about

A rock opera that dives into the realm of The Forgotten Man; a beaten, broken and neglected soul thrown to the profiteering wolves featuring special guest vocalists The Voice's Jamila Thompson and eSoreni

lyrics

Tell me a story of darkness
Tell me a story without light
Take me to places where I will see faces
Without bones

It's a fight for truth
It'll last forever
Make yourself strong
An endless endeavor
Step in the mindfield
You're not feeling fine field
In the United States of America
You wanna feed your family
A structural calamity
It's an octopus effect
With the tentacles stretching out
Around your neck

Yes they mind you coming here
They're wasting all our time time
Building walls around their fears
They've lost their freakin' minds, yeah
Cause it's the color of our skin
Ignorance don't want to let us in
They mind you coming here
That's them talking in their sleep

Rocket to the sky gonna get me high
Rocket to the sky just a simple guy
Searchin' for the sun it moves across the sky
My rocket takes me further to the end of Pi

Life's just full of make-up
A hellava cover-up
No one to witness honesty
No one tells you the truth
Cause that's the policy

You see that roadside junkie
He's a caged off monkey
They put him out to die
His brain was fried
His brain was fried
His brain was fried

Gelatine spines corrupting my mind
Gelatine spines corrupting my mind
Gelatine spines corrupting my mind
Gelatine spines corrupting my mind

You hear every Robert Johnson
Howlin' in the Wind
They put them out to die
Under the poverty skies
Who cares if they were
An honest guy
Forgotten men and minstrels
They gonna die

Like them you got a dashing suit
Ooh Ohh broken underneath the boot
I hear you cry
How'd you ever become that guy
That guy
That guy
How did you ever become that guy
How did you ever become that guy

Tell me a story of darkness
Tell me a story without light
Take me to places where I will see faces
Without bones
