lyrics

When you settle into daily grinds,
Does the work around you help you feel alive?
Does it justify carrying worry?
Is your health dependent on moves occurring?

With shit you finish and skills you hone,
Must the execution be performed alone?
Do you quail when others wanna help you tow
The load you feel is better handled on your own?

I can only ask because my act is playing out the same,
And I think our distance can create the weight that shakes help.

So would you say,
Even though we knowingly overload plates,
There are workarounds to put in place
That can maybe interrupt these solo ways?

I compelled to ask because I'm done with playing it the same,
And I think that sharing shakes the weight that makes us hate help.

Even when you are silent, your posture broadcasts.
I slump those shoulders, I knit that brow, skirting community.
The weight makes it feel like you can't be empathized with, skirting community.
I know how craft and task can ravage plans of ending skirting community.

Skirting community.

I know because I've spent awhile playing it the same,
And I think that sharing shakes the weight that makes us hate help.
