We are all born with the same gaps in our teeth Ripped out and torn jagged by straw So we put lead in our cavities, that pull our jaws to the floor And put machines through our tongues To silence the thought that beauty resides in those holes To gods who fear our half-beating hearts, and warn those who feel them To a visage of disfigurement who loves all A mouth full of gasoline and flesh So creators maim our chest to lead with our eyes And speak with our heels and wrists so they can always see us Dry up our wells, lease us with thirst, and beg for god to come We are not hollow creations who feel with the skin of machine We are the marrow of our lungs, expelling us into the floor We are the thoughts of those giants who stood before us We are the men who machines fear We are the unwanted smoke of visionaries We are the steal down our barracks We are the throat scratched raw from silence We are a conquest, that’s not to be lost

Que Sera 03:24
Que sera sera Que sera sera Oh it is, what it is Mothers, hold your daughters Fathers, hold your sons They’re driving out your bones You’ll work ‘till you’re gone She loved us all the same She loved me everyday It’s all she had to give I pray she’s with the lord Save your words, my friend Of better times You’re all that’s left in this world Please don’t close your eyes

Comfort 02:46
If you look for truth You may find comfort in the end If you look for comfort You will not get comfort, or truth Only soft soap And wishful thinking to begin And in the end Despair (Lyrics/Words originally by C.S. Lewis)
4.
Mother’s flesh, her bones have fled To earth, before ash takes them Headstones to home Her calcified lungs That the bones neglect to bring Her gums to bleed ‘till scabs are brought And floods to drown them Borrowed children’s words and thoughts Her teeth were meant to grind them Calmed the air, to which they take chest and hands to mend them The cancer that was left Coins a gaze and mouths sewn shut Mourning dust Welcomes rot
