everybody look happy
everybody
you, you, and you look happy
you, you, and you look happy
everybody look happy
everybody
you, you, and you look happy
you, you, and you look happy
everybody look happy
take the mask off, everybody look crappy
crappy past, no pops, no love, beat by a cop, mom on drugs
didn’t show affirmation, no hugs
communication at home, conflict resolution
fightin’ for discussion, fightin’ to be heard, raise your voice louder,
get hit harder, father slap daughter
mom beat the boy, spare the rod, spoil the child
do it with hate though, watch the child go wild
sexual assault, suicidal thoughts
the victim feels at fault
no one gets caught
bring on the onslaught, the reason why he fought
what he been taught? Don’t talk, just fight
yeah, that cat over there that looks alright
inside is a match ‘bout to light that dynamite
everybody look happy
everybody
you, you, and you look happy
you, you, and you look happy
everybody look happy
everybody
you, you, and you look happy
you, you, and you look happy
all right
let me calm down
and just try to talk
just try to talk but...
what’s the discourse.
when young men can’t feel remorse
what’s the discourse?
when young women can’t feel remorse?
mom & dad divorced
but, never got married
situation Harry, ‘cause nairly everyone
thinks so little of it
what’s it and What’s it all mean
better question yet, what it’s it to you?
what’s it to me? It is you at peace
so that we can live free

bird

the bird sits still
she tries to fly
the sky is filled
and we don't know why
she can't get up
she can't spread wide
she feels the sun
fill the empty inside
she has the means
but, her mind is blurred
to flap her wings
would require a verb
she can't perform
she is stuck in the past
the glory of her storm
she can not act
the past: we can not act
the past: we can not talk
the past: is not my fact
the past: is always a fall
she wants more
she gets less
she needs less
she gets more
(repeats)

tree
02:05

ugly trees grow in the winter
beautiful trees sprout in the summer
they say I am a no good sinner
until my soul gets saved, makes me wonder
about that tall lanky tree
sittin' there all winter long all naked
for man, woman, and child to see
could it be that this is when the tree is more sacred?
or at leas as much as
i own a car and can drive anywhere
i know a man, can’t afford a bus pass
he works harder than me, life isn’t fair
okay, now back to this tree
do you decide its beauty at the root?
okay, now back to this me
do you decide my beauty and truth?
it’s never how we see it
it’s all in how we need it
and want those needs to never be met
but surpassed for the best
