Meltdown

This track is about the juxtaposing voices that constantly play in our heads (or at least mine). One, the voice of reason and truth, the other, the voice of anxiety and negativity.

-Lyrics-
I know, if my star sign is true,
I'll be caught again overthinking biting my tongue
I know, I can't rely on you.
Maslow's, steps got me trippin' foot,
cortisol coaster can't seem to find a balance at all,
I think it's time, for a reboot.

I know, if father time speaks truth
time will catch us all in his grand illusion
I know, it's all relative to you
Tell my, friends not to go to hell,
but they all think they've been there and done that before
I know, perspective's only real to you.

Chorus-
I've got no words to say what's on my mind.
But I can't break through this static, all the time.
You've got the lies that'll get to me
Got me soft spoken over thinking biting my tongue
I need the lines that'll set me free
So soft spoken oh.

BRIDGE-
It's hidden in the noise, the crinkle and crackle all around coloring the sounds of truth with the hiss and hum of doubt and uncertainty. It fills the sonic spac e with static so that I can't hear the voice, the beautiful voice, singing the song behind the noise.

I'm Over Thinking

This song is my wish and advice for my child/ future children. It is also my sincere wish of anyone who listens. Listen to the wisdom of Uncle Iroh, and Know what you want, and look for it.

LYRICS

-Verse 1-
I'm not gonna pretend that I know-it-all,
doing that would be a lie for us both,
to say I want the best for you is not saying enough,
and every time I look at you I want to give you it all.
Gotta take some time to channel, some Uncle Iroh

-Chorus-
There's lots of things I want you to know.
Oh so many lessons left to show.
But most importantly wherever you go,
remember you'll find whatever you're looking for.
So know,
what you want,
and look for it.

-Verse 2-
So take some time to smell the roses as you go,
cause life's an adventure so take your chances,
and learn more so you can do more.
and always judge slowly and always care deeply and always remember be true,
cause everything's a balance and there's always something you can't see, hidden from view.
And always take some time to, listen to Uncle Iroh

-Bridge-
If you look in the the dark you'll find your shadows, if you look in the light you'll find the sun, you may have to make some sacrifices,
but wherever you look for I'm sure you'll find,
so know, what you want, and look for it.


And always take some time to, listen to Uncle Iroh.
