fuck everything that keeps apart
from the loud ass bars to the internet
We're all we need we have it all
and I'll be there if you happen to fall
my friends all want to leave
this city thats wrung them dry
I want them to stay close to me
because our love is all we need
This lie that we need money
this hoax that'll itll makes happy
this fib that we need drugs
to keep us interesting
it's time to for some self-love
it's time for some self-healing
fuck everything that keeps us apart
from the racism to the misogyny
be who you are and I'll be me
fuck the norms of society

Love Derailed
03:06

I held you close on the train
we moved together to LA
never took shit from anyone
except each other we were so young
we met in our teenage years
5 years later so many tears
so many tears
so many tears
its always
easiest
to hurt the ones you love
our demons
insecurities
manifested in a punch
literally figuratively
Im sorry for the blood
I still love you
from a distance
but wouldnt turn down a hug
Met so many on our road
so many memories we still hold
the good the bad and the ugly too
I only wish I saw more of you
Some times it takes too long
to learn how to love someone
to love someone I love someone
to love someone I love someone

Flames and the Flood
04:13
|

Deep
in the shadows
of our fractured hearts
there lies
an ember
from which the fire starts
stoking the anger the grief and the sorrow
uniting the hearts of those long since forgotten
embrace your last days death comes tomorrow
the flames will lay waste to this
false existence
the pain the ball and chain this cage
reduced to dust
like the phoenix we shall rise from your
slow demise
tlaloc rise release
the flood
the water flows over the rivers edge
reclaiming the cities panic starts to spread
and those at ground level will be washed away
and those whove been buried will see the day
you fall
we rise
you fall we rise

This song right here x3
a call to defend the queer

taught to hate themselves
and little boys yeah little boys yeah little boys
taught to hold the tears
this hate filled little boys have become
self hating men
who in turn look to destroy
what was taken from them x2
violence is as violence does
and there aint no excuse for what we've done
we've called them boys and made them men
\w/o listening to a word theyve said
this little kids deserve a chance to decide on
what makes them whole
theyre more than boys theyre more than girls
we need to destroy these gender roles
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck the gender binary x2
fuck the gender binary

School
03:29
|

when I was in school they tried to drug me
because I wouldnt stay in my seat
running around and screaming out loud
the walls they had couldnt hold me
they called me names trying to break me
they said I would end up on the street
but when I did the joke was on them
I finally found worth in myself
we are the kids that wont shut up
and we are the kids looking out the window
we know theres more than what you can teach
we can see it outside its within our reach x2
schools are prisons made for kids
their books are cages for your brain
theres nothin that scares them more
than a child who wants to explore
my failing grades for your failed attempt
to turn me into a fucking robot
im gunna learn something useful
like building a fire
to burn your as to the ground

Chencho vs I.C.E.
03:06
|

we've been hunted and chased down
chained a shackled southern bound
parents stolen from their kids
hide no more we'll have your heads x2
this song goes out to I.C.E.
you punk asses better watch your backs
cuz Chenchos coming for you
you thought that itd be just another simple raid
youd lure them out and throw them in a cage
but when you got out you were bashed in the skull
and when you awoke you thought you were in hell
stripped from your life your family and your home
we put you in a cell where youre all alone
we hope you think about
all the innocent youve herded
as you start to feel
what its like to be hunted
chenchos coming for you

well goku and gohan were fishing in the woods
when raditz came to invade their hood
He didnt expect the power of the Z's
he thought that he could do as he pleased
so goku and piccolo capped his ass
but unfortunatley for them
he wouldnt be the last
gentrification is pushing out our families
It is the new manifest destiny
and although they're trying to bury us
they did not know that we are seeds
Knowing the saiyans were on their way
the z's trained every single day
they said you're not taking our home
it;s here we'll stay where our kids have grown
so with his power gohan transformed
smashing vegeta into the ground
Bcuuuuz there
aint no power like the power of the people cuz the power of the people dont stop say what!
