give up! (ft. Jess Joy)
from Kenny's Room by Kenny Zhao, Annabelle Maginnis, Def Sound, Twolips, Jess Joy, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe
lyrics
grief - I lost that moment of purpose
fell off the horse
lost sight of my star
does not seeing it negate its existence?
ego - you will never be enough
look at all you've done, it doesn't matter
you don't matter,
give up!
desire for justice, desire to serve, desire to rest
desire to break windows and scream
desire to escape from myself
transcend my structure
destroy my safety nets
desire to love
desire to nurture
to be touched, tenderly
to be given compassion from an external source, as if feelings come from anywhere besides my body.
discomfort
unease
if I can release my old ways of thinking
if I can be still
if I can grieve the idea of "enough"
maybe I can find liberation
no
contentment.
fell off the horse
lost sight of my star

ego - you will never be enough
look at all you've done, it doesn't matter
you don't matter,
give up!
desire for justice, desire to serve, desire to rest
desire to break windows and scream
desire to escape from myself
transcend my structure
destroy my safety nets
desire to love
desire to nurture
to be touched, tenderly
to be given compassion from an external source, as if feelings come from anywhere besides my body.
discomfort
unease
if I can release my old ways of thinking
if I can be still
if I can grieve the idea of "enough"
maybe I can find liberation
no
contentment.
