A Place To Begin

(álbum: The World Don't Owe You Anything - 2023)

Lying to yourself ain't no place to begin
Like standing in the mirror and trying to suck your gut in
Add it to the laundry list, a summer body in the winter
Build a fire with a pile of sticks, promises you hope will stick

Cut the grass, wipe lipstick off the wine glass
Wonder why you'd wipe cobwebs? Spiders need a home
Do the things that make some kind of difference
Do the things that make you feel less alone

Lying to yourself ain't no place for a start
Like standing in the mirror, trying to hide the things you are
Add it to the laundry list, build confidence in the winter
Start a fire you hope will stick
Stay angry at what makes you sick

Cut the grass, wipe lipstick off the wine glass
Wonder why you'd wipe cobwebs? Spiders need a home
Do the things that make some kind of difference
Do the things that make you feel less alone

Stick a middle finger up to anyone
Who thinks that they're the one that gets to run your show
Stake a claim to all the things that you love
Take a second to live more slow

Begin, begin, begin
Begin, begin, begin
Begin, begin, begin
Begin, begin

Everyone needs a place to begin
Everyone needs a place to begin

Everyone needs a place to begin
Everyone needs a place to begin
Everyone needs a place to begin
Everyone needs a place to begin
