Intro song I did for FAWM

Lyrics:

Wake in the morning and 
Shake off the night
Chase off the yawning and
Make it a sigh
Brace for the moment
The brightness of light
Basic atonement
Disciple of sight
Colors unfolding in covers I'm forming
And fall into place in a stasis dissolving
A present dependence, abandon the wait
A present intention to land in the space
Bass I evolve in a cadence of falling
Feet as I creep into paces involving
Steps to the dresser, I plan for the day
Steps to impress a demand to display a
Certain demeanor I feature in fabric
Clothes that enclose all I'm seeking to fashion
Cash in the feeling, a t-shirt and pants,
Passionate breathing, I keep up the dance in
A stance that I plant in the mirror I'm peering
Peeling the layers a prayer appearing
"Let my appearance be just enough"
Level the fearing and focus on trust
Trust in the process and toss out the toxic
Tempting preempting resentment I'm lost in
Hate in behavior I cannot dispel
Break off the anger and anchor the swell
Hold to the moment, the brightness of light
Chosen devotion, disciple of sight
Don't let the groaning result in your strife
Open the exit and enter your life 


First Light

In collaboration with Rowan Kingsbury (Vocals & lyrics for the beach narc) and Alanis Hamblin (Production).

Had a lot of fun recording this with Rowan, unfortunately failed to save our first version of her vocals and our shared screams at the end but I think the end result is still pretty great. Look out for the Beach Narc!!

PS we forgot to bump up the master on the initial post, it should be much louder now

Lyrics:

{level}
At the beach were having fun
Splashing waves and doin drugs 
Intoxicated causing ruckus
Making noise like they can't touch us
Slapping ass, tossing trash
On the sand and in the grass
Bottles crashing spraying glass and
Dancing round the fire flashing
In the water cousin Finn
Fucking with a pod of dolphins
Underneath the undercurrent
Something stirring undercover
Power vroom, in the distance
Out of view of all the miscreants 
Sand is pluming, engine hissing
This man has a single mission 

{Rowan}
Hey you
If you don’t stop I’ll arrest you
No this is not a test you
Better stop what you’re doing
I’ll be back to check ya, you betcha

{Level}
Fuck that shit we call his bluff
Toss that gas and make it puff
Hotbox ain't got nothing on the
Smoke erupting like a thunder
Open orgie, ass and tits
Cousin Finn in full offense
Back he comes, no fire quenched
His veins are popping, skin is drenched

{Rowan}
I-I am obliged to tell you
I am carrying a lethal weapon
I’m not at all afraid to use it
Quit your fun, I’ve got a gun

{Level}
Laugh and yell “An idle threat.
You can't shoot us, make a bet. 
Either lead will crown and down us
Or your bed is six feet down bud.
We won't stop, a little bit.
We the top you little man.
Make your move you cannot break up
All this groove and pretty makeup.”
Back to dancing, smokin, fuckin
Acting like his gun is nothin
Hula hoopin cummin buckets
Cousin Finn is up to something
There he stands, fizzling
Skin aflame, sizzling
Gun in hand, he points it skyward
Pulling trigger gun is fired 

{Rowan}
I didn’t mean to shoot those seagulls
But that’ll be you if you don’t quit your
Very illegal actions
That’s a threat, for your infractions

{Level}
We all start by taking stock
Two gulls killed, a single shot
This man means a lotta business
But this ain't an isle prison
“We won't stop so give it up.
Take a lap or grab a cup. 
Only thing that kills the party
Is a shooting spree safari

{rowan}
ALL RIGHT! THAT’S IT!

Beach Narc (with Rowan Kingsbury)

Lyrics:

