Machine Wash 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Machine wash yourself with like colors Anything different will bleed They gather in packs of hateful brothers Insecurity thrives underneath If you cut any animal’s skin it screams red What will your hate ever fix? Shadows and ghosts will never be dead It will all wash out in the mix Machine Wash, Machine Wash The world is pure color We need to get along with each other Come wage heavy peace not war Forgiveness means a lot more They shout racist taunts on the street in the capital Voices scream louder in numbers Their nationalistic rituals are sickening and irrational In solidarity we can outnumber Check your privilege and stay humble this is not a race They want to make you mad So just keep your cool; hate doesn’t fix hate Supremacist viewpoints are always bad Machine Wash, Machine Wash The world is pure color We need to get along with each other Come wage heavy peace not war Forgiveness means a lot more

Good Stuff 03:08
lyrics

I don’t have the energy to go to all your shows when I never see you at mine I want to stay home, cuddle my wife and pets, make art and drink wine I’ve spent too many years stressing out that I haven’t done enough The only thing that matters when all is said and done is that you act out of love Give me some of that good stuff It’s much better when we treat each other with love Give me some of that good stuff There’s always someone else who has it so much more tough Instead of dishing me another fake smile or false lines to buy into your shit Why don’t you reach through the sea of information overload and be real; I’ll respect you for it I’m cool with coming last in every popularity contest; I’d rather have a true conversation It’s not a sad excuse to stay home if you’re not feeling it; it’s being honest about your situation Give me some of that good stuff It’s much better when we treat each other with love Give me some of that good stuff There’s always someone else who has it so much more tough

Coalesce 02:10
lyrics

You can never really guess what’s going on in someone’s head You’ll never know what they’ll say of you when you’re dead I always worry too much about what everybody thinks I have a general perception that people say I stink I look away because I’m nervous I’m scared to see your lip service Please talk to me ‘cause I’m a mess It’ll help me to somehow coalesce My horoscope is telling me bad news almost every day It’s a battle to keep all the negative thoughts at bay There’s always another issues that’s set to blow up in my face I don’t know how to stop worrying I need a safe place I look away because I’m nervous I’m scared to see your lip service Please talk to me ‘cause I’m a mess It’ll help me to somehow coalesce

Market This 03:13
lyrics
buy track
I can only earn money if it’s sanctioned by a man No music licensing for me unless there’s a dude in the band Almost every pitch I see will only accept a male voice When I’ve pushed the issue it’s mansplained to me there’s no other choice I’m calling all women to jump on the ceiling until it falls Follow your heart make what you want don’t be afraid to walk tall Market this Market this Market this Market this There’s a musical mold for over emotional women Weak, vulnerable and crumbling down is the only way to fit in Or it’s the reverse with an over enthusiastic girl power pitch Or a male sexual fantasy focused on ass, lips, hips and tits We all need to keep making art that’s different and unique Soon enough we will all prosper with the ceiling beneath our feet Market this Market this Market this Market this Turn the mold on it’s head Set women’s voices free I don’t care what she said I’m talking about equality

Lonely Shark 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I feel so alone in the ocean these days My home has changed in so many ways I’m working up a sweat trying to find food All I see is more sand in the big, wide blue There’s so much sickness erupting in the sea Life is struggling; in some spots you can’t breathe I hold my gills together and try to keep swimming Even though every last light in my home is dimming I’m a lonely shark Don’t keep me in the dark I’m a lonely shark I’m lonely The starfish are all dying due to the new heat Prozac for the gulf shrimp; now it’s death they greet Fukishima, agriculture destroy the ocean’s reproduction Oil spills, sewerage and trash are all causing destruction I used to have so much more to eat The ocean’s turning into a desert; the future looks bleak I’ll keep swimming north to try and find the lost currents It gets harder every year in the plastic torrents The oceans are dying We can’t keep surviving If we don’t start changing They’ll be no life remaining

Anchor 03:35
lyrics

If I took on board all the negativity people have thrown at me I’d be sunk at the shore, shipwrecked and I’d never make it out to sea I’m a crustacean with invisible skin encasing my glistening bones I’ve swum out past the breakers and I’m out here on my own I won’t take on board what the haters say I can always jump ship and sail away I won’t throw an anchor into my gloom My compass will shine under my true moon The map that holds my treasure is filled with ugly beasts I’m on the ocean floor, it’s rough and I’m gripping with my teeth I struggle alone in silence; my own beacon in many storms I know I can pull myself ashore I just need the strength to transform I won’t take on board what the haters say I can always jump ship and sail away I won’t throw an anchor into my gloom My compass will shine under my true moon I’m always changing Constantly rearranging I’m always changing Forever exchanging

