lyrics

What is essential
That I remain me
Or that people agree
With the person I show them
Can it be both
Where do I go
When nobody gets it
Into the forest
Thoreau, though thorough
It neglected
What could be done
When I’m more than expected
How do I teach you my language
When no one before me expressed it
Using the same words
Is all I have
Signaling back to the home I invented
What I have witnessed
Is people too busy with sin of their own
To go without incident
Giving no credit to life on my planet
Keeps us at a distance
Shying away is a violence equivalent
Social anxiety warns that
We’re failing our mission
Conditions, always the culprit of people
Who live in the shadow of
Power delivered by external systems
Aren’t you sickened
Then why continue to lie
In a bed that you didn’t make
Giving restrictions
To everything that you have ever loved
Limiting skill and the incoming visions
Of children
It’s wicked, convincing
Conditioning will have you stand and stare
While I pour out my heart
And you’re not even blinking
People are crying alone
And then smile when everyone’s drinking
Nature is here and it’s nurturing
All of the wounds we’re bleeding from
Go to the limit of where thought
Is imminent, pushing beyond
If you want to get anything done
Of substantial quality
Your comfort zones

Are poisoning
I will not sit
On bridges to greatness
I’m going, I’m going, I’m going

I accept myself for who I am
I accept that I am different
And I understand
All the brightest stars
Were shining far ahead of their time
High above
I love who I’m becoming

Hiding who we are
Ain’t so comfortable
Why stay quiet trying
To always fit in
Take that chance
Say how you feel
We’ll find commonplace
Place when we are real

My favourite track is changing day to day, different lyrics speaking to me in different moments. But this album has been on repeat since I got it. This stunningly beautiful music is my soundtrack to my yoga practice, cooking, working, I'm singing these in the shower. Not many albums do this to me. Thank you Beautiful Chorus! <3 Jennifer Snowdon
