My greens and blues were showing, they strangled up my lungs
Lessons in my pockets, kindness on my tongue
Sticky armpits, monsoon air, comfort withdrawals
But unlike my home in LA, I didn’t cloud my flaws
I lived within the genuine and unrehearsed
Miles away from the underpaid and overworked
When the drizzle passed my brow, I earned another year
Wise enough to laugh it off and decorate my fears
I washed my hands in my room, the prison where I grew
Where routine kills a dreamer on the way to something new
I lived within the genuine and unrehearsed
Miles away from the underpaid and overworked
