about

100% of proceeds will go directly to relief efforts in Gaza and West Bank, Palestine.

Because of the varying nature of needs on the ground, funds will be split between organizations (such as Anera, Baitulmaal, PCRF and UNRWA), individuals providing direct aid, and actions such as purchasing e-sims to keep the people of Gaza connected to each other and the world.

Royalties from this recording– whether on this platform or streaming– will be donated to Palestine in perpetuity.

Receipts of all funds received and donated will be made available via social media/future website.

Palestine will be free.

lyrics

Always say
nothings wrong
hide the grief
deep inside my lungs
overworked, overwhelmed
hell on earth
wish that I could help
every day while I sleep
pray I awake lifted from my knees
kept your pain in my chest
so much weight
no, I can't forget

Maybe there's a way to keep
my heart intact while living
through your anguish
vicariously
I'm hoping that what's left
is still enough

It's all and all and all my love
is it enough?

Is there a place I should start?
It's not enough
to know what's in my heart
Can't relate
I'll just believe
Wish my words could bring you relief
Everyday
so much fear
they own the rain
they can't own our tears
your mother's name
all that's left
I know that pain
it never leaves my chest

Maybe there's a way to keep
my heart intact while living
through your anguish
vicariously
I'm hoping that what's left
is still enough

Its all and all and all my love
is it enough?

There's so much more I should have done
To all the seeds the waters run
