lyrics

"Say something meaningful please."
It's been 3 years of stagnation,court dates and fees,
wondering if I will go free.

Nothing will satisfy me
even if I burn this whole planet down,
it seems.
Won't learn a thing.
I'll die from risking.

I've got friends who would rather end society
because there's no way of fixing these flaws.
And that's starting to make far more sense to me now
'cause we're lazy and used to what's wrong.
It's been embedded inside us since our first breaths.
We're destroying the world where we live
but I'm sitting here watching a T.V. in bed
wondering why i lack happiness.

Oh disappointing mouth
say something more than
another word about
how's your life's difficult
NOW!

la la la la la la

Life is all monotony
sprinkled with some moments of unforeseen extremes
in between more sleeping.

How will the prison showers be?
Will I have to punch somebody just to get clean?
Will there be something for me to eat?

All of us are just frightened roosters in a ring
ready to pounce and fight anything.
Though none of us will ever know what freedom is,
we have certainly felt lack of it.

Proverbs and clichés remind me that
I should learn to appreciate what I can get,
but they're forcing us to live within our own shit
and I wasn't born to be a pig.

Oh disappointing mouth
hold your tongue
so the cops don't come and beat the words from you.
Sing in tune NOW!

about

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
