about

Week 22 - Human
I'm writing, recording, and releasing a song a week for a year. I hope it finds you somewhere along the way :)

lyrics

I need to focus on myself, but not too much, for that would be selfish
I should be confident with who I am, but not too much, for that would be cocky
I should be more humble, but not too much, for that reverse pride is just as egocentric as pride itself
There's a line straight down the center and we all weave back and forth like a double helix
And what could describe the human experience any better than that

A hug or a hustle, in time a good mind fades
The fear of overgrowth under appreciates the lives tied up with your self-sufficient straddle
Untied or unraveled, too bright to battle your own indecision
What's next is to follow the work done for no one but those who come first
As you lay down in dirt, don't forget to keep clinging to unquenchable thirst

I've been trying to learn more about what I am
On a psychological and a philosophical level
But I don't believe one can think or educate themselves into their own identity
The majority of that comes from within
Life comes from within

Fear the past you present, the future endeavor
What's not yet loved or the words left over
Black hearts don't give, mild eyes won't wallow
Abandon regrets in the gleams of tomorrow
