Sommaren va seg (PART II dead Jokes REMIX)

Paper lake throwing rocks

Seagulls

Eugene to Dallas, Dallas to Helsingborg

I do, I do
if we make it over the mountain
I do, I do
if we make it, if we make it

I be kissing boys that look like girls and girls that look like boys
so cold the darkness in the sky i see something sparkle in their eyes
I know that when they hold me they only want to control me
and i walk in the grass there broken glass alas I do

I do, I do
if we make it over the mountain
I do, I do
if we make it, if we make it

thinking about my life that shit keep me up at night
thinking about my past, im like what the fuck was that?
(rejected by the world or maybe projecting outward)
thinking about my future that shit be too damn brutal
and thinking about right now, that shit hit like fight or flight
(the house of guilt I built, upon that hill, waiting for the wind, to take it down)

It starts & Stops

VOLUMEN 3 DE MIS SESIONES DE PURO HARDCORE!

MILLENIUM HARDCORE SOUL Vol.3

"As Wide As Zen" is our first new song since 2022. This marks a new iteration of the band - continuing on with the core team of Max (Vocals, Guitar), Jericho (Guitar), and Jared (Drums), but with the addition of Chandella as a new second vocalist. This song in particular also sees the return of two former band members as guest performers - Jeremy John returning on Bass Guitar and Kyron Newbury - the original drummer for the band - contributing backing vocals and additional guitars. 

This is also the first new Kozen song to feature the Sanshin - an indigenous instrument from Max's Okinawan heritage. The first time the Sanshin was used in a Kozen song was in our 2022 remake of "Undercurrent" for the acoustic EP of the same name. This is the first new song in our usual sound to feature the instrument. 

The song's name is a play on "広善" - which is both Max's middle name and, by virtue of that, the name of this band. (Note that there are variant pronunciations of these characters.) In addition to the English lyrics, this song contains words and phrases from Japanese, Tagalog, Hebrew, (Koine) Greek, and Uchinaaguchi.

LYRICS:
Woah-oh-oh
Something beautiful kissed my dreams again
Woah-oh-oh
It’s like I opened my mind as wide as 善

Stand up and face it
The threat of uncertainty
Is it telling you that you don’t have a reason to believe?
Absence awakens
The dreaded absurdity
You fear is hiding somewhere in your mentality
心を開いて、見つめる
There a mystery inside the very fact of being you
And if your heart can
Focus and feel through the haze
You’ll hear an anthem humankind and sung through every age

Woah-oh-oh
Something beautiful kissed my dreams again
Woah-oh-oh
It’s like infinity finds me now and then
Woah-oh-oh
Something beautiful lifted me again
Woah-oh-oh
It’s like I opened my mind as wide as 善

Sing הַלְלוּ־יָהּ
Into the light that you’ve seen
I often wonder if someone is singing back to me
Sa Diyos na hindi kilala
We take a chance on a name
Not knowing if it would call itself the same
Look at your good dreams
Could they have come from somewhere
Where eternity is everything and legends fill the air?
Conscience and stories
Permit the people to see
A softer strike in the process of hammering

深い霧の向こうから
美しさが舞い降りた
The πλήρωμα was pleased to dwell
Creator, reconcile me to yourself
The core of me, my まぶい
Reflects the light of the source of everything
So if mysteries should still remain
If questions ever cause me pain
My hope will always be rising up all the same

Woah-oh-oh
Something beautiful kissed my dreams again
Woah-oh-oh
It’s like infinity finds me now and then
And now it’s everything I know-oh-oh
Something beautiful lifted me again
Woah-oh-oh
It’s like I opened my mind as wide as 善

Something beautiful kissed my dreams again
It’s like I opened my mind as wide as 善

はーいーやー
いーやーさーさー
はー, はー
はーいーやー
はーいーやーいーやーさーさー

As Wide As Zen

I ain't counting sheep, I am counting stars
I don't fall asleep, fear of the dark

