Break of the Sun
01:58
|
|||
It’s five in the morning
Without any warning
We’re up and out
Gone up to the mountain
Walking in the dark
Race against our star
We’ll trudge through the puddles
The mud and the rubble
That soak our shoes
The beam of our lamp light
Using every sense
Frost in the forest
And when we get to the top
Out on the open rock
We made it just before the break of the sun
And even in the wind
And the cold air thin
It’s like we’re out of body
Inside the glow
The orange yields to greens and yellow
When night gives way to day

Class Warfare
03:03
|
|||
Standing in queue under skies colored blue in the city
Bricks on the ground feet all click or they pound as we wait
Grateful to wait as we place all our faith in a science
A sought after sigh of relief through our teeth in parade
And yet the whole world won’t even know we went
It’s class warfare and that’ll come our way again
An integral part of the process so oft overlooked
Like a trout out of water we won’t make it out of the brook
And like a bee with no flower we’re missing the power to live
We’re aphids on plants sucking life from the land in denial
And soon the whole world won’t remember we went
It’s class warfare and that’ll come our way again
Oh, the view from the peak
Clouds float underneath
View from the peak
Clouds float underneath
Winds will blow them away

Baffled by the incapacities
In your old apartment, your whole life in totality
With the outside world set ablaze
Struggle put the populace in a daze
Trappings and temptations of excess
White American dreams dressed up in wealth; deceived again
With the outside world set ablaze
Riches by their votes, pointing fingers and blame
They know it’s a mess they can’t see through
Really they’re afraid to know what they should do
Quote-unquote success, what’s it mean to you
When no one gets a chance, or two?
Baffled by the incapacities
In your old apartment, your whole life in totality
With the outside world set ablaze
Struggle put the populace in a daze
They know it’s a mess
But they’re in love with it
Hoarding resources for generations
Pay to stifle change
And prolong suffering
They know it’s a game of global consequence

We'll Never Break
03:17
|
|||
A last line of defense you’d employed
Kept at distance through joy
How should I have known?
Your spirit and your laugh can’t be broken
Love and devotion for all this time
And yet a hole in your heart never fused up
Like you could go again and leave my side
You’d have your reason
And if I had only known what you needed
I’d say without a doubt
We’ll never break
Laying in bed and it’s three in the morning
Talking and pouring what’s inside out
We’ll forget time forget all obligation
Closed eyes are making us fill the room
I’ll ask out loud if you feel what I’m feeling
Say “if you close your eyes, do you feel small, do you lose your body?”
And when all time and all space are forgotten
And our voices fill the dark
Then we know
We’ll never break

Worried
01:55
|
|||
Worried again without our friends
We’re pacing all the time
Thoughts racing in your mind
And as it sets in this is just the beginning
Have to isolate
The time it gets away from us
And our friends getting older everyday
But trust it ends with a chance to get away
And stop worrying all the time
When we get the chance to speak our love
Out in the rain under lights and leaf chains
We stand before our crowd
Love we say it loud
And tears leave our eyes in a cathartic cry
We never said so much
But always had the love in us
And our friends getting older everyday
But trust it ends with a chance to get away
And stop worrying all the time
When we get the chance to speak our love

Way Up
03:37
|
|||
Five miles high up in the sky
With nothing by air to maintain flight
We’ve been away through all this news
But I’m never worried here with you
And still they’re hiding from the truth
But even they will feel it soon
We’re ordered by class, “the only way”
The markets decide how we behave
And up in the front, their only fear
Is for us to take a piece of theirs
So they’ll keep burying the truth
But even they will feel it soon
Way up
Way up
Anyone can deny while they’re the one in flight
Way up
We’ve been away for way too long
Hold on to hope, but know we’re wrong
Cause even though all we heard was nigh
Explosions occurred the death toll’s high
If I die now, it would be alright
If we die here, it would be alright
If only we know that some survive
Then we could die now, it would be alright

