about

first attempt at recording and mixing our own song

lyrics

Presents from a pickpocket
Would you wear my eyes?
The best disguise is naked
Naked on the rise
The best disguise is naked
Safe now to assume
We can understand the weapon
If we understand the wound

Baby, Baby, do you feel free?
Growing up in the Anthropocene
Learn what you learn, feel what you feel
If you steal what you love, love what you steal

Mirrors on the prairie shatter
A sound that breaks all thought
Pain is unavoidable, suffering is not
After you my lovely language
Into swamps ov rhyme
Beyond the limits ov control
Across the circumstance ov time

A Mercurial bitch is rising
Twisted tongues know how to lash
You represent the media
I’ll represent the trash
We’ll walk along the wasteland
Hear the sounds, see the sights
Watch a white horse being eaten
By a slave on Sunday night
The millennial mind is yearning
For secrets kept outside
I was swimming in the river
On the day the country died.

Baby, Baby, do you feel free?
Growing up in the Anthropocene
Learn what you learn, feel what you feel
If you steal what you love, love what you steal

Time wants a skeleton
The hero wants a mask
I’ll be there for you brother
You only have to ask
We’ll go down to the basement
And dismantle the cross
We need it for a fire to light our way across
An ocean ov unconscious ideas in their sleep
Our eyes are sown together, so we dream instead ov weep





Keep clear the broken corners
When crawling through a mirror
If you cut yourself on accident
That’s when I will appear

(( D. Santamaria ))
