Hides her face in every photograph and lets the voice do all of it

Honest use case: people who find solace in secret, personal escapes from daily pressures.

Exhibit: “My sister asked me why my hair was wet on Sunday morning / I said I'd had a shower. She said nothing. That was warning.”

lyrics

The pool behind the leisure centre closes down at ten
And I know the gap in the fence because I've used it forty times
And I float there in my work clothes till I'm somebody again
And nobody has ever asked me where I go at night

And the water doesn't want anything from me
And that's the only place that's true

I'm at the deep end and the deep end is the only place I rest
I'm the coat on the tiles and the shoes beside the ladder
I have held it all day, I have held it in my chest
And out here it doesn't matter and I love that it doesn't matter

My sister asked me why my hair was wet on Sunday morning
I said I'd had a shower. She said nothing. That was warning.

I'm at the deep end and the deep end is the only place I rest
I'm the coat on the tiles and the shoes beside the ladder
I have held it all day, I have held it in my chest
And out here it doesn't matter and I love that it doesn't matter

(it doesn't matter)
