Youarewho (2009)
AMERICAN SCREAM As I move along the asphalt street And I think about what is underneath And the buildings block the clouded sky As the pain drips down a clouded mind There are the status cars There are the working scars There are the homeless men Sleeping in the garbage bin The building blocks him From sleeping in And the truth about it Comes creeping in An American Scream I sit at home with my television peace And I think about what is underneath And the money is calling to get me high As the pain drips down a clouded mind There is my job at the company making nothing Day in and day out And the weekend’s coming The building blocks me From sleeping in And the truth about us Comes creeping in An American Scream
FOREIGN SELF Upward mobility waste of time Just what are you slaving towards Greed, brother it can deceive us The lies false pride Broken human Have we forgotten what we were given Curious idea, changing the numbers Kill the poor its in the budget Shift supply, create a demand Set up sides, confusion plans Broken human Have we forgotten what we were given Curious Money, profit over everything Cancer, population increasing Selfish control, a plastic goal Selfish control- where is your soul Broken human Have we forgotten what we were given
NEW DAY So what is your position What are you feeling inside Are you faced with indecision Is it hard to see the light Is your mind a closed book Is your way a clipped wing Who raises your fear This is a new day This here is our way This is a new day Take the torch How does freedom look How does it feel How does free taste How can we make it real Is your mind a closed book Is your way a clipped wing Who raises your fear Is your mind a closed book Is your way a clipped wing Who raises your fear, set it free This is a new day This here is our way This is a new day Take the torch
SINK HOLE Be careful looking for truth The pool is deep and dripping red Plastic struggle and hunger Tall cold and pressed Shaking hands Puppets, masks, then the soul Multinational thought control Puppets, masks, never my soul I’ll never fall in to the corporate hole Stronger signs, forgotten light Misguided mankind, no power Cling to machines just to survive Real relationships to earth, gone sour Puppets, masks, then the soul Multinational thought control Puppets, masks, never my soul I’ll never fall in to the corporate hole Puppets, masks, never my soul I’ll never fall in to the corporate hole Pulling the future closer The earth being pushed under Leaders promise better days Deeper fools just wording mouths Shrinking life as the buildings grow Lies far too deep to pull out Lies far deeper than we’ll ever know Lies we live cause we’re never told Lies to change what we’re about Lies we’ve got to stop if we ever want out Puppets, masks, then the soul Multinational thought control Puppets, masks, never my soul I’ll never fall in to the corporate hole Puppets, masks, never my soul
SOLVENTS Toxic leakage, poison in streams Into the water supply Economized profit, poisoning dreams How are you sleeping at night Toxic gases causing disease Breathe a pain filled sigh What about the masses, the press release Create another fat lie Solvents, pesticides, carbon monoxide Consequence taking life Who’s going to save the newborn child Ozone depletion, hole in the sky Natural disasters on the rise Budget controlling the crops we buy Residues and chemical dyes How much more can we swallow I want to live to see tomorrow How much more can we swallow I want to live to see tomorrow Solvents, pesticides, carbon monoxide Consequence taking life Who’s going to save the newborn Solvents, pesticides, carbon monoxide Consequence taking life Who’s going to save the newborn child
STILL Even though, we taint the ground And ever loud manmade sound Eat poison, think poison thought I still have hope that can’t be bought In my blood rivers run Cold wind I breathe in deep Still inside the morning sun Still mother’s soil feeds me Still mother’s soil feeds me Even though, we’ve sold the ground And scraped the surface down Chased life out, except the ones who bought I still have hope and freedom of thought In my blood rivers run Cold wind I breathe in deep Still inside the morning sun Still mother’s soil feeds me Still mother’s soil feeds me
YOUAREWHO Computer chip clean room dust free Stressing the quota and sexual tease Saving more toys to fill the void In the middle of the night, insides pulling Alcohol sedation push truthful away A shrinking reflection the mirror says Whoareyou Combing short hair doo and musky perfume Neck tye-lenol over the counter consume Western education push truthful away A shrinking reflection the mirror says Whoareyou A shrinking reflection the mirror says Whoareyou
WONDERER There they were, those indian pictures Alive, people dancing, before the massacres Of conquering man, ticking with those clocks Come to tame the land with money and metal box So, we can’t go back but I have to wonder So technologically advanced, has it drugged us under So, we can’t go back so we have to wonder So technologically entrapped has it dragged us under Those weathered old old hands, a community that understands Nothing was missing, just miles of open land No intricate machines, no oil driven motor fly No homeless loitering, just animals and open sky So, we can’t go back but I have to wonder So technologically advanced, has it drugged us under So, we can’t go back so we have to wonder So technologically entrapped has it dragged us under Has it dragged us under Dragged us under
Bloodlife (1993)
OUTSIDE Watching newscast, I start to cry Rock bottom is long, long past I wonder why Why, why, why, I wonder why Does a high rise turn you on Does cement keep you alive And out your window look what’s wrong And wonder why Why, why, why Take my mind off of it Take care of people, that’s it Peace of mind and heart in it Take care of people, that’s it Out of war, out of space Out of money, out of the race Save us, save earth Does a high rise turn us on Does cement keep us alive And out our windows we look what’s wrong Got to wonder why Why, why, why Remove the greed, know the heart Plant the seed don’t rip yourself apart Its a good time to let go of the past Forget the differences take off the mask I’ll take mine off, you take yours off Together, take off the mask Does a high rise turn us on Does cement keep us alive And out our windows we look what’s wrong Got to wonder why Why, why, why
SOMETIMES Feeding sickness, and feeding the emptiness Restless and helpless To weak to get over this So sink in deeper Down inside nowhere Pitiful and sorrowful Down to the bottom And then what... Sleep Its over And it is, and it sure is Yeah... self... Ah sometimes...