It starts in darkness 
Thick as cloth 
A common coffin caught in
Complex thoughts
Tick toc like clocks in
Cosmic twisted top spinning
Shots insisting audience
In distant coughs 
No poppycock
Popping rocks
Tip tap and toss and 
Snicker at my silly
Milling melody emoting
Million meridians in lock step
Harmony
Possibly persisting as
A wind of whistling wistful
Wizardry or is it me
Or maybe Phil and his
Philosophy
Phosphorus and brimstone 
Talk an apple off a tree
Treated as belief
As a team of teaming
Tinsil tension sensation
Surrounds a simile 
Assimilated into beats
Bereaved berated
And betrayed it slays
The savior sacred
Made of light and full of anguish
Came and went and
Sent again into the fray
Hurray!
He made his way to 
Recreate courageous 
Acts attracting accurate
Depictions of our active
Imagination 
Raging still
Caged and filled in
By sharpie markers
Made of sharks serrated
Sharp as modern slavery
Harkened from our ancient anchors
Dragged in flags and mad dash 
Slash and burn arrangements
Crops of politics 
Embedded in a constant fight or flight 
Instinct, trinkets twinkle
From the eyes of basilisk
Bask in it and you'll be
Made of stone and shone 
Your own abyss
Made of ignorance
In place of inner bliss
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it?

Done in one take. Just something fun to mess around with, think of it as an interlude.

"Lyrics":

Welcome welcome welcome 
To the interstellar sellers ad!
All are welcome to tag along
We have many items for sale today

We'll start with the stale loaf of human bread
Fossilized in shreds of local newspapers
From the 1970s

As you see it's heavy and quite dense
And may make a decent bludgeoning weapon

Next we have the door bell teleporter,
Press the button and you'll be sent 
A distance very far from where you are
Based on the owners intent

Really the best solution to ding dong ditch
A metaphysical bitch whose off her head
 
Or if instead you prefer, we have 
Illustrious obnixian fur from planet 
Pan Spermia 4

A fortune to be sure but
Just look at that shine on the
Pentacle-plated velure

More suited to the higher esteem folk
We got the golden globe coke 
Laced with the blood of twelve
Especially chosen actors and actresses
From across the ages

It'll make your brain zoom faster
Than light can ever catch or save you

For those of you looking for some savings
Do I have the deal for you
Just take a look at this three toed shoe
It's got a bit of a tear at the tip
And perhaps the stitching isn't the best
But you can't detest that price
Thats right, we're giving it away for free
Just pay this small fee
Of 13.33

For those of you who'd like to flee from parties faster than the paparazzi can
Match
We have this new high fashion hat
With helicopter blades attached

It will send you flying high into the sky or ceiling fan
Perhaps you can make a friend

Fashion isn't the old thing we have today
We also have this aged bread
Still for sale to whoever would like 
Someone dead

Oh and one last thing for sale
A shred of dignity
Torn from the tree of knowledge
Sprouting out of God's head
Truly it is priceless,
But today we're giving it away to whoever
Wants to feel self righteous

Lyrics:

A wave crests and falls upon
The same tense surface it sits
Lifting and shifting its stance

In a sense it doesn't exist

In another this rift reveals the chance
We all have 

To persist
And twist
And energize
Insist

We are one and many
And many we become
On and on again
We are never done 
We leave our past undone 
To cast our image upon
The surface of the future 
Immanently crowned
The king of the eternal now
But only for now
And then it's gone
Tomorrow has come
And on its arrival 
The now cannot survive
It seems that the I
Comes to collide
With the you that ensues
The essence inside
The shine in your eye
That makes you alive
The seething desire
Designing the ride
And through and through
Perpetual glide
We seemlessly slide
Through moments in time 
Tangled in tangible
Facets of style
Making it manageable
To stay for awhile
Intact in the manacles
Made from the I
But waves overflow
All the bounds that confine
And all you can know
Is all you can find
In phase with the tune
Ingrained in your mind
In raining monsoons
A drop is a prize
And flowers will bloom
If you only had eyes
Seeing the truth
Contained in the signs
That everyone moves
By everyones’ guide
And fitting the groove
Is fitting the vibe
And we can improve
By tracing the lines
Into a fate
We co-define
A circling lake
Spiraling high
Made by the traits 
None can deny
Perpetuated
By you and I

Perpetuate

Lyrics:
The open arms invite you
To open up and see
The overtones inside you
Alive you, can breathe

The open arms arrive you
Know you can believe
The overload of violence
Can find it's relief

With open arms around you
Like oceans on the sea
The open arms surround you
And bound you, in peace

You hope it all survives you
Your troubles and disease
Your floating falling flying
Colliding, released

The foam of all arising
In waves of misery 
Dissolve in the horizon
Subsiding, serene

A momentary rhyming
Of you and me in sync
Enfolded in alignment
Enshrining this beat 

