The Great Unscene of 1999

Botch: 'C. Thomas Howell as "The Soul Man"'

Stop the show
Listen up
We've got something to say and it's important
Can't hear the words you say
Or the notes you play
And you're not changing the world
Just a few more moments of your time
Just a few more moments, while I speak
So we can change your mind
We're all breaking ground
Bringing the revolution around
Support this support that once again
It's all an act
Wasting our time on you stop
Support this support that once again
It's all an act
The worst music I've ever heard
Honesty that touches a nerve
The words fall onto the floor
Drive home with no lessons learned
Soon the content outweighs the form
With time, the sounds get boring
For you and me, this posture is self-serving


Coalesce: 'Sometimes Selling Out is Waking Up'

We take ourselves too seriously. We sneak as may
politics as we can. But, who will be the last to
realize that sometimes selling out is waking up? So,
here we are, two different walks of life crossed once
before. And, it still takes a thousand miles to
co-exist. We are the same, just trying to exist. If
rewritten pamphlets is the best clarity can provide,
then you need one (a drink) worse than me. Being
delusional, well, that's a whole new bag and it's
fine. It's fine with everyone until you touch them.
(nothing is said no matter how angry or impassioned it
may seem) and when they finally had enough, they
leave. They leave in fear. Your legacy will forever be
self-righteous and violence against your own. Against
your own. They can candy-coat their hardline roots all
they want, but, I've seen the tapes. Don't ever let
those clowns define you. We take ourselves too
seriously. We never leave our politics at home and
just live. There will always be some struggle. Well,
sometimes selling out is waking up.
