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

Sober Joe - Clown Tears
03:38
|
|||
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

Sober Joe - Hands Up
03:44
|
|||
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

10four10 Casper, Wyoming
Casper, WYO post-grunge, alternative rock band. With sounds reminiscent of Nirvana, Social Distortion, Sparta and Seether era, rock mixed with contemporary sounds and lyrics leaning into Volbeat, The Glorious Sons & Queens of the Stoneage. Heartfelt, deep lyrics over top of well-built music and steady rhythms generate an intense personal occasion when 10four10 gets on stage or in your head. ... more