The beat of wings in timing
The rush of air beneath
The seat of all the striving
To climb underneath

The skin that you're providing
The mask you share with me
The single sole confinement
From shining, I see

The soul within your eyes it
Flows in every peek
And pulls in my desiring
Imbibing, I drink

Your open arms around me
Like oceans on the sea
Your open arms surround me
And bound me, in peace

When open arms arrive I 
Know I can believe
The overload of trauma
Can find it's relief

‘cause open arms invite me
To open up and see
The overtones inside me
Alive I, can breathe

open arms

Lyrics:

Bump to the beat of
The heart hot freezing
Hot in the morning but
Cold in the evening 
Cold when you call but
Hot when you see me
Hard to keep up when
My heart’s uneven 
Deceiving, thieving
Every stable truth
A challenge to keep up
I couldn't blame you
I couldn't hear you speak up
In silence that grew
Until you pumped the speaker
And told me “we're through”
“What I do?”
“I mean I didn't want a feud
So kept it hidden deeper and
The feeling it grew
'Til it blew”
“I wish you would've 
Spoken to me,
I didn't know how blue
Your mood happened to be
But move me, let me
Hear the ugly truth.”
“The truth is I'm fed up
With always switching shoes,
Feeling used, but I 
Know it's not abuse. 
Just that our hearts aren't
Beating in tune”

Bump to the beat of
The heart unseeing
Hopelessly lost in
The waves unfeeling
Scared to just talk and
Too scared to be secret
Constantly caught in 
The place in between a
Feeling, dealing
With my troubled youth
A feeling I should seal up
The things I can't choose
And yet I gotta speak up
Or I feel I will lose
The part that makes me human
The heart I can't soothe
What do I do?
Doomed to always just delay it,
Wait another day and
Maybe I can say it.
Face it, your face can't 
Fake it, it betrays it;
Better just to change 
The pace and maybe chase the
Basic emotions held inside frame
Make the motions melt inside a flame
Wake commotion shelved inside your brain, and
Save the notions felt inside your name
You are sane
You are sane 
…
Bump to the beat of
Our heart stuck bleeding
Tearing apart in
The shock and seizing
Falling is hard
Like the leaves in the season 
Something is lost
And we can't un-see it
Clean it, leave it
Let it be bereaving
Reason can't compete with 
Pieces this upheaving
So leave it, maybe it'll 
Be repeated but believe it
Needs some time 
To find it's feeting


heart pt. 1

Lyrics:
Oooo that's hot!
Man the weather outside is really
Freezing freezing freezing freezing
But I don't mind it anyway

Tea on a freezing day melts the snow away
Easy to feel at ease, let it blow away
Steeping just speaks a secret, a stowaway
Feeling that feeds the souls never go away

Golden, rays, warm up my face
Sip the aroma hold it in place
Tongue tip strollin’ savor the taste
Know that snow ain't cold in this place

Hey, you, keeping the tune
Tip tap tapping feeling the groove
Let that passion bust up a move
Move that body following suit

Well you know, 
Moving around can really get you
Breathing breathing breathing breathing
But I don't mind it anyways

Tea on a freezing day melts the snow away
Easy to feel at ease, let it blow away
Steeping just speaks a secret, a stowaway
Feeling that feeds the souls never go away

Golden, rays, warm up my face
Sip the aroma hold it in place
Tongue tip strollin’ savor the taste
Know that snow ain't cold in this place

Hey, me, ain't that just sweet
Swing swing swinging onto my feet
Ain't no thing can bring it so cheap
Tea and singing makes me complete


tea on a freezing day

Intro dialogue from a youtube interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRHqOvrMN9w&t=1934s

Lyrics:
(Daniel)
We can't expect people to behave and treat us the way we want if we do not take that one moment to be courageous and say “Hey, this is a weird thing man, but would you mind doing this?”or just be like “No one listens. No one is hearing me scream.” And that's true, because we scream in the dark alone. The inside-out man eats us each one by one in silence and we wait in line like kids in a kindergarten fire drill to be devoured by something we have no control over. How about someone turn on the light and we all say “screw this, turn around, let's go talk about this and leave this line.” Communication is the key to making life better in all aspects every time.

