Hurt People / Hurt

I remember the first time
I realized that pain
Was a feeling
That others felt
And my heart swelled
The birth of my compassion
I remember the time
I realized that color
Was a thing we graded
Other people on
My heart broke
Knowing we were all the same
And I began a journey
Of living with the pain
Knowing we separate
But we are not seperate
Trying to rationalize
How we hurt each other
I remember the first time
I questioned war
These people we kill
Are people like ourselves
And my heart broke
Knowing it aint justified
I remember the first time
I questioned my diet
These things that I kill
Feel hurt and pain
And my heart broke
Knowing we suffer the same
One more step
On a journey
Of living with the pain
Knowing we separate
Trying to rationalize how we hurt the things around us
How we grade suffering
On a scale of likeness
And stop our humanity
Where we feel it's appropriate
But the markers shift
And its totally fucking relative
So I decided to live
In a way that sees pain
As something that
We all can feel
And accept difference
As a known quantity
And know that difference
Doesn't erase ability
To feel hurt
Due to survive
And accept all living beings
As living beings
That want to thrive
That want to live
That deserve respect
That want to grow
That deserve to be treated
Like we treat ourselves

Me / Codependency

It's so easy for me to
Give my time to others without concern
Without regard for myself
Just to feel like I'm helping out
But I gotta choose
I gotta choose
I gotta choose me in this world
I gotta choose
I gotta choose
I gotta choose me in this world
Cuz I know that willingness
Comes from a fear love will disappear if I say no
But I gotta choose
I've gotta choose
I've gotta choose me in this world
I've gotta choose
I've gotta choose
I've gotta choose me in this world
And if I don't look out for myself
It always reaches a point where I'm worn thin
Overstretched
And overrun
With no one looking out for me
And I start to resent the situation
I did it to myself
In the hope of keeping love
At the expense
Of the love I should be showing myself
So I gotta choose
I gotta choose
I gotta choose me in this world
So I gotta choose
I gotta choose
I gotta choose me in this world
And if I choose me
And put myself at the same level I do for others
I can let myself rest
I can let myself feel love
I can advocate for things that I feel
Instead of operating from the fear
And then when I need help
It comes from a more solid place
Rather than a place of fear
And then I can finally say
I have a place for me in this world
A place of acceptance
For myself
A place to build love
And send it through
A place to call safe
For myself
A place for me in this world

You / Me

Go!
It gets hard to see
The difference in
The way you talk
Between your love and your hate for me
And so we cycle
Between the good
In this cycle
Into the worst
And we cycle
Between love and hate
Tell me where will we land today?
You could check yourself
Realize it a problem
Or you could keep throwing
Everything at me
And so we cycle
Between the good
In this cycle
Into the worst
And we cycle
Between love and hate
Tell me where will we land today?
Until I'm broken
Just a pile of ashes
On the doorstep
Of an escalator
That runs between
Hell and hell on earth
Regret and Battery
If I find a way to leave
I'm never coming back
And break this cycle
Between the good
In this cycle
Into the worst
And we cycle
Between love and hate
Tell me where will we land today?
Where will we land?
Where will we land today?
And will I leave?
Will I leave today?
Where will we land?
Where will we land today?
Will I leave today?

Death / Life

We show up every night with a little spark
You're gonna keep it lit inside you
Clanging pans and feeding hearts
You're gonna keep it inside you
And it's contagious
The light you bring
Shining over everything
You feed them well
You feed them all
They try to give you a reason to quit
You keep giving them a reason to live
And it's a balance between head and heart
You keep the balance between light and dark
And as you're closing and the night comes to an end
You know the best things are just about to begin
You feed them well
So very well
And every night seems to end the same
Counting up what you earned that day
Trying to find some solid piece of mind
Of what the cost is to you
You feed them well
So very well
You feed them all
You feed them all
One day you didn't show for shift
And it wasn't like you to ever miss
They called your phone
Stopped by your house
They feared the worst
They feared your loss
But you were driving down to the beach
The sun accentuating your light for all to see
Work ain't life
And this aint death
