Heartwork

(album: Heartwork - 2022)

All my friends are turning to light
I'm still drunk
Climbing through the kitchen window every night
Still getting high
Still pulling d's on this test of life

Maybe there will never be a sign
Kissed from the sky that I'll be alright
Maybe I'll do anything to run
And be cracked wide open to avoid

All
The things about me I don't want to face
I
It's easier to run than look inside
And do the heartwork I know is right

All my friends are smiling online
Posting perfect photos
Of their perfect lives
It makes me want to die
This real life
As I count the reasons to stay alive

Maybe I'm addicted to the pair
Of their happiness and my despair
Maybe I feel safer in these slums
Scroll away my life to numb

All
The things about me I don't want to face
I
It's easier to run than look inside
And do the heartwork I know is right

Turns out my friends feel like I do
But no one said a word cos of all the ways
Fear loves to move
Everyone is so connected and so alone

Maybe I've been dreaming all along
To think only I sing this song
Maybe I'm a blind to the lie
To think heaven's always outside

All
The things about me I don't want to face
I
It's easier to run than look inside
And do the heartwork I know is right
