LYRICS: MonkeyWrench: He flicked the light switch on for that familiar feelin wondered if it worked what that light would be revealin nothin pretty, layers of dust on the floor and the ceiling he found this old house abandoned so it wasn't really theiving plus anyone would do the same and every one did seniors looting grocery stores tryin to feed their grand kids "where's mommy n daddy?" child they're in a better place where their hummers still run and their warm and their safe amazing grace, he slept outside for twenty eight days and lately the cold pains had been reaching his cold veins stay sane, keep walkin, dont talk to the flames he stood there on the doorway of this house with no name red brick from the twenties, a vault of strange memories opened the rusted freezer but of course it was empty belly swollen like a charity ad, prepared to be dead no food in the house, he tried to eat the walls instead he found brick inedible he found brick inedible MT: with a red brick in his mouth, passed out, this sad drought was overtaking his entire civilization and while he lay motionless, saving his last breaths he recalled the steps that lead to this current devastation had a flashback to a time when he was younger when his eyes weren't full of fear and his stomach wasn't full of hunger to when the planet hadn't yet executed its revenge to when life was tough, but food was still abundant before karma kicked into effect to punish those who left this oasis wrecked to when the soil went barren and the people were left staring at their apparent new found impurities to when the corporations robbed the peasants of food security it was easy enough to do the blame got diffused luxury was entertaining so the people were amused they were living in empires of colonialist abuse industrial confusion, an act of their choosing they were living in denial of what their legacy was doing looking out for the self til they forgot about the collective thinking their species is forever resurrected the stakes were high, but the leaders were higher lovin the flame, getting closer n closer to the fire their desire to live the lifestyle of food chain's royalty made their king face the same fate, even he found brick inedible he found brick inedible MT: some survived this collapse, few saw it comin grew their own food, started huntin started to organize, disbanded their governments made real exactly what it is they wanted left behind memories of a haunted past of elites who possessed everything and flaunted their actions, that were Oh so regrettable as though they didn't realize that brick was inedible as though they planned on living eternally as criminals as though they couldn't disseminate earth's not so subliminal anger! a violent message sent so clear, tearing up every single town's airport hangars churning out all these concrete stranglers pulling the plug, destroying their oil tankers left them in the dark both the poor and the bankers became nomadic clans, species endangered with no fuels, left to fend for their selves they fought over canned foods that were left on the shelves they'd evolved into creatures with no mental wealth and now they'd dissolved into humble beings that learned to dwell and learned a tough lesson that was pivotal and yeah, they found brick inedible

Earth's Blood (free) 02:47
LYRICS: what goes around sure comes around comes around hard like Icarus hitting the ground call it karma call it physics action and reaction everything got its limits brother Icarus, who's your prophet? who's the one that will stand up to your impending apocalypse? is he wearing a white robe long hair and sandals or is he wearing a white lab coat and goggles who's your messiah? will she defend you through love or will he use fire? when its contagious love is quite the force before its too late love might cause us remorse for cancerous paths we've taken, for industrial course of events, awakened populous, 2012 a breathe of confidence a year that might be spiritually trans-formative like stop! remember the time when we were lions? before the bourgeois blues had us crying? before Mecca, Jerusalem, before Zion? before we predicted the future like Mayans? the warming sun might only burn up capitalist sinners and those without guilt might be the winners you know the humble rooted never polluted kids the ones that managed to stay off the grid Those with earth's blood in their veins might withstand the flood and its monstrous rains can we be their students, in their acts of resistance? let our souls take flight to higher forms of existence? can this move be distinguished? from cultural voyeurism bloated with privilege? living in the city feels lonely start seeking a real tribe like Mowgli's run away hide from Babylon's debris when it falls apart i hope it don't crush your tree mother nature is resilient ....or so we believe but just how resilient is she? she's not getting the respect she deserves and just like our women, we treat her like she's meant to serve what happens when this planet serves you? over-educated slightly medicated fools that love one another but choose to lose some of the others in the coming collapse of civilizations Those with earth's blood in their veins might withstand the flood and its monstrous rains

MT: on a land that aint mine, but sure as hell aint yours on a planet where we livin like we tourists with a destructive appetite cus we bored we come in hungry packs, zombie like hoards greetings! welcome to the planet ruled by swords ruled by pigs we call the police force civilians bullied around by gov't thug soldiers citizenship doesnt guarantee you living quarters so fight their guns, and jail cells that still closely resemble citadels arrive on soil that's supposedly free welcome to the land of the refugee on a rock blue n green in its essence in era not long from the present within borders heavily guarded by weapons and an economy fueled by prisons do you recognize that place that you live in? do you recognize that capitalist religion?

