HEY! you're part of it
YEA! you're part of it
HEY! you're part of it
YEA! you're part of it
I walk the streets of a Carolina
watching people pushing shopping carts
and there's a guy above me
and he's washing windows
making ten bucks a pop
and he says to me...
HEY! you're part of it
YEA! you're part of it
HEY! you're part of it
YEA! you're part of it
and I said Sir, well have you heard
that this country is unequal still?
History continues itself
continues itself
history continues itself
and I did not create the rules.
From all I've heard
and all I've seen
this place has broken
my american heart
from all I've heard
and all I've seen
this place has broken
my american heart
HEY! you're part of it
YEA! you're part of it
HEY! you're part of it
YEA! you're part of it

Everyone knows that your afraid of (missing out)
And I know that its hard for you to (swallow down)
A world you created set to explode
You lie through your teeth and everyone knows
For once you should take what im willing to give
Or you'll stay stuck in the web that your trapped in
Everyones told you over and over again
You're making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyones told you
Everyone you left behind
You're making the biggest mistake of your life
It's a chance (what a chance)
you should take (you take)
And I know its not an easy one to make
You should trust the ones that are closest to you
Everyones told you over and over again
You're making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyones told you
Everyone you left behind
You're making the biggest mistake of your life
You've made the biggest mistake of your life

Haligh, Haligh,
A lie, Haligh
this weight it must be satisfied.
You offer only one reply.
You know not what you do.
But you tear and tear your hair from roots.
From that same head you have twice removed
a lock of hair you said would prove our love would never die. Well ha ha ha.
But I remember everything
the words we spoke on freezing South street.
And all those morning watching you get ready for school.
You combed your hair inside that mirror.
The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears. Something about those bright colors
would always make you feel better.
but now we speak with ruined tongues
and the words we say aren’t meant for anyone.
It’s just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance
but there was once you
you said you hate my suffering and you understood
and you’d take care of me.
You'd always be there,
well where are you now?
Haligh, Haligh,
A Lie, Haligh,
the plans were never finalized
but left to hang like yarn and twine dangling before my eyes.
As you tear and tear your hair from roots,
from that same head that you have twice removed
a lock of hair you said would prove our love would never die.
As I sing and sing of awful things,
the pleasure that my sadness brings
as my fingers press onto the strings
yet another clumsy chord.
Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie.
This weight will now be satisfied.
I will give you only one reply,
I know not who I am
but I talk in the mirror to the stranger that appears.
Our conversations are circles, always one sided,
nothing is clear.
Except we keep coming back to this meaning that I lack.
He says the choices were given
and now I must live them or just not live,
but do you want that?

my dad donated about 300$ worth of
bottled water to the hurricane donation thing.
my mom says they had 24 hours notice for evacuation before the hurricane even hit.
I saw a mother holding her dead infant on the news..........
we're now looking into adopting/fostering a child from the area for a while.
