Summer Cleaning: Faux Friends

Lisa Marie Presley Storm & Grace Promo Image

Recent life event's have been an astonishing eye opener. The universe has given me a swift kick in the ass and forced me to open my eyes and take a good look around me, especially at the people in my life and "circle". It is always during these times that the soundtrack of my life somehow gets cranked.  From my FAV album of the summer comes today's most applicable track called "Un-Break" by Lisa Marie Presley.  She is a gifted writer and I adore the metaphors and wit behind her lyrics. I don't necessarily want the "broken" to "un-break" but more of a re-building in my life where people are concerned. A summer cleaning of sorts. I have taken accountability for placing my trust in the untrustworthy, my time into the takers, and my energy into the ungrateful. Essentially being run over by my own parade as LMP so aptly put's it. Life is all about learning, growth and personal evolution. Some lessons come cloaked as "friends" but the key is to recognize the lesson and move forward, letting the faux friends fall away and don't let them slow your journey down.  Listen to the song below and BUY THE ALBUM or download immediately from iTunes 

UN-BREAK LYRICS

I have to wonder what the hell I ever did
to deserve this

Is it just me or most people a drag
and dishonest

I own up, I try
What am I not doing right
But shit it keeps on coming

I’ve got run over by my own parade
I’ve suffocated in the beds I’ve made
I’ve cut my feet on all the glass that I break
Still trying to find a way
To get what’s broken
To un-break

Somewhere along the line I must have been
a backstabbing liar

Maybe in another life I was a snake or vampire

I own up, I try
What am I not doing right

But shit it keeps on coming
Maybe I should change my plumbing

I’ve got run over by my own parade
I’ve suffocated in the beds I’ve made
I’ve cut my feet on all the glass that I break
Still trying to find a way
To get what’s broken
To un-break

I own up, I try
What am I not doing right

But shit it keeps on coming
Maybe I'm just missing something

I’ve got run over by my own parade
I’ve suffocated in the beds I’ve made
I’ve cut my feet on all the glass that I break
Still trying to find a way
To get what’s broken
To un-break
