Put it up you got a wall Lay it down we got a road Start making some noise You can draw a crowd Everyone is walking with Bunched up underwear Everyone is hiding it But no one will admit They were glancing at you On the underground Just keep looking out the window Until we go back under again (Poem by Ben Kennison)

You're unclenching your fist It's never right Don't walk away from the fight We're going down a list of those Who might do the work of the night And so I'm searching for a host To keep my soul A ghoul, a ghost I want to Haunt you I want to haunt you Will you carry my torch To win this relay race We have to speed up the pace And call for revolution Let's be creative with solutions Cleanse your mind of the pollution That they force down your throat I'm searching for a host To keep my soul A ghoul, a ghost I want to Haunt you I want to haunt you I'm searching for a host To keep my soul A ghoul, a ghost I want to Haunt you I want to haunt you

All I have left to give Is a simple blessful Stroke. My hand against your cheek Before I go. All I have left to give Is a meak smile And tired eyes A glance that speaks more Than I ever did. All I have left to give is a wave Farwell Your eyes wide My arms aside. All I ever did Was crawl through a war torn Landscape. Scattered parts Decorating the road Home. All I ever wanted Was to stop the heavy flow From my brain To my heart. All I ever did Was scrape the woes of time Off my entombed chest. Before the simple gest Would scatter my limbs To the wind (Poem by Saskia)

I’ve waited so many sunsets To kiss your lips again Living feels so easy Defying everything we can Diving through the museums Wishing we were the statues I’m sinking into your smile I can’t believe I’m the one you wanted to choose How good it feels to be with you again How good it feels (x2) The sun kisses our skin As we float across the sand Gazing into your eyes Holding your hand Diving through the museums Wishing we were the statues I’m sinking into your smile I can’t believe I’m the one you wanted to choose How good it feels to be with you again How good it feels (x2) (instrumental break - with some groovy bass) Diving through the museums Wishing we were the statues I’m sinking into your smile I can’t believe I’m the one you wanted to choose How good it feels to be with you again How good it feels (x4)

Camila and I were the missing puzzle piece (Am/E/C) That you needed in your life So that you could hang us up on your wall. Did the villagers thank you enough For saving them from the dragon? Now you’re the puzzle piece that the king can’t find He’s just about to fall. Bona nit, Claudia Et trobarem a faltar Did you ever find those pearl earrings that you lost You didn’t care about the money, Only the memories that they cost We left the building, then we left the village, Then we left the country. We tried to bring back chocolates For your pantry. Bona nit, Claudia Et trobarem a faltar Somehow I knew that we would never meet again… But I came back, dressed in black To support Josep. And in my mind I can go back in time And see you sitting in your chair As I say Bona nit, Claudia (Am/E/C) Et trobarem a faltar. Bona nit, Claudia, Te echaremos de menos.

Clean 00:30
You never say what you want You never say what you mean I need to hear it loud and clear To keep this mess clean

a must 02:46
A man with a stick-like posture with a rigid walk sat on mine, next to me out of all the benches on the square. He asked me if I spoke English, and my curved posture straightened with a "yes!" He grinned with scruffy cheeks and fidgeted his coat zipper nervously. It felt as though he hadn't stared into the eyes of a female in a long time. He had no other questions to pull out of his magic beret and so we sat there in silence for what felt like eons. I tossed him a forced smile and then proceeded writing my poem about unrequited love... or lust? I couldn't tell the difference. Especially in the city with the cars that almost run you over The kiss is rarely ever sober The markets that amaze The music that always plays The golden people and their snub noses The mind set that always closes The hungry people and their contracts The nice people not sure how to react The buildings that are highly domed The shit that's privately owned The graying river that guides The walks that are so wide The cigarettes and the suits The chic outfits and matching boots The fringes and buzz cuts The passion and the lust This city is a must This city is a must

did you hear 00:18
Did you hear about the blues on the working morning news About the flood, about the drought About the blood, what are your doubts? She said that things were always messed up That I’m naive and I need to grow up like everyone else But maybe that’s why we are drowning

final steps 02:42
16.
I see the moon every night Giving me a light And the power to fight For silver heights How are you so beautiful? What a mystery Mhmm
17.
I crossed the line I crossed the line I crossed the line I crossed the line I crossed the line I crossed the line Aaahhhhh Ayayay
18.
Sinking into the sky Diving into the lies They are my only truth Falling down the slope Was my only hope Now I don't know what to do I wasn't made to be here So don't keep me near I wasn't made to be here So don't keep me near
19.
We're all cogs in this coffee machine Crushing and churning the billions of beans Percolate, percolate, percolate, percolate Pour it in a paper cup Or a plastic cup Or a cardboard cup Or a metal cup Or a styrofoam cup Or a ceramic cup Or a porcelain mug Percolate, percolate, percolate, percolate Sugar Oh, agave. agave Coffee gives me a shake Cause I gotta stay awake My dark circles are blacker than this coffee

