Coddiwomple: to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination

Coddiwomple

Sometimes I dream that I am living in an apocalypse world. My greatest fear is that I will wake up one day and it will no longer be a dream.

Apocalyptic Dream

When I was young I was fascinated with the planet Jupiter. I used to wonder if some how beyond all the gases of that giant there was another planet hidden inside…

Fight The Oligarchy 

We don’t believe all you stupid lies
We don’t need you in our lives 
We don’t believe your shit will set us free 
We won’t be ruled by white supremacy 


Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

The hate that you fuel will eventually die
The hate that you fuel will consume your own life
You’re just a fungus, you’re just a disease
Your lust for blood will never appease 

Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

We will Take off your mask and tear down the facade 
Remove all your power you are no god
Shut your mouth we don’t give a damn
To hell with you and your mother Fucking plans 

Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

This is not a game these are lives
This is not a joke we won’t just stand by
We won’t let you take control 
We are more powerful then you’ll ever know 

Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

Fight The Oligarchy (explicit)

Bow Down 

You want me down on my knees
saying yes sir, can I please
you want me to bow before you

You'll control my every move
Give myself over to you
but that's something I just wont do

(Chorus)

I bow down to no one
especially a fool like you
I bow down to no one
especially a fool like you

You want me to kiss the ring
devoting my everything
kiss the crown and kiss your feet

You let me share you wealth and more
that your worth more then just money and gold
but there's something I won’t be told

(Chorus)

I wont’t stand by
watch you destroy
everything that makes this nation great

You want me to join the ranks
fight for you and no one else
it's always about yourself

You punch your fists in the nations face
you're such a big disgrace
I wont stand by and let you take this place

(Chorus)

Bow Down

THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG 

There’s something wrong with the system 
There’s something wrong with the machine 
It all seems so disingenuous 
It all seems so ethically curupted  

There’s something wrong (x4)

There is something off about the
Look they give us
There is something off about the lies and
Visual display 
The hatered
The carelessness
The inhumane plan
The viciousness 
And the moral decay

There’s something wrong (x4)

The expectation of a full dictatorship 
The way they think we’ll just fall in line 
The way they ignore our every move
The way they ignore our uprise 

There’s something wrong (x4)

There’s Something Wrong

WE THE PEOPLE

We are tired of all your lies
We see through your terrible disguise 

(Chorus)
We the people, didn’t even vote for you 
We the people, we are not afraid of you 
You hack the system and Grock declares
You spread disinformation you cricked billionaire 

We can taste the vomit rising in our throat's 
We don’t believe you are the G.O.A.T

(Chorus)

You could have feed the would 
And saved humanity 
You could have cleaned the air and make it
easier to breathe 

We are sick of your Nazi style 
We think your just a pile (of shit)

(Chorus)

We the People 

WE THE PEOPLE

This is a song about protecting individuals from ICE


IF YOU COME FOR MY FRIENDS 

If you come for my friends 
You come for me
And when you come for me
Im going to be, a problem

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

If you come for my friends
I’m the brick wall
And this brick wall 
Doesn’t fall, so easily 

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

I’ll treat a stranger 
like they’er my best fiend
Because we all became united 
When your war began

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

We are ready
Ready to stand

You’ll light the world on fire
And you’ll burn too
But we've been burning for longer
So we know what to do

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret

Intangible Thought Creature

(Their not just taking rights away, they are massacring those rights away. But we will fight, and never stop)

THE MASSACRE
  
Let’s get up now, start to rise
Hit the streets it time to organize

Just because they say we’re not worth it
Doesn’t mean we that don’t deserve it
So stand, resist and play your drum
Fight against the massacre of Freedom

So kick down the fascist's and the dictatorship
Squeeze the injustice out of these little shits
Corruption plays from the top down
It stops with us, we will not bow

Just because they say we’re not worth it
Doesn’t mean we that don’t deserve it
So stand, resist and play your drum
Fight against the massacre of Freedom

We shouldn't have to look over our shoulders
Let’s join together start the take over
Let’s start a revolution, start it right
Together we will fight, fight, fight!!!

