Stand the Test

They say stay at home
You won’t always be alone
And I’m trying to remember what I love
But we don’t know how long this will last
And I don’t know if I’ll stand the test
I’ve got pictures of your face
I’ve got cans of food for days
And the dust has begun to tap its toes
Danger zone, burning scones, begging all my plants to grow
Radio, stereo, screaming in my feathered megaphone
Wondering why it’s so hard to let go
But we don’t know how long this will last
And I don’t know if I’ll stand the test
There’s a virus in our home
There’s that nine-to-five in our bones
And I’m thinking there must be more to all this mess
If curiosity was the work, to search and search and search
To see the world, well it’d hush a lot of hate
But we don’t know how long this will last
And I don’t know if I’ll stand the test
And it don’t matter how long this will last
And it don’t matter if l stand the test

I Fed Animals
Written by Eleot Reich and Christopher Lowe
I fed animals waiting so long for you
One wink to the lion did not know what else to do
And I will rise from the weight of my truth
Baby I fed animals waiting so long for you
Don’t feed the animals what my daddy said to me
They’ll bite you right back, leave you begging on your knees
But it’s not in my nature, I’d rather be fed than feed
Too much mess in the kitchen makes this girl go crazy
But you took so long to get back to me
So baby I fed animals and it taste like victory
I’m in my mind trying to make up an excuse
But love is love and you’ve got nothing left to prove
So I’m walking free and I’m writing my own rules
This here’s for all you wild and independent souls
Number one, don’t waste your time
Number two, serve what you love
Number three, feed animals
And you can rise above
Crocodile, elephant, or chimpanzee
It don’t matter the animal you know they all get hungry
Two quick bites they didn’t even need to chew
Baby I fed animals, and I did it without you
