when water becomes the focus of our someone’s gotta lose
attitude, addiction now fulfilled by fossil fuel
the talking heads’ll still be spinnin’ ‘round the the clock to keep us glued
the power of distraction will have nothing left to prove
we’ll see migrants by the billions, but we’ll hesitate and fuss
we’ll feed off of rumors in the face of ruin that some of them could be dangerous
a few will focus group more palatable names for cages full of refugee kids
while the rest of us are too caught up in the battle for the narrative
that control has steered the masses a thousand times in as many years
why lead people with real love when easier through real fear?

when water becomes the focus of our I gotta get mine first
we’ll wrestle with our lesser selves and call it someone else’s hurt
some with mind sane and qualified will be trying to articulate 
that in a sense it’s a closed system, one world, all people, one fate
but the rest of us will answer with bared teeth and sharpened claws
we can ignore what any expert says over some unearthed old character flaw
when water becomes the focus of our 'we won't even read the signs'
when water becomes the focus of our ‘sorry, we’ll do better next time'

Jackson Breitbach, older brother of River Glen Breitbach, was unsatisfied with the depth of the interviews his brother was receiving in support of the release of "As Above, So Below", an album featuring 150+ singers/musicians that River worked on for over 5 years. So Jackson has taken matters into his own hands and created his own podcast and is featuring River as guest on his very first episode. So that we can all have the interview that no one deserves. Be advised, this interview is EXPLICIT, as it has moments of vulgar language.
