The blinding light
Wouldn't hide a thing

In the bed I made, I'm lying awake
My dishevelled mess
My own Tracey Emin
How can the made be unmade once again?
Bring the medicine
Serve absolution

I will not sleep here now
I've traded in fear for self-respect
I will not sleep here now
I've tradеd in fear for self-love

Torе up the portrait that I had shot
To ease the pain
I'd quashed character
I put my comfort blanket on the curb
Took off my jewels
I am in my rags

In the bed I made, I'm lying awake
My dishevelled mess
My own Tracy Emin
How can the made be unmade once again?
Bring the medicine
Serve absolution

I will not sleep here now
I've traded in fear for self-respect
I will not sleep here now
I've traded in fear for self-love

But reputation comes to knock on my door
I've chosen bravery, honesty
I'm wide awake now, I'm so awake
This is day number one

I will not sleep here now
I've traded in fear for self-respect
I will not sleep here now
I've traded in fear for self-love
I will not sleep here now
I've traded in fear for self-respect
I will not sleep here now
I've traded in fear for self-love

A bountiful spring of self-respect
