“Life’s getting heavy kid
Why’d you put it on a shelf?
It’s all gonna fall on your face man.
Spinning in dizzy reflection
Catching snowflakes there’s misconceptions
She can tie her shoes all by herself now.
Standing on clouds of inception
Looking over misconceptions
Dry your tears honey
The suns gonna rise in Memphis
Maybe we could get some breakfast?
Rex Land he don’t look like Elvis
But he damn well should!
Life’s getting heavy kid
Why’d you put it on a shelf?
It’s all gonna fall on your face man.”

"Dam in the river Amstel
defining my faith by the harbor
I was captured paying the bridge toll
I remember the smell of the water
It's 1581 within these lands round here
A man from Spain & a gun
Wanted to see me disappear
I don't want to question this
I'm not a rebel
I question the inquisition
Then again I don't want to be
Some dead man
There's blood on the ground here
I start to worry
Turning my head inside out
This iconoclastic fury
The balance of power is real
When two normal men
Find themselves Here
There's blood on the ground
It's red like that throne
The jewels on your crown
I don't want to question this
I'm not a rebel
I question the inquisition
Then again I don't want to be
Some dead man"

"Can't sit on the other side
Can't look in mirror
So hollow otherwise
Stand up to your
I know
I've been here before
They can't stand on the other side
They can't look in the mirror
So hollow otherwise
They'll fill you up their fear
I know
I want to set you free
I don't want to wait
I can't wait, Can't wait
Anymore
My people are subjected to violence
We no longer sit here & be quiet
They want us to lay down & take it
We WON'T"

Vinyl Ain't Dead

" Let's start a collective love
Compilations of affection
Inside of a vibe
A vinyl collection
The tall grass it stings
Teach me the blues
Ain't it easy to loose our shoes
Rock in my toes
Dirt leaves a trail
Back into Roll
The tall grass it stings
I walk this bass line alone
Cuz i know
You won't walk me home
I said "It's fine, it's alright"
I've been alone this whole damn time
It's easy breathing
Summer time sunshine jazz
What if Miles Davis is all we've ever had?
You know i'd be glad
Picture this if you will
Latin constellations
Each star writes itself into fiction
I want flaminco screaming
"Take me Spanish Caravan
Yea i know you can"
I walk this bass line alone
Cuz i know
You won't walk me home
I said "it's fine, you can go"
Fall into that fault line
On the west coast."

" Are you tired?
Do you hate me?
Sorry I ask
You sound salty when you speak
That's why I wanna love you more
Have to leave
Wouldn't be well if i stayed
You're clever & quick
With a laugh like razor blades
Cutting into me
In a beautiful way
That's why i wanna love you more
Rise to the fall
Skinny legs & all
With eyes so big
Why don't you see me at all?
That's why i wanna love you more
I sustain patience
Within your distance
While wearing my consciousness
Read through my dreams
Wearing nothing but instincts
My heart & mind
Collide
Honey I don't care
No matter what you do
Always be yourself
Seek The truth
I don't care if you
You don't love me too
That's why i wanna love you more
