lyrics

That’s a lot to hold
No wonder why
You need a break but you don’t get it
Then you break down

With so much you’ve seen
It’s no surprise your mind feels like a mine field
when you’re quiet

Don’t you blame yourself, my darling
for the shape this world has you in
It’s a twisted thing
And you were just woven in
It was never meant to tend
To the human within

With it’s roads like veins
But what heart are they serving
A heart that looks away from
The million ways that we’re hurting
A heart that drinks champagne
While the water in Flint still runs dirty

The pain in your heart
That’s the truth
Breaking through
That’s the truth
Breaking through

will you stomp it out
Or let it move you?

that’s too much to know
no wonder why that the world news has you
Desperate for distraction

That’s too much to be,
It’s no surprise the ancient being of your body
Is so frightened

Don’t you blame yourself, my darling
for the shape this world has you in
It’s a twisted thing
And you were just woven through
If you feel like poison
that’s 'cause it’s poisoning you

With it’s roads like veins
But what heart are they serving
A heart that can’t beat without slaves
but won’t admit to where it’s getting it’s rhythm
It wants more for the minimum
And the minimum that it gives ya
Once in prison’s just inflation on nothing

The pain in your heart
that’s the truth
breaking through
that’s the truth
breaking through


This thing we call freedom
It’s not rooted in truth
You can’t call it free when
Someone else pays your dues

When someone else pays your dues

about

The Feelings Parade (Morgan and Scott) Oakland, California

The Feelings Parade is a movement as much as it is a band. Led by songwriters Morgan Bolender and Scott Ferreter, the project has developed a loyal following of diehard “Feelers" who come as much for the poetic songwriting, tight harmonies, and rich textures as they do to drop into their own tender human hearts in a space of collective radical vulnerability. ... more
