Lyrics to Do Not Resuscitate

So I've taken the time to write out the lyrics to DNR for a recent magazine inquiry, and thought that since that's all taken care of, that I'd share that with y'all!

Enjoy!

Cool Kids and Short Kids

Look at the day, what do you say
We can go out to play
Hey,ho, what do you know
Everyone says I’m just like Mo
Just like Mo


You’ve got some real attitude for such a short kid (x2)
Your mom should be real proud of you for such a short kid
Your mom should be real proud of you for such a tough guy
For such a tough guy

What a surprise, look at your eyes
I can see all your lies
Where have you been, this is the end
You cannot be my friend
You cannot be my friend anymore
You, you cannot be my friend


You’ve got some real attitude for such a short kid (x2)
Your mom should be real proud of you for such a short kid
Your mom should be real proud of you for such a tough guy
For such a tough guy

You’ve got some real attitude for such a short kid (x2)
Your mom should be real proud of you for such a short kid
Your mom should be real proud of you for such a tough guy
For such a tough guy

Dedication

Face my demise in an otherwise tragic state
Bracing everything for the fall
There is no reason now to be afraid
At least as far as I know
What do I know?




Leave me to my own kingdom
Leave me to my own throne
Leave me to my own judgment
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Sitting on the rooftop of your wild imagination
Still no one knows what to say
Still no one knows what you did

Leave me to my own kingdom
Leave me to my own throne
Leave me to my own judgment
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Look at my face, do I seem very happy?
It’s your fault I feel this way
Every blade you dug into me
Will be your fate
It’s not ok
It’s not ok
It’s not ok


St. Francis of Assisi

Stop speaking to me
Stop knowing anything that you pretend to believe
Stop saying anything
Stop speaking to me

Assisi’s walking
Assisi drifts in a deep sleep
Assisi’s drifting
Assisi walks in a deep sleep

Dad I’m dead
I wish that you could see me
You could see me



I cannot explain myself
I cannot relate with you
There is nothing that I see that means anything
Means anything
I cannot explain myself
I cannot relate with you
There is nothing that I see that means anything
Means anything

Stop speaking to me
Stop knowing anything that you pretend to believe
Stop saying anything
Stop speaking to me

Dad I’m dead
I wish that you could see me
You could see me



I cannot explain myself
I cannot relate with you
There is nothing that I see that means anything
Means anything
I cannot explain myself
I cannot relate with you
There is nothing that I see that means anything
Means anything

Emotion

Don’t desert me in a water ridden desecrated land
I never meant to give my soul to all the whores that left me dead
All this poison, all this phosphorus will surely be my end
But I won’t stop until you’re all I have
‘Til all I have is you

Emotion is devotion
Emotion is my only hope
Emotion is devotion
Emotion is devotion
Emotion is my only hope

Separated I can see myself progressing for the worse
I’m so ashamed to say I can’t avoid this everlasting curse
Please forgive me, please be merciful
It’s not enough to blame
Disappointed so distracted still to find you’re near to me

Emotion is devotion
Emotion is my only hope
Emotion is devotion
Emotion is devotion
Emotion is my only hope

Baptismal Fount

Baptized by gunfire, they will tell me my name
Ten faces won’t see it
It’s not polite to stare

Lead me under fresh water
Lead me under the fire
Lead me under fresh water
Lead me under the fire

Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short
Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short
Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short
Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short

Baptized by gunfire, I’ll be the judge of that
Ten faces won’t see you
They’re looking out for me

Lead me under fresh water
Lead me under the fire
Lead me under fresh water
Lead me under the fire

Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short
Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short
Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short
Don’t humor me, Don’t sell me short


Feelings and Truth

The sky is blue, it must be you
‘Cause when it rains, who’s to blame
The sky is blue, that’s no news
‘Cause when it rains, it’s all in vane

Feelings always change
They drift through pouring rain
Feelings always change
Feelings never lie

The sky is gray, no other way
The sun comes out, there’s only drought
I’m afraid to see a day
When the sun comes out, and removes all doubt

Feelings always change
They drift through pouring rain
Feelings always change
Feelings never lie

The sky is blue
The sky is grey

Double Negative

I’ve seen my salvation
Salvation is mine
No longer shall I long
For any other

Impale my skin, right through the heart
It’s taken me over
Awwww

I’ve seen my redemption
Redemption is mine
No longer shall I die
Like all the others

Impale my skin, right through the heart
It’s taken me over
Awwww

The Substance vs The Shadow: Covenants Old and New

Image
Hebrews is making a comparison from chapters 7-11 that the difference between shadows and the substance. The law of Moses is not the substance of the Law. It is the Shadow.   Recently, I’ve been really taking on this issue of Hebrew Roots when it comes to the Christian faith and its relationship to the origins of the biblical tradition. It seems the whole world is coming to a head with its relationship with God, with who is or is not “Gods chosen people”, with statehood, history and culture. I think no issue more outlines the real heart of the problem than the difference in the threads of thought that separated the Jewish people from the Christians starting with the earliest records surrounding the ideas and problems facing those communities back then and there in ancient first century Judea. While there’s a whole library of information we could cover on this, I can address at a later time, at this moment, I’m really only writing to answer two questions a Hebrew Roots rabbi fri...

Album Release Set; Poll on Facebook; X Fest Recap

Happy Thor's Day folks (.... just kidding... you see what I did there? I called the fifth day, Thor's day... because that's what Thursday means..... which should tell you everything you need to know about the days of the week....), Just thought I'd send a quick follow up about X Fest NW, and what's on the horizon for the coming fall season. I hope anyone that is on the East Coast facing Hurricane Florence is getting out of the way to a safe place! Advisories are now saying to evacuate, so get the heck outta there! X Fest NW was now a week and a half ago now, and we're still reeling. It was such a great time! Amazing talent, and great people! Had some great dialog with friends we made last year, and a fun time performing. Had a rough time with the footage though, and for some reason the mix I got from the board to my laptop didn't get any signal, so we're without a good recording of the sound.... But I think we got enough to at least ...
