What’s safe to a slave What’s life to the dead What’s fire to a flame This life is death is life this life is what I’m living Go outside and play Green grass on an early grave It’s the same thing This life is death is life this life is what I’m living Shooting at the weasel Cuddle with the ferret Worship at the steeples like reaching for the carrot Everything apparent too much for you to bear it Wear it like a Purple Heart who’d you kill to make you mark Jump a shark on a showboat Starch on the old coat Floating in some water wings Sinking in your own moat Sarsaparilla float In a villa where the old pass Share the same planet but you wont pass the flask These days new wave same craze Old haze same as the same slaves Fear is the praise unclear in the change Three cheers for the pain Blue blood in the veins Half full but the better half captured and tamed In a hull songs chant whip crack and a chain Drum beat to the pace back break through the waves Never gonna change till the past fade away What’s safe to a slave What’s life to the dead What’s fire to a flame This life is death is life this life is what I’m living Go outside and play Green grass on an early grave It’s the same thing This life is death is life this life is what I’m living I’m trying not to get up in it But these days I’m locked in place Trying to find an escape within the lies These times are disguised in fear, I fear the end is near. If we could cut the self indulgence... And indulge in earth’s abundance... And rejoice in every moment, I’d condone it. But what’s happening now, it’s stressin us out, It’s making us sick, replacing illness with fear, Replacing dine in to out Replacing fresh air with stale air inside, No need to hide, keep sharing love, keep sharing light You’ve got the right, no need to fight... If you don’t live you’re gonna die If you don’t live you’re gonna die (This life is death is life this life is what I’m livin yea) Someday no way right now New day gameplay pullin at the fray Can’t stay they say the end is nigh Don’t wear the disguise this mortal is the mask and the cry That you hear in the night like a seraphim tearing a hole in the sky From the other side astral sabbatical the vessel is collateral The damage and facets got you questioning the vantage Where why who how when now Sucking on the back tit kicked by the sow Keep the fire lit weep for the dying Speak for the life cause you gonna die tryin Dig deep so the smell won’t seep through the lawn Green patch where the best friends sleep At dawn No fright when the daylight shine this nights just right this life is mine for now Loaf fish cut me up pound for pound To the pain I’ll be soakin up the sound for sound All gain when the work and the drive Gets you stepping out the door Stay safe stay alive What’s safe to a slave What’s life to the dead What’s fire to a flame This life is death is life this life is what I’m living Go outside and play Green grass on an early grave It’s the same thing This life is death is life this life is what I’m living

It goes deep We see the peace out of reach and can’t sleep Knowin’ Than the preach with no practice can’t teach Advance is between, a rock and a hard headed heart full of lost cause Fought with the lost laws caught in your thoughts Grindin’ Teeth with a locked jaw pause False hopes climbing a rope tied to nothin’ And still we frontin’ like ain’t no one know what it’s like Ain’t that somethin’ full circumference We circle back around again stubborn will but still we bend The truth is all that we pretend The fall is all in how we land We are born at war so worn Conceive this suffering (Conceive this suffering) Stifled with my heart in hand We are born to war no more Believe we are more than this (Believe we are more than this) The fall is all in how we land Fat feet flipped hangin’ over balconies And weak knees try to get up from uncertainty But certainly they run, it’s begun, they’ve begun this war And I’m torn, to be born again, I’m worn down These men are clowning around with our lives, They get money, power, and greed while all the poverty dies, Off, off with their heads, they’ve left us for dead, In a sea of tainted creatures getting out of their beds To be swept into a sea of destruction, erupting, This corruption won’t disrupt me no more, I’m so worn from this war, but no more, there’s gotta be something more, there’s gotta be something more We are born at war so worn Conceive this suffering (Conceive this suffering) Stifled with my heart in hand We are born to war no more Believe we are more than this (Believe we are more than this) The fall is all in how we land Fallin’ fallin’ again With two feet to plant Face the demands of the task at hand Grieving demons bleedin’ Out the promised land Stifled with my heart in hand Still beatin’ They cheatin’ me Reflection of the beast in me Gleefully it’s sinkin’ all its teeth in me I’m crying out for the peace that’s beseeching me It’s like I shoot the Phoenix out of the sky just to watch it rise Killing for the reprise, yeah we kill for the reprise Laughing in the ashes unabashed I triumph in the tragedy reborn I find rejoice within the agony I dig into the trash like it’s treasure come to get that Blackened by the flame and the ash I won’t sit back I never tire see I’m dancin’ in this fire I acquired we can’t help but feel inspired by it lightin’ it Fightin’ it cause some of us don’t give a shit this perseverance is the essence of my testament No rest in the chest of a warrior Wicked with a tortured soul Sickle that the reaper throw Fickle with a heart of gold Can’t be told bought or sold Tryna make sense of how this story go We are born at war so worn Conceive this suffering (Conceive this suffering) Stifled with my heart in hand We are born to war no more Believe we are more than this (Believe we are more than this) The fall is all in how we land We are born at war so worn (We are born at war so worn) We are born to war no more (We are born to war no more) Fallin fallin again Fallin fallin again

Lungs full like they never been flowin like a river bend Racing toward the coast for the taste of the ocean I could never mend Rise to the float taking in the breeze I don’t want this to end I wanna be a new person Shed your skin loves within Free the sea start again I’m feelin whitecaps stirring up my harbor They break across the jetty never left me in the water With bones like stones I only float with my lungs full I been a fisherman submitting to an old role Rolllin with a mouthful Cant tell me ain’t no fear at all Our hearts are parallel Until they connect I see you walking in my steps I feel you beating in my chest We are not different than the rest Come on admit it Break free from your history forsaken is the prison Mine is social and sexual Emotional and chemical Im sick of blood bones let me reflect your soul There’s something conscious in my animal We feasting on the animals without a single ritual Dead ringer of a gun slinging stiff drinker Deep thinker push upon the brink to be a humdinger Strip the epidermis show me some real purpose Just because you’re hurt doesn’t mean you’re cursed We polish up like an agate on the ocean floor Notion of an open door got me rolling toward the shore with Lungs full like they never been flowin like a river bend Racing toward the coast for the taste of the ocean I could never mend Rise to the float taking in the breeze I don’t want this to end I wanna be a new person Shed your skin loves within Free the sea start again I was like an enclosed ocean, A mass of beautiful fluid motion.. But my walls were higher than mountains. I went from ocean to pathetic little fountain. What was left of my water didn’t matter, I climbed up the ladder, I turned up the pressure, Took more time for pleasure, Burst open my walls so I could finally be open to it all! I don’t wanna be blind to the love, I wanna see love, Don’t wanna turn my back on the breeze, I wanna start again and free the sea.. It starts with you And it starts with me You are the roots in my trees, We are the belly of the beast, I’m gonna feast on life like it’s feasted on me, Gonna give back love that’s been given to me.. No I don’t wanna be blind to the love, I wanna see love, Don’t wanna turn my back on the breeze, I wanna start again..
