1.
My body a weapon Battleground of a nation To bend a knee in submission Or be the fist of resistance How could a man bring so much hate Into a house of love? Leave so much pain behind A congregation to be left In a wake To look into the void and wonder How this began A family dismantled; Overcome! We come together We sing as one Rise up and say their names A warm rain Raps on cold shallow graves Solemn tongues Will utter their names South Carolina, Goddamn! My brothers My sisters My family My friends In darkness, we see the light

Frozen faces Tired eyes They could care less if you live or die Endless cycles without resolution Convalescence on a city street Blankets of snow Unbearable heat You expect anything to change? How dare you say That their lives aren't worth a goddamn thing? Hollow walls Plastered gray Sit in silence Waiting for the grave It's easier to push it all in the corner Far away Broken system Endless pain Push them outside To sleep in the rain Mental healthcare is a fucking joke He's not my child That's not my son He never came home from Vietnam Drown in pills to get to sleep Eaten alive by PTSD How dare you say? That their lives aren't worth a goddamn thing? (Eaten alive) You live They die But you'll never look into their eyes I'll show you resolution Revolution, now!

Constellations Our voices will carry still Long shadows form As the sun sets On integrity and hopefulness The restless lull Of voices muse Under pressure of social cues And we partake In shaking ease I follow as you lead Stumbling in darkness As our bodies collide Voices caught in hollow throats I am trapped within your eyes We were star-crossed constellations That’s what you led me to believe Wake me from the haze and sweat I am fighting just to breathe Wide mouths gape open To taste what’s undeserved You’re becoming obsessed With the obtaining of flesh No remorse Nothing earned I put trust in good intentions I put trust in what was said I put trust in a boy who created a toy Out of the drugged girl On the bed But with these hands I will fight To the death For the sake of the girl Who can’t catch her breath Catch her breath Long shadows form As the sun sets On integrity and hopefulness Long shadows form As the sun sets But our voices will carry still

Tannins 02:42
Can you feel the wood grain And the pain in my skin Bleeding like tannins To haunt me again Will I become a forest With my kin at my side? Or maybe just driftwood Washing up with the tide Can you count my rings On the day that I died? Weathered grey Broken limbs The lines under my eyes Will the stressed have been worth it? Inescapable, it seems Will all I have in the end is sand And broken dreams? The wind, it blows My limbs, set in stone
