We will go into the forest
in the quiet of the pines
you might even take a breath and learn what real air tastes like
this is where I'll ask you to put your hand in your pocket
grab your goddamn telephone break it over your fucking skull
the skull that's gotten so damn thick scarred from all the bullshit you feed it
well I don't want to see that light flicker on again and I don't wanna see a sea of useless information wrapped around your neck and I say
Open the shades and let the light in, pick up a goddamn shovel
bury your social status, learn how to live
well I don't want to see that light flicker on again and I don't wanna see a sea of useless information wrapped around your neck and I say
drown your boss in the ocean, pick up a fucking hammer
build yourself something real to live for, learn how to survive

Coyotes and Crows

I hope that when I die I get a shallow grave
get dug up and eaten by coyotes and crows
cuz I ain't done nothin' a use in this life
let my meat feed some wild dogs while it's still warm
crush my bones to bits and start a forest
don't put me in a box don't burn me in a fire
just leave me where I lay, in the tall dark pines
you think you pay respect when you lock the dead away
to fester in their cage forevermore
but if it were up to me, I'd set their bodies free
far away from your false ideology they can run

gold wolf take me to the forest
I know only you can find the path
you can smell the old growth trees before us
the berry bushes with the fullest batch
show me where the river flows the fullest
where all the tasty fishes can be found
the beauty that surrounds us is just flawless
down this trail forever we are bound
gold wolf take me to the mountains
I know only you can climb so sure
you can see across the vast expanses
so crisp and clean the air here is so pure
show me where the trees break into meadow
these flower's tubers can be found all year
the icy creeks from mighty glaciers downward ever flow
and where the rabbit crosses its path with the deer
gold wolf take me to the desert
I know only you can find a drink
let's forget the world, we're on an outskirt
with endless stars and lots of space to think
show me how to live life to the fullest
fall in love with you and me and everything
I'll never leave your side, you know I couldn't
we're livin' free we don't need anything
yeah we're livin' free we don't need anything

Away Away

away away, never see you again
away away, here alone I remain
hear your voice in the darkness
thought I'd never hear again
see your face though I strain
replace my pain with your soft caress
so warm feel you breathing
your eyes deep with meaning
I feel you so perfectly here with me
there's no way that I'm really asleep
away away, never see you again
away away, here alone I remain
These dreams seem so real
the only thing that I hope to feel
this time we get to spend
it's gold sand slipping right through my hands
now I can feel everything ending
there's no time to say good bye
I awake to blue sky yeah it's morning
sorta feels like its me who just died

here we are
in the grass under the stars
laying with you next to me
thinking its so strange to be
anything at all
preserve this moment, try to seize
the beauty of the autumn breeze
flowing ever endlessly
over our tongues down to our lungs
oxygen, the forest's breath
flows through our veins, holds off our death
how do i still breathe in and out
every night when i'm passed out?
we cry and laugh and sing and shout
through it all with out a doubt
we breathe, our blood refreshed again
pulses warm under our skin
reaching the extremities
my blood spent it now recedes
back to my heart where it began
beating for my whole lifespan
this mussel works tirelessly
through all of my uncertainty
now it beats in time with yours
all my confusion has been cured
i'm where i'm ment to be
i can feel your hand in mine
so soft and warm and so divine
sensation shot through endless nerves
fly up my spine to be observed
my brain releasing chemicals
felt in my chest and genitals
this thing that they call butterflies
must be the most intense of highs
i know your nerves feel my hand too
among the breeze and summer dew
i hope your brain's the same as mine
please fall for me give me a sign
or is it that you're here with me
across the world over the sea
something must have brought us here
the universe's puppeteer?
two souls across the plain of time
two verses that turn out to rhyme
have found each other once again
now that your here my life begins
i finally feel at home
here we are
in the grass under the stars
laying with you next to me
thinking its so strange to be
anything at all
as we lay here in the grass
i swear i can't feel the time pass
but humming on my body does
i wonder if this is because
cells go about their daily lives
each works and eats they live and die
cells make up every part of us
they fight disease dispel the pus
they reproduce my dna
a billion times most everyday
just one mistake a cancer grows
how they avoid disaster i don't know
consuming other living cells
is how we linger in this hell
we must destroy to recreate
its so bizarre to contemplate
miles of smelly slimy guts
breaking down the lives we smut
some coiled pulsing depravity
inside our body cavities
it's how we stay alive
as we lay here side by side
absorbing all that is the night
it seems as though the forest sings
vibrations caused by insect wings
reach the drums inside my ears
the rhythm blocking out my fears
'cause me and you and everything
are made of small vibrating strings
they make a universal hum
where we're headed, where we're from
the tiny lights from the night sky
wavelengths bouncing in our eyes
it may have took a trillion years
for each of them to meet us here
the image flipped in to our brains
through lightning bolts a synapse is made
the reason why i'm not afraid
from dead stardust we all were made
just a speck in this immensity
and now i see with clarity
just what i'm here to do
falling in love with you
here we are
in the grass under the stars
laying with you next to me
thinking its so strange to be
anything at all

