Country Lies
04:48
|

the western vs. the eastern way
the left wing vs. the right wing
we gotta break down these country lines
East Hastings,Hills of California,Occupy Europe,North/South Korea
i wanna break down your country lies
the donkey's vs. the elephants
all of the demo/ commune/ capa/ jihad/ fists
can we just break through these country ties?
the atheist, social, conserve, anarchists
scientists vs. religionists
we gotta break through our country minds
the tax evasion of the corporate shares
pay for laws to change to protect their interests
while the kids are shackled
to whichever stream their born
others entitled to whichever title they adorn
light a match
for the ones that said
"enough's enough time for a different story"
set fire to those who prosper from your woes
together change our fate

I walk the road of alone lonely ghosts..
everytime I beat myself
before I let somebody else
abuse
eyes have the oceans
the last grain of sand
of time in our hands
everytime I get it right
seems somebody has to find
a ruse

WonderWhy?

looking back maybe all I wanted to share with you
was beauty and feelings of happiness
any thoughts about if I didn't care aren't true
my consciousness to love
to protect...
but now this little child that once smiled for you
is scared and questioning..
the meaning of it all and where were you when all of this began?
s(he) holds my hand
still wonders why it's yesterday s(he) don't understand
try as you might, it will only sound like darkness..
baby that's why it's yesterday
can't be regardless.
scratch the surface of history of what is truth?
mind's eye passed down mis-generatiformation
the layers of what is and what not to do
seem to criss cross and connect
if aspiration, inspiration could gift to you
the only change you control is within
desolation, desperation & introspect
philosophy's side effects
you hold my hand
still wonderwhy it's yesterday i don't understand
you said you and i are only insignificant parts
well that's why it's yesterday that breaks my heart

baby just so you understand..
i'd love you naturally, before the mask
now listen ladies who perfected perfection
your my favourite necessary distraction
girls have mercy it's summertime..
out from cocoons like butterfly's
short shorts and wispy dresses
sweet 16 to age 95..
well i'm an opportunistic lover
but I can't seem to wash these dirty thoughts from my mind..
so heres my keys..
i'm up for a ride
baby before you walk away
could you blow me or lend me your hand?
i meant kisses and holding
girl hot damn
i cross my heart
swear
i'm not that kind of man.
now she wears that shirt just like a dress
i'm stuck in traffic, an awestruck mess
my head's a spinning like the exorcist
tight jeans, black tights and push-up tits.
gents best you let her walk on by
without a wink, a smile, a vibe or eye contact
what did you expect?
no cat calling or following
but honey if you want a piece of me
well..
you better man up
just like a lady
so here's my keys
wanna go for a ride?

Keep
03:35
|

remember when you read hallelujah?
remember when your eyes gazed upon?
i took you in my arms
the fires raged on
dusk grew black & time moved on
you were the one for me
the one i'd hold, the one i love, the one i keep
higher the stakes are now
then when we were young
full of fun naive innocence
the days fall like tears in the rain
just a camouflage of our pain
and we consume the meaning
am i still the one for you?
the one you hold, the one you love, the one you keep?
lies built from promises
they feed us crumbs
of truth of wealth made from extinction
the earth exists as whole as one
not separate or shunned

Reality?
03:36
|
|||
so lay down your black rose tonight
with a whisper of silence that deafens the mind
stand tall, be brave, put right
the vanity devouring hope, love, life
i guess i suppose we expose all of those
hiding behind the walls
of policy's that they bought
generational faux pas
history forgot
supply and demand
no means to this end
are we all out of touch?
hell we can't agree on much
poverty bestowed
obsolecense fortold
victims of greed
the slaughter for peace
think twice before you say
that's just the way
you say my faults/ reflections/ retorts
are my minds perception of my own (made-up) reality
well my reality & your reality
yes your reality
is a whored reality.
