Trust Fall

Lyrics:

I'm trying my best not to slip away
I slip into a world that I can't convey
I'd rather not fake, medicate, or erase it
But I can see a pattern and I'm trying to break it

To live and to die; A living disguise
To run away from problems that are brewing inside
Places to hide; Places to hide
To run away from truths that I'd rather deny
I slip into a world that I can't convey
So all I ever do is close-up
Instead of ever finding closure

I'm trying my best not to disobey
A standard expectation of society
I'd rather not break, desecrate, or deface it
But I can see a pattern and I'm starting to hate it

To live and to die; A living disguise
To run away from problems that are growing in size
Places to hide; Places to hide
To run away from truths that we'd rather deny
I'm looking at a world that I can't convey
So all I ever do is close-up
Instead of ever finding closure


I'm trying my best not to hesitate
Succumbing to a twisted reality
I'd rather not shake, predicate, or mistake it
But I can see a pattern that I'm trying to (break)

To live and to die; A living disguise
To run away from problems that are growing in size
Places to hide; Places to hide
To run away from truths that we'd rather deny
I'm looking at a world that I can't convey
So all I ever do is close-up
Instead of ever finding closure

To salvage my pride
To run and to hide
To get away from people who are willing to try
Places to hide; Places to hide
Pleasure nice to meet you now I'm saying good-bye
I slipped into a world that I can't convey
So all I ever do is close-up
Instead of ever finding closure

Catch Me Slippin'

[Lyrics]

This world is pretty rough
You can learn a thousand lessons
Still not enough
You can go your whole life
And count them all
Find your total
And still feel small
Well I still feel small
I still feel small
I’m knocking on the door
No response at all

Until that moment arrives
And through the silence
It comes out from the inside
It springs forth like
Like an answer to the prayers of a mother
To the despair of another
And it remains there
A new fact
A new format
Now it exists on the outside
It’s situated on the precipice 
And as it leans against the rest of it
It gently plays in a way so sublime
The way a child plays in a field of grass for the very first time
The way a reason makes it’s way to rhyme

What was it? What was it then?
I was so convinced. I was so convinced.
Just looking for a bigger picture.
Through every moment, through every cycle of night.
How could I?
Have turned my own eye.
How could I?
Have turned my own eye.
How could I?

[Lyrics]

Take me to the far side
Stand me in the high tide
Do I belong to this world

Tell me where a life goes
Take me where the light flows
I just want to know

What was it they said?
Well it was quite a lie.
Don’t be afraid to lose it all, you see. 
In death you shall not die.

Go ahead, try
See the roots down below
Go ahead
Don’t you want to know?

What is it like
What might I find
Should I defy
Should I defy
The word of the beast
Swaying my mind
The choice is mine
The choice is mine
Don’t you want to know?

I’ve seen the light within
I’m reminded of myself
It makes more sense to take a chance 
Than to leave suspicions on the shelf
This place is not what it seems
Don’t deny what you have felt
You can trust the make believe
Or take a chance and trust yourself

Take me to the far side
Stand me in the high tide
Do I belong to this world?

I plucked it from a great height
I felt a source of great light
Guess the snake was right
Guess I’ll take a bite

Tell me where a life goes
Take me where the light flows
Do I belong to this world?

I plucked it from a great height
I felt a source of great light
Guess the snake was right
Guess I’ll take a bite

[Lyrics]

There’s a broken balance at the heart of me
Flashes of myself I travel far to see
I step into the lives of every part of me (every part of me)
But every single time I’m left in disbelief

I’m short and then tall
I’m hot and then cold
I’m sad and then glad 
I’m new and then old
I’m reason to rhyme
I’m space and then time
But then again, I live and I die

What is it? (What is it)
This thing that I am
I think that I might
Out of fear of the sight
Have my head in the sand
I’m lost and confused but I don’t give a damn
So I lift up my head

I wonder why
I look to the sky
I’m looking around at distant stars
I’m spinning around around around

I wonder why
I’m hoping to find
An answer to time among the stars
While spinning around around around

I trip on my words
Then point to my scrawl
I pick up the phone
to hang up the call
I search for a truth
No reason at all
But then again, I rise and I fall

What is it? (What is it)
This thing that I am
I think that I might
Out of fear of the sight
Have my head in the sand
I’m lost and confused but I don’t give a damn
It may seem obtuse, but...

There’s a broken balance at the heart of me
Flashes of myself I travel far to see
I step into the lives of every part of me 
I live and die
And now I’m left to wonder

Why
I look to the sky
I’m looking around at distant stars
I’m spinning around around around

I wonder why
I’m hoping to find
An answer to time among the stars
While spinning around around around

Who has the time
Who knows what we are
I’m taking a trip to distant stars
I’m hoping to spin around around around into my self

I’ve been a tree, a flea, a snake in time

A Snake in Time

A Snake In Time

[Lyrics]

Waiting for the right time.
Look out from the inside.
Waiting for the right time.
Look out from the inside.
Just waiting…
Just waiting...

Until the moment arrives.

How could this be? How could this be?
Woke from a dream… destined to be...
A human like me. A human like me.
Scared, existing so invertedly.  

A life to proclaim. It calls out our name.
We let out a cry but we can’t speak the same.
Born into love… Born into pain…
Torn from the source that claims it.

Home bound, the wrong way around.
Light leaked through unopened eyes.
Earth sound. A change most profound.
A rhythm I can’t recognize.
Up. Down. The space that surrounds.
Defining my placement in time
Compound… The senses confound.

Until the moment arrives.
 
How could this be? How could this be?
Woke from a sleep… to look up and see. 
A human like me. A human like me.
Scared, and struggling to take care of things.

Fight through the aches. Shake us awake.
We let out a cry and embrace our mistakes. 
Born to the crown. Taking the reign.
Torn from the source that claims it. 

False crown, that turns us around.
Light leaked through unopened eyes.
Ghost town. A change most profound.
A rhythm I can’t recognize.
Break down. The memory astounds.
Defining my placement in time
Inbound… The heart starts to pound.

Until the moment arrives.

Hiraeth

“By being natural and sincere, one often can create revolutions without having sought them.”
― Christian Dior

Twice For Yes

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.”
― Jim MORRISON

Illusion Of Self

“The first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man.”
― Huey P. Newton

Aching

“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”
― Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

Calme

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
― Buckminster Fuller

Life As A Ripple

“People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take.”
― Emma Goldman

Will It So

“But I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is... to tell the truth.”
― Howard Zinn, Marx in Soho: A Play on History

Who's Invited

“This I want to believe implicitly: Man was born for love and revolution.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun

Strange Benediction

Instrumentation is a profound gift. Your cognitive intention plucking the strings of something more tangible. Will turned to action; potential into kinetic. This ability to express, to share, and to inspire is crucial. So here's to us, who celebrate this phenomenon through music, talent, and community.
