Humanhood
05:45

We’ve been taught to spend our whole lives working
For something we’ll lose when we die
But what if there is something more than suffering
To give fulfillment to our lives
It makes a lot of sense we’re terrified
This human, this humanhood
You’ve got it all wrong
If you’re just waiting around to die
I know it cause I’ve tired
This human, this humanhood
Is sicker than all hell
And we really really need to get well
It starts with healing yourself
We’ve been shown that nothing’s more forgiving
Than the wealth of an evil man
But what if there is something more than living
For the years we’ve spent eating from their hands
Well it makes a lot of sense we’re so sad
This human, this humanhood
You’ve got it all wrong
If you’re just waiting around to die
I know it cause I’ve tired
This human, this humanhood
Is sicker than all hell
And we really really need to get well
It starts with healing yourself

Hello, Old Friend
I know we haven't spoken since
I found a different way
To keep my head on straight
Well I hope that you will understand
I'm learning how to swim old friend
Living at the bottom isn't living at all you see
Well You kept my head above the water when I was down
But the water's a reminder that without you I'd drown
And there's no way out
And I'm wandering around this life without a clue
Of who I am or who I was before I had you
And It's time I find out
I felt your love like honey
Creeping on my body, slow and sweet but you
Took over my frail skin
Pulling at the strings again
Who's controlling who?
I'm taking back
I'm taking back
Everything
You took from me
I'm taking back
I'm taking back
Everything
You took from me
Goodbye, Old Friend
I'm never looking back again
The hell you made my life then
Is not worth living
But thanks to you for now I know
The darkness and how far I'll go
Living at the bottom isn't living at all for me
Well You kept my head above the water when I was down
But the water's a reminder that without you I'd drown
And there is no way out
And I'm wandering around this life without a clue
Of who I am or who I was before I had you
And It's time I find out
I felt your love like poison
Creeping on body slow and sweet
But you took over my frail skin
Pulling at the strings again
Who's controlling who?
I'm taking back
I'm taking back
Everything you took from me
I'm taking back
I'm taking back
Everything you took from me
You took from me
I'm taking back
I'm taking back
Everything you took from me
You took from me

Our Blood
03:34
|

|
Has it become apparent to you
you’ve become the parent that ruined you?
While you sweep it under the rug
You’re burning again
And your hurting again
My dear that is our blood
My dear that is our blood
Our blood runs red with sadness
Our blood runs red with madness
With madness
With madness
You’ve been banging on heaven’s door
Cause it seems like, well it seems that there’s no hope left here anymore
White knuckles on the road
You’re just getting by
One day at a time
Not knowing where to go
You don’t know where to go
Our blood runs red with sadness
Our blood run red with madness
With madness
With madness

I, I love you brother
Just as you are
I, I love you sister
Just as you are
You are not evil
And you are not unworthy
We are just people
Who need a little mercy
Where has the white dove gone?
Where has the white dove gone?
When we fear the unknown
Our hearts will never grow
Let’s bring the white dove home
Let’s bring the white dove home
Lay, Lay down your hatred
It won’t help you now
Too many of us are dying
By our own hands now
We are in hellfire
We are in denial
We are just people
Who need a big revival
Where has the white dove gone?
Where has the white dove gone?
When we fear the unknown our hearts will never grow
Let’s bring the white dove home
Let’s bring the white dove home
We, we need some peace
Please practice some peace
We, we need to eradicate this greed
Please —
Where has the white dove gone?
Where has the white dove gone?
When we fear the unknown
Our hearts will never grow
Let’s bring the white dove home

Currents
05:02

I, I’ve gone under again
Can someone pull me in
It’s not that easy when
you never learned to swim
And you’re lungs are filled with water
And you’re a troubled person’s daughter
Who’s has lost control
If the water was liquor I’d have drowned
long ago
I, well I want to tell you I’m fine
But then I would belying
And I am practicing truth
Even though it’s hard for me to do
And I’m learning how to be ok
In the current, i’m in today
And I know my best will change
From lion to sloth and day from uncertain day
These currents
I, I don’t mean to make you sad
But this is the suffering I’ve had
And it’s brought me here today
To look you in the eyes and say
I love you more than I ever would
If it hadn’t turned out this way
And the messes that I’ve made
Are the currents that have saved me
And taken me to shore

