lyrics

Lyrics

War is not over just because you want it
You can’t just close your eyes
The truth is still out there and people are dying
You can’t just close your eyes

The earth is revolting to our destruction
We forgot to honor the bees
But it’s not too late now to change are habits
We’ve got to honor the bees

I know it’s a little bit harder than I’ve made it out to be
But please don’t walk away
We’ve internalized all that we despise
But please don’t let it stay
Breathe it in and feel it deep within your skin
And breathe it out again
Breathe it in and feel it deep within your skin
And breathe it out, breathe it out, breathe it out again

There aren’t two genders just ‘cause you said so
No no no, we can express infinitely
No matter your body, you bestow beauty
And you deserve love intimately

I know it’s a little bit harder than I’ve made it out to be
But please don’t walk away
We’ve internalized all that we despise
But please don’t let it stay
Breathe it in and feel it deep within your skin
And breathe it out again
Breathe it in and feel it deep within your skin
And breathe it out, breathe it out, breathe it out again
