Sometimes there just isn’t anything to say, anything to feel
Lines easily blur between what is fake and what is real
Some days there’s no control and actions are powerless
If progress is made in darkness reality then devours it
When will come the catalyst, when will come change
I try my hardest even though times are strange
Patiently I must wait for what’s to come – for a better life
Forever waiting and always – there’s no end in sight
I hope that, by and by, tonight will yield to the dawn
At that moment I’ll know my bearing’s never been wrong
And I’ll find myself exactly as I want to be
Peaceful yet dynamic like a wave in the sea

A drought rules with free reign    
Even over the most fertile plain  
All is sacrificed to the terrain  
Any clarity you cannot obtain  
Resources you cannot sustain  
The desert wont be influenced to change  
Your yearning will be shared with your pain  
Days take from you what little remains  
Each grain of sand needs the sky to rain  
If it doesnt the Earth will not refrain  
From saturating herself with the blood in your veins

Born and raised under smoke towers
I grew up on soil that wealth powers
Greed sours - round here are found no flowers
If it rains, I advise you to avoid the showers
And actually - just don’t use the water at all
It seems one of the plants has had a close call
A strange kind of leak through their impervious wall
Select folks knew weeks ago but couldn’t forestall
After all, toxins in the river shouldn’t have anyone concerned
This water has been poison since the century turned
In a place of industry – poor men should have learned
Slaving along the Kanawha doesn’t entitle you what’s earned
When you take a deep breath, don’t savor it slow
On the job breathing easy is all about what you know
Which mountain you reside atop and your complete bio
Cause here nobody knows nothing unless they're some CEO

Confusion festers deep in my brain
In this drought I’m the last drop of rain
Never to be the same, I am lost
Wondering through this bleak terrain
Soon to be denatured by a single parched grain
