The tides began turning,
While once hardened boulders,
Turned into gentle sand,
Washing against my ankles,
Remind me of what I loved.

Don’t think I really changed,
Just forced myself into a mold,
Every model on my shelf,
Tucked away into the cave,
I find the strength to uncover,
A love lost to the pressure,
Of conforming to the tide.

The tides began turning,
While once hardened boulders,
Turned into gentle sand,
Washing against my ankles,
Remind me of how I loved.

I hated that I didn’t match the mold,
No matter how hard or long I tried,
The old crooked signs never lead me right,
Sending me back and forth between states,
So I built my own sign and forge my own path,
Cupped the love in the palms of my hands,
Held it close and took it with me on my journey.

The Sanctity

The sanctity of normalcy,
Shanked and left to bleed,
Out on the crooked streets,
They say, "all we need is diplomacy."

Wheres my home now,
Walls have been torn down,
Cant see my way around,
My home is hell-bound.

My home is hell-bound.

Leave rationality at the threshold,
Like a pet left in the winter cold,
Body rotting into Stachybotrys mold,
Creeping back inside by tenfold.

Wheres my home now,
Walls have been torn down,
Cant see my way around,
My home is hell-bound.

My home is hell-bound.

Joy Taker

Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker,
I deserve to meet my own maker,
I deserve the rage for I'm your joy taker,
Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker.

I can't handle it anymore,
You're travelling too far,
Into my walled up heart,
Well it's par for the course.

Before you ever get to know me,
I'll misdirect you into your own mind,
I want to know you inside out,
Don't bother asking about mine.

Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker,
I deserve to meet my own maker,
I deserve the rage for I'm your joy taker,
Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker.

I wish I knew what it would be like,
To find it safe and sound to speak aloud,
All the pain and discomfort, I am heaving,
Onto the concrete floor at the thought.

Drug me until I'm spun out,
****** up and unintelligible,
Maybe then I'll finally let you in,
All I need is to know that I'm not me.

Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker,
I deserve to meet my own maker,
I deserve the rage for Im your joy taker,
Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker.

Joy taker.

Heartbreaker.

Joy taker.

Home.

Will I ever have a home to call my own?
A home to call my own?
Call my own.
My own.
Home.

I just want a home that I can call my own,
Doesn’t have to be grand or lots of land,
Im fine with the quaint and some peeling paint,
If that’s what it has to be, at least someone heard my plea.

I can’t see through the darkness in front of me,
See darkness in front of me,
In front of me,
Hear my plea,
From me.

I’m just another human begging for revolution,
Caught in a landslide and there’s nowhere to hide,
How am I to hope if I don’t have a rope,
What’s left for us in this unjust land of ours?

Will I ever have a home to call my own?
A home to call my own?
Call my own.
My own.
Home.

Alone in the Northwest

Standing at the edge of town,
At the gas station in the dark,
Fields of grain extending out,
Farther than my vision can reach,
Distant foggy haze's all I discern,
Lights all off in the market,
Feeling the cold wash over,
I'm alone in the northwest.

The hope disappears into the blue,
Distant mountains shadowed in time,
Deer peer through whispering wheat,
Beckoning, inviting me to disappear.

Standing at the edge of a valley,
Rolling through the dark forest,
Slopes of foggy trees careen,
Farther than my vision can reach,
Wavering pines call quietly,
Echo reverberating in between,
The cold wind addresses it,
I know, I'm alone in the northwest.

The hope disappears into the blue,
Distant mountains shadowed in time,
Deer peer through whispering wheat,
Beckoning, inviting me to disappear.

LAW AND ORDER

This is what happens,
What happens to a country,
When the opposition is stamped,
And the institutions have *** with racist sentiments.
That *** must be good if our rights,
The rights of the minorities are tradable.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED,

I cannot confine this rage,
We're so liberalized,
Standing in line to die,
Like sheep into the slaughterhouse.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED,

What do you think you could do?
Well I think I could break a few windows,
Apple, Starbucks, Meta, Microsoft,
Run into the streets screaming, "**** THE RICH"
But you won't cause it's out of order.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED.

WE LOVE,

WE ****,

WE LOVE,

WE ****,

LAW AND ORDER.

Ingrown

Fight this ingrown nail,
Sinking into congressional flesh,
Infected to the bone,
America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America the free,
Oh baby!
America the free,
My lady!
Well maybe,
We're crazy,
Oh baby!
America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie.

There will come a time,
You'll realize the nail,
That is still ingrown,
Has cut a divide,
Between the ultra-rich,
And the ***** low class.
Maybe then, you'll begin,
Begin to think: America,
The free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie.

We'll find an avenue to educate.
