Blood Break Ground
03:53
|
|||
I got out of that house set to burn
Years and years of paper-thin words
It was my turn
18 years I had to face it
18 years I had to break it
No red left in my blood and it can’t be saved
DNA undeniable but it’s in a grave
All I wanted was to leave there
Called a friend for room to spare
Wounded but fully torn down
I charged towards blood break ground
The wait
The steps
Another slap
Condescension comes with a price
Tear away all lingering ties

Stone Heart World
01:52
|
|||
I listened to your stone heart world
I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t fold
I listened to your words and shivered from the cold
You call them animals
You call them others
Barefoot children holding on to desperate mothers
No answers
Just a cover for country clubs and stolen public funds
No answers
Just a way to keep 10 yachts floating on school kids lost hope
When you lose you call it fraud
When you win – not fraud
Convenient math exclusive to rural marks
Don’t want to father
You’d much rather Potter (mister)
Hide from the mobs you despise in a gold bunker
I listened to your words
You transparent saboteur
I listened to your words
and fuck that

Old men with locked arms in robes
Slither to podiums
I have to hide from all the fiction jive
That spews out their craniums
Yet somehow a portion of the spin
Makes me want to join
Did they mean it
When they said they’d help the needy and poor
95 % committed
95 % suspicious
Slogans and smiles, billboards for miles
Every local commercial break
They need your cash, your calls, your postcard hauls
Whatever it will take
But I can’t bring myself to parallel
With every twist and turn
So what you get:
A dedicated skeptic returned
And I can’t help my heart
So easily falls apart
I just can’t fall in line
I feel the gravity of the moment this time

Adrift
03:39
|
|||
Seven times I left
I can’t bear for you to see
What I look like when I’ve lost
All my strength to breath in
Arrows in the aisles
But I’m still turned around
Facing oncoming despair
Rooting deeper in the ground
It’s not your fault
I’m adrift
But I can’t reach you anymore
It’s not your fault
I’m adrift
It’s not your fault
But I can’t love you anymore
This bed is too cold
Can’t sleep anymore

Bitten by the Sound
03:04
|
|||
Sat in a classroom led by an old nun
Sister thought she knew all about rock n roll
But instant karma got the best of her
When she lied about holding Lennon’s hands in her own
All four wheels lifted at night
I’d never seen a car sit on bricks
Guess we’ll stay home
And then a kingdom imagined
Sprouted up from the discs that we spun on the floor
I felt the rush of possible
I was bitten by the sound amplified
What did they mean when they said to me
“You won’t understand this now”
Cause I got it thoroughly
It was as clear to me as white hot slices of sun

Harmony, tenderness,
Human warmth – are not worth
Just cutting up
Who do you worship
That tells you to aim your clip
at rainbows of love
She loves her and he loves him
There’s nothing you can do to end this love
We all have red blood,
Heart and nerves under skin
Deserving the same
(Love will not wait…)
Anyone dumb enough
To stand between equal loves
Gets leveled in shame
(…or bend to hate)
We still got our friends
We check in all the time
We know it’s all about love
She loves her and he loves him
There’s nothing you can do to end this love
A or B or AB or O
We are all one of these four

Mangled Tusk
02:56
|
|||
Watching colors in a pitch black room
More enamel chips away
Structures of engineering genius and doom
Against the clouds they sway
Don’t pinch your sides
Don’t open eyes
Chewing on a cycle like hydraulic jaws
They don’t care where the story goes
The sweat and drool of a blind fool draws
Attention away from throes
Don’t pinch your sides
Don’t open eyes
Please
Don’t let me fade this way
Please
Bloodied gums and mangled tusk before
The morning light
Please
Don’t let me fade this way
Please
Bloodied gums and mangled tusk before
The morning light

Belly of Lead
03:50
|
|||
My old skin been on the run now for weeks
They found the body receipts under the back porch
Now I got a belly full of lead
Standing at an entrance to hell
If you ever go to Houston
My son works in a chemical factory all night
Don’t wanna hear from his old man
Just tell him I didn’t want his ending know-how
Now here come the lawmen
How in the hell did they know?
My word won’t make no difference
My daddy died long before he disowned me
He was a waste and I’ll carry none of his burden
I’ll miss the rain, I’ll miss the blue sky that follows
Damned if I could find much else to keep me alive
Now here come the lawmen
How in the hell did they know?
My word won’t make no difference
Got a belly of lead
See you in hell
Got a belly of lead

Worry
02:44
|
|||
Is there light?
Is there motion?
Do we listen?
Do we wake up?
Stagnant days with
Partial wet masks
No more outlets
Only waiting
I worry for our senseless hearts
I worry
Smoky clothes from
Bonfire assembly
Congregation
Wind and stories
Human lines stretch
Staring silent
No more outlets
Only waiting
I worry for our senseless hearts
I worry

Satellite, SOS
Transmission Failure again
I’m folding foil, antenna ploy
Waiting out endless white noise
I miss you always
I miss you always
Years ago you never stopped
Inspired blur of energy
I’m reaching out to open sky
Academy of hopeless tries
You are the air
You are the air
I miss you always
I miss you always
I miss you always
I miss you always
I’m merely bones on the shoulder
The trail behind you is wide
No hands can keep up
No legs to the stride
