breaking through spirit illusion conscious confusion waking up to logic, reason- its truth, not treason this worlds hostage to empty promise theres beauty, its tragic beyond truth & dreams this country, its boundless enslaved by boundries and greed storms, they come on the horizon theres tempests arising oh, we wait fragiley bracing the world were debasing what will we hold on to when hierarchies collapse when natural order returns at long last time will tell what our fate is what consciousness awaits us
2.
here we are again stare into the dark listen close to the sounds of your beating heart yes, youre still alive close your eyes the void cant hurt you now when dreams can fill its lies the battleground of your own mind can be calm if you will the sublime theres power in your breath still in the hours your minds shrill suspension of disbelief is required thinking with sleep comes respite an elipses, not an end lay your head and dream the world will keep spinning lay your head and breathe itll be morning anxiety is hard it can tear at your seams but dont give in now there are better things to dream

its midnight in my heart and it beats on its own the loneliness it haunts me like a lover ive never known the train it comes but nor for me the road it calls but i cant leave the sun goes down and i am left with the solice of myself the sound of echoes of mysteries death has left me the last of my kin so long ive been wordless amid my grief's din who could love this loneliness? the scars of my experience? darkness is not forever nor are illusions of nor is the sound of nothingness
4.
for these moments, hallelu brief, eternal whats old is new its all whats always been its love and struggling against disconnect against the currents resistence is never futile its mere survival in this crucible of our lives constructed pain and mechanism's slow refrain for these moments hallelu our brittle bodies are holding true its all mind/matter were all made of earth resist the poison of lies weve been given were precious in the universe more than gold, this consciousness is worth lets riot in our hearts today against the forces that make us prey

about

these songs were written in cottage grove and recorded live & reversed at the Butter Box (RIP) after a foray in homelessness in eugene.

the first 4 songs i wrote to self-soothe a disconnection i felt due to the loss of my father with no family left on his side as well as the alienation that comes from being a small town queer & punk. i began playing out more in eugene in an attempt to make more vibrant connections socially and artistically.

after failing to find housing in Eugene, i moved into my late fathers house and my grief came to the point where i wanted to reverse the emotions that lead me down a dead end search for community in the bigger city-so i reversed the songs i wrote in a kind of reclaim and reorient my personal failures & it turned out they kinda sounded cool. so here ya go.