Dear Obedience (free) 03:09
LYRICS: Dear Obedience, sorry for shifting the power axis, but the people can no longer be bothered. You've become that senile father, and father-knows-best molestations have been unveiled for what they truly are. While trying to focus on being loyal, the peasants no longer knew what for they toiled, who they were focused for, nor on, nor can they tolerate your prisons and the syncopated rhythms of your smacks upside the heads, oppressing them with your jazz. For every mountain-top that stood unclaimed in you kingdom, there remained a freeborn that said NO! An anarchist that didn't want to blow things up, but did just so through her shear will to survive. Dear obedience, sorry for shifting the axis so far left, that you variables are no longer valid. they barely made sense to begin with. I cant help but hysterically laugh when you're interrupted mid sentence. You and the academy have conspired for long enough, too many child labourers have paid for you yachts. too few dreams got to see daylight. too many recycled plastic filtered water bottles have cooled you down on your daily morning jog. too many polished their boots and rifles. too many have lived in one collective consciousness called SIR YES SIR! Demolished houses, reclaimed mortgages, and broken homes had to make your numbers right. Even your rigid digits, so golden and theoretical, have mocked you by fluctuating un-explainably, as if to remind you that you won't be able to take them with you when you're gone. Dear Obedience, River Styx knows no math, no dollar signs, euros, yens, cowrie shells, forced work contracts. the stagnant breathing of a generation of disenchanted factory conveyor belt human slaves has aligned with the breathing of the moon, the heaving of the tides. The air pressure inside your steel mill hall has reached that unmistakable tipping point. The walls are about to pop like gum balloons that a child has stretched too thin. River styx knows no math, no dollar signs, euros, yens, cowrie shells... only consequence of action. cotton fields, cheap clothes, cheaper toys, pipelines, and cola. The mountain will still be there, the peasants will evolve. and you, Dear Obedience, will most definitely dissolve. DISSOLVE!

Freedom without free will: that's a moral mess to me hate bigots with a passion, but don't let it get the best of me and I can attest to be raising hell when I'm ancient, outlasting expectancy I'm well fed, well loved, rarely seen blood and my bond with my fam runs deeper than a well does radical parents who'd be sure to always tell us don't trust the corporations, or what the try to sell us Wanna go back in time, 15 year, congratulate 'em when they threw out the TV, said "use your imagination" no need for a car, we biked everywhere instead so I know I've been bread to fight for the forgotten and dead that said, I've got that privilege, it's easy to forget it first world luxuries, eternally dependent on pendents, with blood diamonds, I'm rhyming to end it I don't care 'bout your timing, I care 'bout if you meant it Incentives to rhyme doper: that's what MT provides and besides that, there's live rap each time we collide rocked a stage in Steel City, prolly left people stunned but now it's half past July and the album is done.

The Concept of Love (free) 03:23
LYRICS: i dedicate this to women, the most powerful individuals on this planet the ones that brought us here, and taught us the concept of love this is more than a song this is an apology this is not tokenistic, this is from the heart and its the least i can do how ironically staged is our brave human gaze into the sky as we challenge the gods each day but sadly to our own dismay, the same mistakes are made... still live in fear of our selves so at night we pray lord lord chillin' up in space! the roses you left were beautiful the thorns on them were somewhat disputable we're not sure why we're abusive, we're not sure what the problem is...we men... (interrupted by old man): "Lord all mighty, play the music!" OK the reasons we're here are still unknown the planets over populated but we still feel alone universal love truth escapes the old n youths life is a blessing that we made uncouth cold shoulders to the source we came from the rock we inhabit our own mothers we damage we need to respect the feminine divine goddess for the castle's sake we've poisoned the harvest for the king's pleasure we sacrifice our daughters and of the ugliest violence they're the first target the HER from which we all started from which we departed while she silently triumphed yet we shoot her with our bullets n strangle her with science her will is strong, yearning for release she fights for bread crumbs while her people feast she fights for bread crumbs while her people feast yeah we're still not sure what the problem is we're so clueless listen if you're a man if you really are a masculine man you need to check your ego and confront your privilege mmhm men like me need to tread carefully to learn from history's books mmhm learn how to show love learn how to speak recognized how women are overlooked mmmhm for once shut up and listen so we could all possibly learn from them mmmhm dont tell me we're all already equal! come on! whats wrong with your cerebral!? "understand the concept of love!" i think you need to, i think you need to "understand the concept of love!" we could move forward if you could just "understand the concept of love!" its not romantic, its respect "understand the concept of love!" learn to love "understand the concept of love!" we could heal only if men could "understand the concept of love!" put your ego behind and just "understand the concept of love!" understand where you came from fool! "understand the concept of love!" its all so complex, but its also simple it starts with us. Men. its starts with our language it starts with our ego, its starts with our misconceptions of women. we need to challenge that. and a song isn`t what you need to listen to. its your heart.

"When we speak of the word fragment, we know that we're talking about a piece, that has been broken away from something that was whole. it's not the whole piece, but its only a fraction, from something that was whole" (Reverend F.L.
