Progressive / electronic / rock / rap Whatever I feel is right
The Trying. A name representing something we must constantly be doing in our lives. This is the epitome of myself. This is my space without restrictions. The personal/political - inseparably wound.
Lyrics
“You’re quite the showoff aren’t you there?” said the peacock to the skeleton who was just trying to feel
“You run around this Earth, acting out, just trying to make up for the sense you don’t have. Stop trying so hard to receive attention, just let it come to you.”
“Put your clothes back on, you make yourself so vulnerable,” said the skeleton to the whore, just trying to get by.
“You walk these streets offering all of yourself and you don’t even keep any of your own. Why don’t you just cover yourself up and never let anyone inside?”
Overflow
When you can not love yourself
Overflow
Use this lens on someone else
Overflow
Pouring out onto everyone else
You’re heart, it breaks, it tears, it flakes
Open the mouth of someone else
Let all of it pour inside them
Charred rain of pain, enter the brain
Can you break hearts so fast as you burn your own?
How fast can you scold their faults that are your own?
Insecure

Outsecure

“You’re just so f*** ing proud of yourself, aren’t you” asked the whore to the woman who made something of herself.
“You drive around in your fancy car to your elegant restaurants, not caring one bit about anyone else. You’ve lost touch with reality. You’re in a f*** ing dream.”
You turn away from yourself
But you still see the same things
You cannot change all them
Until you can change yourself
Will you dare to recognize it’s you who’s wrong?
The judgment you radiate is unjust and wrong
Tear
Tear
Tear
Tear

When you can not love yourself
Overflow
Use this lense on someone else
Overflow
Pouring out onto everyone else
You’re heart, it breaks, it tears, it flakes
Open the mouth of someone else
Let all of it pour inside them
Charred rain of pain, enter the brain
You have to control yourself
Before you can accept anyone else
Realize as there’s more attention paid
Their aura is your iris
Cobblestones create your callus
Look at all those with their shoes
Stare them down with your malice
Why the hell would they choose to lose?
“You have a gift, why don’t you give it away?” asks the woman to the peacock who hates his colors.
“You have such beautiful colors you cold mesmerize others with and get yourself ahead. Use your gifts and others’ weaknesses to your advantage.

Can you not describe yourself and see all them?
Do you hate all them when you describe yourself?
Hold on
