This song was sung to me as I was waking up one morning last summer in Los Angeles. I was in between asleep and awake, lying face down and my eyes were closed but my vision was filled with light and I heard a beautiful voice sing “biology.. it’s killing me.. breaking me down..”. I could even hear the simple piano chords under the melody, and it had a soothing, yet somber vibe, which I was captivated by. I opened my eyes, grabbed my guitar and made a quick voice memo. I had received a great gift, so I made a promise it would receive a proper treatment and find its way to the world.

Lyrics:
I’m feelin’ it inside, the steady drip of time.
Is it the blood in my veins? Or is it the patterns in my mind?
I’m tryin’ to break free from all these chains around.
They’re tryin’ to keep me down, down, down.
I’m feelin’ it inside, the steady drip of time.
Is it the blood in my veins? Or is it the patterns in my mind?
I’m tryin’ to break free from all these chains around.
They’re tryin’ to keep me down, down, down.
Biology, it’s killin’ me,
Breakin’ me down, down, down,
But it feels so good.
Biology, it’s killin’ me.
Breakin’ me down, down, down,
But it feels so good.
Biology, it’s killin’ me.
Bring me back down to earth,
I’ve been living in the real world since birth,
I’ve been giving into feeling and I think I found my worth.
I found a strength in biology, discovering it hurts.
Oh, growth, like caverns in my bones.
Caves and catacombs, my soul.
Emotions made my own.
No, no, it’s all I’ve ever known.
No matter where I go, high or low,
I always choose to let it go.
I’ve been living in the real world since birth,
I’ve been giving into feeling and I think I found my worth.
I found a strength in biology, discovering it hurts.
Oh, growth, like caverns in my bones.
Caves and catacombs, my soul.
Emotions made my own.
No, no, it’s all I’ve ever known.
No matter where I go, high or low,
I always choose to let it go.
I’ve been showin’ up, doin’ the work.
I know pain is a teacher.
In this mirror, I’m a creature,
And every step takes me deeper,
Down, down, down, down, down, down.
I know pain is a teacher.
In this mirror, I’m a creature,
And every step takes me deeper,
Down, down, down, down, down, down.
Biology, it’s killin’ me,
Breakin’ me down, down, down,
But it feels so good.
Biology, it’s killin’ me.
Breakin’ me down, down, down,
But it feels so good.
Biology, it’s killin’ me.
(It kills me softly..)
Thanks so much for watching! If you like what you hear, give our album, 'swimming lessons" a spin. It would mean the world to us.
