E-motion LyricsWhy is it hard to accept emotions? Why do
we twist them into shapes they are not?
They only re-form the shape in which
they’re born when we’re not looking.
Why deny, resist and list them instead of
letting them rest inside our bodies
What am I scared of? That I’ll die of
discomfort or that they’ll last forever?
20 seconds.
Apparently that’s how long
it takes for an emotion to be felt
We store them in boxes called illness
and backache, instead of letting them
move so they can take up space to
one day eventually—poof—evaporate
Their purpose is to move, be felt
as energy in motion.
We don’t choose their arrival
But we choose our response, so we might
as well greet them and treat them like friends.