Sometimes you have to fight for love
In a world of hate that makes a fool of
Equality matters it always will
And yes, I will die in that hill

Just because they say we’re not worth it
Doesn’t mean we that don’t deserve it
So stand, resist and play your drum
Fight against the massacre of Freedom

We're up now, we've began to rise
We're in the streets we're organize
The revolution has started and started right
Let’s continue it fight, fight, fight!!!

Just because they say we’re not worth it
Doesn’t mean we that don’t deserve it
So stand, resist and play your drum
Fight against the massacre of Freedom

Stand resist and play your drum
Stand resist and play your drum
Fight against the massacre of freedom

The Massacre Of Freedom

Here is another track from the 2020 album "Void"

Shadows Of The Past

(This song is about having hope, when so much hate surrounds  us, it is my hope that through it all, love will concur. Be a light instead of darkness)

STARS AT NIGHT

I know it’s hard and you’re tired
Yeah, I’m tired too
I know it’s hard to fake a smile
And walk all those miles
I know the distance it can seem further and further every day
Rest for now you weary head tomorrows another day

(Chorus)

They are sparks, but we’re the flames
They’re the few drops but we're the storm
They are darkness, but we'er the light
Stars only shine at night

And holding on to hope
Can feel so difficult
When it always seams just out of reach
And it so hard to see
So take my hand and we can sour into a higher sky
We can combined all of are flame and shine on oh so bright

(Chorus)

Watch how we shine

If this happens to be the darkest time line
I have to believe that if we lift each other it will be alright

(Chorus)

Watch how we shine
 
(Chorus)

Stars At Night

PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE FIRE

They say embrace the moment
they say now’s the time
They say you’ll regret it if
You don’t live life

Time is fleeting 
Time twists and turns
Time gos by
Before we have the chance to learn

Time is a razor 
That cuts me open wide
How did these photographs 
Ever survive 

I thought I threw them in the fire (x3)

They say it’s better to have love and lost
Then to have never loved at all
But do they know how feels 
to be up against this wall

They say time heals all wounds
But they’re wrong about that too
All of these images 
Have bound me to you

Time is a hammer
that pounds me open wide
How did these photographs ever survive

I thought I threw them in the fire (x3)

Time is a razor 
That cuts me open wide
How did these photographs 
Ever survive 

It feels like I’m walking 
In a forest all alone 
They said nothing last forever 
But this cuts me to the bone

I thought I have moved on
From all those memories 
I thought for sure I had erased you
From me

Time is a hammer 
That pounds me open wide
How did these photographs ever 
Service 


I thought I threw them in the fire (x3)

I’ll throw the memories in the fire
In the fire

Neurodiversity

Welcome to track  1/52 

Each track in this one year journey, represents a week of time you will face in The Last City.

Marked only by Roman numeric numbers for you to experience the “week” how you see fit. What is your adventure? What is your experience?

Come into the city and experience your new life.

The Concept:
THE LAST CITY 

You have been walking for days, weeks
Perhaps even months.
Your memory is hazy since the beginning of the downfall of humanity. Was there a war? a famine? the knowledge was once clear in your head but now…a loss 

all you know is somewhere you read about the last city
Or was it that someone told you about it.
You can’t really remember the last time you actually talked to someone face to face.

You are beginning to wonder if the mystery city ever existed. Just as you have this thought the fog shifts the city lights breaks through the darkness, it almost feels like a dream .

Soon you are standing, at what appears to be the only outside entrance into the city. There is no one there to greet you but a small sign above the door reads :

“Welcome to all humanity.
This is the last city on earth. 
Enter and enjoy everlasting peace”

You are reluctant but more than that, you are desperate.
Desperate to meet those like you, desperate to understand your human family.
With hands slightly trembling, you push the door open, and enter 
"The Last City"


Week 2

Each track represents one week in the last city. See part one for details.

4/52
Where has this week's track lead you in the city?

The door opens, and another part to you journey reveals itself

How many rooms have you explored? How many doors have been opened? Who, or what have you meet so far?

Stay alert, stay in the shadows if you must. Not all are what they seem

I found this song that I recorded about three and a half years ago, when I was first getting started on soundcloud.

It's a little raw sounding but I thought I would post to see what you all thought.
