Do You Feel Me?

Try as I might, I can't open my eyes
So I drift to and fro, ebb and flow in the night
Transparent, the walls keep us in but I know
Can't see them, but I feel the tightening hold
Thrown into the deep end but we don't have control
So if we don't want to drown we gotta swim for a shoal
Take my hand, we'll make for land
(Do you feel me?)
And I know it's far to the edge of the maar
(Do you feel me?)
Please don't withhold, even if you're cold
(Do you feel me?)
'Cause solidarity fosters clarity
(Do you feel me?)
Salt in the air, sunlight on our skin
Major change is about to begin
Everything we know will soon be gone
So let's hold each other tight to greet the dawn
Take my hand, we'll make for land
(Do you feel me?)
And I know it's far to the edge of the maar
(Do you feel me?)
Please don't withhold, even if you're cold
(Do you feel me?)
'Cause solidarity fosters clarity
(Do you feel me?)
And if the oligarchy gets its way
(Do you feel me?)
I want to be with you when the oceans boil away
(Do you feel me?)
But we're screaming
(Let us out now)
But we're drowning
(Let us out now)
Unrelenting
(Burn the house down)
We're free as long as there's hope

The Long Winter
03:28
|

Six months deep in hiding
Six months more to go
Trapped inside, victims of the mind
That can't say, "I don't know"
Stretch to infinity
While clutter piles high
Moments pass where the ice moves fast
Till the walls then reach the sky
(The long winter is almost here)
Maybe I'll see you on the other side
But I'm terrified on this mountainside
Of the avalanches falling in a genocide
Are we fortified or is fear justified?
I think I was ambitious
When I guessed a year
Losing time, it's hard to find
A mood beyond austere
Air is hot and dry
But ice will not relent
The cornerstone of the new cool zone
The winter's discontent
(The long winter is almost here)
(The long winter is here)
Maybe I'll see you on the other side
But I'm terrified on this mountainside
Of the avalanches falling in a genocide
Are we fortified or is fear justified?
"Everything is over," they have testified
But to clarify, they are unverified
Spread misinformation and their outright lies
Nationwide, they're talking fireside
Knowing that their voices have been amplified
I am horrified to watch their homicide
In order to enact their plan to purify
They keep us stratified and then we're crucified
The only way to stop it is to unify
Both you and I, both far and wide

Shame
03:51

You, atop your pile of gold
Will look down your nose
And scream "bad faith" for those
Who condemn the rape you condone
And we will feel no shame
For you, it's all just a game
But we will not compromise
Ourselves
You tell yourself we've nothing to say
The shield you've built so that you can play
And not see your rights be whittled away
But we will not heel
And we will feel no shame
For you, it's all just a game
But we will not compromise
Ourselves
You speak names you don't know
You think money gives you control
But we will feel no shame
For you, it's all just a game
But we will not compromise
Ourselves

The Paradox Boundary

Pour forth your love for one
You say can change
Where is the love for those that
He would have in chains
Eyes close in fantasy
Visions of their blood
Colonizer simply wants
To bury them in mud
Why should they pay for his education?
With countless children's lives, no reservation
Forced into holding cells with no compassion
Condone the cruelty through your inaction
Granted a thousand chances
While they've had none
Looks forward to the day that
He can kill them one by one
Why should they pay for his education?
With countless children's lives, no reservation
Forced into holding cells with no compassion
Condone the cruelty through your inaction

Many Voices

They set 'em loose on the streets
With a gun in their hand
The jack boots on their feet
Don't act like this wasn't planned
Well, now the fuse burns too deep
About to lose their command
And the abuse that they reap
Comes from the fires they fanned
And all the cowards that towered above
While flexing their power to devour our love
While sentiment soured enough
Will finally be countered and overpowered and scoured
Engulfed by folks who show up, don't give up
Can you feel them wake up?
Direct
(Direct your action)
React
(Don't fall for distraction)
They lie
(In their retraction)
Your rights
(Must be extracted)
