lyrics

I feel what I am; I am not what I feel...

Trigger trigger
Like a pistol,
A propensity.

Automatic mechanisms,
Past decisions,
Mold the sense of identity,
The sentiment our leash.

Big plus bigger
Equals better,
So American.

Got to stomach through the static,
So emphatic,
Who we are if we win
Or if we lose.

Chorus:
What I say is what it is
Sinks on in to be imprinted
In my body
But my spirit knows
I can throw my body in the sand and I wouldn’t feel the blow.

Tunnel vision,
Pump the brain,
It’s bliss in overdrive.

To be happy
That’s the goal,
Avoid uncomfortable
Does that make us feel alive?
What’s that say about me?

All the misinterpretations
Dictating where we go
Grief and pain internalized
Labeled and classified
As reasons we're less than whole,
Such stories we see

Chorus:
What I say is what it is
Sinks on in to be imprinted
In my body
But my spirit knows
I can throw my body in the sand and I wouldn’t feel the blow.

Sinks on in to be imprinted
In my body
But my spirit knows
I can throw my body in the sand I wouldn’t feel the blow
