We are the Pumice

WE ARE THE PUMICE
We three let out a yell, our voices echo thru hell and from the darkness something answers our call
its voice pierces our souls, drags us down the rabbit hole and I know that we are going back home
back home, back home...
leaning down and looking in, I tear away my skin cuz I know they don't let no human kind in
our spines fill with needles and pins, our bat wings are growing in, the faces of my best friends are glowing eyes and toothy grins, our howling laughter carries in the wind
see that familiar glow, hell's fires burning low, but the warmth in our hearts you know it only grows
consumed in living night, it burns away our fright and I know that we are going back home
back home,back home...
WE ARE THE PUMICE! WE’RE ONE WITH THE EARTH! WE’LL EMERGE FROM THE ABYSS! BUT SOMEDAY WE’LL RETURN!
Demon laughter plays in the breeze, lapped up by the tentacle trees, I love them and I know they love me
surrounded by life and death, our chests are still full of breath, together we wander into the darkest depths
Not lost but in control, three powerful demon souls, with love for the forest you know our hearts are full
these friends I know are mine, across the plains of space and time, yeah I know that we will always find, our way back home, back home
WE ARE THE PUMICE! WE’RE ONE WITH THE EARTH! WE’LL EMERGE FROM THE ABYSS! BUT SOMEDAY WE’LL RETURN!

yeah I realized if I close my eyes, I can track a whisper all the way into the back of my mind
I find my ghosts rest there, dreaming of yesteryear
how they yearn, passions burn, within me, learn to see through the endless vaults of time
their memories, perhaps once mine, embodying limitless divine designs and I'm
listening closely to all of their stories, each living and dying under nature's glory
I can still feel the mud between my toes the primal wind filling my nose
instead of one of the damned, yeah we were one with the land
and the sun was our savior, creator I savor her warmth without failure
with all the plants and all the animals, who give us everything we'd ever need
and we'd never take more 'cause we know in our cores that we are all the same
but in this life I feel shame for my species is to blame for our mother nature's pain
where along our paths were we lead astray? our link to our world allowed to decay
we tell ourselves its okay but were slipping away more every day
see we're headed in the wrong direction with every election, yeah we're an infection
forget natural selection, we've almost lost connection to nature's affection
we must ask ourselves what have we done?!
we're digging our own hole, spinning out of control on the road to extinction
the weight on my mind brings visions of annihilation but I’m not ready for a clean slate yet
when I’ve seen love and beauty infiltrate our police state, I cant let the man narrate my fate
I’ll contemplate the memories that predate me for they resonate with the world i wish to recreate
I see a life with my family among the trees the birds the bees, living free, an active part of reality
you know ill only use these hands to build a stead that will always stand, as a slice of old-time land
our own paradise, no one can offer any price, ill scoff at his dollar this is my land and i know my rights
I’ll fight for my home, every stick every stone, and when im grey and grown here I’ll rest my bones
and the best part is I know I’m never alone, together we'll forge the unknown

Undeniable unavoidable constantly it surrounds us
Why pretend time isn’t fleeting, like this isn’t our only chance
Every being that’s existed before us knows the answers
That last breath’s been exhaled by all of our ancestors
Your story book hero’s never found escape
Their endings left untold wether sudden or slow, you know
A dead end concludes everybody’s road.
Well I often contemplate that moment
The “oh shit, is this really it?”
Will time slow down, will pain receptors quit?
will I have time to stay and say my good byes before my memories flash behind my empty eyes?
Will I be reunited with loved ones who’ve died?
Will I finally be set free from my anxiety?
Or will panic and pain just fade into nothingness?
Consciousness ceasing like I’m passed out drunk again
My only afterlife’s the memories in my friends and enemies
The momentum of my existence composting back into the earth
My carbon finds it way back to the stars where it was birthed!
Yeah DMT released in my brain sends me into the next dimension
Plunged into brilliant colors and patterns I can perceive without vision
Feel a connection with out nerves to everything around me in the universe
Will I feel the purpose of my existence?
Will suddenly this all make some sense?
But for now we’re stuck corporeally in this objective reality
A glorious frustrating at times terrifying place to be
From the wonders of nature
To the greed of corporate swine
We’re drowning in riddles but we all know the punchline...not one of us will ever make it out this world alive!

