Kindness Be Conceived - THAO, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

Hold me hard, I’ve been let loose

Sift me clear of all I do

If by a third degree, you feel a guilt for me

Then I’ve been a villain all my life

And if by a melody, you stay and sway with me

I’ve been a salesman on the side

Kindness be conceived

When we wake in the California light

There is a concrete stuck between

How we breathe and why we die

Why we breathe and why we die

Who wouldn’t hold a wounded bird with anger stuck in time?

I told you I would hold no more

It weighed too much like mine

You and I, and I, alone

Oh, kindness be conceived

When we wake in the California light

There is a concrete stuck between

How we breathe and why we die

Why we breathe and why we die

Hold me hard, I’ve been let loose

Sift me clear of all I do

Kindness be conceived

When we wake in the California light

There is a concrete stuck between

How we breathe and why we die

Why we breathe and why we die
