Your pain, and Your agony Fall off of your shoulder, Onto your bed, willingly Knowing the heartache That struggles like a ship lost to the sea The weight has been anchored for now But the brambles, rumbles bumps and boos Stumble through one eye to the next Where has all the green gone too? We disguise it ourselves as an entire society Sabotaging each other day to day Drowning in useless facts that make the machine more powerful Making minorities even more minor Making our songs seem even less provoking And turning it all into a big joke Bravery stops being brave Courage stops being courageous Fear and dispair have taken courage and Conquered us Now you know the stem How much more can you chew til your body explodes? We don’t need them WE NEED YOU Now, knowing what cracks the back Now, knowing how the eyes read words You can find the salad of earth Make it Share it Feel it stick between your gums and teeth Flesh and bone Rember it, savor it. Keep it. Hold tightly to your ideas Sleep eat wake and walk With them always in the palm of your hand

Raw Power
Your pain, and Your agony Fall off of your shoulder, Onto your bed, willingly Knowing the heartache That struggles like a ship lost to the sea The weight has been anchored for now But the brambles, rumbles bumps and boos Stumble through one eye to the next Where has all the green gone too? We disguise it ourselves as an entire society Sabotaging each other day to day Drowning in useless facts that make the machine more powerful Making minorities even more minor Making our songs seem even less provoking And turning it all into a big joke Bravery stops being brave Courage stops being courageous Fear and dispair have taken courage and Conquered us Now you know the stem How much more can you chew til your body explodes? We don’t need them WE NEED YOU Now, knowing what cracks the back Now, knowing how the eyes read words You can find the salad of earth Make it Share it Feel it stick between your gums and teeth Flesh and bone Rember it, savor it. Keep it. Hold tightly to your ideas Sleep eat wake and walk With them always in the palm of your hand