Iron iron maiden torture me in heaven
Iron iron maiden touch me in heaven
Iron iron maiden talk to me in heaven
seven seven sins outside 7-11
seven seven sins outside 7-11

if you dont treat fast food workers like royalty 
you aint got dj Ed loyalty
come on feel the noise I ain't payin royalties
stealing music what? it aint a commodity
My favorite artist is dj Ed, I'm a narcissist
talk to me about drugs I'm a pharmacist
dont mention dj Ed name he's my fucking nemesis
if you dont fuck with me then you aint my enemy

cause my enemy's enemy is my friend
sippin on that euroshopper I remember when
my enemy's enemy that is my friend
sippin on that euroshopper I remember when
power of the stars
shield me from the dark

Iron iron maiden torture me in heaven
Iron iron maiden touch me in heaven
Iron iron maiden talk to me in heaven
seven seven sins outside 7-11
seven seven sins outside 7-11
(I ain't counting sheep, I am counting stars
I don't fall asleep, fear of the dark)

Euroshopper (POWER of the ☆)

"'Jesus christ!'
how will you know the power it holds
don't tempt me Show me desparation
walk over angels baby snow angels
they won't bite
they won't buy it
Trophy scars for days on days
im riding on your halo
Translate "take your breath away"
why because you said so?
Your social campaign lost potential
break my ice until im blind, blind
On top of everything
Rob the riddle
Drop the pain and celebrate days of stakes"

SNOWSEY

something is very wrong with him

"dont wanna kiss it
dont wanna listen
im only dancing with the sun
dont wanna risk it
dont wanna wrist slit
only romancing with the stars
nothing really left to say
nothing really left to do

cockin my pistol
i need the distance
i stand behind you in this war
don't wanna guess who
lost in the new school
you're in the headlights of my car
no more reasons left to stay
no more reasons left to lose

run down summertime
total psycho paraphrase
tell me something to believe
one-two K$

dont wanna kiss it
dont wanna listen
im only dancing with the sun
dont wanna miss it
dont wanna wrist slit
only romancing with the stars
nothing really left to say
nothing really left to do

one-two K$"

ONE-TWO K$

Something special

Reborn

[Verse 1]  
Your smile - a dawn that splits the midnight’s veil,  
A fleeting warmth where shadows come to fail.  
Your eyes - twin oceans carved in starlit stone,  
They pull me under, yet I’m never alone.  
My fingers trace the velvet of your cheek,  
A whispered prayer upon your skin so meek.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Every whisper of your voice, it calls my name,  
A siren’s hymn that sets my soul aflame.

[Chorus]  
You’re the ember in my chest, the fire in my veins,  
Your warmth consumes the cold, dissolves my chains.  
When you rest upon my heart, your breath against my skin,  
I’m alive within your tide, where my world begins.  
Oh, my muse, my endless flame, don’t ever fade away - 
Your hips, your grace, your gaze… I’m bound to stay.

[Verse 2]  
Your walk - a symphony of silken dreams,  
Each step a ripple in my heart’s still streams.  
Your hips - like crescent moons that light my night,  
They sway, a compass to my drifting light.  
When you press against me, time frays at the seams,  
Your arms - a haven draped in twilight seams.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Your voice - a velvet blade that carves my name,  
It lingers, haunts, and fuels this endless flame.

[Bridge]  
When your eyes lock with mine, the heavens hold their breath,  
A fleeting glimpse of eternity, defying life and death.  
Your face against my bearded jaw - a sanctuary sweet,  
I’d burn the stars to keep you here, to make this moment keep.  
I’m tethered to your soul - a moth to your eclipse,  
Each heartbeat sings your name - it trembles on my lips.

[Breakdown]  
Don’t slip away! Don’t fade to gray!  
Your warmth, your fire - MY ONLY WAY!  
I’d chase your shadow through the void’s embrace,  
To feel your heart, to see your face!  
Hold me close! Don’t let me fall!  
You’re my everything - my all!

[Outro]  
Your name’s a hymn that haunts my every breath,  
A sacred vow I’ll carry until death.  
Don’t let me lose the spark that you ignite -  
My endless flame… my lighthouse in the night.
