Step 1. Transcribe the following excerpt from the song “Alive” by Sia.

I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go

Where the wind don’t change

And

nothing in the ground can ever grow

No hope, just lies

And you’re taught to cry into your pillow

reason, you will have to send me the audio of your reading)
