We Go This Way

Ivy growing on my gates, where the murmur emanates, like a walk into a big parade, smothered by the escapades

Early May we heard that tune, and it echoed down the avenue, and the street felt empty most of June, softened faces filtered through

The fear of the distance to the floor, the warmth of a place that you adore, so what are we breathing faster for?

Tell me why, oh why do we evoke this creature fear? Because we're all just rabbits in the headlights here, come on wash away that frightened voice that creeps into your ear, because we're all just rabbits in the headlights here

Throw my mind up to the wind, everyone's the same within, 'cause the smallest thing can break the skin, crack along our fingerprints

The drop of a weight down to the floor, release all the pressure on your jaw, so swim, come and meet me by the shore

Tracklist:
1) AARONN - Into The Grey

Availability: Thursday, August, 24th 2017

(Lyrics - Into The Grey)
You saw it in a slumber
A glimpse of the soft light
That warms but never burns your skin

A taste that left not want
And poised the flutter in your chest
But since you woke you can’t stop
You can’t stop crying

You saw it in a slumber
You wish someone would pull you under
Don’t want to wake into the grey

Do you remember your first kiss
Back then it was just lips
But you held your soul on your tongue

Love is always young
And I’m growing into the grey

You saw it in a slumber
You wish someone would pull you under
Don’t want to wake into the grey

Do you remember your first kiss
Back then it was just lips
But you held your soul on your tongue

Love is always young

Pre-order the 'Radio Silence' album now: http://smarturl.it/RadioSilence

Good morning. Spending time engaging with fans on social media has allowed me to spread information about causes and events ignored by the mainstream media. It has also made me aware of important cultural events and connected me with brilliant people who make me a better human being. It was on social media that I first learned about the story of Bresha Meadows. On July 28th, 2016, Bresha Meadows shot and killed her reportedly abusive father. She was 14 years old at the time.
The first thing that struck me about Bresha was how much she physically reminded me of my own daughter. I had a similar experience when George Zimmerman killed 17 year old Trayvon Martin, who reminded me of my son. I instantly felt drawn to these children and I felt compelled to dive deeper into their lives. Leading up to shooting her father, Bresha’s grades were slipping in school, she had run away from home and had repeatedly told relatives and authorities that her father was beating up her mom and threatening to kill the whole family.
Back in 2011, Bresha’s mother, Brandi Meadows, stated in court papers that she had been cut, suffered broken ribs, a broken nose and black eyes, and that she is 100 percent sure she will be killed. She later reconciled with Bresha’s father, which is a common occurrence in abusive relationships. To this day, the father’s relatives insist he was not nearly as abusive as he was made out to be.
Bresha obviously had a different perspective, telling authorities that the gun she killed her father with was the very gun he used to threaten the family with. After sitting in juvenile detention for 9 months and facing at the very least a very lengthy prison sentence, Bresha accepted a plea deal that will allow her to be released to a residential treatment center for 6 months and then to her family. What struck me about this case was Bresha’s age. I express myself lyrically, so a lyric popped in my head while thinking about it -

“Do you kill yourself or kill the monster thats making you suicidal, decisions to heavy for the mind of a child.”

Regardless of how you feel about this particular case, whether you feel it’s a self defense issue, a domestic abuse issue, a mental health issue or all of the above, the take away for me is that we must do a better job of taking care of and protecting our children. Our children should never feel they have to make these kinds of decisions. I see my own children in Bresha’s young face, and I want to uplift their voices as much as I possibly can. Brandi Meadows has said of her daughter -

“She is my hero. I wasn’t strong enough to get out and help us all.” 

That statement got me thinking about what a hero truly is, and made me want to write a song about Bresha. My hope is that this song inspires us as a community to more closely examine the dysfunction within our own families, so that we can create solutions before young people like Bresha feel like they must take matters into their own hands. I present She’s my Hero.

Using the hashtag #FreeBresha supporters of Bresha Meadows have rallied around her, setting up a GoFundMe page for the family.