SLOWER Whistling wings such wonderful things They fly and fall and run as in a dream They’re real and with half open eyes I can still hear the sound of their cries Whistling wings such wonderful things They fly and fall and run as in a dream Their real and with half open eyes I can still hear the sound of their cries Beauty, real beauty Beauty, real beauty
Its there for me Whistling wings, what love they bring They cry and laugh and yet they always seem to be in touch with the unspoken ties that keep the unseen universe in stride with beauty Real beauty Its there for me
SEPARATION Big city light And I’m so lonely Such a lit up night Yet I can hardly see I work alone all day I’ve got no time to stay One by one pass by me Careful not to notice Separation psychosis Single parents And broken families Working parents And broken memories Alcoholic drug abuse Sexaholic child abuse Watch the propaganda news Everyone with different truths Separation psychosis
THIS IS NOW Boundaries, manicured and pruned Honed down Voracious appetite for exotic luxury Its not for me That was then, this now That was then and this is now and I’m making a change in my own life Making a change in my own right Yet the corporate hands deplete the land They’re turning the fertile into infertile Trade it for cash, build up the stash Build up trash, its going to crash Its not for me That was then, this now Remember when, remember how You want it to be How is it for you and me And where are we now It’s coming back Where are we now
BLOODLIFE Into the heart Its coming to mind Into the heart I’m going inside Into the heart Blood, breathe, light, growth Soul Alive Into the heart In to the heart The water in my blood And the air in my lungs The warmth inside The growing child Growing inside The mother earth The mother earth And the father sky The father above the sky Blood, breathe, light, growth Soul Alive The blood The life The bloodlife
WE ARE ALL RELATED We are all related
Existence/Here We Are EP (1989)
EXISTENCE Rotate around the pain and stay warm But for the peace can we touch the pain directly Would we rather be warm Growing cold growing old, but still warm Touch directly and feel the ice melt in harmony Love today, peace today and it exists Love today, peace today and they feel good Peace is a word so overused but it exists Love is a word so over killed But it feels good Embrace the one we hate the one we despise Let them play the game separate Try not to continue just let it out and let it go Soon we see that love, love, love, love, love exists Even this late Love today, peace today and it feels good Peace today, love today and they exist Peace is a word so over killed and it exists Love is a word so overused and it still feels good
AWKWARD Expansion of cement Across the grassy green life Amount of dust on the common mind A tear of clouds Across the greying sky A terrible dust to close the open mind Join hands in soul Thinking from the heart Join hands in soul again Awkward life Live with diseased minds Awkward life Became awkward Help me love Our limits of human love Join hands in soul Thinking from heart Join hands in soul again Awkward life Live with diseased minds Awkward life Become awkward Help me love Our limits of human love Join hands in soul Thinking from the heart Thinking from the heart again Join hands
HERE WE ARE Depression cold pain Material gain Specialization separation Cold blood lessons I face each day Obsessed people The industrial way I feel the world deep at heart Humbling me grateful The water, The air, The warmth, The earth Provide Here we are now, now I won’t hurry up for the future I won’t live this life from the past I’m beginning to see life naturally In the present pressure does not last The water, The air, The warmth, The earth Drink the water it’s life Breathe the air inside Feel the warmth of light, Respect the earth outside We are natural Beneath this industry Beneath the chemicals, The animal cries freedom Release Here we are Drink the water it’s life Breathe the air inside Feel the warmth of light, Respect the earth outside Here we are now, now
SERENITY The dawn and a violet purple sky Among the living trees The beauty in the silence Look upon the peaceful eye Living in time has made you old Among your wounded knees Sometimes it seems You don’t feel at all Sometimes it seems you don’t see at all Calm and serene Calm Nobody wants to listen They’ve already been told Nobody wants to listen They’ve already been sold Calm and serene Calm, Calm
Spiritual Vision (1988)
INSOMNIA Singing mantras in my head The last means for me to live The path of my direction just seemed to stop dead And introspect and intellect and dialect couldn’t provide a way to live Just cut me down and watched my life infect neglect and rot inside stomach And filled it up with maggots But death wouldn’t come so easy Singing mantras the last means to see it through It feels clear with me with you Like a song which draw my tears But if I let down this meditation Of Spiritual reality Exhausted Insomnia
