Jetness 06:20
[Spoken] The road goes The night lightless, the wind blows Who’s in the black house on the hill Who knows The door’s ajar The grass overgrows Crows huddle Broken shutters clack Black cats pose The moon behind the dark clouds The black sky glows We go To the black house On The hill Broken shutters clack Black cats pose We enter The black house On The hill Inside stand figures, Through the dark, they approach [Chorus, sung] Ee ah ee— Night falls and we arrive In jetness is when we come alive Come forth, don’t be surprised When jetness is what frees you inside The wind, it blows Here come the ghosts Their song, it goes Ee ah ee— Caw the crows Black cats pose The wind, it blows Ee ah ee— My darling, black like the sky In jetness we dodge the harshest light The gaze of the cruelest might The flashlight that shines on us in fright The wind, it blows Here come the ghosts Their song, it goes Ee ah ee— Caw the crows Black cats pose The wind, it blows Ee ah ee— [Chorus] Night falls and we arrive In jetness is when we come alive Come forth, don’t be surprised When jetness is what frees you inside My darling, black like the sky In jetness we dodge the harshest light The gaze of the cruelest might The flashlight that shines on us in fright—

[Verse 1] Stained glass, spectral vibrations of time Hushed rows, calm recitations revive Extend, hands and pass peace and light Blood and flesh, consume in honor of life [Verse 2] Wide robes, undulate freely, passionately Swaying, voices with chest and vitality Speak back, receive and return that same energy Feel those, vibrations of reverence and legacy [Verse 3] Abundance of forest and sky—so drive and drive Just to keep going Perhaps it’s the dream that’s a lie—but dammit We’re gonna keep trying [Verse 4] Northword ride City of our people, city of our people Feel alive Schools, churches, families, this is what life can be We arrived from the south to strive City of our people, city of our people Among ours we more than survive Schools, churches, families, this is what life can be

Mars 03:22
[Verse 1] Thought I cared for your chit chat, Think twice Thought we would be cheek-kissing, Not quite Forced fakers and fast talkers— So trite Dilettantes and class clawers, Good night Your definitions bore me, Shoo, shoo Your disses and decorum, I’m through Tense quiet when I come hard With truth And still you run your mouth No, boo [Chorus] Proclaim you win and reign Rule the script Know the way Not shit to say Think precedence grants you Authority How fucking vain Invalidate my pain Shut me down Point and blame What a game Say that you love me then Call me out of my name What a shame [Verse 2] Still learning to refine my Blunt style The art of not letting my Rage pile That’s how it goes with Mars in House Twelve Now Saturn’s back, I’m feeling Myself [Chorus] Proclaim you win and reign Rule the script Know the way Not shit to say Think precedence grants you Authority How fucking vain Invalidate my pain Shut me down Point and blame What a game Say that you love me then Call me out of my name What a shame [Bridge] My Aries mars, will be The end of you, and me Don’t step too quick, baby You getting me, clearly? ...don't watch your tongue, with me Better watch your tongue, with me Don’t step too quick, baby Step too quick—you’ll see [Chorus] Proclaim you win and reign Rule the script Know the way Not shit to say Think precedence grants you Authority How fucking vain Invalidate my pain Shut me down Point and blame What a game Say that you love me then Call me out, of my name What a shame