Youth
04:02

I, I remember when we’d meet
Out back when I was 16
we’d suck down a couple 40ozs
And we’d hitch up the valley
And go to another fucking party
With misfits who were just as lost as me
And I wish I’d know
That I wasn’t so goddamn alone
With this feeling inside of my bones
That I’m just not worth it
And I wish they’d known
That they weren’t so goddamn alone
With this feeling inside of their bones
That they’re just not worth it
I wish I’d known
I wish I’d know, that we’re worth
We are the youth, we are the vulnerable ones
And i’d promise this gets better
We are the sons, we are the daughters of the ones
Who just needled bitter weather
I, I remember when i’d crave someone to just take care of me I’d do anything
And when, when I had you I’d disappear
And I wish i’d known That I wasn’t so goddamn alone
With this feeling inside of my bones That I’m just not worth it
And I wish we’d known that we’re worth it
We are the youth, we are the vulnerable ones
And i’d promise this gets better
We are the sons, we are the daughters of the ones
Who just needled bitter weather

Lady Pain
05:14
|
|||
|
Always felt so goddamn different
And I couldn't find my place
So I tried to sympathize with
Dead dull gray eyes
But I needed something different
Then we hear the sirens call
Liquored eyes and
Smokey hair, she said
I see you’re nothing at all
But do not fret
I can make you feel whole, honey
Do not fret I can make you feel whole
So we call her name
Lady Pain
Lady Pain you’re my greatest escape, honey
You’re not even a lady
Lady Pain you’re one hell of a homewrecker
You don’t have to play her game
But I need to feel something
But I need to feel something
So we call her name
Lady Pain
So, you feel so goddamn different
And it’s hard to find your place
Well I try to sympathize
Were just trying to survive
In a world so disconnected
So we call the sirens name
Bring me comfort and bring me shame
Lady Pain your my greatest escape, honey
You’re not even a lady
Lady Pain you’re one hell of a homewrecker
You don’t have to play her game
I need to feel this, I do. I need to fear this, I do. I need to feel this, don’t you?

Silenced

There’s a war around us
Can’t you feel it in your head?
As you slip off your white dress
And you crawl into his bed?
Haven’t we seen enough
Haven’t we been through enough
Haven’t we been abused enough
Haven’t we been oppressed enough
This poison, this poison lives in me
This poison lives in you
This poison lives in silence
Oppression, oppression lives in me
Oppression lives in you
Oppression lives in silence
There’s a war around us
Can’t you feel it in your bones?
It’s a parasite that’s rampant
And it’s living in your homes
Haven’t we seen enough
Haven’t we been through enough
Haven’t we been abused enough
Haven’t we been oppressed enough
This poison, this poison lives in me
This poison lives in you
This poison lives in silence
Oppression, oppression lives in me
Oppression lives in you
Oppression lives in silence
Silence, this silence lives in me
Silence lives in you
Silence lives in too many of us
This silence this silence lives in me
This silence lives in you
Silence lives in too many of us
This silence is
This silence is too loud

What Goes Up
06:07
|
|||
|
We made a mess of this
I don’t know how we’re gonna get out of this
We’re in a war with ourselves
We’ve been compelled to overwhelm this idea
That it’s every fucking man for himself
Well “man” up and help well..
We never found out how to think of eachother
Widely enough to make these tough changes together
In order to survive this terrible weather
And We’re going down fast well we’re going down together
What goes up must come down
And you wonder why our children are dying
They are drowning in addiction
Just to have one day free from this affliction
They are pleading for forgiveness
With no voice and no witness
To justify and amplify this truth that’s within us
An existence so oppressed
and the masses so obsessed
With material regrets
An ethereal threat that feeds monster that’s within us
That we all seem possess
What goes up must come down
It takes us a long time to come up out of the darkness of our feelings of unworthiness, of unlovableness, of allowing that liquidity to hapapen of feeling safe to be in the presence of love. When I first experienced my Guru loving me my mind kept flickering with the thoughts of “if he only knew…” When you can accept that you are lovable then the fear starts to dissolve. It’s allowing the beauty of your soul which is behind your personality, it's behind all that stuff. Just another radiant bit of light. Just observe the kind of sadness, the feeling of loneliness, the feeling of separateness, the feeling of pain. Just watch it, and allow it. The only thing you’re stuck in is not even history, it's just mind. It’s a model you have of who you think you are and who you think everybody else is. That’s all it is. That’s exactly what’s causing your suffering at this moment is your own thought forms and you’re clinging to them and saying “This is real.” And that’s finlay why you’re driven to work on your mind, to quiet your mind. Because you see that you’re personality is just a series of thought’s that you keep investing. Quiet your
mind. - Ram Dass