Poison in the Well
03:52

There’s poison in the well
(The waters dried up)
We can’t afford the sun
(No fucking windows)
A ghost in a broken shell
(Why pretend to live?)
Only one thing left undone
Burn their towers to the ground!
Disassemble your right to complacency
Time to abandon your path of conformity
Lose your patience cuz time it is all you have left
And the clock is ticking so goddamn fast!
There’s poison in the well
(The waters dried up)
We can’t afford the sun
(No fucking windows)
A ghost in a broken shell
(Why pretend to live?)
Only one thing left undone
Burn their towers to the ground!
And their spires are dripping with filthy blood
Down into the freshest graves of deadly departed slaves
In the mire, the sick and encumbered mud
Lie the best that you’ve ever met as the last stones are being set!
There’s poison in the well
(The waters dried up)
We can’t afford the sun
(No fucking windows)
A ghost in a broken shell
(Why pretend to live?)
Only one thing left undone
Burn their towers to the ground!

Mustangs & Wolves

I had a dream that you and I were brothers
Symbiotically we shared life as our goal
I’m a symbol of the land that you loved as our mother
So you left me here to return to the soil
But as I awoke the sky broke into thunder
Hell’s giant buzzing insects sent to kill
They’ll chase us down our land they’ll rape and plunder
With no regard for us or natures will
You know, we all ache the same
We feel love and we feel pain
I remember your metal rain I’ll never see my family again, never again
Aren’t you sympathetic to the beauty that resides here?
I take one last glimpse as we are forced to run
You won’t stop until my kind have all but disappeared
I’m forced to watch hell copter steal all my loved ones
The will to survive burns yet we can’t turn and fight you
We see a future but your species seem so blind
You can break our bodies but our spirits rise anew
With our homeland our story’s intertwined
As long as the river’s still running our hearts are still pumping, the trees are still growing our lungs they still breathe
Well I am still dying, I’m dying to live!
You know, we all yearn to be free
To save our home and family
I remember your metal beast
So I’ll run into the trees
Run for the trees!

Tweaker gunna trespass on our land? Beetle pit!
Pig thinks I'm gunna shake his fucking hand? Beetle pit!
I heard you just threatening my friend! Beetle pit!
Comcast van here, he wants us on the grid. Beetle pit!
Neo-nazi flying confederate flags? Beetle pit!
I heard you call our trans neighbor a hag! Beetle pit!
Pig thinks he can shoot my fucking dogs? Beetle pit!
You'll never find us following your laws! Beetle pit!
(Flesh-eating beetles are kept to clean animal bones. And more.)

Six Sick Sips
03:27
|

Lost in this world
my thoughts start to hurl
theres no answers in sight
I’m losing my mind
I just wanna hide
from these demons inside
I can make a choice
but its hard to avoid
this goddamn little voice
that says enter the void
it says with just one sip
fears loosen their grip
and then two drinks inside
start to quiet your mind
now three swigs from the glass
to laugh and to dance
you’ll find joy and romance
by the time you drink five
leave your worries behind
you won’t have to hide again
memories drain
an escape from yourself
let the spirits take over
call it self help
SIX SICK SIPS
flow past my lips
into my core won’t be feeling no more
it’lll drown out my pain
this festering darkness inside that’s driving me insane
but the promises made
were only just lies
I realize as my light starts to fade
the ghost in the bottle
resides in my mind
there’s nowhere to hide
it fucked up my life
now I wanna die
I try to refrain
but it’s altered my brain
it’s just one little sip
and I feel so equipped to deal
now I start to slip
it’s a comforting grip
the spirit takes control
it’s in me once more
poison flows through my veins
I am not the same
possessed speaking in tongues
spitting fire at loved ones
this dark energy
clouding all I see
spinning on endlessly
at least I am free from me
temporarily
then I’ll forget feeling holes in my organs
sickness and regret
but I’ll drown out those feelings
do it again
SIX SICK SIPS
flow past my lips
into my core won’t be feeling no more
it’lll drown out my pain
this festering darkness inside that’s driving me insane
but the promises made
were only just lies
I realize as my light starts to fade
the ghost in the bottle
resides in my mind
there’s nowhere to hide
I fucked up my life
now I wanna die

The sickness spreads taking control of me
Greedy plague tentacles are all I see
The darkness spreads festering in my head
If it ruptures in my brain then I’ll be dead
The tensions almost more than I can take
I may not still be here when you wake
I’ll try to hang on til the morning
but I feel it calling from the other side
still you know I dream of crackin 40s
feelin the mutha fuckin sun shine
So if I’m not still here when you wake
just know that I’ve had more than I can take
I’m so over all this human strife
deep in the forest the end of my life
yeah I’ll be swingin from some ancient tree
only the crows will ever find me
But we both made it to the morning
we were almost chillin on the other side
but we’re still here and crackin 40s
feelin the mutha fuckin sun shine
I know it’s hard enough just to survive
but I’m so fuckin glad we’re still alive yooooo

