about

This song was inspired while I was working at Cincinnati Public Schools, helping out with kindergarteners. One morning one of the students, a 5-year-old blonde haired boy with autism, starts pointing to things and saying if they're holograms. He was confused as to what it meant. He thought if you can touch something, it's real. Otherwise, it's a hologram. Duh!

lyrics

It’s nothin’ more than transparent strings

They’re holdin’ our heads above

The dark water down here in the sink

They used to do so much more.

Some days I don’t feel gravity

And I can just float in the air
Like a butterfly, but on a leash

I’ll never give up this fight, no.

Ooh, I’ll take you as you is

If you don’t mind who I been

It only spreads if you let it

Ya know, love is so ignorant

It’s hot as a kite on power lines

Your smile could win this war

Ooh, I shown you what I am

So please, don’t be a hologram


I’m on these pills for this and that

‘Cause sometimes I forget the truth

That out there ya are ; in here I am

But i’ll keep you safe from the spark

But don’t be no damn hologram

Although you probably are

Yeah you probably are

You probably are

You most probably are – oh no


Don’t be no damn.. hologram
