Bumble 03:23
lyrics
buy track
The strong rise from below They are born or they are bred, or whatever they want you to know Only the few, only the strong The rest can be as fools, and played long Is that your heart on the ground No matter now, got to keep on Saying your prayers, give em' hell boson Stretching part truth, with tailored suits on Fulfilling disaster, sycophant symphony Owning the mic, then speakin' just how they taught you to see Is that your mind on the ground No time to lose, got to keep on Nose to the grind, tick it off time piece Breath of fresh air, in the midst of opportunistic disease Rich men's scams are poor man's burdens It's times like these they prove their worth man Is that our fault on the ground All our time in this world has come for us now All our time in this world has come for us now

Dirty Tricks 03:28
lyrics
buy track
First you need kin, then you're sucked in Insular family dawns the bonnet You don't even know you're haunted 'Bout that time for handmaid's tale Church folk chomping, losing faith now They just want to do the judging Jesus bends just how you want him Some would say we're on our way if only for the trial They can't wait for judgement day to justify denial The best of us need not blame nor guns, we already won the heart But the mind is sick from dirty tricks keeping us apart Never ending madness makin' What we get for separating I know you don't want to hear it.

What I See 04:23
lyrics
buy track
I know what I see Rain comes down to fill our needs Water grows our fruit trees I know what I see I grew up to see our need We are young, and far from peace We are war, with no justice Profits, reasons Notice your sight I grow on to seek our need We are warm, yet far from peace We are love, with no justice Profits, reasons Notice your sight Hearts tell for themselves truth that's to be seen here No more white robe blindfolds keeping senses from the young Let them grow from springs first snow to show the old which way to go Rain comes down, to fill our needs I know what I see I know I can't believe I know what I see

Adria 04:28
lyrics

How I want to know you I can almost see you there Through the pane of ages All dimensions stare Adria Adria How can we have you On this plain why would we dare Knowing the pane of ages Where all the ageless share All the ageless share Sometimes it hard to keep beating So many kinds of life exist Times and places Turns and twists Turns and twists Adria Adria

Swampy Game 03:16
lyrics
buy track
You played your part in their shameful parlor trick Did you not think the swamp would co-opt you to stand up in their name? They pulled your rip cord look back That's them up in their fancy looting plane No unmarked kidnaps just stage craft Violence helps em' win the game It is their way Well all pokes aside We got taken for another ride You played their game for shame And there the swamp remains. It's getting pretty dark when you Lock em' up in cages when they're Crawling from blowback Where's the hope we can't even own our shame? Where's your Jesus he's out back Caning little fingers on the cage All in our name Well I need you to see The best of us are not in league And that don't change when we Pick another name It really warms the heart to see the house taken to task They cry free markets, call that It's a two party crash ahead up in our lane They dance together slyly They'll pillage whoever just the same It is their way It's all getting pretty old Running scapegoats up the pole They're like kings and we don't even know their names Well we need to wake up, we've been divided and we're stuck We're all marks and we don't even know the game So you tell those golden thugs They can't steal what revolves We see them all and we'd do well To trade the cage

Friends 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Are we all friends? Or do we just pretend? That we're all just waiting round for a happy happy end How can it be? Did we forget we bleed? Same as the folks who choke on rockets we seed I know you believe, I see it on your tee Simple thing fast half back asswards money do monkey see Wish I could sing about happy things And not have to drag to light the darkness we king Ensign would you share the ship with me? Our captains want a stormy sea Can we kill patriotically In wars for profit overseas? Are we marching all ahead full steam? Away from all we swear to be Are we all friends? Or do we just pretend? That we're all just putting up with those they'll later pen We know what we need It is not out of reach The captains break the will it takes to try different things

None Above 05:51
lyrics
buy track
What I want to say is most necessary Cause we need to talk, or it gets real scary Born into, raised up Cocked an eye, wised up We see the stars and know we're dust What more could animals want, than none above? So we denounce their plans Defiant humans Yet again we're cleansed Who left will stand? Breed to line, fed to stare Burned alive, brave to not care? We have these doubts when we see the scars What kind of animal wounds, with pain like ours? Phased out Towed the line Let it fall Just in time We see the stars and know we're dust What more could animals want, than none above

Oh Hell 04:16
lyrics
buy track
A piece of rock that you gave me Long ago when you could not take me Oh the pain, oh the straws Always ours, forever more Oh hell Oh hell Hard to talk, but you made me Sunday nights, telephone family We can't change, can't hold to cry So strange, have to live our time but Oh hell Oh hell Salt is in our wounds you'll see They cannot heal properly Layer on the bits are wrong We'll do our best to move along Strange it seems an injury can finish in a scar Our iron spills forged coping skills so function could restart Oh hell Oh hell Oh hell

Somehow 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Time will tear you up and make you beg Rerun highlights of your mistakes Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Burnt you to a char of your image You can't get it back old you has changed Dreaming of your time it's all a daze Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Flipping through the pages that remain Gasp between the beauty and the pain Revel in the hour it's not late Let it go Let it go Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Let it go and play somehow Take a glimpse you animals Further than you're shown Brother, Sister, Panthaeon The Ides are coming 'round

Bones 05:40
lyrics
buy track
I wanted to believe I was part of something good And not have to worry About if we even should Save ourselves above all else A lonely tale That we would sell our bones for something We can give ourselves I wanted this disease So I could be fooled good And not have to worry About if I even could But someone's there I can't help myself To deny Would be to sell my bones for something I can give myself I wanted you to see It's not all understood We're dragging behind A race among the cruel So few dare Enough to care To own their hold Cuz we won't sell our bones for something If we can give ourselves We can give ourselves

All God 06:33
lyrics
buy track
Sitting on the edge of a river watching as life floats by Knowing only by the senses I keep alive Flow on All God Fishing from the banks of a consciousness not well defined Knowing I'm only one of many steps in time Flow on All God Knowing in our bones that we're only gonna go where we are Begging to the sky while Evil defines our stairway Know what you see what you see what you see Only have to be what we need when we need Flow on All God Flow on All God
