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

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?
