    Story Behind the Song
    About people caught up in image to the point of obsession and control, and how that can begin to define the way we see and interact with the world. Took a line from a friends song she was trying to write while in a violent and destructive relationship.

    Lyrics
    being small

    i'm getting used to being small
    peeling the weight of power over off my shoulders
    hey what have i got to lose
    my soul and my songs keep coming through
    and i'm getting used to being small
    and i'm getting used to spending sundays with myself
    peeling the weight of religion off my shoulders
    evangelized identity
    institutionalized hypocrisy
    my spirit's getting used to being free
    and i'm getting used to the idea of dropping out
    peeling the weight of institutions off my shoulders
    cuz' they rape me of creativity
    and i'm tired of living hypothetically
    i'll never get used to it
    hey ho, nobody knows
    eat nor drink, nor money have i none
    but still i will be merry
    i'm getting used to being just a little crazy
    peeling the weight of rationality off my shoulders
    so sorry if i'm not what you thought you'd find see
    i've seen the light and lost my mind and
    i could get used to it
    i could get used to being small
    peeling the weight of power over off my shoulders
    hey what have i got to lose
    my soul, my songs keep coming through
    and i'm getting used to being small
