	the "i" makes fun of me, she hates when i reach out for the light push up my boundaries, when I can't put up a fight this heart don't lie, she tells it right homebound, know that you are safe with me stay around, home in this body i know it's been a while, wondering how you're even doing, or why you forced a smile – embarrassed that I don't know can't place your chores in hands that aren't yours homebound, know that you are safe with me stay around, home in this body home in the body are we...? i'll wait till safety shows home in this body find ways to take things slow slow... the "i" makes fun of me she hates when i reach out for the light push up my boundaries, i can't put up a fight homebound, know that you are safe with me stay around, home in this body homebound, i find room to make my home give me room, living room.

about

Hey, world... meet mreens.

A singer/songwriter and producer/musician, born in Raleigh, North Carolina and currently living in Portland, Oregon – making her official debut here with the single, "living room."

"when I sat down to create 'living room,' it was one of those songs that wrote itself in an hour with no plan and no idea what I was talking about. then a year later, it comforted me when I needed it most…which is kinda freaky lol. to be able to share this song means so much – a story about finding home and safety in one’s mind and body. I feel so lucky that I get to make little mreens’ dreams come true, releasing music as a producer, singer, songwriter… I hope this song brings you some peace as it did for me 🥹🌊💓🥰"