Disarm Your Hatred 05:07
lyrics

Kids are lying on the ground in protest People amass guns like it’s a contest How many more lives need to be stolen? How many more families need to be broken? The second amendment was written in 1791 Since then a lot has changed in the land of guns These kids are so brave to stand their ground Hopefully this time the rich men will come around Disarm Disarm Diasarm Your hatred You have the right to disarm your hatred The pro gun arguments are more than just dated You have the right to question the law Ending gun violence is what we’re fighting for Imagine living in a country with less fear Where gun violence deaths don’t increase every year People with guns haven’t helped in any assassination Rich men get richer from the National Rifle Association Practicing for violence shouldn’t be anyone’s hobby Putting guns in the hands of the mentally impaired is no reason to lobby The kids are standing up to this money filled lunacy Money has made all the adults blind to all the lives lost so brutally Disarm Disarm Diasarm Your hatred You have the right to disarm your hatred The pro gun arguments are more than just dated You have the right to question the law Ending gun violence is what we’re fighting for We love you Emma Keep fighting the good fight We’ll solve this dilemma Poke the fat pigs all night all night Disarm Disarm Diasarm Your hatred You have the right to disarm your hatred The pro gun arguments are more than just dated You have the right to question the law Ending gun violence is what we’re fighting for

Criminal 05:23
lyrics
buy track
Too many people are incarcerated ooo For harmless crimes it makes me frustrated ooo Freedom is a lucrative industry ooo Most who enter will never be set free ooo How do we fix this? How do we fix this? You could be a criminal in the blink of an eye You could be a criminal and have nowhere to hide You could be a criminal with your value ascribed You could be a criminal and never get to go outside Too many inmates are people of color ooo Would it be the same if we were equal to each other? ooo So many suicides happen behind bars ooo Where was their help before they went that far ooo How do we fix this? How do we fix this? You could be a criminal in the blink of an eye You could be a criminal and have nowhere to hide You could be a criminal with your value ascribed You could be a criminal and never get to go outside Prisons are bad mental asylums ooo Once people get inside they can’t seem to revive ‘em ooo Lost souls out on the street who can’t catch a break ooo Mixed with souls who’ve made much more dangerous mistakes ooo

Non-Binary 02:44
lyrics

I feel awkward most times when I wear lipstick I often wish my upper arms were less thick My shoulders are a bit broader than normal I didn’t have a date at my high school formal I’m non-binary baby I don’t need to be a lady My masculinity’s hazy I’m non-binary baby I’ve never really felt a neat pocket to belong I’m always feeling awkward and a little wrong My gender identity is not clear when I wake up I do enjoy wearing a little bit of makeup It’m non-binary baby I don’t need to be a lady My masculinity’s hazy I’m non-binary baby I’m not 100% woman I’m not really a man I exist somewhere in the gray Wherever on the gender scale I land

Rich White Boys 04:49
lyrics
buy track
My heart’s been in my throat for the past few days; I feel like nothing is real I don’t know what happened when we parted ways; I don’t think it will be revealed I know in time the pain of the memory will fade; the uncertainty will go away We just have to be strong and walk out of the shade; it’s going to get better everyday Rich white boys and their toys Drugging women to give them choice Using aggression to force their point This isn’t healthy this is a disjoint I can’t ever get to sleep at a good time; but I could sleep all day I wish someone would be charged for the crime; we’re the only ones that paid The happiness we’ve lost can’t be replaced; it can only serve as a lesson Men cannot act this way what is wrong with them? My rage for their crimes will not lessen We as the prey are forced to practice safety We will not falter we face our threats bravely You do not frighten us the wrong lies with you We’ll keep showing your bad deeds to get through to you Rich white boys and their toys Drugging women to give them choice Using aggression to force their point This isn’t healthy this is a disjoint

Ghosts 03:35

I’m gonna miss the ghosts that live in our house The mom ghost likes to play with the smoke alarms I hope the new people don’t mind their company The young man in the basement is a bit grumpy They’ve been the ghosts with the most I’ve enjoyed sharing the space So here’s a toast to the ghosts The ghosts of this place Our dogs would sometimes bark at empty chairs I’m sure one of the ghosts was sitting in there I felt someone watching me while I was recording An invisible audience as company without warning They’ve been the ghosts with the most I’ve enjoyed sharing the space So here’s a toast to the ghosts The ghosts of this place Ghosts can be cool If you let them through Ghosts can be cool If you help them too They’ve been the ghosts with the most I’ve enjoyed sharing the space So here’s a toast to the ghosts The ghosts of this place

Alien Skin 02:22

I’m used to not quite fitting in I’m used to squashing in around the edges I’ve sunk pretty deep before I learned how to swim I’ve been lost heaps scrambling over hedges I’m always on the outside looking in I’m an alien with human skin I’m always on the outside looking in Swayin’ on the sidelines I’ll never fit in I get sidetracking on the odd road less travelled I’m a drifter committed to wherever I take up space I try to pick my feet up and not sink into the gravel I think I’m losing on behalf of the human race I’m always on the outside looking in I’m an alien with human skin I’m always on the outside looking in Swayin’ on the sidelines I’ll never fit in
