Like leeches to a wounded fox - I can be to you
Or a brother to another, a sister and on and on
I think it’s safe to say we are drunkenly roaming the streets trying to get home
Whatever it is that brought me here will eventually have to take me there
Bitten twice by the same snake
No hope for me
First, to the one that begat me
What happened I used to be so fearless?
Fear struck a chord and it made a home
It felt like a had no choice
Second, to the being that thinks he made me
I’ve judged you so unfairly.
Sometimes (it feels like) I hardly know you
Sometimes it feels like i'm better off without you
I can’t see
Where you are
Where I am
In the mess of everything
In the mess of everything
But still you draw me in, you pull me out
You gave the first bite that brought me here and the second will take me out
Take me out
Come on now sing
sing a song of rejoice
That this won’t last forever
Come on now sing
Sing a song for your old man
Maybe he did you wrong
But you won’t be like him
Come on now sing
Sing a song of rebellion
Sing a song of letting go
When it’s time to mourn
Sing a song of sorrow
Sing a song of love
Sing a song of hope
Sing a song of peace
And of moving forward
Sing a song

Like rotten wood meant to be the cornerstone of a home
Speaking in tongues I know so well
sour to taste bitter to hold
(I know another one just like it)
More just like it
Crosshatched deliverance
From my words, for my sister and for my brother
the sun is setting on them far too quick
Let it go, or make your tongue bleed
Let it go
Crossbiter don't make narrow the road
For those who need it dripping in cold

When you’re looking at the way you were raised
Every son sees his dad in disdain
Take a clenched fist to an open jaw
Just to notice that never spoke at all
You’re worried sick about your poor mother
The look of anger when you left your brother
See yourself through your own damned eyes
And take a moment when you realize
I’ll run away from the martyr
A death without cause for me?
I was born with no identity
I can’t believe you
I can’t believe in you
I can’t believe this
Selfless loss of life?
Selfless act of love?
“El respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz”
Look at me
Well I’ve no dignity
I care of no one, but myself

Close the serpent's mouth
Maybe the serpent is me
Why can’t we see that the stones between you and I
In sunlight they both look diseased
We close our eyes as the speck’s disguise
We breed the blood the poor grow to hate
Oh and it grows, they’re unsettled.
Annihilation - resentment’s never laid to waste
Lay me to waste
I covet the shine
Lay me to waste
I’ll only waste your time
Born here, but I belong over there
The bastard son of nothing
Annihilation take care of me
a weak minded coward that serves nobody
There's nothing here
The synonymous existence of living and suffering
is only made worse by the brother that's not listening
Coward
Coward am I
if I take it back
won't you take me home?
I am no one
I’m at a loss for words
Lay me to waste
(teach me to speak)
In silence there are no answers

Teacher - light me the way
I have an empty pearl
Worthless, but it's mine
Well I am indignant
Well I lack love
Like a creature blinded
From staring up too long
Don't move
Don't get frustrated
I have no control
Totally silenced by decaying teeth - stay calm
Look in my eyes I am just a creature
In silence there are no answers
Explain, teacher.

Speak slow with a glass jaw
Hatebreeder
Resentment feeder
Like vultures into open caskets
Is the venom that you’re piercing in the veins of the frantic
Well I think you should try and speak to me
Wise boy let me hear your words
Well I think you should try and speak to me
Semantics melt despite your words
Speak to me
Slow eyes
Dead words
I'm not your son
I'm not your boy
Slow eyes
Dead words
No home
No rose

Under Red Water

I am the man who has seen affliction
He’s driven and brought me to gloom
There’s no light
Surely against me he turns his hand
He’s broken my bones, bitterness surrounds me.
Under the rod of his wrath
Oh my soul
Is looking for humility
For serenity
For peace of mind
And for a time where I can’t tell if you and I are different
My souls remembers
My soul will cry
But I call to mind
That I have hope
We have hope
No chance of passing with walls so high
Though you cause grief, please have compassion
Though the path I walk was was made crooked
I will stand
All of our enemies open their mouths against us
My eyes flow with rivers.

No rose for me, no rose for you
There’s pain within the movement
I’m standing still so my mistakes can catch up to me
Aren’t I your son?
Do you raise your fist against me?
Even an injured bird won't accept water from me
I’m plagued
Take, take what you can
Take in one hand put it in the other
Knowing damn well he’s not my brother
Knowing damn well he’s not my blood
He’s not the one you seek
I’ve been deceived
Look at the color of my skin
(I’ve been in the sun) away from this
Love - love is never fleeting
