My Reflection

Can't say I aint never done wrong
Yeah ain’t no context to my songs
Sometimes it’s just cry-cry
And a thinker wonders why
What kind of picture do I paint?
One with a groove that makes you think
But where are those words drawn?
Well from life and the beyond
Quite a few people that I’ve known
Many miles my truck has gone
Many a sight diverse scenes
Some where warm and nice and others were cold and mean
But through it all
My Mind never strayed so far from home
Yeah through it al
I caught hold of something they call Reason
Oh yes through it all
I saw some of what true nature hides away

Not of Earth

And with that rosary trembling in my hand
Images of the savior within that wooden band
At the end of the line you’ve got to pay what is owed
So just jump on in and let it go (let it go)...
Some men they claim peace but they show greed
They embrace with open arms but won’t listen to you speak
Hears only of the bad and disregards the rest
Speaks with fervent voice of being “the best” (well that’s a mess I must confess)...
Now those men despise what they don’t understand
Preach only what they think they’ve know no thoughts in there hands
But words pour forth from fervent mouths
Where do they come from the north or the south? (well that doesn’t matter no sir)...

Ways It Used to Be

I hope you’ve got yourself figured out
You left trails of blood I can still taste in my mouth
But these days those things don’t seem to get over me
Well that’s a different tune from the ways it used to be
Yeah I hope you ain’t hiding in the midst of a storm
I hope you’ve found a space where you can be reborn
I hope all those hateful thoughts of yours were washed away
But in the end really I just can’t say
I heard Indiana gets cold this time of year
And why that came to mind ain’t exactly
I’m an architect of thought much growth as ensued
But in your world what about you?

Love the late 80s and early 90s hardcore/punk/groove going on with this composition! Plusssss the other albums this artist us put out are multi-genre. I very much respect diversity. The vocals slap!

I have actually listened to this album a bunch!!! When I was younger I wasn’t that much into ambient, but this project with a couple of other more alt/emotive flavours really got me into the sounds.
