How People Describe You (demo) 03:02
lyrics
buy track
You’re always first To climb a tree Your superpower is empathy You say nice things When on the train Til all the strangers know your name I wish you could hear how people describe you I wish you could see the light that defines you I wish you believed how much I admire you You feel so much Both good and bad It’s not as simple as being sad It’s more like seeing ghosts Or living dreams Will you teach me what love means? I wish you could hear how people describe you I wish you could see the light that defines you I wish you believed how much I admire you Or how I describe you You say that I'm biased, you just laugh it off Listen to me now, don't just pass it off So many people love you I wish you could hear how people describe you I wish you could see the light that defines you I wish you believed how much i admire you or how people describe you

If You Can Make It Here (demo) 02:29
lyrics

Dead rats on the sidewalk, The moon on my skin I’m stumbling home now, At seven AM I’ve got time for some breakfast, Got work in two hours I’m making some coffee The milk has gone sour This city will break you This town doesn’t care I moved here at twenty A full head of hair Get stabbed on the subway Pay in blood for your ride Republicans warn us That crime’s at a high On my way to my job I Step over this guy I’m making my money On the worst day of his life I put on my blinders I don’t want to see A couple of bad years That could’ve been me Aware of my privilege Aware of my soul I’m paying attention I’m paying the toll Surviving’s expensive The rent is insane Most days are a nightmare You spend them in pain But sometimes the sunlight Comes into the room And holds you in closer And lifts you from gloom The person making your coffee Remembers your name A kiss on the forehead Would feel the same And just for a minute You’re not as alone You feel something vibrate Your friend’s on the phone You head down to Brooklyn The trains are on time You don’t remember The statistics on crime You see Jake and Becky Empty spaces are filled You beat back the darkness Through sheer force of will You wake up one morning With hope in the air This city will break you You don’t even care
