This song is about political predation I started to see, beginning in the US, around 2000. It got far worse, in my estimation, around 2010. It's a song I had bouncing around in my cluttered mind for years, but never actually sat down and flushed out until 2010. Or so? I dunno. The final lines "don't place blind faith in black snake politicians" is an overt reference to fossil fuel corporations, their corrupt relationships with politicians in the US and abroad, and corporate capture of the US government. I got the idea from the indigenous legend "Prophesy of the black snake." Pipelines and oil trains, the visible signs as literal power is amassed and America literally divided. Americans, literally divided. Political power isn't as easy to see, but t's just as destructive. More so.

at any cost

they will prey upon your sympathy
they will tear our bands apart
and they will break your back, your will, your brain
so they can take whatever they can gain

they'll see you dead to keep in power
you're just opposition to devour
why are you loyal to the cowards?
sweet liberty turned bitter, sour

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

it doesn't matter much what happened here today
cause if it don't make the cover page...
they want you to forget the things they did and said
so they can do it all again another day

when blood is spilled for their desire
and they have all that they require
they'll tell you "freedom's cost" is higher
take honest words back from the liars

is that the cost? (x3)
is that too high?
too high now

don't place blind faith in black snake politicians
they'll make you so afraid, can't even pay, pay attention

Marginalia

if you've been mistreated, misunderstood, hurt and disappointed you become a carefree. Listen to this one and you'll understand the feeling.

i don't care

I Don't Care

There Is No One In The Room

When we fall in love we dream of a great future with our other halves, but our other halves don't always have the same in mind so once they eat they're cake they start acting up and leave, and you start asking yourself 'Zvakaendepiko' meaning Where is all that love n affection...., reminiscing over the good old days.

Zvakaendepiko

Collaboration between @sphaerasportal and @user-325797522
Music Laar
Vocals and Lyrics Sphaera

Lyrics:

Let the inspiration strike like lightening and charge the living flame
Within without throughout the fabric of existence
Keep it shining through the rain
Hold the flame
Find a way to keep it balanced
And bring love to a new day
To a new day

Even in the midst of oppression
May you find a way to shelter your love and compassion for the soul of the world deserves the best that we can give
Nurture it with peace and goodwill for everything that lives

Look out to the stars in the sky
So very far away
Bursting into the darkness
Bringing potential for new life
In their decay

Embrace the change (x9)

Embrace the changes
We will all die sometime
While we’re still here though
Why don’t we just try
To let the inspiration strike like lightening and charge the living flame
Within without throughout the fabric of existence keep it shining through the rain hold the flame find a way to keep it balanced and bring love to a new day to a new day

 Thanks @CoastalMichelle for joining me on the chorus and bridge.  -JM

when the smoke clears
come back and tell me your intentions
i should get out of here
but i'm so weak when it comes to you

find me now
if only it could be that easy
you know you wore me down
and i can't breathe when it comes to you

another row of white lines 
in my rear view
flash back to you in my t-shirt
you belong in my california nights 
you and i, under an orange sky

and tell me everything you never said
this time
tell me everything you never said

when the smoke clears
find me, i'll make some confessions
i can't look away
you shimmer like silver in the sun 

underground
you are buried inside me
i will write it down
'cause i can't speak when it comes to you

and when you come up for air
you know i will still be there
 
oh love of mine, you live inside me now
oh love of mine, i see you when the sun goes down

another row of white lines
in my rear view
flash back to you in my t-shirt
you belong in my california nights
you and i, under an orange sky

and tell me everything you never said
this time
tell me everything you never said

oh love of mine
(tell me everything you never said)

oh love of mine
(please tell me everything you never said)

oh love of mine
oh love of mine
oh love of mine
oh love of mine
oh love of mine
