lyrics

Be A Memory

Ceschi:
Only as free as the laws of nature allow us to be
Wasting another lifetime fighting inevitability
Moments of glory are short lived
Deep breath - take it in
Watched some great men fall feet first into the black abyss,
Fists clenched,
Swallowed by the monsters in their own heads,
Since then
Tried to learn their lessons
But it seems I'm fenced in
Left for dead
Only mimicking actions that killed them

Gregory Pepper:
All my friends are jumping off of cliffs
All my friends are smoking cigarettes
Slow your roll man
Pay that toll man
All The neighbors kids are having kids
Drawings made from paint and fingertips
It's a crooked line so
Just take your time
So take your time.
Follow a path as you walk past the river
up in the morning and get from the giver.

Both:
Killing yourself was cool when you were young
You were cool when you were young

But slit wrists did not fix your ills
Not 50 pills
Not window sills
Once you've sucked out all the thrills
You're unfulfilled
You're nothing still
You're nothing still

Ceschi:
I want to grow a beard.
I want to fall in love.
Want to learn to appreciate beauty surrounding us.
Nothing is trivial,
Nothing's incredible
Everything's working in conjunction to build the proper mold.

All these days are gathering
Behind us
Bagging fallen leaves
Right now will be a memory
Right now will be a memory

Wanted to become something bigger than me.
Wanted to fight against everybody's destiny.
Realizing every single second I breath is just another stab
before death comes to take me.
Seen loved ones become stick figures and skulls.
Seen stereos get pawned for some drugs.
Now they're gonna lock me up - I'm feeling so stuck -
because I know inside that I never hurt anyone.
This is only one page,
one more day,
feel my growing pains..
watch bones elongate...
splinter through my skin...
hair enveloping my face...
canine teeth puncture through my gum space….
watch me bleed all over every crevice of this place.
watch me prove you wrong - show my life is not a waste.
I gotta give a fuck,
gotta find it some way.
I'm trying to give a fuck,
gotta find it some way.
Some way….


All these days are gathering
Behind us
Bagging fallen leaves
Right now will be a memory
Right now will be a memory

Ceschi New Haven, Connecticut

Ceschi (pronounced chess-key) Ramos makes his own version of progressive hip hop spliced with elements of folk & indie rock. Although he has almost "mathy" technical rap abilities he's first and foremost a singer-songwriter at heart. Although one Ceschi song may consist of punk influenced machine gun fast raps, the next may be a quiet folk ballad played on acoustic guitar. ... more
