Democracy- for you Justice Liberty! Not only for you- for us Hope I have gained From the mountains Of the Mexican southeast A salute to those who struggle! I see a distant fire burning In the hills and mountains my friends Can you see and feel its warmth It’s burning me up Energy- I become Dance and sing Patient as the earth Heartbeats of the sea Free! Always as the wind

What We Have is up to You 01:00
lyrics

We all have a destiny To change Whether or not we make it Is up to you, and me And our actions We can Keep lying and denying To our self We can So I ask you Is your life really going to matter? Give it time friend give it time Poison the earth you filter the water Cogen’s energy efficient environmentally advanced Cancer in toms river who’s laughing- who’s moving And then the next time- to where? And this time nowhere- no way Rubbing and rubbing and it won’t go away Running and running I can’t get away There’s something inside! I can’t stop and I’m beginning to understand I was fooling myself and we’re hiding our self

My friends I could talk about times We’ve had many! Good and Bad But I’d rather talk about tomorrow What are you going to do What will you see Will someone tell me What do you see? So please someone! What do you think Can you deny everything In front of you Inside of you Can you? All around you

Darkness Shining shattered Silence Slowness Is everything alright…. Hello- can you hear me? Twitch Radio window wipers Blood shattered Running disappearing into the night I’ll get help Horns sirens Quiet Window wipers radio Stay where you are Death Hunched Ten seconds before Silence Radio window wipers What happen…. Darkness We should leave Tangible Silence (window wipers radio) presence goodbye

No Longer 00:37
lyrics

I can no longer fear death I understand it to be change Could you show me death Can you show me an end This body’s life goes on In ways I barely understand Spirit can’t define Comprehension loss of time I see that my prison Is made of mental strategy This vibrating shell It puzzles and pulls me Dictionaries run dry And my brain charges Numbers sound shape Energy

And You 00:29
lyrics
buy track
The fire immaculate burnt And desire A wild fire Something a circle current learnt Flickering in soft shadows licking You can break the body but you can’t stop the rhythm Blood split innocence held Echoes bounce off and return A rebirth A resurge Images and numbers swim It drives me crazy And you, What does it for you

Mnemotechnics 00:40
lyrics

I of the native tongue I the leader the follower I the train She the secret sayer midnight player We the unwritten we the pulsing It’s got a hold of me The perfectly incomplete Haunting spirit Always has and it always will An old beautiful surprise Reaction with No beginning No end The connection made And this is for the tortured soul And is it you

True Story 04:36
lyrics

You bought me into you Love and trust I gave Excepting everything and more Following you and my heart Willing to give you myself You were willing to take Doubts and confusions I felt Asked for some time and help All you wanted was to take …and you did I was robbed of my soul Left to live in pain All for your FUCKING greed Now I’m left with nothing I’ve become a shell Without feeling I exist I was blind to you Now everything is blinding Stole- what I wanted to give Destroyed- what I held dear Murdered- my true spirit Raped- my love for you I wish I could say I was ok but I look at myself in the mirror and I don’t recognize the reflection in front of my eyes I don’t know maybe it’s the tears clouding my sight I don’t know I don’t know but I can’t say I’m ok because it would be a lie a LIE- like you told me

it was a storm it was. ​NIGGER! Fuck you. why are you like this, she asked like the silence in-between so it started so the rain of shit came down on my head washed in my ears acid rain seeping in my head acid begins to boil in my blood my fist wraps around my bottle -making Arizona a club Fuck you. rumbles in the distance why are you like this, she asked like the silence in-between Fuck you. wait out the storm it might be nothing- they were just talking, just talking even the big dumb white fuck was just talking. so we wait it out so we listen for the thunder…. will it roll closer will there be a flash ​Fuck all of you! the storm is coming you can feel the electricity raising your hair and the hair of the two hundred people standing outside caught. as the sky was about to catch fire Fuck you! (a flash.) in the silence…. why are you like this rumble of feet running like the rumble of two hundred wild dogs chasing down a big dumb animal stupid enough to stumble up on a pack of wolves stupid enough to start bellowing like a big drunk white racist fuck would be stupid enough to stumble into a pack of humans and start talking causing the shit to fall from the sky causing the electricity to rise to the point where it is crackling above the semi-circle of blood thirsty humans all staring at one point where the thunder will rumble and rumble it did and strike we did. again and again and again- and again. and again the bottles came across his face the blood, flesh and glass flew off the fists and feet struck the cane came up went down came up went down came up, broken went down went down went down on the ground we beat him. we bled him we took revenge like only a pack of humans can. somehow, someone, said, something careful, could kill there was a split second in the silence…. why are you like this and in that second, he got up and stumbled and fell and with the aid of more fists, bottles and feet was beaten down the street i still remember his face smashed and smothered in blood i remember, i remember him turning around still with two middle fingers and I remember all the hate all the righteousness- wash right the fuck! out bled out. and in the silence…. after the storm why are you like this? and in the silence…. after I was told that big dumb white fuck and his stupid internal bleeding self died…. Why are you like this? it was a storm it was. it was murder.
