"History"
Bam!
The hammer's coming down
Silent is the class clown
In class you wear the crown
Oh, but what will you do
When you learn the clown's you?

We all must learn our history
It's something everyone should know
But where did my history go?
It's in the textbooks and words said
By straight old white guys who are dead
Do you really think that's me?

You think that diversity is race
If we learn black as well as white
Then everything is alright
You think that everything is fair
Fuck the other people out there
Their histories you just erase

They are just a little side note
Who cares what happened to the gays
Or that Stonewall lasted four days
Why did the ERA not pass
We don't have enough time in class
Just stick to what the dead guys wrote

We learn by what isn't spoken
The silence screams to be heard
So much more than the whispered word
Do you know what you are saying
Do you know who has been paying
The barriers must be broken

Bam!
The hammer's coming down
This time you are the clown
You've been stripped of your crown
Oh, but what will you do
Cause you know this is true.
"Magnetic"
the wind moans
I see you
in the storm
one moment
the rain cries
aching sleeps
the sky falls
as we soar
beautiful
like an
eternity
BaCK To STuFF i WRoTe
"You"
delicate whispers
soar in the black sky
thousands of moments
deliriously
aching like the wind
moaning together
sadly bitterly
visions never true
only raw dreams live
leaving mad shadows
above loveless roads
in hot frantic sleep
as I worship you
