Fall To Pieces

One should never rely
On hopeful conversations 
Though here I am 
Talking to myself again
And every night 
I dream of who you're kissing
I never cry
Though feel the pain within

Within

They say you're born as a sinner
Let me in and lay hands on you
Wash you clean of the sins
That we gave you

Oooo my mama tried

Mama Tried

Welcome home to the ghettos where it's all the same 
Damn way as you left them when you were taken away
Hope is always shy but now you're back so have a drink 
Day by day and bottle by bottle

There are children at the border ripped away from their mothers 
While you sit here and you wonder how you gonna spend your dollars
They don't steal, they don't rape, they don't even know the day 
They just want to feel safe

Those our sisters and our mothers so don’t you fuckin' touch them 
There is a beauty in a fire but would you bathe in the flame
They don't need no drunk brother to put their hands upon them
Back on down, shut your mouth, then go get up and on your way

Living in America

Call the police on a black man standing there just doing nothing 
But you can not be too safe because he is different from me
Squeeze the trigger, pass the blame, but don't you worry you'll be Saved and get away

You got the captain of the ship drunk on power, telling stories
Tweeting like a little birdie but he’s sorely out of key
Though we're young so let's party, talk about it in the morning when We've had just a little more time to drink

Living in America

The Call

Before I send out this request
While I'm in the flesh with you
Let’s carry on random conversations
From politics to your tattoos

You say you have so many people 
Who follow everything you do
MUA, singer, dancer
Didn't know you were an actress too

And though I choose not follow
I’ve still kept up with you
Though you must have turned off your notifications
Cause you’re missing all my cues

Yes, we’re just ordinary people
Just a bunch of me's and you's
Living out our small adventures
For the likes and the views

I think that we should fly together 
To any country that you choose
String up lights in the backyard
Have all our friends bring exquisite foods

People say that we're handsome 
We're funny, oh and smooth
No need to buy promotions
When you're paid to be half nude

Now we're just living wild and free, girl 
Featured first on the social zoo
Cause you're the Leo to my Virgo 
Short of that we’re pretty apes too

Cause we’re just ordinary people
Yes we’re sinners and we’re saints
We all just want to be level
With someone whom we feel safe

Pretty Apes

The Time I Tried

The Worst Of Myself

I'm just trying to pick up the pieces 
Rearrange my mental health 
I'm just trying to keep on keeping 
Just to try something else 

This is different 
Is this good? 
I can't keep living 
With The worst of myself 

I stopped searching for loving 
Cause Id rather love myself 
To be kind to another 
Would that make me someone else 

That is different 
That is good 
Somebody gentle 
With the worst of myself 

Ahhhh 

I can see what you were seeing 
Why you ran to someone else 
I can feel how you were treated 
I can hear your cries for help 

I'll be different 
I'll be good 
I can work on 
The worst of myself

The Worst Of Myself

Lightning In A Bottle

Try to remember
But my feelings can't know for sure
Tried to reach out
But it's gone
Lucky stars in your eyes
I am walking the cow
I really don't know how I came here
I really don't know why I'm staying here
Oh, oh, oh
I am walking the cow
Tried to point my finger
But the wind was blowing me around
In circles
Circles
Lucky stars in your eyes
I am walking the cow
I really don't know what I have to fear
I really don't know what I have to care
Oh, oh, oh
I am walking the cow
