we men

men, we need to hold each other
living lives deprived of feelings of safety and acceptance
what we are is ok, but we're the most insecure
trained to perform, the greatest show on earth;
that we have an ounce of confidence simmering in ourselves
stumbling around, raping and hitting
pressure mounting, unloved boys!
blind and lost and powerless
the greatest, unfunniest gag going
that we know what we're doing
lost and blind and voiceless
regurgitating grasping tropes
steps of the wounded, lost men
stumbling down carved out paths before us
need a hug
need to hold each other

come to the light
01:35
|
|||
|
early on something felt unsafe
retraction to protect, feeling out of place
small, sad boy, radar on high alert
never relaxed, never seeing the strength
alone in a cold world, cruel and moving fast
no celebration of sensitivity
just seen as a crutch
something to shed, dead weight to drop
a wound to heal, an inherent flaw
hidden, swift sparkle of tools unrealized
a power unknown, buried inside
begging to breathe, to come to the light
self absorption, cycles grow lies
perspective lost, stuck in our minds
we start to navigate, realize it all belongs
the darkest muck is fertile
the journey of welcoming reality
our messy self, a perfect puzzle piece
start to wield, the weight changes
start to feel different
we learn to calm the harsh critic
that was chasing perfect
nothing denied, tools realized
self hatred discarded

heart break
01:21
|
|||
|
my love for you burns fierce
an unexplainable blend of sorrow and joy
passions alive, radiate and melt me
i envision a scenario of your future and my heart breaks
i imagine them beating you down, you finding no support
only resistance and suppression of your wildness
i see you go un-nurtured and it's almost unbearable
but i love you and i'll guide this energy into support
i see you as a genius and no one else may agree
maybe my efforts won't help a bit
and maybe i'm naive to think i can help you
the same paradigm that suffocates you tells me too not to dream
but to settle, conform, consume, pledge allegiance and obey
i'll recognize these voices, turn my back and stray
i'll fight for you and believe it matters
odds against us but i'd rather try
navigate the changes, mindful of the center
as daunting as it seems, i'm gonna fight the system
that kills wildness and diversity

whatever
03:31
|
|||
|
continually entranced by externals
displaced from a center that holds fast
stress in the chase for the next thing
treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy
chained to seeking
happiness grasping
rejoice at exhaustion mounting
options in things run out, can we find the flame?
the next new record, new important band
purpose fulfilling job, the partner i was destined to have
fill me up for a while, then your time expires
seeking stimuli to prove my life is super special
...
destiny, mean to be, purpose and meaning and hope
for a better day
...
disillusion, re-calibrate, it all loses it's weight

nothing repeats the same
01:10
|
|||
|
i tend to look back and re-live events
no second chance
take from it what i can
it naturally doesn't make sense
and i have no regrets
i look at your face and there's a special pain
i did not know what the fuck to do
made myself separate from you
i made my choice
i find my voice
we learn at the pace we do
but the words ring "i abandoned you"
we can look back, replay events
what can we say?
no point to be made
nothing repeats the same

life detox
02:02
|
|||
|
wringing out the waste til the water runs clear
simple, repeat actions, detoxify
maintain state of well being, there's few heroic feats
just mindful attention
self trust starts to build, a clear seeing of what's needed
always open, but the inner light grows in intensity
years of seeking externally
no regrets
the path to now
rid the filth that smothers our shine
the people scrubbed clean of confidence
hating the system, but only knowing dependence
taking the steps
understand ourselves
the foliage splits cement
the seed reaches to the light
belief in fundamental bad, that we're powerless
...
i'm learning it's not that complicated
lost in mind, looking for the big action to save the world
wasted action, wasted life source
draining energy, turning my nose up at the common
as though it's mundane
bypassing treasure
now it radiates, now it shines
resuscitation, revolution

free of me
01:43
|
|||
|
millions of moments of overfilling
sensory system at capacity
habitual reaching for noise of many varieties
seek escape from the methods of numbing
save me from the drowning of drowning out
settle to a place of feeling it all
and not being dragged into engagement
the thrill wanes, something else being fortified
nothing to claim "this is it"
exhaustion from personal ambition
fading into everything
free of me, energy in merging
less high up, less submerged and stuck
look at info outside of thought
|

you
01:23
|
|||
|
you
your personality rages, but what is behind it?
as it's tempered, your spirit shines!
concern with classifications
all the identifications
watch the labels shrink
concept leaves the driver's seat
association with global community
and universal shared likeness
surface action secondary
now we're free to just be
nothing matters!
everything matters!
now you are free to enjoy
go play with unique vibrancy
not wishing you aren't what you are
volume lowers personality
back seat to the more fundamental and powerful,
that less graspable thing you are;
you

wild rhythms
03:12
|
|||
|
when the nightmare overwhelms
cities, money, competition hell
i need the silence, the wildness
the awe, the mystery of it
civilization; headache, heartache
progression away from any sense
swirling around, do you feel suffocated, horrified, deflated?
obscene technology, abysmal connection
wears on me, drains me, i need rejuvenation
knees in the mud, worship the bugs
sweaty and sticking to dirt and plants
feeling relaxation, soul reassurance
civilization doesn't stand a chance!
the raw life in my hands is a dance that will last
infinite magik, in touch with death
a vibe symbiotic, it all makes sense
merge and understand, it's a part of me, i am in it
...
get in the wild rhythms
discover your self
feel sweet simpleness of our existence
cleanse filth with soil in wild rhythms
