Signal Towers

Why is it so rare to think
That this is just a symptom of decay
Of the fabric of our lives
What makes our society
We’ve disconnected from friends
From our loved ones and families
More concerned with strangers
And the false connections
Seem misdirected
One day when this all collapses
When signal towers lay in waste
When the screens go blank
You’ll look around
For community
Where is it now?
For tangible connections you gave up long ago
The ones that were right in front of you
The ones you really know
When you reach out
Who will be there
Who can you rely on?
who really cares?
Seems like we’re getting closer to the day when these technologies are just a distant memory
what will we have in the end?
These are just distractions from real communities.
Communities that look out for each other. Dig deep plant roots Create a real network of friends.

Margin of Error

Just a slip away
from being out on the streets
just an injury
these are all things
That can happen at the drop of a dime
these things can happen. happen anytime
what makes you think this perfect life is so secure
what makes you think that you are better
one day you might find that you’ll be out just like them
begging and screaming.
wanting and needing
trying to get ahead
trying to get a roof over their head
You look down on them with cruelty in your heart
As they long for peace and a fresh start
Camps caught on fire
camps raided by police.
they’ve got to go somewhere.
Stop the sweeps.
We choose to live in a society.
Why not take care of everybody.
But instead they try to make us fight and think they we're better than them. Margin of error

Embrace the Hours

I don’t know I just don’t know What’s done in our hearts What’s done in our minds
I don’t know I just do not know What’s done to play their games What’s done to play this part
slip away
Step out, and breathe it in
Today not tomorrow
To this day, and to this hour
Try together, become forever
I don’t know I just don’t know What’s done in your mind What’s done in your hearts
I don’t know I just do not know What’s done to play their games What’s done to play our part
Take back time
Take back what’s yours
Take the time.
Embrace the hours
Slip away
Take back your day!

It moves like vapor.
It moves like light.
It absorbs like darkness.
It flows like water.
The truth you seek it’s there.
Look into a mirror
You won’t see the same things that I see
It’ll just slip through your fingers.
Fall to the floor and you wouldn’t even know.
It’s always there
in the back of your head.
It’s always there
In front of your eyes
The truth that shape-shifts over time.
It moves like light
It absorbs like darkness
It flows like water
The truth you seek it’s there
Swirling around
Like grasping for straws in the wind

Stay
02:59

I didn’t realize I would have to be so close to dying to be so close to living
really learn to appreciate
to really learn to soak it in
I bath in darkness I bathe in light
I’ve seen the beginning I’ve seen the end
I’ve watched it break and I’ve watched it mend
I’ve had it all quickly ripped away
Only to get the chance to live
a chance to stay
I lack the words to explain but I relive it everyday
To The ones I love
I show I care
I’m not waiting for the last time to hear their voice, their words, their wisdom, or just their breath knowing they are alive.
We are alive
Let’s stay that way
Grasping for every chance
A chance to stay
We are alive
Let’s stay that way
Cherish every moment
Cherish everyday
As we are forced apart
Please hold my hand
Grip it as tight as you possibly can
Because we’ve seen time and time again
This life can come and go
Make it last, make it great, leave something to show
I’ll show love
I’ll show compassion
Share my last drop of water
Share my last ration

Learn To Scream
01:15

Lie here broken
I’m confused
I can’t move
While I listen to a man die in the same room
Just a curtain in between
Just some cloth separating
We are all damaged some are dying
We are all waiting. We are trying
I am sweating
I am freezing
I am crying
I am fighting
Trapped in this broken shell
Trapped in this living hell
Can’t fall asleep
Can’t stay awake
I want you here
I want you to away
Please stay by my side
Please keep them away from me
I beg you to save me
from drowning
I’m screaming silently
You can’t hear my words
I find new ways to scream
They refuse to listen
I find new ways to do everything
You can’t hear my words
I find new ways to scream
They refuse to listen
I find new ways to do everything
