What About The Body

breaking banks to buy a mountain
building bikes on your allowance
ride onto geographical solutions
you face the same problem when you get there
that dude's in all the mirrors
riding off opposite the sunset
left wing, right wing, what about the body?
head, heart, lungs, legs, land on feet
work, live, love, breathe and eat
work, live, love, breathe and eat
left wing, right wing, what about the body?
left wing, right wing, what about the body?
work, live, love, breathe and eat
work, live, love, breathe and eat
uh-oh, we must explain ourselves
we get called in to express ourselves
it's like a drug that makes you scared of yourself
and everything is up in the air right now
like everything could get dissolved in water
this is where it makes less sense
here we are on vacation
in photographic memories
here we are on vacation
in photographic memories
we're a work in progress
here we are on vacation
left wing, right wing what about the body?
head, heart, lungs, legs land on feet
work, live, love, breathe and eat
work, live, love, breathe and eat
left wing, right wing, what about the body?
left wing, right wing, what about the body?
work, live, love, breathe and eat
work, live, love, breathe and eat
it's like a drug that makes you scared of yourself

Reflections - Part 1

november wind, she says
what I wish we knew now
the spring sung on our hands
and the late summer sun
gave birth to a spark
that tore down a building
i have to ask
every day, every month, every minute of the year
feels like, a sound that i can not hear
a ghost of another year
a sound that i can not hear
what color will you see?
a sound that i can not hear
the fear and the whispering
what color will you see?
this is one life
it's an only chance
is it a freedom
or reflections in black and white
this is your life
can you take a chance
is it a freedom?
the fear and the whispering
this is one life
it's an only chance
is it a freedom?
is it a freedom?

In remembrance of those
Who learned of their freedom
2 and a half years after the date
A reminder that freedom is something we must create
A reminder that slavery in any form
And anything that does not recognize our mutual value
Is a crime against our humanity
A reminder that freedom can not be issued
Nor Justly given or taken away
We stand on the precipice of a climate and culture shift
For which there is no precedent
If you stand for nothing
You will fall for anything
When Everything is at stake
Idolizing the appearance of allyship will not suffice
Polite artifice And insincere disguise will be belied
Hiding behind
Hashtags banners signs
bumperstickers will not be the true test of your hearts sincerity aligned with the plight humankind
There is more bravery in you
than you have ever known you would need
or even have the strength to muster
Listen to this voice as if it were coming from inside you
Clamoring for our rights to our own bodies
To a love our children and we ourselves so richly deserve
The freedom of mind and thought
To direct these bodies soundly
In unison is ours to unearth
For our collective well being
Conjurers of word sound power
Arrayers of light and voice
Meet me
Where music meets melody
Weaving harmony from discord
The times are calling for the iron in our blood
The unsheathing of our tongues not to draw it
The blood spilled haphazardly across this land
Is calling for our unrelenting commitment to each other
The soft and tender parts of our hearts
that hold space for us all will be our greatest strength
Now is not the time to fall asleep idly at the wheel
Too many souls have been bled dry to fuel that engine still
Stolen American dreams from unwilling immigrants
What but justice and a more just us can fill that emptiness
Who drew
Gum and resin from the pines to be made into turpentine
Who made of
Georgia wet clay from riverbanks bricks to form this great empire
These will be made whole
These will be made whole
Call upon the strength and endurance
That gives us pure sense
Eternal vigilance is called to speak to
What we have endured what we have survived
Silence will not save you
You are being called by your first name to turn the world upside down
Or on its right side
Decriminalize Blackness
Decriminalize Humanity
We will not stand for slavery by another name
overseer politics will not be tolerated
When my freedom is your freedom
When your freedom is our freedom
We are not and our children are not expendable
Nor will we fall prey to the fiendishly rational
There is no criminal race
The criminal is race
And All that delineates
Separates us
From knowing it is grace we share this space
Our freedom is no mistake
Our loyalty is to our shared humanity
This Reconstruction gon stay x2
You can't convict me of vagrancy
when I'm home anywhere I am
We are desecrating barriers to our achievement of a land
That honors all inhabitants and values that we can
We who fought for our lives
to fight and die
for this country
To come home
to fight for our lives
to die for this country
We speak life
.
Whose gon take slavery out the constitution
Whose gon take slavery out your constitution
We are planting seeds yielding harvest of our own volition
The love for us Grants us permission 3x

Mundane Irony
06:59

floating through the beauty
there's something lost on him
holding weight of each day
just to get to the next
a mundane irony
hold on to small moments
and let it go with a smile
don't pretend or waver
just laugh a bit with me
a mundane irony
take him, lose the song
sweet steps stop time
we're breathing, we're lying
traveling through the living, the dying
grasping at the song, the beauty
clinging to the noise and weight
we're breathing, we're lying
traveling through the living, the dying
grasping at the song, the beauty
let go of the noise and weight
all the useless utterings
can you find sublime in the noise
trickling all the glitter
and glimpses of fantasy
some kind of irony

look 'round
there's no here nor there
i'm somewhere between
is there no me without you
no me without you
is there no me without you
see love
you shine bright
a bridge to the light
there is no me without you
no me without you
there is no me without you
there is
a red string
can that be enough
is there no me without them?
no me without them?
is there no me without you?
we sing this song to
the place in our hearts
we sing this song to
the love from the start
look 'round
here can be everywhere
it's some where between
there is no me without you
there is no me without you
there is no me without you
see love
we shine bright
a bridge to the light
there is no me without you
no me without you

Hyperballad

We live on a mountain, right at the top
This beautiful view from the top of the mountain
Every morning, I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit, a way to start the day
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
It's early morning, no one is awake
I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
I Imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks
And when it lands
Will my eyes be closed or open?
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
