1.
It's not for you, it's all for me, Spitting spite and pulling teeth I give to you, you take from me. Spitting spite and pulling teeth a lover, a doll, a mother, a friend you don't see me. not in the end. Is this all I am? Is this all we know? To motherless boys, who use us for growth?
2.
Empty are the hands, that grasp for the light The wind is heavy as we lose our sight. Dull is the mind that stays in the same place, apathy grows and we stay the same. Into the fire, into the flame Scream into the void, it knows you by name Apathy grows into a rotten brain Stagnancy sets as we stay the same Sightless searching with empty hands Counting debts, countless demands.
3.
Hungry boys take from my cup Tireless feeding, it's never enough. Mommy's tired of cleaning shit and filth Spun in the silk of mothers milk Mommy's tired, I'll take a rest Get your mouth off my breast.
4.
Ishmael 02:14
Knitting needles and making knots There's an ache inside as we begin to rot Placed my pain on a pedestal gave power a new name it was subliminal Don't want to work to gain I'll be a criminal they gave your pain a name it was subliminal The seed of freedom, repressed in us all There's a patience fleeting as we wait for the call an endless cycle, it's all that we know the longer we remain, the more apathy grows A culture built on ugly agenda without man would there be no gorilla? A beaten path of genocide an endless war and we all turn an eye
5.
Smog 01:29
Absent mind motions Billow regret Carry numb bodies Collecting debt Cry for relief No end in sight Decaying bodies with decaying minds Rip it out Terror, manic, clouded billowing death Earth losing her final breath.
6.
Mama raised a god fearing man cleaned from sin with nails in his hands My god is good, my god is grand my god carries a gun in his hands My mother worries, my mother cries your heart is empty, and your god has died My faith was broken like the twist of the knife
7.
In green pastures the bright sun is clear The devil and angel are playing in my ears friends laughter tickling my brain warmth and joy, numbing the pain If only for moments, we fight for relief We're all we've got to survive the grief The anger sits along side the love, In the distance our dogs playing in a puddle of mud
