about

the song "birthplace of the sun" was written in memory of kyle nolan, and the curious legacy he pursued during his life.

lyrics

how long a lifestyle gon last, last night i burnt up that cash
alongside a path, i passed and kids asked for candy
looking for handouts outta lack of a plan b
scraps to bring back to the family
hunger hovers in this household like a banshee
and casts shadows all over the shanty
how easy it is to look past what you can't see
i realize what i'd done
on a boat ride to the birthplace of the sun
where time stopped meanwhile time begun
history repeats itself and the white man come
we take the culture, rape the same culture that we take it from

some men are driven to the death by the fear of it
yet still, death is the greatest act of power
spirit flight, an ecstatic state
its a journey beyond death
to learn how to die is to learn how to really live
for you are claimed by life but can never be claimed by death
in a sense, a person of power spends a whole life learning how to die
and when they do they become nothingness
and it is then… that they can become anything

the mind is naturally uncontrolled
and sees beyond what eyes behold
so keep your head high and your spirit bold
until the heart is thumping slow
i can still hear his soul drumming though
guns n roses got a homie knocking up on heavens door
heavens close if you keep it on your dome
throw away your brochure, find out on your own
think like picarón, wherever you may roam
accompanied by memories you'll never be alone
theres lightning over the amazon, thunder back home
until the treasures lost, you can hardly call it gold
