Upsetter's Dub

if i was the upsetter
what would i say?
they're overdrafted,
owe us fees for showing less than minimum balance of humanity,
their for profit posture has bankrupt moral standing,
manical contractual contingencies to make absolutely sure that the bank got theirs,
that system stays secure,
that they who have your money,
get to keep that money
get to keep all their money
If I was The Upsetter, I'd tell you all about the bank
I'd tell you to follow that money, it's simple to take
if 1 plus 1 is two then 2 plus 2 is 4
they're taking all our money and laughing out the door

Critters' Dub

Live invisible and unheard,
Them at the top just won’t shut up
Projecting what should or not
Happy to let what is; continue to be
Us chaotic masses swimming in the refuse of their circumstances
They start wars conveniently crafted to quietly manipulate the percentages
Recalculate the repayment rate, damn well know this table is tilted toward you or me
Happy to let what is; continue to be
Let me out, I no longer fit in the hole you keep me in
Sooner or later, one way or another, Babylon is gonna fall
Fella gonna figure you out, and that’s when it happens
Let me out.
They’ll have you believing in such reasoning so vague yet satisfying;
like eternal promises for a lifetime of suffering
Or menial material bonuses for scaled economic siphoning;
First they’ll take a little from the bottom, then from the top,
Then they’ll squeeze the middle to death.
They’ll tell you live invisible and unheard, you’re not an individual
Fall in line with the herd.
Let me out.

Love Is
07:07
|

Love Is the light inside of you
pair of eyes trace & tally
we are not triangles
not parallels
yet at times meet
windows & mirrors flash & shine
we turn to face stars
to let dawn remind
and dusk reclaim
let our times repeat
like a plant that grows
like a reflection that shows
like a flame that burns forever
like a reach that goes past never
like sanctuary in simple embrace
like an aurora of peace to crown the whole place
after every moment, minute, hour,
day, month, year, decade
love is suddenly so many particular faces found
in sometimes peculiar places
love is the light inside you

To Watch For
03:10
|
|||
Someone to watch for
Who cuts through
hazy mind to find
center in state of confusion
im lost wandering cavernous
anxiousness left behind
by shifting weight of
emotional glaciers
as they crack and push
into one another
until the moment when
pressure seems to great
to be contained
...just breath

Down By The River

that's just the way of it
where they happen to sit
got this particular fit
good chance they're gonna slip in
and drift away down stream
lifted then dragged under scene
so the play can continue on screen
on looking audience paid the highest price
so justified to keep pushing forward
and see who sinks next,
maybe snatch up some bargain deals
on seats down by the river,
practically a steal, by the way
are you a strong swimmer?
won't you please, take me away?
to find peace, far from shore?
full breath in, come on down
the water's just fine,
I hope you don't drown

Don't Call Me Sir
02:48
|

I’ve never claimed some noble rite
Got less cash than what’s in my hand
Never knelt down before the queen
Got no land near, far, or between.
Im not your knight, don't call me sir
Im not that type, don't call me sir
Im not your bro, some just call me fam
Im not male, so don't call me man
No thank you not me, i don’t relate
Please don’t share tips on how to procreate
No thank you I’m good, I won’t play along
I dunno try go home alone? this bird don’t sing that song
**
I will say that you’re not the one
Who sets me straight, or tell me i'm wrong
Neither I or the world owes you this
explanation, expectation, performance, none of it
I see this attitude, all fired up on anatomy;
got flames in his britches, he got that thirst in his wishes
Head full of thoughts about how and not one about her
A head full with now hides his heart behind sir.
**
Please don't call me,
don't call me sir
In my mind, where there is only me
She tells me I am her, that I should let me free
After all this time hiding hatred for myself
Maybe this time I’ll feel love for myself
I’ve got dysphoria for days, trade denim for dresses
But body dysmorphia keeps me soring with stresses
Looking in the mirror my is wretched complexion
Instead she said wait, please have just a bit more compassion
I’ve never tried to tame any dragons
I’ve never been looking for honor for having
I’m not your officer, I’m not your sovereign
That respect is violence, the culture is silence

Stop Watching
08:16
|

Stop watching, quit flocking like a human herd of antelope
Be a radioactive isotope, radiate energy like a split nucleus
With laser focus, like imagine a ball before your eyes
Then let it roll to the back of your mind, then drop out
Fall in deep to the dark of your own light
Let it nothing, let out nothing, just be
And dont even try to see anything, release completely
Let this silence find itself around the whole place
When the pressure of and infinite sea of nothing
Starts to set itself on your shoulders