No sunshine just gas clouds, why are we still here?
No sirens, just silence once the ocean takes us in.

we've all become cattle see they're leading us to the slaughter house
hear the shots of their bolt gun, i think id rather tie my own noose
why are we letting them keep us so complacent as they profit
see we're eating up their poisons while our cancer pads their pockets
they profit from spreading religion while funding both sides of war
our power in numbers has weakened, they keep the cattle herds torn
they've created the power of money and control the worlds banks
if you try to run away their barbed wire lacerates your flanks
the whole planets set for slaughter they're blinded of their doom by greed
cattle please look up from grazing they've planted death with every seed
look the field's turning red before us, our future it bleeds and bleeds
now we have to work to change our path before we're all dead, i plead
chorus- yeah its awesome to breathe i sorta like being in this body
but i don't feel like i can go on in this fucked society
so im taking the plunge and severing the veins, watch the blood drain
yeah not from my arms but from the chords tying me to the machine
my friends listen to me i'm promising autonomy's not dead
i can almost taste it, got this flawless escape plan in my head
we're taught success means slaving for the rich until our lives are spent
we'll go to school take out loans get a shitty job to pay our rent
i ask do you find happiness by striving for these made up goals
or does all this shit feel meaningless like it's tearing up your soul
their evil runs deep, find their tentacles in every thing we do
don't listen to all their lies and ads they're trying to brain wash you
sever these limbs as you find them one by one until none remain
don't fall for their promises, from their petty temptations refrain
if your actions support the one percent it's time they got the boot
the only way out is to follow everything back to its roots
so many suck our lives away to nurture these huge corporate weeds
i wont let them smother my garden, i've planted hope with my seeds
chorus - yeah its awesome to breathe i sorta like being in this body
but i don't feel like i can go on in this fucked society
so im taking the plunge and severing the veins, watch the blood drain
yeah not from my arms but from the chords tying me to the machine
my friends listen to me i'm promising autonomy's not dead
i can almost taste it, got this flawless escape plan in my head
as long as we're still breathing it is not to late to change our way
believe me there are ways we can stick it to the man every day
use their money against them buy local and support small business
use all natural products, homeopathic medicines bring bliss
serve up some local farm stand veggies and some cruelty free meat
yeah without their steady income big corporations can be beat
steer away from fossil fuels other technologies do exist
like solar and wind power hydroelectric you get the gist
so watch your rent go down the drain or put it into your own land
freed from your dependency, the power was always in your hands
i hope it happens in our lifetime watch their castles turn to sand
in the mean time i'll be farming and spreading the word through this band
chorus- yeah its awesome to breathe i sorta like being in this body
but i don't feel like i can go on in this fucked society
so im taking the plunge and severing the veins, watch the blood drain
yeah not from my arms but from the chords tying me to the machine
my friend, if you feel like you are going down the wrong path, turn back
distractions help us cope but the time has come to pick up the slack
if you feel disdain for the repercussions of your actions, change
remember you hate them, not yourself, these are not one in the same
their greed fuels this evil existence, it is not you that should hang
if we stop supporting these wealthy pigs, they will loose their own game
my friends listen to me i'm promising autonomy's not dead
i can almost taste it, got this flawless escape plan in my head
