INTRO I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, EVEN WHEN YOU WEST VIRGINIA, OHIO, WASHINGTON D.C., NEW HAMPSHIRE, MARYLAND TOP 5 STATES RANKED IN 2017 LINKED TO OVERDOSES DUE TO OPIOID ABUSE MILITARY SUICIDE RATES REACH AN ALL TIME HIGH IN 2018 WITH THE NATIONAL GUARD RANKING AMONGST THE HIGHEST OF THE BRANCHES. IN 2006 THE RATE OF INCARCERATED AMERICANS WAS 1 IN 32 ADULTS. IN 1980 THERE WAS LESS THAN 2 MILLION INCARCERATED AMERICANS. IN THE EARLY 2000S THOSE NUMBERS BROKE 7 MILLION. STATISTICALLY SPEAKING THE CAUSES ARE LINKED DIRECTLY TO LONGER PRISON SENTENCES AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF IMPRISONMENT. MEANING THE CREATION OF NEW LAWS AND THE OVER ENFORCEMENT OF THEM. THE WAR ON DRUGS IS A HUGE FACTOR IN THIS. WHICH ALL LINKED TO THE INCREASE IN THE PRIVATIZATION OF THE PRISON SYSTEM. THUSLY CREATING A CORPORATION THAT CREATES PROFIT OFF OF INCARCERATION. THE STORAGE OF HUMANS BECOMES A BUSINESS IN THE EARLY 1980S, AND LEADS TO A QUADRUPLING OF IMPRISONMENT IN AMERICA.

She called you Samson, you forgot your readings forgot you readings, forgot your readings As she double talked, laid you to rest Laid you to rest in her lap, laid you to rest in her lap You dreamt this was all that you needed all that you needed, all that you needed Those who remain to tell sing our songs of lost love As we try to forget the day the morning never came You didn't just die, I ended you I ended you, I ended you I moved on before you could, and denied you denied you, denied you My affection that kept you upright kept you upright, kept you upright CHORUS I grew uptight and took control took control, took control When I stopped walking I was out of you out of you, out of you Your life ended with those slow steps those slow steps, those slow steps

This world keeps moving forward Now I'm sober I move on my own time I drive my truck not just for this weather Wyoming you are my friend Wyoming how the world used to live Clown tears no one wants to see They taste bitter just like yours Guns and girls ain't for collecting CHORUS Spendin time with me is that bad crowd Highway rides measured by the empties Trunk full of coolers with glass jars CHORUS Pool tables and bad mouths Whiskey bottles, tequila shots, cash tips Make these stories last cause this ain't working no more CHORUS

Pathetic Fallacy Poetic resonance A waiting game called life Paint it red no paint it black Jump and fall in Dive Rip it from their teeth So tongue in cheek Ye hellions stalk the night Shadow the facade CHORUS The night sky is all red and blue. The cuffs rung tight. My artist license sits one out. And my head vibrates. If I hadn't run you off. Would I have ever slowed down? Jump and fall in, dive.

Mattress in the center of the room, rose pedals under the sheets. Turn the cutting board over, upside down for this operation. And don't let the dog taste this cut, highest endeavor fine sedate. Don't dispute the control you lust, love like this. In a trance Jack and MicKey made Those little pills and orange crush Jack and MicKey don't live here No more Blood red passion purple finger prints, with a scent soliloquy sentencing. Turned to rose pedals and rye, knots for your wrists your insides calm. Honey bee snake oil in a brown square, flood rush and take over dormant. Vines grow your dress on my floor, opium engulf. CHORUS

I wanted someone who would draw the sun When the clouds got in the way Dye the sky when the world looks grey Turn my grey into great Lullabys and sock puppets. Starry nights and fright from Thunder and not the light You're an angel and an artist Adventures by the dozens Colors all around you today as always Reopen my story CHORUS Music hums faith is endlessly powerful Grace gifted you unto me and this Earth Both are better now with you Lighten the dark skies
7.
Put your hands up and give me your heart Loved you since I first saw you Put your hands up and give me your heart Put your hands up and give me your heart Held my hand I knew it was you With you curly red hair and your blue eyes Love for art and a fire for life CHORUS Led the way through the forest The thrill of adventure and hiking for life I'd cross a creek and camp near The water with you

about

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
Let no substance free you from reality. -Psalms

No man is an Island, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. - John Donne
