Nothing’s fine, you'll be alright despite the going rate And if you make it out alive you'll wish you hadn't stayed But don't think about it too much cause it don't mean a thing I know it makes it hard to wake up but it makes me glad you came Oh I wish that you were better babe, you didn't have to sweat it out each day But the sadness lasts forever babe and things they don't get better they just change Twice as much as you can take and nothing you could do And everything you'll ever win you'll only stand to lose And soulmates don't exist but if they did I'd bet on you And I know that's not romantic but it's true Don't you wish that you were better babe you didn't have to sweat it out each day But the sadness lasts forever babe and things they don't get better they just change Don't you wish that you were better babe you didn't have to sweat it out each day But the sadness lasts forever babe and things they don't get better they just change

Talk 04:50
Just passing time, wrapped up safe on the shelf And I've lost my mind but I keep it to myself A fool for my pride, I'm a hazard to my health But it heals just in time so it's all just as well I've made my own world and I'm doing just swell It's pretty up here but it's lonely as hell The truth is I'm fine and I lie so damn well And I've fooled this whole town, but you could always tell I don't say a word, you don't ask, you don't need to I've known you some time now or maybe I've dreamed you And if we’re all make-believe, just a figment of sleep Can I be the girl of your dreams? And I know I’m not much of a hand to hold Just a bag of bones and a sad little soul I never could quite catch a smile or a high for the show And I swear that I tried, but I’m tired of just playing along Won’t you spare me the time Maybe stay here awhile and just talk And darling you look tired, I’d like to hold you up awhile And I know that I’m small but I could carry you for miles Don’t know if I’d make it, but god knows I’d try And if your world’s getting heavy, the weight is all mine And all the things I’d like to say But they’re no good and I’m afraid Trying so hard not to get in the way Oh, I know I’m not much of a hand to hold Just a bag of bones and a sad little soul I never could quite catch a smile or a high for the show But you never did mind and I don’t have to try anymore Won’t you stay here awhile Lift this weight off my mind and just talk

Safe and sound, I reached the top to come back down Still trying to turn my thoughts around And I swear this time I’ve got the whole thing all worked out But I lose my mind in the bathroom of your friends house So I run and hide past the boulevard and bury my pride Keep my skin ajar to settle my mind Just to cover up and swear I’m alright But I lied, won’t you hold me close I’m scared that I’ll cry I do that sometimes Lo and behold, the single most unfortunate girl Who sits and cries on top of the world Got it so damn good that it hurts And I should feel much better But I just feel worse You’re cool as hell, I hold my breath my breath I bet you can’t tell I’m not scared of you, just scared of myself Cause you talk like you were born for the crowd And I’m standing here with blood in my mouth Trying to keep from spilling out Lo and behold, the single most unfortunate girl Who sits and cries on top of the world Got it so damn good that it hurts And I should feel much better But I just feel worse So I drown my mind a thousand leagues beneath the porcelain tiles But the water always ends up in my eyes So I cut my loss and let it run wild I do that sometimes Lo and behold, the single most unfortunate girl Who sits and cries on top of the world Got it so damn good that it hurts And I should feel much better But I don't feel much better I just feel worse

Home 04:47
Soft and frail I rant and I rail I get drunk, make a fool of myself Blame it on the war we own and my mental health You hold your liquor and take it so well We do the most, put on a show Heavens knows we’re both battered and stoned Let’s leave the party and take off our clothes We don’t have to touch, could just lay really close Don’t go, leave me alone Won’t you hold me babe, I don’t feel at home Miles away, but I don’t mind the cold It’s a funny thing, it’s some kind of joke You smoke too much, and I’m scared you might die And I joke too much, cause I’m scared I might cry It’s the mess that we made babe, and no one gets by But I call out your name just to hear it sometimes Don’t go, leave me alone Won’t you hold me babe, I don’t feel at home Miles away, but I don’t mind the cold It’s a funny thing, it’s some kind of joke Turn down the lights, cover your eyes Please go gently babe, I’m wounded and tired But you call my name like the very first time Now I’m small and defenseless and naked and shy Don’t go, leave me alone Won’t you hold me babe, I don’t feel at home Miles away, but I don’t mind the cold It’s a funny thing, it’s some kind of joke

