Verses
Ocean scientists propose that man might speak to whales;
It seems to me an honest one must tell us bitter tales.
They would lament the changes to the water they live in
That can make them lose their way and burn their very skin
Must you do these things to live? They all might want to know.
We say man must have growth or die; we have to let it go.
They ask, does growth sustain all life on land above the shore?
We tell them no, but from it comes the profit, that drives more.
The whales enquire if profit could restore their happy state?
We say these concepts are too big for us to demonstrate.
We tell them profit feeds man's dreams, some think it sets us free.
What do you think, asks a whale, could man's dreams feed me?
Chorus
Why do you have to hurt the sea? the cetaceans want to know.
We say we must have growth or die; we have to let it go.
“Most Holy Magistrate
Can you believe
Why I hold your everlasting hope
In a gilded winnowing sieve”
“Dim the lights, and I'll tell you a secret
Close your eyes, and I'll tell you to keep it
On my inside, the lights seem low
And I know my hard times are getting closer”
“Another Sunday morning
The sun’s just about to rise
Jump up at 6 AM and wipe to sleep out of my eyes
Out in the cold cold snow to get the Sunday news”
“I spend my time makin' money
And that money payin' bills
Just to wind up too damn tired
From the same ol' shit, I feel.”
“It is unshakable and not moved but solid. Knowing that you will be able to stand...”
“# A Mind-Full Mess
Mind-full-ness,
Such a mind-full mess
When thoughts of you”
“(Verse 1)
I started at the bottom, just a shadow in the room, a certified disaster, comple...
You were the local prodigy, equations in your sleep, while I was digging ditches...
I burned the midnight oil, threw my sanity away, cracking open heavy books until...”
“Title- A Heart Break
(Verse 1)
I liked you
You liked me”
“I see the sadness crossing your face,
And I'm the one who ruined the space.
Some things that went way too far,
But thank God for giving me you as my star.”
“[Verse1] Its been a long time since I could hear myself think
The thoughts of kindness and love and a happier life
Filled with pleasure of knowing I'm wanted and loved
As a tempting thought of someone from sunrise to midnight”
“From one moment my life has become an anulment. Something no one should ever fee...
I regret going out that day and night didnt think I'd have this fight, not from...
Feels like an End of the World feelings the outside haters always add to the ree...
Pain pain pain no shame I dont see no rain.”
“Spoke of her passing as I rarely do
Looked down and noticed I’m in the nude
Clothes all stripped away
Psychotic passion on display”
