Elle Thee Lion - Enough (Paula's Interlude) Lyrics

The only thing that's keeping you
From getting you
What you want
Is the story you keep telling you
If you change
Everything you say to you
Everything you say and do
Will change for you

The only thing you can change
When you can't change where you're at
Perspective on what you have
And how you think what's good is bad
When sometimes good is just what's familiar
Comfort to a fool like clouds lined with silver
Sometimes the things you think that are bad
Are really good things you never had
And what is truly valuable
Is how you know which way to go
How you know which do's are don'ts
And how you find the will to won't
Stay within your comfort zone
Be your own detective, inspector of conceptions
That misdirect the senses and critical deceptions
You believe was senseless
But you still accepted
And if you accepted
Then you can reject it

Your mistakes are only a reflection
Of who you were
And they are not directions
To where you're headed
You can still go everywhere you want to go
And no where they expected

Your mistakes are only a reflection
Of who you were
And they are not directions
To where you're headed
You can still be everything you want to be
And nothing they expected

For too long
You put their feelings
About you
Before your feelings
About yourself
These feelings
Became thoughts
And they dwelled
These feelings
They got caught
And they swelled
And these feelings
They flow
Right over your wellness
No, you are not well
Yes

You are up the creek without a paddle
No paddle, and you're up the creek
And they herded you from cattle
Cause you acted like a sheep
Someone who is strong
But acts like they are weak
Even when they're wronged
Allowing them to speak
Following along
Pretending to be
Someone who they're not
Someone happy

You put yourself down
To bring others up
You pour into them
Till you emptied your cup
And now you're so thirsty
Deserted by love
Somehow you're still drowning
Don't feel
Like enough

You are more than a dysregulated nervous system rooted in unhealed trauma
This is how many stay reeling in drama
Thought you was a period
You're really a comma
The best is yet to come
Should really be your mantra
Thing you need to tell yourself
Is what you tell your daughter
Your son, or your sister, or your mother, or your father

Heal Ancestral Trauma

Scars on the pretty things
Put away the petty things
I'm letting go of anything
That keeps me from discovering
I am less than everything
The world has left to offer

I am enough in the skin I am in
I am enough in the skin I am in
I am enough in the skin I am in
And everything I want in this life I can win
I am the master of my mind
The alchemist is I
And I decide to define how I live by my design

I am enough in the skin I am in
I am enough in the skin I am in
I am enough in the skin I am in
And everything I want in this life I can win
I am the master of my mind
The alchemist is I
And I decide to define how I live by my design

I am enough
I am enough
I am enough

And so
The only thing that's keeping you
From getting you
What you want
Is the story you keep telling you
If you change
Everything you say to you
Everything you say and do
Will change for you
