There's an alien in you that's not so alien to me We’re not so different you and I we both have two legs and we breathe This oxygen that fills our lungs comes from the plants comes from the sun Our bodies lie still when we tire and hibernate when days are done How could you deny these Villagers Images Pillaging their livelihood Robbing them of what is good I can’t look you in the face Your whole soul has been disgraced You know not what you’re on about You’re soon to see you’re wrong no doubt The face of God It turns it turns it turns it turns it turns it turns it turns What sense could it make to give armed men another stronger gun See you point the finger at the hungry; claim they’re selfish Huns These poor people without pea shooters can’t get food for their sons You arm the strongmen to their gold teeth and promise scraps will come; they never come How could you deny these Villagers Images Pillaging their livelihood Robbing them of what is good I can’t look you in the face Your whole soul has been disgraced You know not what you’re on about You’re soon to see you’re wrong no doubt The face of God It turns it turns it turns it turns it turns it turns it turns

Catch you creeping on my corner and I’ll let you know Just where you can go Shove off frankly fuck off gently yes I’ll have you know I do great when you go I do great when you go I do great when you go When I see you here again I’ll turn my back I’ve found my niche ain’t it a bitch yes I’ll have you know I do great when you go Why the fuck’d I give a fuck about ya ‘letchyou know Just where you can go Just where you can go Just where you can go I do great when you go

Lo, lo how you’ve made yourself known Lo how you’re unto your own Lo how you’ve grown how you’ve grown Sown Sown like such seeds sit in thrones Kings let out their groans How could they have known, they have known Serenade with sun Warm as nature’s Warm as nature’s son Watch them as they Watch them as they come Up from Shown, shown through the glass and chrome Grown like those kids of your own Lo how you’ve grown how you’ve grown Blown Blown up to bits like they’re none Kings make up their moans How could we’ve known could we know Don’t tell me, they’re nothing

about

Face of God EP is comprised of three tracks that I've put together since purchasing a house last year. I've been able to get all my gear into an additional bedroom and have been going at it for the last 6 months producing tracks mostly for myself. I haven't released anything officially since WOWOW's 2011 LP "Quietus." This is a major departure from that work in sound as I've finally scrounged together the necessary cash to purchase a drum set and an interface with enough pre-amps to properly mic it. I've opted for a more organic, but not completely organic sound here and I hope you enjoy it.

Face of God is about those who strive against their own self interests by empowering the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor.

When You Go is about written from the perspective of a close friend who I treated like shit.

Grown Like Your Own is an anti-war song.
