Daughter
alone..
listless..
breakfast table in an otherwise empty room.
a young girl..
violens..
center of her own attention.
mother reads aloud, child
tries to understand it
tries to make her proud.
the shades go down
its in her head
painted room
can't deny theres something wrong.
don't call me daughter
not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter
not fit to
the picture kept will remind me

she holds the hand.. that holds her down
she will... rise above
don't call me daughter
not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter
not fit to be
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter
not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter
not fit to be
the picture kept will remind me

DISSIDENT
she nursed him there
over a night
I wasn't so sure
she wanted him to stay
what to say.. what to say
but soon she was down
soon he was low
at a quarter past.. a holy no
she had to turn around
when she couldn't hold.. she folded
a dissident is here
escape is never.. the safest path
oh.. a dissident.. a dissident is here
and to this day.. she's glided on
always home but so far away
like a word misplaced
nothing said.. what a waste
when she had contact.. with the conflict
there was meaning
but she sold him to the state
she had to turn around
when she couldn't hold.. she folded
a dissident is here
escape is never the safest path
oh.. a dissident.. a dissident is here
she gave him away
when she couldn't hold.. no.. she folded
a dissident is here
escape is never the safest path
oh.. a dissident.. a dissident is here
couldn't hold on.. she couldn't hold
she folded
a dissident is here
escape is never the safest place
a dissident is here

he won the lottery
when he was born
took his mothers white breast to his tongue
trained like dogs
color and smell
walks by me to get to him

one way needle
pull so slowly
drains and spills
soaks the pages
fills there sponges
its my blood

painted big

one of his enemies
its my blood
its my blood
its my blood
stab it down
fill the pages
????????????
??? of my enemies
REARVIEWMIRROR
I took a drive today
time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings
made me wise
I'm not about to give thanks
or apologize
I couldn't breath
holdin' me down
hand on my face
kiss the ground
enmity guaged
knotted by fear
'posed to endure
what I could not.. forgive
I seemed to look away
wounds in the mirror waved
it wasn't my surface
most defiled
head at your feet
fool to your crown
fist on my plate
swallowed it down
enmity guage
knotted by fear
tried to endure
what I could not forgive
saw things
saw things
saw things
saw things
clearer
clearer
once you.. were in my
rearviewmirror
I gather speed
from you fucking with me
once and for all
I'm far away
hardly believe
finally the shades
are raised.
saw things so much clearer
once you.. once you..
rearviewmirror
saw things so much clearer
once you.. once you..
rearviewmirror
saw things so much clearer
once you.. once you..
rearviewmirror
saw things so much clearer
once you
RATS
they don't eat
don't sleep
they don't feed
they don't seethe
bare their gums when they moan and squeak
lick the dirt off a larger ones feet
they don't push
don't crowd
congregate until they're much too loud
fuck to procreate til they are dead
drink the blood of their so called best friend
they don't scurry when something bigger
comes their way
don't pack themselves together
and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take whats not theirs
they don't compare
they don't scam
don't fight
don't oppress an equals given rights
starve the poor so they can be well fed
line their holes with the dead ones breed
they don't scurry when something bigger
comes their way
don't pack themselves together
and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take whats not theirs
they don't compare
they don't scurry when something bigger
comes their way
don't pack themselves together
and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take whats not theirs
they don't compare
rats
they don't compare
rats
they don't compare

ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN
I seem to recognize.. your face
haunting familiar yet
I can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought
to light your name
lifetimes are catching up
with me
all these changes taking place
I wish I'd seen the place
but no ones ever taken me
hearts and thought they fade
fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
I swear I recognize your breath
memories like fingerprints
are slowly raising
me you wouldn't recall
for I'm not my former
its hard when your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
small town predicts my fate
perhaps thats what no one wants to see
I just want to scream.. hello
my god its been so long
never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are
and here I am
hearts and thoughts they fade
away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade
away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
LEASH

it was their idea
I proved to be a man

it was their idea
I proved to be a man
will myself to find a home
a home within myself
we will find a way
we will find our place

INDIFFERENCE
I will light the match this mornin'
so I won't be alone
watch as she lies silent
but soon light will be gone
oh I will stand arms outstretched
pretend I'm free to roam
oh I will make my way through one more day
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
I will hold the candle
'til it burns up my arm
oh I'll keep takin' punches
'til their will grows tired
oh I will stare the sun down
until my eyes go blind
hey, I won't change direction
and I won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
I'll swallow poison until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out
'til it fills this room
how much difference
how much difference
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