Hey friends, are you ready to be pushed into the deep end of the pool? Pack all the lessons you've learned in your suitcase since you've been going to school But wait Your head was always in the clouds You always wanted to get out But now You're clinging to the skies 'Cause you realised The limits of your life So let's build a new world in which we will fit Instead of selling our labour to those pricks We could start a co-op and only make decisions democratically We could start a band and get people to pay only what they want We can grow a garden and house and feed all of our homeless friends But they won't be homeless no more 'Cause they'll always have a home with us I bet this is the future you never thought you'd have Well it's a cruel and ugly world So let's create pockets of compassion So let's create pockets of compassion And hopefully the pockets will grow like trees And show that nicer ways of living exist Caring about others is a way to resist Caring about others is a way to resist
21.
Trapped 01:58
Raised by liberals Brainwashed by passivism Desired consuming evil Can’t repress my nihilism I don’t want to be a hypocrite I don’t know if my story is worthit It’s difficult for me to be bold Are my words getting old You say I shouldn’t take the blame You say your pain is corporate gain But I’m sorry I wasn’t there I’m still sorry I wasn’t there I was trapped in the corner Of the living room of my brain I was blinded from your pain
22.
Poison 03:31
//You sucked the poison out of my mind And pumped in love//
23.
Same 02:16
I’m just a number in their eyes But they haven’t looked into mine Ripped away my child from my arms Please don’t leave her in a cage She’s done no harm Do you hear the echoes of my pain Would you want someone to do the same To you I knocked on my door But they claimed there was a secret password Called me a vampire When it’s their empire Do you hear the echoes of my pain Would you want someone to do the same To you
24.
You replaced your animal-shaped crackers For cigarettes as your snack But you still hogged them down Dropping crumbs on your shirt Pack after pack A sugar rushed into a nicotine buzz But you didn't quite get what the feeling was So you sat on a bench and listened to a song Through your headphones though you Couldn't sing along Your lungs grew heavy like your tummy used to And then you prayed the chemicals would Stop doing what they do And then you prayed the chemicals would Stop doing what they do Stop doing what you do
25.
Pretty and quiet Rose up Became the riot Grew up Dark circles under your eyes Scratch marks on your thighs Didn't say if I'd ever return Couldn't say the words that I never learned Self-Deprecating humour Masking the tumour Growing inside your conscience As a subtle violence Didn't say if I'd ever return Couldn't say the words that I never learned Didn't say if I'd ever return Couldn't say the words that I never learned A perfect person learns from their mistakes Which you are Which you are
26.
The Doom 02:37
27.
You did what you were asked to do Didn’t fight back against who was assigned to you Kept your head down low Received the trophy at the award show You got your masters degree Moved into a gated community Now you’re onto your PHD Oh doctor, doctor will you save those like me, for free? The sea of fascists is rising Don’t tell me you find that surprising This climate isn’t a joke How do you stay quiet when your shoes are soaked
28.
I wore your sweater to every protest that I attended (jazz)
29.
Too Early 02:04
30.
Sane 01:52
I’ve worn your shirt for a few days now Cause it hurt when you went away How can I remember who I am When you’re not there to remind me that I’m sane, that I’m not alone That I’m not vain, I’m just not how I’m perceived I had to repress the colorful sides of myself Nobody asked me what it’s like to be half Korean and how that affects the way that I navigate the world But I don’t want to be a fetish I don’t want to be erased I wish these weren’t the realities that I have to face There is nothing I have to prove I’m not the one that should improve I’m wearing your shirt to feel less anxious about the implications of gender and race Why is everything so binary? It’s a scale, a very vast scale And why do we even have to categorize everything?
31.
How strange the box I'm being moulded into has bars They turned on the CO2, how have I made it this far? But the greenhouse has melted the metal away And lit the fire in me, I'm fighting starting today Picking the sand out of my ear How the sounds in colour I can hear Standing up when you expect me to stay seated Your oppression is making us heated
32.
I don't think this working Don't fix what is broken Throw it away And move on Okay?
33.
I wanted to look for something familiar I sank in the overwhelming wonder A wave of an explosion A balanced distortion Where do you go on from this? (x4) I searched for kind spirits behind empty eyes I felt my surroundings creep up from behind A storm of emotion An ordered commotion Where do you go on from this? (x4) Covering the view (covering the view) Of something new (something new) I never knew (I never knew) What to do (what to do) And now that I see (now that I see) What it's gonna be Where do you go on from this? (x4)
34.
last 01:26
Days and days we spent together Under the umbrella of the weather Walking with my two front feet Dancing to the kick of my heart beat I was waiting in silence For the return of the past I was dying of confusion I wish you would last with me I wish you would last with me I wish you would last with me

crook 01:48
I stared at the apple stuck on your throat You know that I gag when I see your leather coat The trees they told me to dance But I know that I won't have a chance to The bruise on my face is from my own fist I sometimes wish others would get pissed As long as I don't die The world will pass by Only onions make me cry I prefer to just sigh I'm learning to cook Simultaneously how to not be a crook Those days are long gone Unless you want some fun But it's boring living by the book Won't say how much I took

SHUT UP aghhh Shut the fuck up Hey shut up! A minor
43.
I want to be a sheet of paper Where you draw yourself away And I know you might shred me to bits But I long to be the song you play They whisper to the birds That you gobbled them up They're so scared for me But I need to drink from your cup There's a hand That reaches out like a branch It's writing out my will I want to taste your mouth Even though I know it might kill me
44.
*plays a bossa nova version of the intro to Soundwaves* *fucs up* pfff IT WORKS! hahaha
