Double Sided

Putting on my faces
My mask is never slipping so I do apologize if me you don't know
Experience erases
Any one desire I might have to stoke the fire
No I won't show how I feel about you
I know too much about you
I see the malice in your eyes
I know your words wear a disguise
Rolling up my paper
I think about the world that held me down and made no favors
It's getting to the point where I can taste but cannot savor
Hmm

Then Mother said
There's beauty everywhere
Much more that I can share
Just think about me when you're lifted up high
There's beauty everywhere
Much more that I can share
Just think about me when you've lifted and fly

Recycling the trauma
Empty out the pharmacy cause daddy couldn't teach me how to move on
Initiate the drama
And you will never hear from me I taught myself to seek the peace that I want
But I'm so fucking tired
Everybody is so wired
To chase away the good they know
To spread the shame and guilt they hold
Our culture is abrasive
Oppression has a root in every corner getting bigger as the day grows
Everyone's dismissive
Of everybody else's pain as if we don't come from the same material
Now the strings are colored
Puppet masters getting bolder
I'm wondering how things will go when our beaches are all dry and cold

Then Mother said
There's beauty everywhere
Much more that I can share
Just think about me when you're lifted up high
There's beauty everywhere
Much more that I can share
Just think about me when you've lifted and fly
There's beauty everywhere
Much more that I can share
Just think about me when you're lifted up high
There's beauty everywhere
Much more that I can share
Just know that everything will be alright
