[00:01.954][Pre-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
[00:17.957] Ever since I was a kid
[00:22.453] On the backs of my two eyelids
[00:25.198] I hid two Teleprompters there
[00:27.450] Transmitting words from who knows where
[00:29.963] Walkie-talkie on a mission
[00:32.701] Roger, roger will I listen
[00:35.201] Or will I just pass it along
[00:37.460] In the form of a sing-a-long
[00:40.202] Whammies and Noids be void and null
[00:42.210] I feel a tingle in my skull
[00:44.957] Like ticker tape the words appear
[00:47.459] There’s a parade between my ears
[00:49.707][Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
[00:49.953] I preach self-love I know it’s true
[00:52.459] It’s easier to say than do
[00:54.961] I send these messages to you
[00:57.459] But now I need to hear them too
[00:59.961] I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable
[01:10.205] I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable
[01:19.955][Verse 1: Aesop Rock]
[01:20.200] I was laying bricks in a line
[01:21.220] Yap full of dog toy
[01:22.959] Picturing a life beyond that of a protocol droid
[01:24.467] Bleep bloop boy ox boycott pea soup
[01:28.446] First learn to eat paint at St. Peter’s preschool-yum
[01:29.709] Now that’s a painkiller I can speak through
[01:32.949] Airbrush letters on a pristine gene pool
[01:35.207] See my mother said her father drew a ton
[01:37.469] But all his cartoons had been swallowed by the Susquehanna flood in '72
[01:40.704] The year that he would subsequently pass
[01:42.458] I know he had a stroke but I assume that’s only half
[01:44.948] And now I’m signing up for finger-drawing class in a tux like a gentleman
[01:48.205] Marrying his ash to his dust
[01:49.708] Last on the kickball team draft pick-list
[01:52.207] First to the King Kullen practicing his kickflips
[01:54.956] I’d like to say it’s ‘cause I was a rebel
[01:57.455] Truthfully it’s easier to say “oh hell” instead of “hello”
[01:59.650] (Hi, you need to get out more)
[02:01.898] I dunno, I don’t wanna be there when the geometry domino
[02:05.142] (You need to get out more)
[02:07.152] Maybe, or maybe his pace is better suited for pacing
[02:09.136] (You need to get out more)
[02:12.403] Never I am nailed to the floor-I am snail under pressure
[02:15.141] (You need to get out more)
[02:17.407] Fine
[02:18.140][Pre-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
[02:19.894] Ever since I was a kid
[02:22.132] On the backs of my two eyelids
[02:24.632] I hid two Teleprompters there
[02:27.138] Transmitting words from who knows where
[02:29.884] And this is why when I’m on stage
[02:32.387] My eyes are closed I’m in a haze
[02:34.143] I look like I’m made out of clay
[02:37.149] I’m overwhelmed and under-glazed
[02:39.151] I’m making vases out of snakes
[02:42.137] I’m a kiln half-full of mistakes
[02:44.653] When kneading it, air’s overlooked
[02:47.139] It’s gonna crack when it gets cooked
[02:49.655] So self-forgiveness is the key
[02:51.897] To re-sculpting my sanity
[02:54.643] Mindfulness, humility
[02:56.641] And taking time to care for me
[02:59.402][Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
[02:59.648] I preach self-love I know it’s true
[03:02.398] It’s easier to say than do
[03:04.643] I sing these messages to you
[03:06.900] But now I need to hear them too
[03:09.392] I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable
[03:19.395] I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable
[03:28.651][Verse 2: Aesop Rock]
[03:29.834] I was laying bricks in a line
[03:31.332] Yap full of copper-top
[03:32.832] Picturing a life beyond that of a dish-washer bot
[03:34.338] Buzz ping
[03:35.595] Criss-crossed arms in a tub ring
[03:37.346] Learned heartbreak on a Zelda-1 sub screen-numb
[03:39.085] Learned dark days by the scent of poached dove meat
[03:43.095] Some part ways and it’s fugly
[03:44.844] Maybe the sum of the parts became lesser
[03:46.588] That each individually making the same gesture
[03:49.338] And you don’t wanna interrupt the overlapping network
[03:51.837] So you throw a bag together and elope with cabin pressure
[03:54.333] To disappear instead of interfere with nutty customs
[03:57.079] And differing definitions of liberty and justice
[03:59.580] Big dummy dig a hole in the dirt
[04:01.832] He put his head in the hole; he is alone in this world
[04:03.840] And dying slowly from the comfort of his home full of worms
[04:06.837] Until you hear a little voice say “yo let’s go get dessert”
[04:08.841] Wait-what?
[04:10.578] You need to get out more
[04:11.589] I dunno-over 2 million dead bats in NY alone
[04:14.080] You need to get out more
[04:16.337] Maybe, maybe not
[04:18.588] Maybe I'll just stay back and survey the lot
[04:21.338] You need to get out more
[04:21.846] Never I am nailed to the walls in a jail made of deserts
[04:25.289] You need to get out more
[04:26.042] OK
[00:01.954][Pre-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
[00:17.957] Ever since I was a kid
[00:22.453] On the backs of my two eyelids
[00:25.198] I hid two Teleprompters there
