Track Name: Mavericks Not Politics
Dark brackish mystery ten fathoms crashing over me she is cruel, she is the sea the slayer of my misery. Paddle for miles this freedom I seek a fifty foot face at a fateful speed Great Whites from the North are coming to feed as I'm thrown in the pit of the briny deep. The Kraken stalking after me It's twisting around my leash my aqua lung full the air cannot reach it's rightful place that's where I want to be I'm tossing like laundry the coral cuts deep oh, when will this end so I can repeat
Track Name: Like Swine Off A Cliff
Old men sleeping in a graveyard strumming bows of violence sweet zombies cannot mourn their loving next of kin the pigs of innocence wallow in their pen of sin. Cast off these toxic idiots like demons driving swine off a cliff time to be your own machine a human being. Truth is the world I know is just like them the mental heard and the men in possession doesn't really matter we're all closer to the edge so who will push us to a justifiably bitter end? We've got to find the answers we've got to look inside listen to gut reaction the truth it will not hide law of attraction question the laws of men it's all relevant be intelligent get Old Testament and say goodbye to them.
Track Name: lockjaw
Get up now get up now get out of your head feeling restless almost desperate this is the time to use your gift flip your fears drop the pressure new traditions sunken treasures I got a feeling that I'm not alone to say I've lost the taste of the scraps we're thrown everyday. If you want to take us down you've got one hell of a fight ahead of you my friend If you want to take us down we're like lockjaw steadfast till the end. Sunken treasures of the West Coast the underground is what they want the most bury majors take their powers this is the time this is the hour dead strings on digital I want to set ablaze your soul got a feeling that I'm not alone to say I've lost the taste of the scraps we're thrown everyday.
Track Name: Lifetime Making The Best Of Things
Shot down time and time again feels like no one wants to be your friend this is no way to live spent your whole life making the best of things afraid of what tomorrow brings killing time keeps you a slave. You forced yourself to settle for second best it's all you felt you deserved the struggles of the day just let them go you were made for so much more. Lay your burdens down learn to love yourself hold your head up high be a light for someone else. That inner voice is screaming to all the true believers your conscience is your guide that feeling burning inside the one you can't deny there's nothing you can't do.
Track Name: To Fly With Angels
We have to face this we can't erase it because in the end it's all meaningless this country this war these political whores will be forgotten as we're all released to the Heavens no stresses, no pains, no messes, no strains just love and truth that's what makes me and you the creation creates just take a look at your hands they're infinite without beginning or end. To fly with angels to never hurt again as this shell turns to ashes our ghosts will descend the world will keep turning long after we're gone and whatever is has already been done your wisdom, your treasures, this toil, these pleasures alpha and omega is beyond measure and what will be has been before as you sleep the thief's at your door.The blessed creeps so silently sneaks one generation passes and another takes a seat nothing really matters in the end of ends but what matters right now is now my friends Father Time is killing us all and Mother Nature is taking a fall just beware of this classic passion It's chaos and spirit without a position.
Track Name: Begin Again
So many fighters gave their lives to get us where we're at today just to be forgotten and all but thrown away free spirits, free minds, free speech that's what they're dying for we need to remember to empower our kids we're all a product of our pasts so let go of regrets. Our children are standing on our shoulders but our apathy has got us hunched over we do not feel their feet marching to the beat of our ancestors drums stand tall be a fire stand proud raise the child higher the mistakes of the past are lessons learned that we pass on to something bigger than us. What if there were no great minds that spoke up and said we're running out of time and all we heard was that rhetoric spoon fed by hypocrites things would be so much worse our indifference to the struggle is our curse our parents fought and died for us to be here to live our lives.
Track Name: Heed My Own Advice
Creep in the shadows wearing your Sunday best sleep in the shallows face down drowning slowly hide in the crowd a sub-cult chameleon don't know who you are got social bulimia. You've got it so bad it's as bad as you make it you say life's unfair and take every chance to fake it why are you so afraid to be yourself better to live for you and not everybody else. Stuck in the middle feeling so luke warm you built up your walls and still feel uncomfortable each day is brand new so try to live your life and maybe someday I'll heed my own advice. Be what they want or be who you say.
Track Name: We Swing Our Hammers Harder
The sun sets over blackened fences betrayed by Judas kisses thrice cries a brothers denial enemies await your trial I know why you did this sometimes someone needs to stir it up a bit. Swing down swing the hammer down drive the nails drive them deep through the hands and through the feet swing down we swing our hammers harder still. Alone walked with a crucifix widows weeping you call upon the wind went anywhere you wanted to fed the hungry healed them through gave the people a newer sound you were truly underground. I'm sorry the culture crumbled sorry your teachings got skewed sorry for what churches do the ignorance in spite of you said "when you pray do as I do" that does not mean to worship you.
Track Name: Save Your Hate Mail
Save your hate mail for something bigger than this why should you care how I exist and tell me what's so punk rock about booze and cigarettes that poison you consume is corporate you make your own decisions with a shaky hand incision. Living in this world and not being of it an alien in my home land and I blend in the older I get wanna be more of an activist going down for what I believe in finding the Christ within each day I'm born again. In a band driving a van roaming the land spreading the truth like the 12 disciple's did you may disagree with my theology but there's one God on that we can agree. I make my own decisions with the free will that I am given.
Track Name: Burning Green For Greed
A dark summer night the clear-cut price is to high a match and some gasoline burning green for greed. Did you know that our forest service sleeps with the logging industry they send in arsonists then sell the burned woods cheap stop the natural fires the fuel on the floor piles up then start their own fires to set ablaze the trees look what you've done to our gift God designed the Earth to replenish itself it was all planned out without our help. If this isn't greed then I don't know what is die to ourselves today change the way we live. Napalming nature chop down the large growth kill off the habitats with the chemicals gleaning logs that weren't commercial in a National Park salvage, ravage, rape, tear it all apart fire does not destroy a forest, but logging does we have enough suburbs there's a lot of old abandons we don't need junk mail, greeting cards, it's all so wasteful. The kids are building roadblocks cement their arms to the ground It's a peaceful protest the cops beat them down the cops will all beat us down now.
