Ms. Information (new lyrics)
“Ms. Information” Miss information Won the pageant once again… Such a lovely travesty… It’s like watching a train wreck For infinity… You just can’t look away Cause your addicted To the scent of anxiety… Miss information She walks with those in need… Of a fix for agency… They pull the wool Over the head of society… And…

Seclusion
“Seclusion” Blindfolded merchants Pour gallons of sadness Into oceans Praying for tide… To come and wash Their sins and cleanse Their minds… Loosening knots of confusion Fastened around thoughts Once believed lost to time… Innocence sometimes knows better Than to abide by the rules Set by those not worthy Of youth’s…

Galaxies
“Galaxies” I would swim the length of galaxies To reach a shore of understanding… To find a place where fear is caged And difference celebrated… No longer used as fuel for hate and lies… There’s no time like right now Tomorrow’s anything but given… There’s no time like right now Futures live in suspension… Until we act…

Ask me ANYTHING AT ALL. If you doubt me, challenge me...Please.
I've made some very bold and wild statements. It is important to me that they are understood to be fact. Because they are. I've been trying to get this started all my life. I feel like I just lit the most important fire of all time, I feel like a couple people walked up and looked at it, and were like, "Yah right. What a…

Response
Liberty's hands are cracked from pulling air. They gossip that she's a bully, as if pulling towards Liberty is a crime. Who are they? Lady Liberty's sword is broken, but she believes in Santa Claus. She is the first to see the sun and the storms, and she knows things. When she walks on water no one is scared. In the…

Global Citizen
Imagine a band of global citizens, that was given to fly, Way up high in the sky over central Park NY. Singing songs of redemption for the elderly woman and her daughter just sitting in the park, minding their manners. When from behind a cloak, tribocharged as a lightning bolt sprang the Pope. Feeling saucy and alive…
