Official audio for Amythyst Kiah’s new song “Wild Turkey” from the upcoming album, ‘Wary + Strange’. “Wild Turkey” recounts the aftermath of her mother’s drowning in the Tennessee River as well as Kiah’s journey from angry denial to heavy-hearted acceptance. “For a long time, I didn’t understand that when people commit suicide, it’s because they believe the world will be better off without them. I thought my mom did it because she didn’t really love or care about me and my dad, and I interpreted that as being abandoned. Writing this song was a way to make amends with what happened and to recognize that numbing myself wouldn’t work for me in the long run.” - AK Pre-order the album here: found.ee/amythystkiah_warystrange Listen to “Wild Turkey” here: found.ee/AKWildTurkey Follow Me: Website: www.amythystkiah.com Instagram: found.ee/AmythystKiahInstagram Tiktok: found.ee/AmythystKiahTikTok Facebook: found.ee/AmythystKiahFacebook Twitter: found.ee/AmythystKiahTwitter Spotify: found.ee/AmythystKiahSpotify YouTube: found.ee/AmythystKiahYouTube Lyrics: Late at night when I feel alone I cry in darkness scream into the unknown ‘Cause she’s never coming back No, she’s never coming back Body in water for days and days Hopes for a safe return were hopes in vain ‘Cause she’s never coming back No, never coming back When I was seventeen I pretended not to care Stayed numb for years to escape despair When your soul dies You just can't hide it Everyone can tell Oh lord, will I ever feel right again Tried so hard to be an automaton Body of steel and wire circuits for my backbone ‘Cause she’s never coming back No, never coming back Wild Turkey in the car seat The bottle’s empty, I hope it gave her some relief ‘Cause she’s never coming back No, never coming back When I was seventeen I pretended not to care Stayed numb for years to escape despair When your soul dies You just can't hide it Everyone can tell Oh lord, will I ever feel When I was seventeen I pretended not to care Stayed numb for years to escape despair When your soul dies You just can't hide it Everyone can tell Oh lord, will I ever feel Will I ever feel Right again #AmythystKiah #WildTurkey #MusicVideo
