Paint The Sky  (Momentology Remix)

The troubled tremblings of civil war & the breakdown in civil discourse are on most of our minds & feeds these days. I've never experienced my family & friend groups so divided. The cohesion of our country is crumbling & the tension is palpable. I'm confident neither side truly likes where this may lead...

Please, take heed.  Not all is at it seems.  We're drunk on social mead-ia and TVs got us twisted.  There's so much more going on in the world than the closed caption pictured talking heads would suggest.  That said, I've got something to get off my chest.  

This is a piece I've been working on called "Echo Chamber." It's about recognizing we ALL, YOU & I, are being influenced by echo-chambers & advertised lies.

We're not going to get each other to change our minds by arguing online from such different starting points & frames of reference.  Instead, let's be aware of our reality bubbles & step the fuck outside this matrix screen of lies. Make hay while the sun shines.  Walk away from the screaming & find the thing inside your heart truly magnetizes you to & start doing it.   Don't inhibit anyone else's ability to do the same.  We gain little by continuing to funnel our collective energy and attention into embattled separation.  Let's take a vacation, shift the narrative & raise the vibration.

Beat: "Wrong" 
produced by j^p^n

lyrics:

with the sea levels risen 
been a rise in division
we tunin' televisions in-
two reality's different 

our social media fictions, 
r engineerin' derision

all the scrolling & clickin'
we're cherry pickin' our facts, 
emojis drawn to react
as the algorithms add
up to something we lack 
something done been subtract

only ourselves lookin' back
through a whole lot of cats. 

man We Close 
opposin' 'pinion's like they're ads
vision lapsed to cataracts
 
these cloudy liquid crystal screens
Hide a hidden hand unseen. 

pull the public puppet strings
replacin' average - with the mean
out-right liars -- govern green
Oligarchys now the scene 
& it's becomin' quite obscene. 

what happened to this dream?
this melting pot from 
sea-to-shining sea?
beneath the seemin' so serene
consequences under feet
circle stress, anxiety
no wonder we
buyin leave of our sobriety.

some rioting
while others openly admiring a tyrant, 
at the same time we deifying Kobe Bryant 
but not cryin for the climate?
that's our environment!

this bread & circus
has been bred for a purpose

get under the surface
under-current events
it takes courage 
to follow truth where it's led
upstream
from social media repent 
left & right both malcontent
wings meant for our ascent
but they keep us low instead
doing battle with our friends

our keyboards r cuttin' like swords 
spendin goodwill we can barely afford
taring into each other
pittin brother on brother 

fox news watchin' mothers.   
fearful under they covers
on the unending coverage 
of the present incumbent 

my pops glued to the numbers
Of MSNBC pundits, 

his eyes affixed to the screen
siftin' scripted bullshit
nonstop redundant 
in this world so abundant 
i just think that we're above this

Indulgent arguing cousins.  
Under the shadow of buzzards.
it's coming down to the buzzer.
but each got a piece to the puzzle

let's focus in on what's common
No one belongs on the bottom
we're all equal, all people
but humanity reluctant 
though we're sharing a compass
our locus sharing circumference
alumnus sky that's above us. 


growin' lonely from numbness
i'm speakin out from our dumbness
it doesn't come down 
to fact checkin numbers
it comes down to our oneness.
