....Words and music by Katisse

Isolated and sliced a vein cuz I had waited and made is plain
that all I do is seek the truth the blood should flow from me to
you
not an isolated incident caught and annihilated the dissident
Fought those wrought with discipline Sought those thoughts we
visited Columbine and those who followed them invisible rules
and fools that swallowed them over the counter violence they only
bottled them babies laced with hate and mothers coddle them
Citizens afraid to face a society of pepper spray and mace and
no sobriety check your baggage in cuz your anxiety stressed the
rest and became an impropriety
Something wicked this way
Runs aground and disdain
Comes to town and these plains
Now belong to thieves...........
20/20 hindsight
Still we think we all might
Kill and win the good fight
Bring them to their knees
All of us are brothers under the skin those who are righteous and
those who sin open up a dialogue is to win
Favor with the maker and next of kin
Some say retreat and not to fight a long daze journey into night
Shelter your brother there's a slight Chill in the air
The fading light grabs the ignorant and shakes them
Disposable lifetimes abatement
why do we stare in amazement when
The hardest head hits the pavement
Something wicked this way
Runs aground and disdain
Comes to town and these plains
Now belong to thieves...........
20/20 hindsight
Still we think we all might
Kill and win the good fight
Bring them to their knees
History repeats itself as though it's spherical we look up towards
the sky and trust a miracle soon will wander by like an empirical
king upon the throne who’s never fearful the power is our own if
we can seize it I walked into your home and you say please sit but
I came by alone because the keys fit a heart that’s made of stone
under the trees lit fire and what transpired really moved me a crowd
had gathered near and needed proof seas raged and mountains fell
just so the truth be known we’re all alone under the same roof
Song info- This tune is the odd time (signature) machine. Hopefully
it doesn’t sound like a science experiment and just sounds like a cool
tune. If you care- intro in 3/4, then 5/4, melody is in 3/4, 7/4, then 4/4,
then back to 5/4. Rap goes over the same sequence then it’s 3 bars
of 5/4 and one bar of 6/4 (repeat that). Solo section is in 15 (7/4 then
2 bars of 4/4). The next rap and drum solo are in 3/4 (or 6/8, whatever).
The stop time thing is too freaky to explain- it pretty much goes off
the vocal). Back to the 5, 5, 5, 6 a couple times and then the melody
again. The outro is in 4/4.
Katisse- Vocal, Soprano Saxophone, weird noises :-p
Chris Wabich- Drums
Jimmy Haslip- Bass
Dennis Hamm- Keyboards