Forest Eyes

Oh your forest eyes, emerald skies
Like a cool glade in the summertime
I'll dive into the swimming hole
You sooth my aching soul
You've seen my rage and felt my pain
Built shelter in the hurricane
You've wiped my tears and cleaned my blood
You've built our boat before the flood
Oh your forest eyes, emerald skies
You can pause time and ease my mind
Ill follow you thru the end of days
You always find the way
You're strength in silence, passion in calm
Steady hands to dismantle the bomb
There is a bunker in your chest
Where I can finally rest

Scrap the City
05:01

Scrap the city, tear it down
Let's repurpose this whole town
Fuck this shit and start a new
Let's build a world for me and you
We got a heart we got a brain we find this capitalist world insane rip it apart…
it's been tearing at the seams their tv's silencing the screams for far too long
So you n I hitch down the road we got our bags and dog in tow heading to town….
but little did they know we packed Molotovs ready to throw we got our wrenches and our crowbars, tear it down!
Scrap the city, watch it burn
Once again it's nature's turn
Embers sparkle in your eyes
Like stars returning to the sky
You and I dance in the ash watching the banks go in a flash of blazing fire…
when the coppers came around they pulled their guns to shoot us down but our dog's ripping at their throats till they expire.
As we watch the skyline fall we picture forests growing tall under the moon…
when the stars they can be seen above the rolling farmlands green, but is this hope thats in my heart growing too soon?
Cuz there's still millions of cities like scars on the landscape
From fascists and money there may be no escape
while the last of the old growth forests fall
billions of humans like parasites crawl
to blacken the water, cement the land
poison the air, til none of us stand
Consume, reproduce, we pollute and destroy
Just waiting for nuclear war to deploy
But then I remember earthquakes! hurricanes!
wildfire! flash flood rains! volcanos!
blizzard snows! Once again the trees will grow!
Scrap the city, tear it down
To our earth we all are bound
We can live in harmony
The sky the trees, just you and me

Hail Nothing
03:44
|
|||
|
The only place I feel at home's among the desolate hills
where I know no shod feet left trails, through the grass the sunlight spills
morning light fills the sky away with the night feeling my apathy die
it's a natural high, mother nat(ure) always revives my will to survive…
hail the barren mountain sides perpetually eroding in this rain
feel it wash away our pain, abstain from my disdain for this world
as reality's unfurled, my race doesn't rule over this place
yeah I savor this little taste, land unsoiled by human waste...
hail the immortal sea we're humbled in it's vast immensity
monstrous intensity, the waves incomprehensibly deep
endlessly embracing the cold beach spread out empty, engulfing me
lungs full of the mighty westerly, it's vigor and vitality, fills my arteries, temporarily detach me from humanity…
Hail Nothing (Desolation)!
hail the old growth forest, expansive enormous, immerse us in creation
harmonious sensation an interrelation with ancient arboreal souls
on their kind we took our toll but here their roots stay steadfast in the soil
life giving lungs of the earth, death here decays into rebirth...
hail the endless desert ancient rocks slowly give way to flowing sand
only the tenacious stand treacherous tribulations of this land
circling on high the buzzard's sharp eye sees my energy, my carbon
encompassed in oblivion reality begins to sink in…
hail the winter sky, the darkness of night washes over the trees, allows us to see
a place veiled in mystery, where we came from and where we'll return
theres an earnestly and a purity in a land enveloped by snow
hearing the cold silence grow louder than our cluttered chaotic minds
feel it severing our ties from the human world so shrouded in lies…
Hail Nothing (Desolation)!

Where wet grass
Meets black tar
Your death machine
Leaves deep scars
This forest
Was my home
Now my blood
Paints your chrome
My body disfigured
My soul brings the plague
One dark storm starts the fall
One thousand burning flags
The dark dawn
We grow strong
Your flames quenched
Your sick stench
Your sirens
Your violence
Your silence
Our solace
At long last she may rest
You’ve no wars left to wage
One species is sacrificed
To turn the wretched page
The ancient stone where I roam
Through the sands of time
Will not hear your groveling
But remembers your crimes
The black spring
No bells ring
Your bodies
Feed rich earth
Your silence
Our solace
Extinction
Brings peace
Silence
Solace
Extinction
Release
