lyrics

[Verse 1]
Packed my baggage filled a new flat in Los Angeles
with succulents and a brand new guitar
Set the scene between Hollywood and Sunset
Told my demons they could wait in the car

[Pre 1]
Now what? I'm still buying Chinese takeout
In a different state but feeling the same
So what? Moving doesn't mean arriving
the same old doubts are crowding my brain

[Chorus]
It's time to unpack
It's time to unpack
I need to release all these expectations
It's time to unpack it all

[Post]
And re-paint this Russian Doll x2

[Verse 2]
Spilling open, out of use not broken
Haven't spoken to these younger me's in so so long
Wearing hard lines, colored by the dark times
Couldn't see the starlight so blinded by tongues

[Pre 2]
Now what? Do I make of all these faces
In a different state but feeling the same
So what? Feels like seven different voices
Trapped inside of me all silenced by shame, so

[Chorus]
It's time to unpack
It's time to unpack
I need to release all these expectations
It's time to unpack it all

[Bridge]
Day by day, bringing color back to each face
Little by little, line by line
Painting my truth over these lies
Now I’m mine

Day by day, bringing color back to each face
Little by little, line by line
Painting my truth over these lies
Now I’m mine

Day by day, bringing color back to each face
Little by little, line by line
Painting my truth over these lies
Now it’s time

[Chorus]
It's time to unpack
It's time to unpack
I need to release all these expectations
It's time to unpack it all

[Outro]
And re-paint this Russian Doll x4
