about

In this surreal and terrifying moment, the peace you'll find is the peace you create for yourself. There is a fountain of endless peace, joy, care, creativity, and love inside you. Find it and spend some time there.

Let this be your social distancing soundtrack lol.

lyrics

I am not fighting myself (x4)

Cancer was already killing us pandemically
We just need to see everything momentously
I try living my life authentically
Knowing they'll measure my time anthemically
And we're just buying time on a credit card
Death is the real debt that we owe
And if I said it I meant it, I meant it all from the start
I feel the sediment slip between my toes

I am not fighting myself (x4)

They put a pause on the evictions and the stupid repetitions
Of the capitalist system that we're living in
They make social divisions and then they turn them into prisons
That benefit the businesses they're bidding in
And I don't get how you can see disease has risen and try to buy the vaccine and privatize it
Same way that they take colonialism and then they call it religion to justify it

I am not fighting myself (x4)

I am not fighting myself
I'm just reminding myself
That I don't need anyone else
I am just fine by myself
