“Terminal Frequency “

(Verse 1)

He’s sitting by the trash can with his head between his kneesI don't see a "tweaker," I see a soul that's ill at easeI bring a plastic bottle and I offer up a handThe simplest of gestures that the lonely understandIt’s not about the power, and it’s not about the prideIt’s filling up the hollow spots that they’ve been forced to hide.

(Chorus)

Say my name—the one who pours the cupYeah, dats me—the one who’s lifting upRighteousness is kindness, and respect is how we healMaking sure the "invisible" remember that they’re real.

(Verse 2)

She’s shivering in the corner with the voices in her earI sit a little distance just to let her know I’m nearI don’t ask for her story and I don’t ask for her nameI just treat her like a lady, free of shadow, free of shameA crust of bread, a moment’s peace, a nod of true respectGiving back the dignity the world chose to reject.

(Chorus)

Say my name—the one who pours the cupYeah, dats me—the one who’s lifting upRighteousness is kindness, and respect is how we healMaking sure the "invisible" remember that they’re real.
