war crimes
06:43
|
|||
|
the past is a present for a future crime
one man's truth is another's lie
when blowback shakes you outta your trance
I'll see you out there in the hinterlands
this is the blind indifference
the hollow stare, cold hard touch
except when the pain reaches our shores
do we begin to care as much
what's done is done, what's gone is gone
these are the words to the weak from the strong
what's here is there, what's now is then
and the sorrows can't be named by tongue or pen
wars are sown from reasoning
but the lust of blood is the seed
and avarice makes the garden grow
when the harvest ends, God only knows
our wars are for peace
like our freedom to be slaves
these are the words of the doublethink brigade
what's theirs is ours
in the world's oldest franchise
for the winner takes the spoils
and only losers commit war crimes
the past is the present in the future's eyes
he who dies with the most toys still dies
when time catches up with the amnesiacs
I'll see you out there in the hinterlands
what's done is done, what's gone is gone
these are the words from the weak to the strong
what's there will be here, what's then will be now
for whatever goes up, must surely come down

feel of the skin
05:20
|
|||
|
there's something in the feel of the skin
that covers my flesh and bones
tells me there's a storm coming
to flout all the thresholds
the oceans are dying, there's a buzz in my ears
from the insects in the air
but we sustain the overextend
hard-wired to sit and stare
when the front comes down
you won't find me in the crowd
the cities go for a swim
in panic and pollution
these are the last days
but your version's a cliché
your matrix is your pride
and its burning out the skies
there's something in the way you defend
your way of life to the world
makes you sound like you're the chosen
that you're special and you deserve
to cut up the forest, burn holes in the sky
to corrupt hearts and minds
as if it'll bring the return of the King
instead of death to your paradigm

In this race to the future
is a hidden odd that you'll draw
a card out of the prison
the velvet panopticon
there is a time in space
when stars align, planets cross
in silence it germinates
like a bud under the frost
out in the jungle lies a secret
a calendar waiting to be solved
the pattern breeds a repetition
empires rise and then they fall
we are the dreamers of a fiction
a shadow world on the cave wall
and the cold mist of separation
instead of all is one and one is all

plankton

|

|
the plankton is the domino
that brings the oceans down
I see the men with hearts of gold
go scurry underground
we built a house of tender sticks
we plucked up from the hills
and now at last the consequence
as the giant axis tilts
every tree has a thousand leaves
blowing solos in the breeze
listen close for them whispering
of the things that come in threes

los angeles
07:02
|
|||
|
in this little world inside of me
fame is all that I can see
can cure this near constant dis-ease
dearest los angeles
I'd like to blow you one last kiss
for I loved you like a scar loves its wrist
in the last days next to the shore
I saw a figure take form
a hungry ghost trying to fill every pore
it still feeds on those I left behind
because desperation gets normalized
till you can't tell the shallow from sublime
this is the world that we feared
the deep, deep sleep of the sincere
but love awaits, love is strong and more real
than the darkness or the lies we feel
there's a river flowing over me
a subtle kind of knowing
that soon we all may be refugees
the elders said it was coming down
but we turned away and built our towns
and now we can't get food up from the ground

the current storm
04:40
|
|||
|
I can see the shadow now
gently made by the clouds
I can feel the angel there
as I take flight into the air
the dreams become just as real
as waking life behind the veil
bold in your lucidity
you vanquish all captivity
it is time for destiny's
sword to finally come unsheathed
it will slice down heart + home
as forest fires clear for new growth
there is only one shield
to save you from the angel's steel
you must purify your heart
and forgive the source of your scars
everything will change in time
a massive shift was prophesied
the current will sweep all away
but harder still to those in chains
if you're not bound to shadow dreams
but live in the evidence unseen
then the tide will bring calm resolve
and the crashing waves will cleanse your thoughts
for you will know a greater peace
and what all of these changes mean
you will see the evil ones
lost in separation
and know that chaos has its way
to bring about more ordered states
and if you survive the current storm
then you will live to see the end of war

time machine
05:29
|

|
my car is a time machine
goes from a to z at light speed
so this is life, upon the screen
made of coldest chrome, bright plastic sheen
our food grows, in a bubble town
made of chemicals and oil from the ground
can you see the world behind the sun?
for this is maya-illusion
the pixel paints a pen, with no easy way out
we're lost in wonderland
but you can eat your way down
there's no more king to crown
but he's still in our cells
hard crash the underground
b4 the final berg melts
my star is a private dream
no one knows what these eyes have seen
so this is life, upon the screen
made of pixel drones and happiness machines

through grace
06:59
|
|||
|
a feeling stirs in this silent room
that someone is watching everything I do
I can hear it speaking on all sides
whispering a prayer for the end of time
you want to hear the Truth but do you have ears?
you want to see the sun but are blinded by fear
still waiting for the Word to come on down
but movements never grow above ground
and through the love of grace I loose control
on everything I've ever known
the quickening is on its way
so meditate on somewhere safe
I've banished all doubt from my mind
that we're alone when we scream and cry
there's a Listener who hears everyone
and is waiting for us to stop throwing stones
and now the calm, before the storm
when we look back, into our past
the trail of tears, that brought us here
the choice is yours, learn or ignore
as long as I breathe, I'll be questioning
I want to hear the Truth, but do I have ears?
I want to see the Sun, but am I blinded by fear
still waiting for the Word to come on down
but movements never grow above ground
I have walked for years on the Crimson Path
and shed a tear for each and every step
while for many a night I felt completely alone
there was always One who carried my soul
and through the love of Grace I loose control
on everything I've ever known
the quickening is underway
so get yourself to somewhere safe

the Ocean
05:42
|
|||
|
sometimes I need you as a Father
sometimes the birds in the trees
sometimes I need you like a Mother
and others, all that lies in between
there is, an Ocean to discover
and evidence of things unseen
and I, will always hunger
to swim, deep inside that Sea
but I'm ever such a little one
still trying to hide from Your Love
and though I long to be a hollow reed
desire still fills me
sometimes I need you as a Lover
sometimes as a gentle breeze
sometimes I wish you'd take over
every single breath that I breathe
some pray for tests, some pray for signs
some pray for the world at the end of time
but all I ask for, all I pray
is to be burned away in the fires of Grace
for I've chased the fiend in the flesh
burned out the candle at both ends
heartbroken so many times
its as wide open as the sky
sometimes you're lost to the meaning
concealed, in calamity
sometimes you're pushed past the breaking
just to find, if you still believe
because we're ever such little ones
still trying to hide from His Love
and though we long to be hollow reeds
desire supercedes
