    *words in italics are my lines, everything else was done by a friend.*

    Running away from confinement and the
    locked steel door of a human bird cage.
    Physical freedom is much needed in this so
    called free country and I'll gladly sit on a fallen
    tree before a piss stained police mattress.

    Just call me river, 'cuz I just gotta
    run free, don't damn me, I'm a wild
    child livin' in a one horse broken back
    nothing town. To screw & neglect,
    beat and reject, all you do is
    bring us down...

    We're the energy rhythm that flows through
    all youth and a threatening image for old eyes.
    If I was sorry you'd know
    I'm not a drug and I'm not a thug
    I'm the moth craving light and the middle
    of a flight.
    Can you stop tapeing our mouths shut and start
    cracking minds instead of skulls?
    Handcuff yourself to me.
    after a couple weeks you'll see
    There's more to this defect than a
    bad up-bringing and old hippy singing.

    Tattooing a page with a word
    or words that were audibly blocked
    in my line of sight. oh,
    why
    do I feel such a confidence
    in rhymes?

    Volumes can be spoke
    about a man who
    refuses and chokes
    on the bloodline spittle,
    crawling like critters
    away from our seeds.

    Slide or slip or...yah know,
    into the bright calm after hillside
    evening glowness beautitude,
    we wish to exist so so
    continually, yah know...
    Just go with the skip along in
    these ever-so "yah know" going
    flows of timeline rivers.

    i'm not sure if its because i already knew that this was done by two of you or what but i can easily imagine this being put to music. it has got a really good flow to it.

    The two voices did give something extra to the cadence. Nice.
