‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i: Noho ana ke akua I ka nāhelehele i ʻālai ʻia e ke kīʻohuʻohu e ka ua koko e nā kino malu i ka lani malu e hoe e hoʻoulu mai ana o Laka i kōna mau kahu O mākou, o mākou, o mākou no ā. English Translation: The god dwells in the thick vegetation That is hidden by the low lying mists and the low lying rainbow O beings sheltered in the heavens, sheltered continuously Laka will confer growth on her caretakers It is we, it is we, it is we indeed!

Hold the hand of the dying, you will feel your life Hold the hand of the living, you will feel your death Hold the hand of the sky, you will feel the earth Hold the hand of the sea, you will feel free

This porch I'm on right now is all mine And I'm filled with cherry smoke Adorned in ash and completely incoherent Yeah, its just like how I dreamed it. And all I want is a field of grass. So high, that nobody could pass. And the sun's so low, that I pay taxes on it. But live like I don't want it. Cause I don't need to tell everyone, everything. Sometimes, sometimes... My mouth gets a little untied. (Sometimes...) Right now this porch I'm on is all mine. My friends inside the deep deep heat. Can these structures ever unwind? Their holding everything all the time... Sometimes, this porch is all mine Sometimes, it belongs to you...

Decode Decode Decode The core of the earth will not scan our names The core of the earth will not track our numbers Decode Decode Decode We are not biometrics We are biomes We are not biometrics We are biomes We are an ecosystem of TRANSversing networks Traceless mutants Cross pollinating seeds Deleting monocrops Regenerating microbes Adaptogens of perennial species Cultivating forsaken spores Echolocations of spliced scum Ciphering grids Biomimetic terratoids Swarming to the center Tracing pathways Where our hearts freely pulsate And our lungs expand to realms Where our webs intertwine Where our webs intertwine Where our webs intertwine

Ancient sarcophagus desecrated Left a curse among us aggravated I can't believe that you set me free The world is filled with my disease You walk by the woods and you kill the trees I walked right by you and killed the weak I've opened up my eyes So don't look so surprised The contract you have signed Has sentenced you to die Sinful greed shown in action Subtracted masses from the fraction No remorse or hospitality gore galore or more fatalities Chills that shake you to the Bone The sweat drips down and you feel cold Agonizing screams that you can't hold Pestilence is in your fucking home credits

Killing kids abroad by the orders of a fascist Those with the money think it's fantastic People like me and people like you Run from bombs like its a normal thing to do The war is at home and the enemy is poverty They say, “It’s a part of good ‘ol US Democracy” Millions die every day from a broken system While the rulers laugh at their fallen kingdom Fight to overpower Fight to survive Fight for a better world End the capitalist suicide Workers fighting for their rights at home Get crushed under the weight of a pig’s boot People like me and people like you Just wanting some basic human decency The war is at home and the enemy is poverty They say, “It’s a part of good ‘ol US Democracy” Millions die every day from a broken system While the rulers laugh at their fallen kingdom Fight to overpower Fight to survive Fight for a better world End the capitalist suicide Our fight is against the hoarders of capital Not those who live in a foreign capitol It’s time that we end those full of greed A world controlled by the people is what we need Fight to overpower Fight to survive Fight for a better world End the capitalist suicide Fight, fight, fight, fight Because imperialism in its very essence is what transforms men into beasts. It’s what transforms men into blood-thirsty beasts, ready to slit people’s throats, to assassinate and destroy every last image of a revolutionary or a supporter of a regime who had fallen under its boot. Or who had been fighting for his freedom.
