Stars 03:48
Stars They shine behind the thick Fog it thickens quick Veil reveal the gems The live there still hidden Shine on shine on Long Forgotten cast aside The brightest ones denied See now come the storms They beckon us and warn Shine on shine on (Never extinct, only just wandering This can’t be it, only just hiding) Well I’ve seen it, and I’ve felt it Even touched it before I have held it, and I wanted To protect and swore There was something, there was greater Something nudges my core Clouds part they are always here See how The dawning of the dusk Enslaves the light we must Scour the skies remains To find at last our way

Tracking 02:51
Don’t look back Your tracks are wearing thin And now they’re on to you And they’re following Oh you, you stupid Didn’t you think this would catch up with you Here’s to, to looking ahead But first lets Cover up our tracks And keep on keep on keep Next time Our catch line Toss me some I gotta gotta get mine Wipe out Our rescue team Now all alone our trekking goes Oh you, you stupid Didn’t you think this would catch up with you Here’s to, to looking ahead But first lets Cover up our tracks And keep on keep on keep

Confessions 03:09
I’m calling, know you hear me So I’m pleading, please forgive me Cause there’s something, I’ve been aching To confess All of this mess is All It’s all of Ours I’m just one, but I’m trying And I’m needing, your good help So please show me, the way back to To remind them All of this mess Is All It’s all ours Too late some say, but I say never Easy escape, won’t work This time What did you expect, who did you think Who to blame who to frame When this all this mess is All It’s all of ours

You woke up again With the world upon upon upon your shoulders What more will it take To shake to shake to shake to shale the weight? Come see, this whole thing is make belief Drink up and shut up You make things harder, harder on yourself This could be easy, so go easy on yourself See this could be ha this could be ha This could be ha this could be ha This could be harder So go easy on you You’ve got enough Worry worry worry for a million But who can be fed If you you’re lost you’re lost it cost a life gone Stand here Your head up is what we need So eat up and shut up You make things harder, harder on yourself This could be easy, so go easy on yourself This could be ha this could be ha This could be ha this could be ha This could be harder So go easy on you These struggles are the luxuries of ghosts They’d revive to have a chance at pains we boast The paradox of our illusions It buries us self made conclusions Their prayer is our nightmare Our dreams are beyond so see on and live on You make things harder, harder on yourself This could be easy, so go easy on yourself See this could be ha this could be ha This could be ha this could be ha This could be harder So go easy on you

All these thoughts compiled inside of my head Get em out of my head Wouldn’t it be just grand to stand up instead Getting fed up Courage takes courage you know Own own own it What am I waiting for? Nothing to lose only some to save All these voices pounding up inside of me Years found tears unsure of just quite how I was screaming help out I wanted to play hard but held back by doubt Just fucking shout it Courage takes courage I know Own own own it What are you waiting for? Nothing to lose only some to save All these voices pounding up inside of me All these voices all these voiceless Courage takes courage and so Own own own it What are we waiting for?

Breath So we can keep on breathing Seen I’ve seen how you are bleeding Holy holy mother sold we Pinned her to the cross We cold We owe owe owe This world is on fire Here’s a glimpse of goodbye As we walk this fine wire Throw your matches to the sidelines Can we hold hold hold This softly this lovingly Deed We’ve done it without feeling Lean Now I’m here for you to reason Slowly slowly smothered coles we Steal the last then dig our holes we Owe owe This world is on fire Here’s a glimpse of goodbye As we walk this fine wire Throw your matches to the sidelines Can we hold hold hold This Softly this lovingly This is our our only Last chance out, same old story What will it take, for heavens sake Save This world is on fire Here’s a glimpse of goodbye As we walk this fine wire Throw your matches to the sidelines Can we hold hold hold This Softly this lovingly

Now 03:31
Put it on the to do list Just put it off to the side You know one day I’ll get around to it When the more pressing subside What can be more enticing? This life line (No more fucking around) Now now no more tomorrow Now gone gone yesterday Can’t bring back what was given Long given way to the ash Now buried way with the others But now we all dwindle fast What could be more important This life time (No more fucking around) Now now no more tomorrow Now gone gone yesterday This is an emergency Take it off the back burner Tear off your blind fold Tomorrow’s growing old Together we, we face the feat Turn down the heat To make room for another Now now now is the only Now gone gone yesterday

