about

This song was written as an exercise in saying the things that I needed to hear. The line "you are not your work or art" came out during a conversation with a friend and I immediately wrote it down, knowing it was special. At this weird time in history, having a song to remind you are that you are more than the sum of your work or production. You are more than what you've been prescribed, and you are more than the molecules in your body, feels very important. It feels important to me, and it feels important to say. This song was written pre-covid-19, but it feels as important now, if not more important, than it did when I wrote it last year.

lyrics

You are not your broken heart
You are not your work or art
more than they have paid you to believe

You are not those pills you take
You are not your nervous break
More than they have gave you for relief

And we fall down
Even though, we know how
And I can't stand it
Even though, we manage it

We are more than molecules
The stars that died and flow through you
We all die and we get reused

And we fall down
Even though, we know how
And I can't stand it
Even though, we manage it

This is how we break the breakdown
This is how we know how
Even when you hear me calling
You will not pick up the phone
