This is a song I wrote to commemorate my late cousin, Isaac Lund. <3

Rise

I've got a feeling that I can't let go
Everyone around me sick of saying I told you so
They're taking in every word I breathe
Fire burning up but I can't feel the heat

I've got the dragons' heart yeah I won the fight
I'm looking into the navy night 
I feel the feathered touch of his hands on me
And the way he moves only I can see

Take my mind it's all for you you've got my bones
I feel the fire burning through
I see no more

I hear him creeping so quietly
Words grip my throat and I think it is choking me
Taking it's toll down this one way road
I can see the light is shining but not where to go

I've got the dragons' heart yeah I won the fight
I'm looking into the navy night 
I feel the feathered touch of his hands on me
And the way he moves only I can see

Take my mind it's all for you you've got my bones
I feel the fire burning through
I see no more

The Cactus Channel’s new single “Leech” takes the orchestrated soul futurism that has become their signature sound and adds silvery vocal dimensions, as the band’s own Lewis Coleman steps up to the mic. The song’s emotionally potent lyrics evoke the wrestling that arises internally with the feelings that linger after a breakup. As Lewis elucidates, “Leech” is about “those feelings that don’t go away, and pop up at unexpected times. When something shifts inside, but even your best friends wouldn’t know; your mood is instantly altered, even if you can walk back into the room and nobody notices it externally.” The band has recently shared the video for their first single “Storefront” and announced a huge national tour and an October residency at Melbourne’s The Night Cat.

LYRICS

I’m gonna get mine x 5
Respect!
Sex!
Get! 
High!
I’m gonna get mine x 5
Fuck your shit brother
Gonna get it like 


Verse 1:
I’m getting even Steven no retreating
If I’m hungry then I’m eating
Like a monkey in Jumanji
I’m feeding my credence
No clear water though I’m in that murky flow
A man fully grown in bed getting head 
From my testosterone

Test of the road
Flesh off the bone
Flex of the load
check of the code
Thresh of the hold

I’m Vexed to fight
In fact live
Wire fired up 
The messiah on pyre son
To vagina I’m a tyrant Hun

Hunting punters
punting youngsters
busting nuts and crunching numbers
 by the hundreds…

“whatever man” 

You fucking what?
I’m everything that you want
Everything you don’t got
Sex, money, status and drugs
and everything’s not enough
I’m entitled to dominance
take everything I can touch
my satisfaction’s a must
singing till I bust x3


Chorus:
I’m gonna get mine x5
Respect!
Sex!
get 
High!
I’m gonna get mine
Fuck you B***h
Gonna get it like 

I’m gonna get mine x5
I’m a fucking king 
Gonna get it like 
move


Verse 2:
Black brother
came from the origin land mother
Africa
where the west 
came to dissect brand and conquer
streets ran red with
civil bloodshed 
so his family fled 
sought protection on Australian sand
education opportunity and emancipation
was what they said was waiting
instead  racism and cultural replacement
for a black man
nobody here showing the way
to be embraced
erase feminine traits
and get more lit than this house ablaze
These days 
the only black face seen in the main stream  
Are trap lords and gangsters hyper masculine embracing  
Fighting for the gat cause
Preaching money sex and crack courts
Everyone applauds the reckless hedonist
So why should I go against the grain dissecting this
If that’s what it takes for peeps respect this kid
Respect this kid



Outro:
My brothers
Why is that we feel the need, when we go out 
We have to fight each other?
Why is it, 
that we can’t respect the women in our lives as equals?
Why is it that we always have to one up each other
And make it a crowd ordeal
Why do we always have to mob deep
Why cant we show any femininity in our ways?
Why do have to always be so aggressive?
Why can’t we just be free?

Isn’t that what we’re supposed to be?
In a land that’s meant to be free!
Fuck all that shit I just want to be free!
Though I know some of us never will be…
