Poet Introduction
I am what you see. For all you will ever know is what you can see.
We
Why don't you understand
that when you told me we could not be
I did not want to regurgitate we
it's the we, we can never be
not until you decide to let us be
but then, it will be too late
for I am already less we
then I started

Band Aid
Don't you cut me
and attempt to bleed FOR me
You can't take away
my natural ability to react physically
So why do you even THINK
you can do this psychologically?
Hand me the fucking band aid
I can put it on myself
and attempt to bleed FOR me
You can't take away
my natural ability to react physically
So why do you even THINK
you can do this psychologically?
Hand me the fucking band aid
I can put it on myself

Humans

HUMANS
How sad it is to understand
WE are the disharmony in this land
nature is violent, it is true
but, only to purpose
in a sustainable cycle
quite unlike we do
For we take
But, we do not receive
we demand
But, we do not understand
we accept
But, we do not forgive
we get
but, we do not give
So, sorry
Was that your child
I just ate?

Me
INsane are we
InSane we are
can't you see?
you can't see me?
you can only see you in me
So, when you hurt me
tear me down
destroy my faith in you
you did it first to you
I can only see me in you
And so you see
alien are we
all alone
yet right next to me
and when I look
what do I see?
Me.

I Am No God To You
Tell me faithful
the real of you
don't hold back the true
for I won't judge
I promise you
I am no God to you
the real of you
don't hold back the true
for I won't judge
I promise you
I am no God to you

PlEase
PlEase me
watch me
plEase myself
plEase you
Ever occur to you before?
how ease is most of PlEase?

Talk Hard
Talk hard
tell it real
verbal tongue play
of what you feel
Declaim your intent
say what you must say
communicate
don't bray
this instant relay
I do pray
tell it real
verbal tongue play
of what you feel
Declaim your intent
say what you must say
communicate
don't bray
this instant relay
I do pray

Gives You Ease
blame me
please
tell me exactly how
I am responsible
gives you ease
and yet
you still have the disease
point your fingers
please
tell me not to linger
I am no beginner
gives you moral lease
and yet
you are still a disease
please
tell me exactly how
I am responsible
gives you ease
and yet
you still have the disease
point your fingers
please
tell me not to linger
I am no beginner
gives you moral lease
and yet
you are still a disease

You Are Human Too
Don't you see what havoc is wreaked?
Can't you see how this undermines the link?
Actions speak true
Go ahead blame me
quite convenient way to be
yet, for each finger you point at me
three point back at you
Actions speak the truth of you to me
What is love?
Baby don't hurt me
but what do I do
when you are intent on hurting you?
Actions speak the truth of me to you
Rend this flesh in two
tear your heart through
because you aren't good enough for you
how silly of you
didn't you know?
you are human too...

Ecstasy
Close the door
check the blinds
can you see me?
in my room
my door shut, locked
do I dare to drop
my top
can you see me?!
undoing my bra is ecstasy

Perspective of We
Isn't it funny, what we see...
the ever changing perspective of we
this is why we call it empathy
for you truly can not be me
we just do not have the same chemistry

Waves
Obsessed with waves are we
it's a wonder to me
how we stumble around
radiating energy
which we never do see
