Ever since I was a kid
On the backs of my two eyelids
I hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from
who knows where
Walkie talkie on a mission
Roger roger will I listen
Or will I just pass it along
No form of a sing a long
When muse annoys
devoid and null
I feel a tingle in my skull
Like ticker tape the words
appear
There's a parade between
my ears
I preach self love
I know it's true
It's easier to say than do
I send the messages to you
But now I need to
hear them too
I am beautiful I am powerful
I am strong and I am loveable
I am beautiful I am powerful
I am strong and I am loveable
I was laying bricks in a line
Yap full of dog toy
Picturing a life beyond that
of a protocol droid
Bleep bloop boy ox
boycott pea soup
First learn to eat pain
at St. Peter's preschool yum
Now that's a painkiller
I can speak through
Airbrush letters on a
pristine gene pool
See my mother said
her father drew a ton
But all his cartoons had been
swallowed by the
Susquehanna flood
in '72
The end he would
subsequently pass
I know he had a stroke
but I assume
that's only half
But now I'm signing up for
finger drawing class
in a tux like
a gentleman
Marrying his ash to his dust
Last on the kickball team
draft pick list
First to the King Kullen
practicing his kickflips
I'd like to say it's
'cause I was a rebel
Truthfully it's easier to say
oh hell instead of hello
Hi you need to get out more
I dunno I don't wanna be there
when the geometry domino
You need to get out more
Maybe or maybe his pace
is better suited for pacing
You need to get out more
Never I am nailed to the floor
I am snail under pressure
You need to get out more
Fine
Ever since I was a kid
On the backs of my
two eyelids
I hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from
who knows where
And this is why
when I'm on stage
My eyes are closed
I'm in a haze
It looks like I'm made
out of clay
I'm overwhelmed and
under glazed
I'm making vases out
of snakes
I'm a kiln half
full of mistakes
When kneading it
air's overlooked
It's gonna crack
when it gets cooked
So self forgiveness
is the key
They're re sculpting
my sanity
Mindfulness humility
And taking time to care for me
I preach self love
I know it's true
It's easier to say than do
I sing these messages to you
But now I need to hear
them too
I am beautiful I am powerful
I am strong and
I am loveable
I am beautiful I am powerful
I am strong and
I am loveable
I was laying bricks in a line
Yap full of copper top
Picturing a life beyond that
of a dish washer
Pot buzz ping
Criss crossed arms
in a tub ring
Learned heartbreak on a
Zelda 1 sub screen numb
Learned dark days by the
scent of poached dove meat
Some part ways and
it's fugly
Maybe the sum of the
parts became lesser
That each individually
making the same gesture
And you don't wanna
interrupt the overlapping
network
So you throw a bag together
and elope with cabin pressure
To disappear instead
of interfere with nutty customs
And differing definitions
of liberty and justice
Big dummy dig a hole
in the dirt
He put his head in the hole
he is alone in this world
And dying slowly from
the comfort of his home
full of worms
Until you hear
a little voice say
yo let's go get dessert
Wait what
You need to get out more
I dunno over 2 million
dead bats in NY alone
You need to get out more
Maybe maybe not
Maybe I should stay back
and survey the lot
You need to get out more
Never I am nailed to the floor
in a jail made of deserts
You need to get out more OK
