I wish I could take all of my pain and your pain and mash it into some clay and make us something beautiful
So then we could both see the magnificence of us even in tragedy
Darling I lived so many lives just in this life
I shed this skin everyday
I begin again and again
Move away just to find more pain and joy
Find you and lose myself
Care so much I wanna burst all over the place
Maybe then you would truly see my brilliance
But your attention never stays
So I reach within myself and I find gold
It's mangled and not the prettiest thing to look at
But it's there shining within me
Can you see it?
It's ok if you can't because right now I can see it
You don't have to see me
I see me
I have lost myself so many times
Just to hug this body and say, "I love you."
Even if no one else has said it lately to you,
I love you
Even if you don't love me

I love you so much
Why don't we just trust?
Just breathe

I don't know what's best
Tend to second guess
The other day I was depressed
Today I'm indifferent
Is it hormones or the oppressive system?
These ebbs and flows I get towed into willingly or unwillingly
Tell me when are we gonna stop the swell of capitalism?
Are y'all fed up yet?
Waking up just to pay for another day
Put my body up for sale in the form of labor
Work until I'm tired
It's hard to remember the people have power waiting for the next paycheck
As life keeps testing
And corporations keep manipulating
Making the numbers go down just to go up again
The trickery of these schemes and scams
Born into this materialistic wasteland
Trying my best to get out
But there are too many trapped and I want us all to be free
Not just me
So many drowning we all just want to breathe
Reminding myself to take it easy and remember I'm not alone
It's okay if we don't have it all figured out
It's okay if all I can do right now is try to get by
It shouldn't be like this
But we're gonna change it
Never feels fast enough but I have trust
Valore

Sometimes I feel like dying
But I keep on trying to make things better
It has to get better
Could you help us make it better?