Servant 02:54
I’m on the prowl Something has got to ought to give in now This is it I live completely indiscreetly to fulfill I’m at your mercy hail mercy Here I am now take me quickly I am thirsty Take me passion I’m your servant Let me serve you Won’t you take me take me take I’ll take you (It’s not that I’m complicated So much that I am waiting For the next kill I’ll take it all I will) Complications Arise when I am without inspiration Just give me a little I’ll take it in and turn it round to triple Things will get dirty so dirty If I’m left waiting here too long for your delivery Take me passion I’m your servant Let me serve you Won’t you take me take me take I’ll take you (It’s not that I’m complicated So much that I am waiting For the next kill I’ll take it all I will) How could I turn down the heat If I was born to dig deep in deep in Yeah open me wider up I’m a vehicle for tornado A container for more soul (Give me soul) Take me passion I’m your servant Let me serve you Won’t you take me take me take I’ll take you (It’s not that I’m complicated So much that I am waiting For the next kill I’ll take it all I will)

Easy Love 03:38
Up against the wall You stand amongst a world Immersed in chaos chaos You golden hearted Cling to cling we dig through everything To find a kind of simple savior You’re our savior You are Easy love You’re easy to love, easy to love You’re, you’re easy love easy to love You’re easy to love In a not all easy world Rare to find a one so kind Whose gentle pry the last remaining Hopeful you’re our hoped for hearted Far so far the only ones who make some sense Whose silence silences complex surroundings You are Easy love You’re easy to love, easy to love You’re, you’re easy love easy to love You’re easy to love In a not all easy world Language needs no words Without boundaries we’re We are bound beyond explanation You’re my anchor me, we are anchored we By one of the only Easy love You’re easy to love, easy to love You’re, you’re easy love easy to love You’re easy to love In a not all easy world

There you go You’ve got your mind made up up up I see you’ve figured me out Haven’t you haven’t you Well if this is what it looks like On the outside to you Well then I wonder what it feels like On the inside of that view Drop the mirror and just drop into me All wrong all wrong all wrong misunderstand Turn me inside out I’m within not without And oh this heart is good All along all along all along misunderstood Oh cause I see you too, you are scrambling through And oh you’re heart is good All I know is I can never quite know no Who is living on the inside Inside of you side of you So much ease to make up, what make up the parts of you But I would rather tear the walls the down And would rather you did too Broken mirrors they’re breaking into me All wrong all wrong all wrong misunderstand Turn me inside out I’m within not without And oh this heart is good All along all along all along misunderstood Oh cause I see you too you are scrambling through And oh you’re heart is good You don’t even know me, you like to think you do You claim to know something about me You wish you could, don’t you wish you could Lets start here start with you Before all these assumptions turn round and they just fuckin bite you All wrong all wrong all wrong misunderstand Turn me inside out I’m within not without And oh this heart is good All along all along all along misunderstood Oh cause I see you too you are scrambling through And oh you’re heart is good

We Animals 04:49
Is there a distinction, between me and you Where is that space from, how did it come to What is the difference, how does it taste To be so far removed from, the original grace What we cannot hear Is not ours to not be heard Listen listen to the The mother tongue does not lie Animals we’re animals Don’t you forget it Animals we’re animals Lest we forget it When did we lose sight of, the beginning was ours It made us and tied us, to a million chords Between the hearts of, the beasts of our wild When did we decide to, divide What we cannot feel Is not ours to not be felt Feel it feel it so the Mother tongue will not die Animals we’re animals Don’t you forget it Animals we’re animals Lest we forget it Their eyes, Blood lines Take care, Holy Mother to mother pain to pain Cannot fathom where all this disconnect came The voiceless our children the heat of our veins All bleed the same, remember our name Animals we’re animals Don’t you forget it Animals we’re animals Lest we forget it

about

WE.ANIMALS. is a concept album about the interconnectedness of all life, including our Earth. It is a call to action, it is a plea, it is a lullaby, it is a love story between my heart and all creatures everywhere. Including you.

"we're animals lest we forget it"

Produced by Daniel Garcia and myself in a small cabin studio in the Santa Cruz mountains.