A VISION I touch the twilight of the view I move my mind to something new So far away I’ve gone away Inside my eyes the truth A million miles of truth One eye slides through a two way glass While the other one hides in a reflection of the mask Open up the vision, close up the incision For a place inside you The only place that wades through the tide of shame, the winds of pain Awaits a lovely place I watch my body lose its shape I couldn’t ever feel the same So deep inside So clean inside I lie awake in fear My ground would shake with fear Awaits a lovely place Open up the vision
THE MOON I remember a beautiful name In a dream moving slowly An open light to soothe the pain An open light she sees inside me So fragrant Tielle you came from heaven A fragrance I could reach only in heaven I want this for reality I want it with all the life in me But I can’t I can’t and the deathless pain is back Open my eyes and Open my wounds Cry to the moon Cry to the moon Open my life I know its nothing new So I cry to the moon Cry to the moon Ice cold hands are on my face And wake me up from this dream Ice cold hands of an icy cold race wake me up with a banshee crying scream I don’t want it for the life in me Without a chance the undying pain is back Cry to the moon
GIVING IN If you left a man at sea for a thousand years Would anybody miss him, would there be any tears To change the shape of a liquid and to change the shape of the mass But I wish I had a place inside your chest Where I could change the shape, where I could reassess The lie, the lie in life I feel it happening, I sense the giving in Feel the knife feel it cut so deep Feel the wind and the cold, cold breeze I feel it happening, I sense the giving in I could join you in a celebration of the days of hope We could sing and dance with horizons In the days of hope To change the shape of a liquid, to change the shape of the mass Birds fly on the heavenly ocean, fish swim out at sea See the sky in the peace and silence; the clouds bring out what lies beneath The lie the lie in life I feel it
DECISIVE EFFECT One small look into those eyes is all it took tonight One quick brush to the side and you were in the light Two small shapes you could not believe Oh she likes to tease I kissed that face We kissed for days I kissed you in every place With pleasure screams in all of my dreams You took my name You took my shame You stayed away from those stupid games With pleasure screams in my dreams The decisive effect The process of decision is falling out on me Rising from the sea, its my enemy The decisive effect Once I knew that pretty taste I knew you’d have to stay On my bed so fair she lays She has so much to say Two small shapes you could not believe Oh she likes to tease I kissed that face We kissed for days I kissed you in every place With pleasure screams in all of my dreams You took my name You took my shame You stayed away from those stupid games With pleasure screams in all my dreams The decisive effect The process of decision is falling out on to me Rising from the sea Its my enemy The decisive effect
FOREVER A crimson rose on my bed Pushed away what I gave for you and the love we had Silence and hate Silence and sadness and hate With faith and promise A mystical metamorphosis She changes the game to whatever she wants from it Through crimson eyes you feel the night Alone beneath the sky for the first time Crashing gray clouds and pouring rain and soaring pain With faith With forever in mind I stagnate and grind Forever is such a long time I think I should know why Forever why and Why forever
KISS OF DEATH Touch me with a kiss of death You hold me, you pull me in I’m steaming with your sickness, kneeling in your pain I want to push you away, push you away Gasping, gasping for breath and choking, choking to death Again Kiss me with a touch of death You hold me by the head, You take me in, And I’m dead I’m dead, dead, dead, Dead Gasping, gasping Smell the lust as it drips from fingers then sit against the wall as the death kiss lingers Gasping, gasping
YOU The grass just looks so green today And people pass with faces of stone But you try to look with passion So that no one would know Go ahead and make a sound When no one is around its just you Just you And wash me out with a walk in the wind It would turn my soul inside out It would turn the picture upside down It would Its just you
TWO SHADOWS I see them off in the distance And it reminds me of a time When we thought more of romance than the blood we feel now They touch and talk of time in a distance And it blinds me deep inside When I knew I was thinking more of romance Than what I seem to feel now And time, time Time will take it’s toll Two shadows standing face to face I must be out of place Two Shadows They move in silk and lace I see them off in the distance They seem so far away A distant land off in the distance And it reminds me of a day Two Shadows They move in silk and lace They move in silk and lace
