about

Written about a lovely party in March 2019.

lyrics

People make me uneasy, we are not human. 
Am I the villain of this story?
I am so faint and outside my body, I have never handled the hot sun well. 
My room will be a black hole, I haven’t been home all weekend.        
All the fire in my tank has been given to other people emotions.

I’ll always be ready to leap into cold water to you,
Walking in the dark, my fingers burn.                     
Ashes in my eyes.
I look over my shoulder and squeeze your hand.
This land is apart of me, and all I've got is these 12 notes.
And how you all show me the world.

Oh I’m all I’ve got 
I’m all I’ve got 
Hello brother, we are all either of us will have.             
We are the change we want to see.
I’ll be brave as long you mirror, are not a stranger to me 

I have compassion exhaustion and cuts on my hands from opening bottles,
You said: I want to remember every time you looked into my green eyes that night. 
It makes me cry when I should smile.       

Oh I’m all I’ve got                                
Hello brother, we are all either of us will have.
We are the change we want to see.
I’ll be brave as long you mirror, are not a stranger to me    

Oh we are all I’ve got
we are all I’ve got          
Hello brother
Hello brother
It makes me cry when I should smile
