Lyrics:

one, two, buckle my bra
three, four, break the law
five, six, light up cancer sticks
seven, eight, everything's fixed.

(Intro to Woke Up) One, two, buckle my bra

Lyrics:

No point in bringing up
Raw
Skin
It’s already sunken
The ships been manned
Storm after storm
Yet she keeps on sailing through for more
 
It’s already sunken
Nooooo!
No
point
in
stop-ping.
 
She defends
He'd never do her wrong
No matter
She knows it all
Hes her baby.
 
Everyone else can poke her push her stab her and she'll fight them back
 but lover can't bite cuz love is day and night true or false she takes it all.
 
What are you going to do now
Water you going to do now
Sea water on open wounds
Will never numb
Pain til it’s done

It’s already sunken
Nooooo!
No
point
in
stop-ping.

Lyrics:

Blank space
You'd rather stare into
Blank space
Instead of into my eyes

Numb to the hurricane
Numb to the wine stains

Blank tapes
You'd rather listen to
Blank tapes
Instead of hearing my cries

Lyrics:

I don't feel love anymore
I don't feel anything anymore
Here
Now.
 
Rearrange my words
So you hear what you like.
Rearrange history
Hide
In time.
 
I am numb
Can't leave you
Here
Now.
I am numb
Frozen
Your warmth
Is gone.
 
Draw a time machine
So we'll relive
Happy memories
Time machine makes no difference
Can't hide
In time.

Lyrics:

Playing music makes me feel inadequate
I should quit
When trained musicians listen to me
I feel amateur
Not enough technique
I’m not unique

Playing music makes me feel inadequate
I should quit
When I ask my friends to listen to me play
I feel needy
Sometimes their reactions seem so forced
And so fake
No one cares they felt nothing
So why
Do I pretend
Music is my thing
I suck at it
I’ll just work a 9 to 5 and feel
Inadequate
Inadequate
Inadequate
Inadequate
I should quit.

Inadequate

Watch the music video on YouTube (https://youtu.be/lRfd_VEoJhY). Welcome to the war people with invisible illnesses have long fought - sickness. This is an angry response to privileged and ableist remarks made during COVID-19 quarantine about: working from home, cooking all their meals, being extra health cautious, and missing out on events.

Check your privilege, wear a mask, and stay home when you can. It is not the job of the sick or high risk to isolate longer than you. #WelcometoOurWar

LYRICS: Welcome to Our War

Verse 1:

Fighting what can’t be seen
Is it you, or is it me?
Is it you, or is it me?

Invisible army
Has us under siege
Has us under siege

Pre-Chorus:

To see if we
Tear each other apart
To see if we
Tear each other apart

To watch our world burn
To watch our world burn

Chorus:

Arm yourself
Not with guns
But by staying home instead
Staying home instead
We don’t know
What is ahead
But please stay at home instead
Stay at home instead

Verse 2:

Invisibly ill
We are the most prepared
We are the most prepared

Been fighting our whole lives
Intruders that can’t be seen
Intruders that can’t be bought

Pre-Chorus 2:

To see if we
Tear ourselves apart
To see if we
Tear ourselves apart

To watch our world burn
To watch our world burn

Chorus 2:

Line 1:

Arm yourself
Not with guns
But by staying home instead
Staying home instead
We don’t know
What is ahead
But please stay at home instead
Stay at home instead

Line 2:

The sickness,
the plague,
attacking able-bodied people
now defined our system as broken,
needing to be fixed
the poor and ill already knew this,
did you listen?

No no, we were asking for too much
No no, we were being beggars
No no, we just need to work harder
or go back to our country
now that your money can’t buy off this intruder

Line 3:

This war isn’t about you
This war is about us
‘Til we think as us
We won’t defeat the enemy

Welcome to Our War

Esta canción es para mi madre y para todas las madres del mundo.

This is for my mom and all the moms of the world.

"Benditas Las Madres" es un huayno peruano que le gusta a mi madre. Es un regalo de mi madre para el Día de la Madre.

I covered a traditional huayno - an Andean and Peruvian folk song - that my mom likes as a gift to her for mother's day.

Benditas Las Madres (Cover of El Jilguero Del Huascarán)
