I'm thinking that I could be the weakest link.
Stripped bare, my whole body reacts to the thought.
God knows, there are some days that I know I'm tough,
Still, I'm feeling like I couldn't change myself enough.
Yeah, I feel it,
Deep in my chest,
Can I shake it?
Is it enough?
And it begins:
Am I enough?
Am I enough?
So give me the score,
Sharpen the knife,
Tell it to me straight, now,
Don't you play nice.
Am I doing it wrong?
Doing it right?
Make it look easy?
Put up a fight?
I'm on the inside, looking out,
I hate myself when I feel the doubt
In everything I've ever done.
So give me the score,
Am I the only one?
God damn, I'm unravelling in my skin,
Drenched to the bone, sick to my stomach,
Like I don't deserve half of the things I've won.
My heart is heavy, it weighs a ton.
Yeah, I feel it,
Deep in my chest,
Can I shake it?
Is it enough?
And it begins:
Am I enough?
Am I enough?
Will you give me the score?
Sharpen the knife,
Tell it to me straight, now,
Don't you play nice.
Am I doing it wrong?
Doing it right?
Make it look easy?
Put up a fight?
I'm on the inside, looking out,
I hate myself when I feel the doubt
In everything I've ever done.
So give me the score,
Am I the only one?
Give me the score,
Sharpen the knife,
Tell it to me straight, now,
Don't you play nice.
Am I doing it wrong?
Doing it right?
Make it look easy?
Put up a fight?
I'm on the inside, looking out,
I hate myself when I feel the doubt
In everything I've ever done.
So give me the score,
Am I the only one?

Skye Wallace is
what happens when a trained singer with east coast roots discovers punk rock in their youth and writes music that makes you feel excited....more
As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H
This debut from the Melbourne-based folk-rock band tackles environmental issues, self-determination, and relationships. Bandcamp New & Notable May 26, 2023
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
From the start to finish, this is a powerful album. The only thing better than listening to it is seeing Skye Wallace and her band play live. jgoodeill
