Dan Peters:

How did we get so used to empty?
the tv seems so friendly
the buildings and the boxes
tunnel vision and every “ism”
why isn’t the moment enough?
why do we need all this goddamn stuff?
i don’t wanna be an alien, no,
i don’t wanna be a tourist,
i don’t want to inhale or have to drink something
just to feel alive
one eye sees the darkness, one sees light

Zack de la Rouda:

i’m inconsistent with it
third eye splits my vision
tapped between the rocks and the rivers and the system
track progress with an asterisk
moving backwards half the time
acting happy but i’m actually out my mind
tryna find a way to combine all these opposing ideals
i’m tryna be the change i wanna see but still just chill
i don’t know if i should watch my weight or pop a pill
if it’s hell or its heaven that we’re in what’s the deal
after working all day i’m very close to the end of my rope
frayed knot tied up and i choke
puff smoke get drunk stay numb
try not to crash
one question that i wonder though
i have to ask

Zack de la Rouda:

something like janus with the madness
i see the future and the past, feel it like an actress
healing like a shaman, speaking to the masses
said we don’t need possessions like lennon
imagine
i brandish the microphone like hamilton
shout out to lin-manuel miranda, i’m a fan of him
i view it from a vantage
perspective with compassion,
zoom in with the lenses
see it clearly like i wear a pair of glasses
teaching classes
giving knowledge, always learning more academics
i’m a diamond in the rough lookin polished
climb to the top and then shout to the bottom
that the mountain is a mirage - honest - promise - ponder
