about

This is a song that I've held tightly onto for about three years. It's one of those songs that kept evolving and growing every time it was recorded and performed. It felt like everytime I struggled with the different elements life placed before me on the path I always had this song as a form of my foundation.

lyrics

I’m inspired both by those who battle to trace,
the realness you have to find as you align w/ what's reality based,
you can check the facts kind of boring amongst the listed truth,
because I’ve only lived one story and that's the one I’m sticking to,
here to give you the images from the picnic bench to the pigeon stoup,
and maybe you too can see the world we live in w/ a different truth,
or you can find the image you've been living w/ is a different you,
it all appears though your peers tend to threaten the cost,
and you'll view those who will fuel or be fools when you're ready to launch,
I’ve become steady w/ probably cause,
this world is dangerous so strange enough as it sounds I’m probably armed,
it's you that has to decide if you need to start palming the gauze,
because my injuries are surface deep yours could be harder to solve....

I need to get this all off my chest,
I need to get this all off,
I need to get this all off,
I need to get this all off of my chest....

I need to get it all off,
because all the things I love in this world I’ve treated all wrong,
all because I didn't have the strength to bury the hatch,
so now I have to be exact on a path most would feel too scared to match,
owe 1000 words of regret and my text might fall short,
but in the end all of them are called for,
because all that you think I am I’m half the vision it's been all forced,
by the burdens that I’ve placed while pretending to chase,
love because right when I grasped it I still haven't mended the rates,
in which I hold truth to those who deserve transmission,
so I stand a different version of myself in a stance where the words stand missing,
trying to grow until my form solves the stalls of sins,
crying hidden tears hoping that somehow I’m forgiven for all of it....

I need to get this all off my chest,
I need to get this all off,
I need to get this all off,
I need to get this all off of my chest....

I need to get this all off my chest,
I need to get this all off,
I need to get this all off,
I need to get this all off of my chest....
