Where do we start at this moment to dismantle established systems? Tear down monuments to the bastards who inspire a myth of nostalgia. It's just a veiled expression of racism. Tear down monuments to the bastards
who’ve stolen history, who've stolen culture, who've stolen the land. Tear down monuments to the bastards who inspire the myth of nostalgia, the myth of honor.

Down In Front
01:08
|
|
||
it’s so easy to run and hide
with clouded vision from white-washed eyes
some don’t have that choice to make
some have much more at stake
you can throw up your hands but that won’t make you any taller
down in front
the line in the sand won’t wash away with the tide
but we need to try to clear our eyes and see the other
...side

Keystone Species
01:28
|
|

There’s a secret to harmony that makes all of the pieces fit. To avoid all disruptions and maintain equilibrium. We never were the keystone species. The intervention of humans, a modern antithesis to a thriving system that would be better off.

Blue Months
03:11
|
|

So desperate, pathetic, my need for connection. As I disregard the logic of self preservation. How long can that last? How long does that last? Such short time to feel as though we’ve done our best.
We’ve made a choice.

Identity Theft
07:29
|
|
||
spread so thin, you’re transparent
you’ve lost yourself in everyone else
a cry for help may not be that loud
a cry for help may get drowned out
when we all talk at the same time
we may not hear that voice
through the volume, static and noise
we hide in silence behind smiles
we hide in jokes and in denial
no more center stage:
since we’ve occupied that space
there are many ways to say “i’m not okay”
don’t lose your identity
or become an extra on the screen
in your own movie

Bait
02:41
|
|
||
i won’t be lured in by the bait
and i won’t call you by playground names
that won’t make change
you’re doing so well all by yourself
you’ve already kicked out the chair
hanging by your own words
hanging by delusion and choosing:
senseless pride and rehashed lines
i watch you squirm
like a worm on the pavement now
i watch you squirm but i won’t help you out

Beg The Question
00:56
|
|
||
scream into a void and listen back
yeah, sure we've heard it all before:
debate scripts for filtered narratives
repurposing a tragedy
fabricating an enemy
prescribed lines to fit a role
are my thoughts even my own?

Court of Public Opinion
03:10
|
|

Male ego, so fragile, subscriptions, that won’t renew. Current mindset, entitlement to what we think we’re owed, pretense comes to a close. To not subscribe to their nuance. Lets burn the old ways and learn the lessons. Build new notions of identity from the insight of unheard voices, so long past due.

On our best days we’re still dying. On our worst days we’re still living. Sometimes pain is a gift to remind that these times are borrowed and fleeting. What we’ve done with this time, what we do through the fire, determines who we can be. determines what we hold dear.

the grinning face in the ash as the smoke clears away
i never believed in ghosts
i never believed in...
the shadow on the wall
the whisper in the dark
i never believed in ghosts i never believed in...
the tap on my shoulder when i walk on my own
i won’t forget and it gets its way with me
a follower i can’t touch nor see
we are never...truly alone
and i never believed in ghosts
i never believed in myself
