lyrics

I was there, looking up the mountainside
I was there when you said it was alive
It's not god burning through the anthracite
I'm over night, I'm overnight

We drove by a truck of bones in plain daylight
Just a pile, unconstrained, I went white
The takeoff made me cry, but I took it, tell me why
I didn't come here just to lie
I didn't come here just to try

My fear hooked my arm
Stole me from where I'd come
Left me for dead? Oh please, I can get up and leave

More champagne, no complaints, knees on tile, my suitcase
Dragging me through the streets.

My fear hooked my arm
Stole me from where I'd come
Left me for dead? Oh please, I can get up and leave

We wait in line some more
You are the quiet one now
You were an architect, once, I can tell

Waving on parade whenever I'm awake
Sleepless I'm unseen, I don't make mistakes
25 no kind advice that I won't take
We made all the same signs
Two sets at the same time

I mistook my loneliness for bravery

about

Half Gringa Chicago, Illinois

Emerging from Chicago’s indie music scene, Half Gringa creates music informed by contemporary indie-rock and Latin American and midwestern folk. The name Half Gringa is both a tribute to and study of her legacy, stemming from a childhood term of endearment as “la Gringa” in her Venezuelan family and her bicultural experience growing up in the United States.
