Sweat and fire, tears and anger, hear the gears turning, hear the earth dying
You **** the river so the machines won't rust, the only red you want is from the heart
Taste the iron in your mouth, steel yourself for for the metallic rapture, sell your pain for a dollar!
40 or 40,000 hours, all that matters is that your labor is sold
All that matters is the soles of your feet and your soul are the same

We call ourselves the masters of the universe, the barriers of weather, gravity and terrain have been blown apart, just like the gaping death in the ozone
But before the evolutionary chiropractor found us to straighten our backs the trees kissed the moon and before life was born mountains made love to her
10,000 years before we stole kisses from her to power the A/c unit desert flowers lived a thousand thousand generations in Death Valley

I am a simple man
I follow the path the universe leads me, the path that resists the leasts
I am a simple man
I swim up stream I need to reach her mouth
Let the water smooth the years from my feet, let the stream wash the old blood away
Cool water is the cure for my hot head, all words are kindling
Even in summer leaves fall from trees

Batter me with the ocean, take me to the hurricane
I love the smell of the power of nature, those dark clouds that fill my nose, that foreboding humidity
Time is natures way of making sure everything doesn't happen at once, still I need you to take me to that Glorious nocturne, take me to dark churning ocean, but always remember the blood attracts sharks and that they are starving

It's never dark in newark, the ruddy sickly glow of money spent keeps us safe from night
We used to depend on her, her white light reflections was our protection from fear and wonder

I feel the synapses and glue holding my brain together loosening, I'm not sure where I am or what I am
I don't think these pills will do much but it's worth a shot
my arms are bare because I'm a coward, not because I fear the cold or the sharpness of a blade
I fear the cold in your eyes, looks that I wish could ****
I fear the sharpness of your voice
I fear you more than anything in the world
But I need you, even as my home crumbles I'm desperate to show you what I did with the kitchen
Please god approve approve!

Notice notice notice notice
Notice the wind in the tress and the wind in his voice
Put your phone in your pocket for a moment and see the snow, rejoice
But go back to your pocket when you feel the buzz, there is a new moment of your life, a sight of a million reflected lights is just as real as one