(levelevel)
Ceiling it talks in
Whispers and echoes
Leaving me lost, exhausted
Trapped in toxic
Self talk taught 
By concepts
Caught by thoughts I 
Got in process
-ing my wing clipped
Memory dropping
Dropped off cliffs 
In family coffins
Death I wished for
Fairly often 
But the thought of my
Non-existence
Kept me cautious
What if I'm missed by
Sisters and brothers
What if I'm missed by 
Fathers and mothers
What if they miss my 
Tricks to distract from
All of their twisting
Of one another
Smothering flames
I constantly stomp out
Thump thumping
My heart pumps the
Harm out
Harmony rings of
Bell beaten
Hard, now
All of these are
Filling my
Heart, ow
…
That hurts
All of this thinking
Making it worse
What if I close my eyes
And disperse
All of these thoughts
In mind
Will it work?
… … … …
Still in my mind
I can't seem to sleep
Can't ever stop
The things that I think
Kick and I toss 
And turn and repeat
Peat petering out
Cannot drown the piece of
Me that's 
Screaming 
Weeping
Reaching
Deepened
Fears that
Feed the 
Demon
Inside-out man
Tearing its teeth in
All I care to 
Bear in my grief a

From the
Blood I’m
Bleeding
Flesh of
My en

How do I clean
My self-imagery?
How i do seek
The help that I'm needing?
Wrestle
With the
Festered
Lesion
Fight all the patterns
Though they are legion
Turn all my battles
Into achievements
Channel that passion
Into believing
I am
More than
What I'm
Feeling
More than my actions
I am the meaning
I am compassion
I am the hope
I am the last thing
Pulling the rope
Out of
My own
Self de
-cieving
Thinking I'm shackled
Hiding the key when
I am the captain
Locking this secret
Guarding this prison
Made of my regrets
Break the
Bars and
Set me 
Free then
Though they are hard
I carve out my freedom
Making a start
To follow my leading 
Everything sharp
And my enemy is
Just a 
Part of
What I'm 
Speaking
Chaining my feelings
Into a sequence
Gaining what's lost I
Don't need the defense
Lead all my thoughts to
Comforting me and
Sleep

Lyrics:
Scrolling through the feed 
Of my home page
I wholly fade
Into clips, vids, 
I click like
And click play
Camera eye watches
I click play
And click like
Money spits out
My eyes glaze
They cash out

Refill my home page
More feed
More brain rot
Seeps creeps fills
My own name
Is slashed out
Repeat the meme
And seem sane
Or They may
Repeat a lie
That they deem
Is still the same

Focus, they're stealing
You're home sweet home, home
Don't just, just sit back
And let it go, go
Fight back better than
They can, can fetter your hold,hold
We will never be
Given back control

Patterned data travels
Emphatic analysts analyze 
And add another additive 
Addled terrorist paralyzer
Sterilize the masses in
Mass surveillance desensitized 
To tacit ties to management
Manic panic is fossilized
Fascinate ‘em, entertainment 
Fasten them and enter brain to
Fascinate ‘em, entertainment 
Fasten them and enter brain to

home sweet home

Lyrics:
Light through the leaves was
Like the green 
Eyes I meet
Face to face
We greet
We didn't speak for weeks
Weakly smiling
Hesitate to leap
Into a conversation deep
“It's a really a beautiful day”
“I agree”
“I'm so glad you could make it out to see me”
“I'm really so glad I came out here as well”
And at that moment I fell

The heart sparks feelings anew 
Ignite those feelings and the feeling it grew
It grows and glows and our love is the fuel
And if our heart sparks make it then 
Our loving is true
X2

“Do you want to kiss?”
You whispered sweetly, how could I resist?
Hands touched skin touched lips
My mind completely is an abyss

After we acquaint ourselves
With bells and whistles and 
Birds and bees we please ourselves
To sit and think 
What led our relationship to near death
And what have we done to bring back from brink?
That sinking ship stranded her at the edge of the world
 And forced her to curl inward and internalize her own worth
Accept her solitude not as curse but as a calling to reach out to Mother Earth

As for me, I started picturing
What it means to not be a people pleaser
Boundaries
Communication is key to set
The expectations I wish to see
In others, yes I'm in therapy
With this growth in mind
We find ourselves thinking
Of maybe you and me
Together again
Finally
Our heart sparks feelings anew
And with this love it is true
