We Kick It 03:34
lyrics
buy track
All We Ever Do Is Talk Shit... we talk shit on the matter of quitting abusing the misfit consciousness biding time only as time/space the negative perception of a drawn line mapping out a guide to redefining our tired lives a rich way of saying we are bored outside the mind whatever lays behind will remain behind for the past recedes the past back to the beginning of a sly rhyme & in our passed up lives we've reinvented the crime: expression no longer lives to live, it only lives to die masochistic, martyrdom & mass-occurring misfits we kick it, like the bucket & hang out like the heavens just stars, exploding stars above the unsuspecting planets

The Royal We 03:24
lyrics

specific interests, limits within our own perceived limits of breath, the bird flies and the fly skydives without ever once dreaming about death, this iS critical, whether ya politics string along strong or it's kept apolitical, minimal, hope left in the trashheap human rat race, i sleep with my mind on, try to keep the nostalgic rewind gone, instead of automation, dependent like a blind dog, i almost got the job but i wrote down the time wrong, pathway to middle earth, the rebirth of the swan song, locked in a labyrinth that never really got started, whiteflight myth of progress that never departed or took off, instead they cooked the books on the questions to the answers that we still refuse to ask, who what where when how do indeed many things come to pass and why? die slow deaths soaked in poisonous syrups why? not make union our bodies of weaponry with our minds of spirit why? do we humans always have so many questions to ask here's my why: so caught up in our questions we forgot the task so caught up in our questions we forgot the task

i. a lonely ole rooster sits the coup remember those days of us shootin the hoops? now we're shootin the moon don't know when but it's soon so we sit and kill winter with soup and a spoon ii. an outlaw rooster, no cage in his way stays on the run, where's a place to stay? got some thanks to say and some banks to pay but how long will it take before they take him away? iii. a flax fed rooster: tall, happy and fresh preserving the nerve to break enough thresh - holds well-aged, comfortable in flesh low stress, mo chess, no press what's next iS yo guess which rooster will he become next? hopefully the one who gets to have sex
