Name: Stepping Off by Stealing Genius
Duration: 3 min 40 s
Description: 2008 multitrack demo recording of Stepping Off, the opening track of the Conquering Gravity story.

Welcome to One Million Experiments, a brand new podcast exploring how we define and create safety, wellness, and protection in a world without police and prisons. Through longform interviews with movement workers across the world who have created community-based safety projects, 1ME expands our ideas about what keeps us safe, and celebrates the work already happening to build solutions that are grounded in transformation instead of punishment.

On this first episode, hosts Dame and Kiss introduce the project alongside Interrupting Criminalization's Eva Nagao. Then the guys take a deep dive into the project with 1ME co-creator Mariame Kaba, who talks about the project's evolution, the limits of framing the projects as "alternatives" to police and prisons, and how she hopes the project moves people into movement and action.

SHOW NOTES

The podcast is brought to you by AirGo (airgoradio) and Interrupting Criminalization (www.interruptingcriminalization.com).

Pieces
By Bill Rose and Laurie Blue

Laurie Blue – Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Bill Rose – Electric Guitar, Vocals
Sean Lawrence – Bass
Greg Petrecca – Drums

Never could see you
Blocked by the pain
Filled with temptation
Can’t be arranged
It sits
A risk

Should’ve been easy
But it never is
Figured it out
Something forbidden
A kiss
A risk
I would not take

Locked you up
Put you away
Left you in a box
To play
Without me
Everyone gets broken
Broken in pieces
Pieces apart
In a box

Shaken and shattered
Spilled on the carpet
Something that mattered
Flashed at the bar
It missed
A risk

Love keeps on ticking
A treason in time
I would’ve fixed you
But you weren’t mine 
To fix
A risk
I would not take

Alteras todo lo normal,
Todo lo has de cambiar 
Pero mi amor es inmutable,
 Nada versátil a decir verdad.

Tus ojos borran mi pasado y mi dirección
No se de donde vengo ni a donde voy
Ni a donde voy 
Soy el dueño eterno de tus labios
Soy tu frustración 
Tras la metamorfosis 
Ya no se quien soy
Ya no se quien soy 

Eres fugaz en lo que haces 
Sigilosa pero letal 
Siento un enlace entre nuestras almas

Tus ojos borran mi pasado y mi dirección
No se de donde vengo ni a donde voy
Ni a donde voy 
Soy el dueño eterno de tus labios
Soy tu frustración 
Tras la metamorfosis 
Ya no se quien soy 
Pues ya no se quien soy
Soy sombra y huella del pasado
Soy transformación 
Tras la metamorfosis 
Ya no se quien soy 

Soy el dueño eterno de tus labios
Soy tu frustración 
Tras la metamorfosis 
Ya no se quien soy
Ya no se quien soy 


(Solo) 

Tus ojos borran mi pasado y mi dirección
No se de donde vengo ni a donde voy
Ni a donde voy 
Soy el dueño eterno de tus labios
Soy tu frustración 
Tras la metamorfosis 
Ya no se quien soy 
Ya no se quien soy
