No One Knows 04:00
Underneath our feet are those who used to breathe. With their skin and bones underneath our toes. And who to believe with all the tales they weave? No one knows. Only Skin and Bones, From bassinet to our casket we're told. No one Knows. Only Skin and Bones. From bassinet to our casket we're told. From bassinet to our casket. Underneath the street are those who used to be. But no one knows. They’re just skin and bones. And who will you be on the day you’re free? No one knows, only skin and bones. Who will you see on the day you’re free? No one knows. Only skin and bones. From bassinet to our casket we're told. From bassinet to our casket.

I’ll ride out the sunset in water and wind. I’ll ride out unaware of where I’ve been. And there might be a time to step into your mind and find where we belong. Don’t go. Don’t run along. Don’t say I told ya so. Don’t go and spoil the now with all that logic, hon. Don’t think I don’t know because I know…oh I know. And there might be a time to open up your mind. Inside the circle is sound. Inside the tide is where no hope is ever found. Thats where hope goes to drown. And there might be a time to open up your mind and fight.

When we split from the vine When dark and light are first combined There’s some kind of call at night. Because there even though we’re alone or we’re cold our thoughts are privatized... for a while. We won’t be talking of the same or the usual. We won’t be talking of a way to seem acceptable. The toxic sky keeps moving and the clouds blend with the fog. We had all of the clarity and now all that clarity’s gone in one long shift night among my kind. Shifting at night, at peace in our minds, only When we split from the vine (by splitting atom or design), there’s no way all this is right. Being only consoled by the few who have told their thoughts are kind-of like mine. We won’t be talking about the same or the usual. We'll, shed our skin out in the light and perceptible. Preparing for intruding. It all starts with alarms. Be prepared for another piece of finite time to be gone. Never to come back.

1692 Moon 05:10
It's an ancient way of thought, "who defeats is who rules" But, our destiny cannot be to obey it It's a system of flaws a system written by prudes It's a system designed to keep us all down here While your here get your council from the moon Eye to eye in the night sky When you choose to get council from the moon and see what you do Ashes to ashes dust to dust our ancestors are speaking to us We grow so tired, we grow so tired One day they'll realize...Cotton M and his ilk with their weak wounds wrapped in silk, with their long hand and their noose and the fire that's only bringing us nearer! Step inside of the night mind when you choose to seek council from the moon and let them see you. We grow so tired We've grown so tired

I have everything that you could ever want I have everything you could ever need Be it tame be it gore Its all yours I have everything that's ever been And I have everything that will ever will be It's yours A window into all that is false An instant gaze into regret into the making I have everything you could ever need I have everything you will never be I will feed you day and night at your desk its yours

Years ago I gave my soul to someone The narcissist who still exists is no fun I didn't understand who she was That version of me exists in a dream and change it all It wasn't me, it was a dream If could I would chase her down If i could I would make her close her mouth It wasn't me it was a dream

In between I ask this place if it’s heard my words and stays. ‘Cuz I think within this place there are eyes among the walls I see you’ve come back to life just to bother me. I see you’ve nothing else left but your eternal sorry. And this place is saying so by bothering. Saying so by wandering. Saying so even though it is void of a mind or a body. (Once I was you) So it seems to me this place… it has me within its its gaze. Answer me and make it plain because I can hear you. Come to life to bother me you don’t know I’m whispering. And the secret that I keep is that I know you see me.

Spirits 03:55
Come down and hear a story, of a girl who never knew of her power and her beauty until she found that she was turning blue Nothing left to say or do She found that she was turning blue Her mind rejected layed in this house expecting nothing Her mind expanded her life demanding nothing Her ghost collected and all her powers were for nothing but fools Run if you can. Her mind rejected her eyes expressing nothing Come down and hear a story of a girl who never knew That her POWER was her beauty Then she finally knew before she turned blue

Give me your hands, I want to try and meditate. So we can view our lifetimes from far far away. Give me your hands. Give me something that’s as deep as passing of time. Give me your mind to twist into forever. Hand me your self and trust... (trust..right?) Hand me it all I’ll try….
