about

We’ve all been in that place, that place where you feel like you’ve become a weak version of yourself.. You know that you need to get out of that situation but it’s as if something has a power over you.

Sometimes in life we lose our power and it's ok to document those times especially when they help you acknowledge your weaknesses and overcome them. Kryptonite started as a confession about a person that I was allowing to control my mind. It later morphed into a realization that it was really about an internal fight within.. I was ultimately denying my inner child the freedom it craved and giving over my power to a person who didn't deserve it. We can blame people for our weaknesses but "the truth is the war is with myself."

lyrics

Lyrics: Kryptonite

It’s all so perfectly wrong
You aren’t the one I should give my love to
I let you in where it counts
Guess I just can’t help myself

When every battle is over
You are the one with the badge of honor
It’s like I’m under a spell
But the truth is the war is with myself

I wish I could go, how did I lose all my power,
I get weak as my feelings grow stronger for you are my kryptonite
Letting go, just really isn’t that easy, in love with my worst enemy oh
I can’t fight my Kryptonite

I try to find my way out
Rehearsing how I can tell you goodbye
Just when I got it all down
You pull me back in one more time
Ya you pull me back in every time

I want to go, I want to stay, I want you close and far away, I want to love, don’t want to hate, my kryptonite, my best mistake
