INTRO
Sometimes when I’m walking and a man looks at me
I think of all the ways I could make him bleed
I would dig my key into his eye
I’d crack his teeth, liver and spleen
V1
My brother died when I was eight
He turned blue and yellow at three months of age
One night I dug at the grave
his small crate freshly laid
CHORUS
Terror, Terror
Knows me by name
Terror, Terror
Now lives in the day
V2
I was thirteen when I got fucked and bled all over the sheetsI fled to the laundry , house nigga make em’ white and clean
He whistled me from darkness, he churned my pussy cream
Now I’m pissing and praying, cum outta me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
He knows, me by name,
He lives, in my everyday

Queer back in highschool
Dressing up in pink, purple, and blue
Playing in mud wearing tutus

Kill the show and sell
Fuck em' all, women and men.

Now this song is about a man named Lewis.
Lewis H. Michaux to be exact.
Now Lewis owned a little bookstore in Harlem,
And one day while he was sitting in his bookstore,
Some black boys came in with their fists up screaming, “black power black power!”.
He said, look sons I’d like to straighten you out.
He said, black is beautiful but black ain’t power,
Knowledge is power, sons.
CHORUS
Cuz you can be as black as a crow,
You can be as white as snow,
But if you don’t know,
And you ain’t got no dough,
You can’t go and that’s for sho’.
V2
Now Lewis also said that when the white man landed here he brought two weapons
One was the bible and the other was the gun
If he didn’t humble you with the Bible,
He crumbled you with the gun.
And they’re still praising the Lord,
And passing ammunition all over the world.
CHORUS
Cuz you can be as black as a crow,
You can be as white as snow,
But if you don’t know,
And you ain’t got no dough,
You can’t go and that’s for sho’.
V3
So as I was listening to Lewis’ words,
I thought a couple of my own:
The human collective strives to be connected
Our minds strive the respect of intellect
Our souls; no regret
Our bodies; the joy of no neglect.
We are constrained by societal norms,
Born with individuality to only conform,
And the cycle goes on in sync.
So I think what Lewis is trying to say here is,
Live life, love life, and be smart.
Take your piece, don’t play your part.
CHORUS
Cuz you can be as black as a crow,
You can be as white as snow,
But if you don’t know,
And you ain’t got no dough,
You can’t go and that’s for sho’.

Daveed do you know what your name means?
Zion is the place where earth and heaven meet.
There's a time for war
And there's a time for peace
Brother, I want you to know bravery
Through me
CHORUS
Let your feet be led by the grass, sand and sea
Let your heart be led by your soul and you will see
the strength of a tempered heart.
the strength of a tempered heart
V2
Daveed, I want you to know love, fearless love
Zion, I want you to know freedom
Stand, stretch your hand
And beauty will embrace you
Brother I want you to know honesty
Through me
CHORUS 2
So I'm letting my feet be led by the grass, sand and sea
I'm letting my heart be led by my soul so I will see
the strength of a tempered heart
the strength of a tempered heart
the strength of a tempered heart
the strength of a tempered heart

Estuvimos en Escocia
cuando él parecía feliz.
Me pude ver allí en esa
tierna y escarpada tierra.
Pero sabía que mi corazón pertenecía
en Granada…
V2
Nací en Estados Unidos, pero
mi abuelo es de Escocia y
mi abuela es de España
y me pregunto si sienten lo que yo siento hoy.
en Granada…
BRIDGE
Jurame
Abrazame en Escocia
pero besame
en Granada…
Translation (English):
V 1
We were in Scotland
When he looked happiest.
I could see my life there
In that tender and rugged land
But I knew my heart belonged
en Granada...
V2
I was born in America but
My grandfather is from Scotland and
My grandmother is from Spain.
And I wonder if they felt what I feel today.
en Granada...
BRIDGE
Vow to me.
Hold me in Scotland
But kiss me
en Granada...

And let’s turn you

She was perfectly perfumed
so dogs and fools would follow.
She found ecstasy in stealing time:
The greatest piracy.
O and her fucking dog, her picket fence,
her pool, her married parents, her mowed grass.
I never felt I was good enough.
She never thought I was either.
Just enough to fuck her
once in a while.
And then there was the second
lady of the head.
She was a vision of Vienna
with her love handles and breasts.
O My Salvation Army suzanne!
My goodwill pack rat.
You were a tarot card hippie tease.
But thanks for sharing all your weed.
Then there was the third
O I thought she must be the one.
Hardly a hidden treasure.
A leftover from a faded era.
With her cheap, dirty crystals,
and tacky wooden mules.
To think I took you to my sacred hotel.
To think you were my muse.
Good thing I didn’t write any songs
about your ugly clogs.
You thought everything was beautiful.
Well it ain’t, art therapy degree.
And your beliefs were part of the lost and found junk
you lugged around in your olive green satin purse.
You thought you were so down to earth
with your barefoot feet.
Fuck I loved her feet.
They were tattooed and so delicate.
O heartbeat
of my imagination,
O moonlit illusion,
I hear your call.
I want to harmonize.
I want to drown.
I want to die.

V1
Once they let the ship to burn
Once they let the mast to light
Once they had a hold on me
Once they led the way for you
V2
I love you like this house on fire
I wish it were a dark nightmare
I wish for lighter melodies
That lead us on away
CHORUS
Hunger, hunger, look at how the hunger moves
Hunger, hunger, drives me in my love for you
V3
Where they meet down in the valley
Where both cannot be fed
So it was made to seem to us
So the captain said
V4
There you took me in my love
There you proved them wrong
And with every wedge they drive between
Stronger grow my arms
CHORUS
Hunger, hunger, look at how the hunger moves
Hunger, hunger, drives me in my love for you
V5
Love that sailed a thousand miles
Met it with a deadly foe
A little drop of poison
From a father to a son
CHORUS
Hunger, hunger, look at how the hunger moves
Hunger, hunger, drives me in my love for you

V1
Pick a stone from the sea
color fading in the heat
So the sand swims around me
V2
I know the sound of waves so well
Echoes of the womb
Like my mother knows my heartbeat
CHORUS
One side on the ocean
The other on the bay
the space in between
is where I remain
Forever an island
Always alone
Interlude
V3
Am I caught in a spell
standing within the dunes
winter in my bones again
V4
As wampum
or sea glass
Sorrow washes upon my shore
CHORUS
One side on the ocean
The other on the bay
the space in between
is where I remain
Forever an island
Always alone
Always Alone