The girl across the hallway is a whore The boys along the boulevard line up at her door But she's shy despite the miles she might have worn She draws the blinds and turns off all the lights when she performs The woman at the counter in the store She’ll give you all you ask for at a price you can afford She’ll turn you into gold and keep you warm And if you give it back to her, she’ll make you feel at home She took me in and made me as her own Showed me love like I have never known Now all my wounds have faded and I’m cleaner than before The girl you gave your heart to is a whore You’re not her type, she doesn’t mind she’s generous and sure And though it feels so right, she was never yours She’ll give you what you ask for then leave when she gets bored She took me in and made me as her own Showed me love like I have never known Now all my wounds have faded and I’m cleaner than before You’ll get it babe, the whole damn thing, it’s yours But the angel that you pray to is a whore And she took me to the altar that you carved her out of stone And washed me of my sins and made me whole She took me in and made me as her own Showed me love like I have never known Now all my wounds have faded and I’m cleaner than before

I’ve seen and I’ve heard quite enough The world spins too fast and I’ve tried keeping up But I’m always in last stuck behind, sweeping up With a broom and a bag just collecting the dust I climb on the roof and I watch All of the miniature people wake up Hide in the subway car, sleep on the bus Try and get out alive and never once Do they open their eyes to see clear enough And darling, haven’t you heard No one ever listens to the words A work of art impressive at its worst Asking twice as much as I deserve Cut and clean, I ache and I heave And I'm sick but I'll get better babe Won't you be kind now, won't you be sweet Cause I’m small and not as strong as I try to be But you’re looking to me and it’s all that I see And I like to think you’re just that I need Cause for a second I thought you believed And that made all the difference babe Guess you give what you want to receive And I die a slow death so you’ll notice me The crowd is impressed and the critics confess That from the back row looks like the real thing But you know better than that, don’t you babe Yeah, you know better than that, don’t you babe Oh, you know better than that, don’t you babe
7.
Hey won’t you come on over here I miss you babe You can tell me what you want but we don’t need to speak Go walking in the park or lie out on the sheets If it's cool with you, it’s cool with me I been working on myself to keep my mind at bay And you been working on your health to keep the dark away And I hope it all works out Cause we both deserve a break But I swear things get better every day Have you seen The world around you babe I saw it just the other day The ghosts of all our yesterdays They don’t mean a thing Cause ever since you came around Everything is easy now and everything is free I’m not quite the hero that I’d like to be And I’m still pretty sad though I try not to be But you don’t give a damn, you think I’m pretty sweet And I think that’s the coolest thing Have you seen The world around you babe I saw it just the other day The ghosts of all our yesterdays They don’t mean a thing Cause ever since you came around Everything is easy now and everything is free No nothings what it used to be Thanks a lot for everything I’m so glad you came I wake to find that nothing's quite what it had seemed And I’ve seen it all before, but it’s brand new to me So lean into your cheek, close my eyes and sleep What a world I never thought I’d live to see

Matchbox 05:16
When I was a kid I lived inside my head Never met anyone or anyone's friends I lived all alone in a matchbox I kept Under my pillow where nobody went When I turned fifteen I went over the edge Started to write and cut open my skin Never too loud I sang out as I bled Quiet and proud without making a mess When I was nineteen I learned just what it meant To suffer and ache at another mans hand And I carry that night like a hole in my head Easy to live with but hard to forget When I was like twenty and nothing made sense I fell down the staircase and into your hands You carried me home and you put me to bed Gave it away, didn’t ask for it back Now I live all alone inside your chest Miles away from you in a bedroom I rent But after I come home and everything ends It’s just me and you and the matchbox I kept

about

Talitha Ferri's debut album “Get Well Soon”, is a fragile yet courageous revelation of transformation and self-healing. Nothing is kept secret, as Ferri’s soul is laid bare in a gentle and earnest embodiment of what it means to get better, and every tender step it takes to get there.

Ferri delivers comforting yet disquieting melodies that fearlessly intone our life-changing experiences. “Get Well Soon” is a personal project turned concept album, an account of the internal struggle, rejoicing in its release.
