about

This song is dedicated to low self-esteem.

lyrics

I'm just a tragedy walking down the street, so just let me walk on by.
Pay no attention for the best form of protection against having to meet my eye.
Soul to soul, soul to sold. I can't scream loud enough.
Imprisoned, I flaunt my sex appeal because I need to feel loved.
I'm trying to walk away, but gravity keeps me tethered to the ground.
I just need to be alone sometimes. It's not you I swear, it just builds inside until I
scream!

Hang on tight to your hammer and swing, these walls are coming down.
I'm sick of this reverb feeding back to me, I will not restrain my sound.
Break down break down all of your superstition because the loving's gonna come on strong.
Swimming in a sea of intuition, rise up with the morning song.

Plucking your head out of dark starvation.
Don't you know that it needs to be fed?
Minding and minding, just chew on your brain.
Absorb your thoughts just like bread.

Free me, can't you see, I'll do you no good in here.
In your mind you criticize and lump me with your fear.
Free me, won't you please let me be who I am.
Trust and try to understand I'm only hear to lend a hand.

about

Andy Joseph Minneapolis, Minnesota

Just a Madison boy, born and raised. I play the guitar to pass my days. And when the time comes to entertain, I'll leave no inactive cell in your brain. When the word goes through about the work I do, I hope you'll open up and sing along too.
