REENIE acoustic duo sessions with Lea Kirstein: "The Good Fight"

lyrics

I'll give you a dollar
for every word I had to swallow
you'll be rich and I'll be full
to the collar

they gave me a headache
and this feeling in my gut that I can't fake
still holding it in as a keepsake

when I was young
they told me not to mess around
they told me not to make a sound
kept me down, kept me down

as I tried to hold in all the shouldn'ts
they gave me a warning
another beautifully tainted warning

how am I supposed to feel the weight
if I can't feel the right things

like I was young
they told me not to mess around
they told me not to make a sound
kept me down, kept me down

please go easy lettin' me down
touch my cheek to frozen ground
please go easy lettin' me down

how am I supposed to feel the weight
if I can't feel the right things

like I was young
and too afraid to make a sound
but take a look at me right now
can't keep me down
