Who Took the Rain

And I know…
The world is burning
And I know…
This is the end
Nothing changes if nothing changes
Because we know this is the end
And I wonder..
Who took the rain?
And I wonder..
Who took the rain?
All the birds…
Flew away today
And the skies…

Here I stand
On the edge of darkness and light
If I look beyond
I’ll only fail
Is this the confines of life?
Involution
Go deeper into space
There’s no thinking or feeling
We do not exist
Can we go on?
What is what we’ve learned was wrong?
Signs and Semantics
The power of words that we use
Things to describe
Commitment to changing our mind
Let’s let go of words
Let’s let go of attachment
The thoughts that we have mean nothing to us
All our teachers were wrong
There’s one real truth the teacher inside
Conditioning keeps us stuck
Believing the lies
Or juicing the thought
Separation despair
Commitment to changing our minds!
Here I stand on the edge of darkness and light

Starvation
In a toxic world
Wasteland
Women and perfect girls
Is this what we’re coming to?
Progress negates the facts
Is this what we’re coming to…
Hey Miss America
De-crowned!
Put on a pedestal
Knocked down!
Use it against you
Unwound!
In the face of oppression
Burnt at the stake or standing on the stage

Label me
It proves you cannot think
Excuse me off
Because it’s not “your thing”
Plastic manufactured record label darling
I am not a model
I don’t act
This is not a cash grab
Mistake my life
For a vehicle of fame
This is not a test of opinions

Can’t hear my thoughts
But thinking’s overrated
Movement on the street
Semi-vegetated
Trapped in my cell
Dilapidated hell
Venice Beach ain’t no friend of mine
Compact in a contract
I’m counting down the days
Air is clearing
Blowing out the heys
No stability
No consistency
No foundation
The floor is sinking
I can’t close the door
Imminent collapse
Shaken to the core
I gotta get out, I’ve done my time
Venice Beach ain’t no friend of mine
Compact in a contract
I’m counting down the days
Air is clearing
I’m blowing out the haze
No stability
No consistency
No foundation

We'll Find You
02:00
|
|||
|
Burned out
Lost and turned away
Shut-out
Cost of disarray
Life comes fast
Gear-up for attack
We’ll find you
Fed-up
Get down with change
Get out
Laughter in the rain
Life comes fast
Gear-up for attack
We’ll find you
Everyone belongs here
The lonely and afraid
If you feel you’re different
Be brave
Everyone belongs here
Don’t live in fear
Friends will accept you
Be near

No!
Don’t tell me to smile
No!
Don’t call me cute
Does size and gender
Dictate your reactions?
What if I was a man?
Would you talk the same?
So condescending
I don’t want to conform
No!
Don’t buy me a drink
No!
Don’t “explain” it to me
Closeted mysogyny
Hides the intent
Patriarchal values
Flavor the event
All you CIS MEN need to wake the fuck up
Wake up
Does size and gender
Dictate your reactions
What if I was a man?
This is a symptom of a greater dis-ease
Wake the fuck up

I Weep for the Future
01:50
|

Stars in your eyes
I can’t disguise
Can’t hold back not gonna try
Overlooked, pushed aside
Choked-out life, an empty fight
They said it wasn’t happening
They said we’re never gonna end
I weep for the future
Dying suffering
No power to hold
Extiction zone
Can’t reverse, reanimate
It’s a climate fight
It’s a human right
Monetize everything
They said they had no way around it
They said we had no time to plan
I weep for the future
Dying suffering

Nausea
Nortriptyline
Naratriptan
Pamelor
Apathy
Lethargy
Crushing depression…
From within
Maybe this will be the end of me?
Internal - heredity
Maybe this will be the end of me?
Emotions
No control
Pressure
Solitude
Silence
Madness rains
Anger
Defeated mind

Don’t wanna play your head games
Ain’t gonna be a chaser
Tired of hanging on every word
Tired of never being heard
Living on different lines
Dressed in different rhymes
Running on different times
You don’t wanna hear the truth
Won’t be burned again
I’m not standing quiet in the shadows
I’m not standing quiet
Living on different lines
Dressed in different rhymes
Running on different times
Something new every night
Same old story, same old line
Time’s up! Light it up!
All you do is talk and talk...

It’s great to hear Ian and Joe back at it with the lovely female vocals to boot. Still anti-hate and anti-war as ever. Brilliance that won’t quit.

Hunger for a Way Out
by Sweeping Promises

This sounds like it could have been released in any of the last 5-6 decades. Solid, tight songs that warm the soul. I’m picking up on a wide diversity of sounds, from The Pixies to Blondie. Really glad to have stumbled across these guys!

Hyperactive, bugged-out post-punk from the duo of John Toohill (Science Man) and Brandon Schlia (Clump).
