There’s a place I know Ontario Where the settlers have the best of views Where the lakes are crowded and polluted too oh how I love to canoe on through Land back yea everyone loves their land back There’s a place I kinda know Kanonstaton Where the caledonians cry and beg for more Where the kontirio graze n sun does shine Haudenosaunee fortifying lines Land back There’s a place I don’t know in Africa Where the commercials full of disaster I don’t know if it’s better or not Ever since the white man landed his yacht Land back everyone loves their land back

I walked downtown to see if you were there Went to the diner and sat in your chair Then I has some toast, coffee and cream and thought about all of the times you were mean I saw the poison in your eyes I found the poison that you disguised Calling in dead for the birthday party What did I practice smiling for I’m a lonely ghost with a head that’s haunted Maybe I’m loved. Can’t be sure Well hey, what a charming lie You might be good but you’re not so kind Behind paper walls. A dream of fools I won’t waste my sleep anymore

Miel - Rise 03:20
Always been a dreamer I can't shake the feeling we were made for more I see ya struggling in your daily life and I feel the same Rise above we'll go there together we'll go there together I've seen the huricane that blows around you I've felt it's winds before when it seems your destiny can't be changed theres a lesson to be learned a pain that came with us at birth and I'll hold your hand Rise above we'll go there together we'll go there together we're going together we're going together

Home, in my apartment by the shoals of memory, take me away Soaked sheets and mundane dreams Let my room be a ship to the stars The cosmos is vast But I am obsessed with one thought What can I do with this moment What can I do with... Right now Now is the time Right now The past lurks up behind Right now Minutes pass in days Right now I'm in a dormant phase Don't know, what's left, what's right and how can I survive? Right now... Alone, with my thoughts I am at home But I still get lonely before too long That old duality of man Rears its ugly head again Right now Now is the time Right now The past lurks up behind Right now Minutes pass in days Right now I'm in a dormant phase Right now All I thought is thrown in doubt Right now I know there's no way out Right now The moments slipping by Right now Being swallowed by a lie Back to sleep, back to dreams, back pretending I know what I mean

Winter snow, frost-bitten note / looking down on the for sure unknown / animals / The gate / poaches / the sun sinking low / bleed out aura the places we thought we could go / now we'll never know / Lights off the balcony / outline the jumpers / bleeding death on evening's pillar / spit soaked alliance / I grovel with death / to step back a sec / While it's unwise to accept the lies of our comfort / truths denied help us survive a little longer / You can't jinx the weather / that's too much power / but I work it in / with memory and muscle / all of the times / that I pinched at a pack / to peel off the plastic / Those aren't ruby / necklaces / that's mercury / strung down umbilical cords / as mothers / scatter out from the harvest / want not / waste not / wait for more / Power in waves / the way to imbibe me / with thunder / but I speak through with a whisper / not through the drunken / sore-legged mess from the parties / of men / While it's unwise to accept the lies of our comfort / truths denied help us survive a little longer / I wanna make work that may one day destroy me / smash every look / and reveal my true personhood / I wanna make shame of my violences / and stand up straight / kiss / get ready for the alliance

A hazy night again insomniatic stare replaces day with night to lack with apathy I am so wired It comes in throes of chaos a steadfast tendency a growing love for darkness a bitter, hopeless seed I am so tired

my heart is getting heavy and i welcome the pain deserving all the punishment i relish distain reiterate ways i slept on things i could change a self inflicted loner all i do is complain the world we built does nothing, we encourage blame ideals that we borrow just encourage shame everyones a martyr everyone is a stain everyones a victim everyone is a slave i’ll keep saying that its simple keep pretending not to drown i’ll keep swallowing the fear and keep my anguish underground so i walk and i talk i move the way that i’m suppose to i laugh and i joke i react the way that i was taught to i smile i choke i smile i choke but nothing fucking moves me and I'm aching for feeling the end results in nothing all i do is count the reasons searching for a lie that we can keep on believing i know that i’m the problem but i can’t stop obsessing the sorrow, the burden, the longing all concealing doubt in all boundaries that we put our belief in The resentment, the anger, no purpose or fulfillment I break my bones for substance and I don’t feel any different

Made in his image and cannot escape, dead on the inside slowly waste away, once you are gone that will be the day, I can't move on cuz you're still in the way Cycle of submission and doomed to repeat, when chaos feels normal balance feels bleak Sins of Father (X5) Make myself small so you can feel big, discreet existence insufferable pig, down in the hole that's my own grave I dig Repeat the cycle, don't divert from the pack, on a tight leash and given no slack, hard to get close when you're on the attack Sins of father

She's here again, that devil in white, he's ripping out my organs One by one, all through the night I watch my body float down below I cannot feel it anymore, divorced, rejected, sent away By my strong mind, my faltering will I'm burning through a precious gift, to rid the air of troubles past My body floating further now It writhes in pain but I can't comfort Cannot make my own decisions, cannot close up any doors Can't turn the light of on the porch, can't help eavesdropping through the floors I'm frozen in this moment

the time has never been so clear. to nurture our collective fears. forge weapons with our hearts and tears. and shut the motherfucker down.

I hear the messages on the radio The traffic spinning round and round in my brain I hear the messages on the radio It's time for us to break free from these chains There's only one thing that I can see That's persistent and unending inequality I witness the foot soldiers of the powerful elite Destroying lives, taking everything until their missions complete And you wake and look out at the world you thought you knew You realize all you've been taught isn't true And you start to fight to raise those around you up You realize someone up top has had enough They dont care if you live or die.

When we awoke we were all underneath the earth, under soil, and dirt. To quote Oscar Wilde we were all in the gutter but some of us were staring at the stars... One day we'll learn to love each other...

the thin walls that protect me from what's to big feel thinner lately the sleep is bad the dreams are bad so I wanna hear your heart beat cause I do believe that you care about me it feels as inescapable as the way I fear this heat oh surround me with your love strong as a swarm of bees
