Heal Myself
Sitting here, thinking about my life again And I don't know if I'll be able to write about anything else Cuz there's so much about me
And I can feel the Earth moving beneath me The ants are going about their daily work And the grass is shifting under my weight And the weight of my childhood lies heavily on my chest
So, it's time for me to start telling the truth in my life Stop pretending I don't see or hear anything at all And I heard a poet quote another poet on some summer's day She said we lie with words and silence, too
Chorus: Wake me up from this long lost dream Cuz I've been sleepwalking for most of my life now And I don't know if this Earth can be healed So I'm working really hard to heal myself
And if you think it's getting better, then let me ask you this: What if there were no bitch, no whore, no motherfucker What if it was just fuck you, father? I said, Fuckyoufather
Chorus: Wake me up from this long lost dream Cuz I've been sleepwalking for most of my life now And I don't know if this Earth can be healed So I'm working really hard to heal myself Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And what if women weren't afraid And what if men weren't afraid too And what if we all stopped to think about our place in this world And what if I could love who I wanted And what if I could be who I wanted
And I laugh when people tell me they don't want to be extreme And I say think of this: misogyny's extreme And patriarchy's extreme and homophobia's extreme And hatred is extreme and rape is extreme And unconsciousness is extreme And consciousness is extreme And feeling is extreme and freedom is extreme And choice is extreme and self-love is extreme
By singing, I heal myself By climbing mountains, I heal myself By lying under the Moon, I heal myself By telling my stories, I heal myself
Chorus: Wake me up from this long lost dream Cuz I've been sleepwalking for most of my life now And I don't know if this Earth can be healed So I'm working really hard to heal myself I'm working really hard, yeah, to heal myself
