I kept it sealed
Behind my teeth
A paper prayer
A folded need
You saw the strain
In my face
But I stayed still
In my place
I knew your hand
Was reaching near
I let it pass
I held my fear
The help I never asked
The help I never asked
I needed saving
I wanted less
The help I never asked
The help I never asked
You came so close
I missed the rest
I carried weight
Like it was mine
Bruised quiet hours
One by one in line
I said I'm fine
Too many times
And let that lie
Become my spine
If I had bowed
If I had broke
Maybe your kindness
Would have spoke
The help I never asked
The help I never asked
I needed saving
I wanted less
The help I never asked
The help I never asked
You came so close
I missed the rest
Now I can name
What I denied
A shaking door
A locked inside
If you still reach
I'll let you in
This time I won't
Call it sin
The help I never asked
The help I never asked
I needed saving
I wanted less
The help I never asked
The help I never asked
I open my hands
At last, at last

I Almost Heard Myself
Ydessa Vorn
In this first album, words that could never be voiced throughout life are transformed one by one into quiet songs.
Wrapped in piano, strings, choir-like voices, and deep reverberation, the album portrays them as emotions left behind in silence.