Move On
02:59
|
|||
Sun’s going down, orange glare, buildings downtown
And the fireworks rang out
Roaring long after they glow
Heavy is the air
Gives us goosebumps as we stare
And the kids on down the street
Sending orbs into the breeze
Move on
Two worlds that don’t break stride
Even when they’re all undone
Put in juxtaposition
Waiting to disagree
Take the provincial for a ride
Show them things they can’t deny
Demonstrate to undo lies
Move on
West on Osage Street
We won’t forget atrocity
Yet the people still online
To complain about the noise
Move on
In the end, they’ll be history’s only friend
Long forgotten in the wake
Of reform rebuild retake
Move on
Two worlds that don’t break stride
Even when they’re all undone
Put in juxtaposition
Waiting to disagree
Take the provincial for a ride
Show them things they can’t deny
Demonstrate to undo lies
Move on
Move on…

Backwards Behind
02:44
|
|||
Let’s feel the breeze
I want to go out tonight
Everything happened like a shot
It was halfway round the world for a time
Can feel your unease
Now you’re staying home tonight
Blame it on something or someone
But don’t say you don’t understand
But when you’re backwards
A little behind
You couldn’t be wrong
So buy your defense
A slate and shale miracle
Keep it locked safe
Put away
Cause you don’t have faith anymore
Learn to think for yourself
Cause no one else matters more
Isn’t it ironic we’d evolve to behave like this
Now we’ll be our own end
But when you’re backwards
A little behind
You couldn’t be wrong
Backwards
A little behind
You couldn’t be wrong
But when you’re backwards
A little behind
You couldn’t be wrong
Backwards
A little behind
You couldn’t be wrong

Ugly in the End
02:54
|
|||
No one said it would be ugly in the end
We fear the color of the sky again
Pinks and blues and greens
They blend and morph and spread
The color of the sky is red
Ice falling down
Melts and drowns
Bare ground
Calves with a power
Gone in hours
A sight to see
The product of our consumption
No one said it would be ugly in the end
We fear the water stinging back again
Pinks and violets
A bloom that floats and swims
We fear the water stinging back again
Luminescent gel
Bid farewell
Their cells
Siphons like it warm
Algae swarm
To feed them all
The water stinging back again
|

Out under darkness
Shooting stars
In the middle of the nowhere
Everything we could want
Where the living comes easy
By the water it’s breezy
Always
Uh huh
Nearly surrounded
8-foot fence
With a Perseid backdrop
Lost with intent
Walk cause we want to
It’s a test of will – we knew
Come what may
Fields and the labyrinth
Lose our troubles in it
Fields and the labyrinth
Find our way again
We’ll never be lonely
With our friends and our own maize
Always
Uh huh
Fields and the labyrinth
Lose our troubles in it
Fields and the labyrinth
Find our way again
We’ll never be lonely
With our friends and our own maize
Always
Uh huh

Restive Summer
04:33
|
|||
In the little house we built
With the tile stickers peeling
And the plant hooks in the ceiling
Wondering how we’d ever need more
Now we know the questions
But the answers do evade us
Like a serpent they betrayed us
Wondering how we’d ever score more
We worked ourselves up to the point where we broke
Basking in the sepia
As the rays shine on the table
How I know that we are able
Four worlds make the most of this one
So we take it day by day
Much too fickle to foresee it
To adapt we speak and breathe in
And the little things mean more than we knew
We put the work in to the point where we know
It’s been a long and restive summer
I wish it were because of the heat
And you got me feeling like a bummer
Sitting at the edge of my seat
You broke down crying at the table
I never meant to steer us this way
I’m feeling broke
And I wonder how we’ll go to sleep
How could we let it get to this with all our days?
How could I stifle all your growth?
How could we end up here - the agony displays?
We’ll have to work like twice as hard
We broke it down
We’ve broken down
The truth weighs heavy on
And I wonder how we’ll go to sleep
It’s been a long and restive summer
I wish it were because of the heat
And you got me feeling like a bummer
Sitting at the edge of my seat
You broke down crying at the table
I never meant to steer us this way
I’m feeling broke
And I wonder how we’ll go to sleep
