Hard Days 02:16
hard days are coming hard days have gone you sit in the middle far from where youre from take a breather take off your shoes take off the world your sholders are used to it will keep on spinning far from your control the things your missing are all rocks on a roll hard days are here youve found shelter embrace the warmth but still remember just cause you dont feel it doesnt mean its not there just because these moments doesnt mean youre spared cause heartbreak is human and were all on a mend were all on different stages and we interdepend days full of difference a chasm with a bridge it needs our maintenence to keep touch who weve been

put your finger in the loop of the cycle and gently pull its thread disarm the words run viral understand whats more than said we weave new traditions from the fabric of the dead whats sewn is not forsaken its deep inside your head
4.
fallen soldiers fallen graces on the streets are wandering broken bodies, brittle spirits lived lives of violence burn the flag my brothers keeper its fabric merely hides the reaper the curse of cain the slayn abel whos blood is on the nation lies the tell us, lies provoke us we become the terror burn the flag love your neighbor break the spell break down the borders uniforms disguise the murderer as a martyred savior idols of star spangled caskets are worshiped behavior burn the flag put out the crosses we are all veterans in the struggle to resist our own oppressions burn the flag pride wont save you ego cannot liberate you
5.
holding your face feeling it resonate skin soft and bare sweet to the taste im falling in a familiar black hole time will tell if the depths will be worth the lows in the meantime hindsight is sensual i spent years alone spent time to ruminate in gravity's hold touch yearned to resonate like a broken record needle damaged done my heart shone like rays of the crimson sun which shined and beckoned your welcoming i feel like a ghost a shadow walking after a night of sweet talking now im at home and i listen to the radio and i hope that im more than just mirrors and smoke and i hold on to not letting go
6.
whats lost forgotten is destined to be remembered and rediscovered with luck, chance, and life as we hold hands with lovers some search in heartbreak we must hold close the lonely for the time it takes hold on for time to heal your wounds search still for the sun just out of view the heart swells and savors love and pain the same our wounds are in measure but help is on the way theres hope in recalling the ghosts of joy we must summon, embody strengths in memory we must make new rebirth loss with life and lost truths reclaimed to survive
7.
theres magic in the air in eyes locked in a stare in a spell and a trance in a dark romance this cant end well theres murk in the water im cursed and im blessed in seeing through this hot mess i look away to break the spell crack a joke only i can tell this black magics blue im rubber, im glue sometimes broken spells can remain cast in rippling reverberence in lingering glances n nostalgic past magics whimsical its not a force set in stone it moves through the air like sunshine or a thunders roll its fire and air its earth and water its in the bond between broken hearts and the forces that attract and repulse in celestial dances in atomic romance
8.
with silence all around eternity is screaming i tune it in to slow it down as rivers rage inside of me a flooding well is what my heart feels while dreaming placid, still in breathes fueling a surge in me sound of sirens abound in the core molten of my body dreams of stillness slow surround a techtonic cage or reverie still waters cool the mortal coil with aww as im a statue living within the bounds of law
9.
the sun shines for another day as you wake up in the morning children laugh as they play its good medicine for grief and mourning close your eyes and feel the warmth of the dawning springtime these painless moments are short just breathe and savor the flowers blooming and sit in the sun for your loved ones cause those have passed are still within you feel their best parts in the grass cause we are more than blood and sinew more than what was ever meant to last & the sky will cry tears of sunshine as warm rain meets the dew and lives lost to the dreamtime are still alive in me & you.

Wizard of Us 02:37
a scare that will crow a figure to resemble a brain made out of straw wheres your mind at? tredding on bricks of golden but where ya goin? do we have heart? are we just tin cold and smart? our body is a modern machine with hearts of lions and the lost yearning free theres courage within our hearts burnin but theres a man behind the curtain thats for certain but what hes made of is beyond us and within us
11.
the sun comes again and sears in the sky as the fire burns ever bright the fog melts away on the tips of the trees as the green reveals hidden sights the valley and the canyons start to sing their sights in view as the eye starts to spy their song in a sunlit tune whispers of a melody ripen upon the breeze weaving through the rays in complex synchronicity the water in the river and the reflections on the lake sparkle the dirt on the cliffs are subdued by the waterfall muted by the roar of the currents tumbling in visions of fire, light, and water in the coming spring

about

this is a bunch of live & looped recordings produced in the Behr Cave in Cottage Grove in the first half of 2018.

its mostly a bunch of songs about radical love, the importance of memory in dealing with grief and other metaphysical/internal/decolonizing processing. and other things like magic and searching down that yellow brick road towards finding your own power, i guess.
