about

This song is about authenticity.

lyrics

White breath tracks, most the orange still intact,
How anger and the past love to cling
I’ve walked these streets the cracked concrete, wind through the twigs,
Trying to hear the beauty in the way a pigeon sings

It’s easy to love, it’s hard to be loved

When the night sky opens just right,
Feels like there’s no such thing as dying,
You’re in my arms
Chest rising like a calming tide
Crawling, floating, overwhelmed,

We can keep them down, mute the sounds
Still old tears always find a way to tip toe out,
There’s this Baldwin quote, all the truth he wrote,
“not everything faced can be changed,
but nothing changes till it’s faced.”

It’s easy to love, it’s hard to be loved


stars pasted to the ceiling,
Cracks are patched to immaculate walls
Since seeing is believing, we all stick to our deceiving,
Thinking no one could want us if they saw,
Cause I feel so many things this world keeps telling me are wrong

It’s easy to love, it’s hard to be loved

When the night sky opens just right,
Feels like I’d never want to die again,
I’ll try and be here,
and I pray you’re patient, love I’m lonely too,
crawling, floating, overwhelmed.
