Intro
If Time is my Father
and Earth is my Mother
I am a child
of Lightening and Thunder
They told me to listen
To breathe in for health
For the love of yourself...
Weight
Weight on my shoulder
Gettin' older
I can see it in the mirror
Hate makes you colder
It's what I told her
Just surrender to your fears
Father Time keep on pressin' me, pressin' me down
Mother Earth keeps on blessin' me now
Father Time keep on pressin' me, pressin' me down
Mother Earth keeps on blessin' me now
Rain go away, I'm gon' stay
In the basement of my house
Pain wants to play
Make it fade
You don't wanna let it out
Father Time keep on pressin' me, pressin' me down
Mother Earth keeps on blessin' me now
Father Time keep on pressin' me, pressin' me down
Mother Earth keeps on blessin' me now
PLANET
Oh little green and blue planet
We call home
We are the pioneers who stabbed you in the back
And chewed your bones...
I kinda wrestle the feeling
I see how it is appealing to
Get rid of all of your plastic
When someone offers a straw refuse
I can't keep up with your reasons
I leave it up to the seasons
I can't relax when you're breathin'
Your carbon is always seething
x2
You wanted to save the planet
You thought that it would be easy to
Say "Hey! Let's all eat organic,
I'm going shopping at the Whole Foods"
Your daddy bought you a hybrid
You drove it out to your private school
But people out there still waiting for
Their 40 acres and a mule...
So when you posted a picture
On top a mountain in Peru
Out on a mission to save but
The plane's emissions were all for you
I can't keep up with your reasons
I leave it up to the seasons
I can't relax when you're breathin'
Your carbon is always seething
x2
Beautiful Girl
Beautiful girl
Why are you crying
You’ve got the world
What are you fighting
Is it your man
The touch of his hand
On your body at night
Doesn’t feel right
Beautiful girl
What did they tell you
To give you such doubt
What did they sell you
Your body is not
What you were taught
They’re taking your power
With every last dollar
So throw down your hair
Let them all stare
Beautiful girl
Now that we have all been deceived
Into buying their social currency
You can wait for your hour in the sun
Or til your 15 are done
For Better or Worse
We were tough and twisted
So entrenched we missed it
What the others saw from miles away
Parallel our voices
Using all our vices
To deflect from what was clear as day
Then I heard you say
"I love you for better or for worse
And it's still good even when it hurts
And I'll kiss you like the sky is falling down
Cause I don't know how long you'll be around"
You could be my baby
But we both said maybe
Cause I'd like to see what else is goin' on
Then we hit the city
We went New York crazy
Kept the lovin' going all night long
Yeah, got me singin' baby
"I love you for better or for worse
And it's still good even when it hurts
And I'll kiss you like the sky is falling down
Cause I don't know how long you'll be around"
As the years pass by
I can't deny
I'm better when you're by my side
Oh by my side yeah
Reel Life
If I was living on the screen
I’d live like a queen
I’d make a dollar every time someone screamed my name
Will you ever grow up
When will you give a fuck
No life isn’t Hollywood so baby buck up
This is real life
I see how the picture’s painted
Watch the reel in real time
x2
A bunch of people in their 20’s
A familiar cast
The cue card dropped and I couldn’t read that fast
It’s like I’m living in a movie
What’s the next line
Oh I’ve seen this one before about a hundred times
Is this real life?
I see how the picture’s painted
Watch the reel in real time
This is real life
It’s all about how you frame it
In your mind
I know I’m not that much to look at
The physical parts are not my kind
I’ll do the music yeah I like that
But it’s on my mind
All the time
On my mind
Would they put me in a drama
Let me lead my own scene
Oh I’m no Meryl Streep but I can play the part of grief
Or will they put me in a horror
Bruce Campbell style
Like the ones you laugh at
I’m the one you laugh at
Is this real life?
I see how the movie is made and
I want my money back
Is this real life
I see how the picture is painted
Watch the reel in real time
Pressure
Close your eyes
Go back in time
When you were mine
You were mine
All you could see
Was the good in me
Your love came free
And willingly
How many times will we
see the signs but we just
Close our eyes
Just to sleep at night
When hard times come
We should never run
We’re not done
We’ve just begun
How many times will I
Realize I got to
Read between the lines
Between the lines
Here’s some pressure for ya
Pressure for ya
Pressure for ya
Nothing’s Wrong
Sometimes I really think I hate myself
Sometimes I wish I was somebody else
But tonight I’m singing all of my favorite songs
And baby nothing’s wrong
Comparison stealing all the joy from me
How quick we give in to the negativity
I cried when I realized I was good enough all along
Baby nothing’s wrong
I tried to fight it way too long
And I’m tired of this feeling
Holding on yeah cause
Baby nothing’s wrong
These days I really think I found the key
Time is more valuable than money
I finally realized I was rich enough all along
And baby nothing’s wrong
I tried to fight it way too long
And I’m tired of this feeling
Holding on yeah cause
Baby nothing’s wrong
Just take your time
you’ve got your
Whole life to define your ego
The hardest part is to be kind and
Find yourself some peace of mind
Oh I kick myself
Better than anybody else
Do what you want but I say it for my health I say:
Baby nothing’s wrong
I tried to fight it way too long
And I’m tired of this feeling
Holding on yeah cause
Baby nothing’s wrong
Human
I believe in people as a kind of idea
They can do no wrong
You don’t choose the music
You just sing along
And it hurts sometimes
Just the way I like it
Oh and we cry sometimes
Don’t try to fight it
Oh and it’s hard sometimes
I can’t deny it
And it hurt sometimes
Just the way I like it
Did you choose your anger?
Is it who you are?
Was your father hard and maybe
You just didn’t get along
And you’re grown up now
But you’re singing your father’s song
And you thought you’d change but it just turned out all wrong
And it hurts sometimes
Just the way I like it
Oh and we cry sometimes
Don’t try to fight it
Oh and it’s hard sometimes
I can’t deny it
And it hurt sometimes
Just the way I like it
To be human
Is to see you man
Say you didn’t choose this no
I know you didn’t choose this
Images are blowing up my line
Where I used to get calls is
Now a stream of well positioned lies
And the filter makes it hard to see your eyes
And the truth is getting harder and harder to find
And it hurts sometimes
Just the way I like it
Oh and we cry sometimes
Don’t try to fight it
Oh and it’s hard sometimes
I can’t deny it
And it hurt sometimes
Just the way I like it
To be human
Is to see you man
Say you didn’t choose it
I didn’t choose this X2
Close to You
Hold each other
I wanna feel close to you
Love one another
Why’s that so hard to do
Of all the lessons that I have learned
None of your judgement is ever really earned
Hold each other
I wanna feel close to you
Love one another
Why’s that so hard to do
Of all the answers that I could find
I’m still out there looking for a sign
Hold each other
I wanna feel close to you
Love one another
Why’s that so hard to do
Of all the lessons that I have learned
None of your judgement is ever really earned
Hold each other
I wanna feel close to you
Love one another
Why’s that so hard to do?
