language is the skin of desire illusion on the ground the sound’s higher post-fact we poke back the states lies are comfort to uncover the more dire situation in that place and this is markets fictional forces get flipped kid targets experiences unhitched which universal principle gets switched this creation manifests this creator greater bless the restless tried and true and tested yes it’s rhyme is true forsooth professed check it voices vital change changin’ false idol title rearrange the reignin’ hands idle suicidal name’s in veins and victory’s valedictory explain it like this the soundtrack to makin’ history feel it all around from spellbound mystery turn it all around transformin’ misery to victory! (victory!) victory! (victory!) this the soundtrack to makin’ history feel it all around from spellbound mystery turn it all around transformin’ misery to victory! (victory!) victory! (victory!) blaze in these modern day days amazed when even though son on stun none can phase him scorn like a unicorn’s horn praise then spark of marx all part of the trainin’ gainin’ democracy is not choosin’ which murderer to murder her usin’ settlement and rhetoric and accusin’ those persecuted celebrate the movement this the soundtrack to makin’ history feel it all around from spellbound mystery turn it all around transformin’ misery to victory! (victory!) victory! (victory!) this the soundtrack to makin’ history feel it all around from spellbound mystery turn it all around transformin’ misery to victory! (victory!) victory! (victory!) justice is the blood of our passion chaos caused in an orderly fashion central monumental we smash then distant systems re-imagined situations the force of this action gather round again the sound’s gainin’ traction among the unsung growin’ faction we many but what we have’s a fraction of your fortune ask then begin dub politics we shift next to kin undercurrents washin’ spread and therein resolve call revolution within check it four bars scars individual family friends and ends indivisible balcony transcends trends inexplicable love like the strength of my wife invincible this the soundtrack to makin’ history feel it all around from spellbound mystery turn it all around transformin’ misery to victory! (victory!) victory! (victory!) this the soundtrack to makin’ history feel it all around from spellbound mystery turn it all around transformin’ misery to victory! (victory!) victory! (victory!) victory

about

My Addiction explores ideas that have become more important to me in recent years: the power of language, creativity, and collective action to achieve personal and societal change. With “Listen,” I mean to propose that people can, through language, create their own worlds and also affect the world around them, and that language may therefore be used both to reinforce and combat power. With the song “My Addiction,” I first posit truth as the greatest threat to power, and end offering that awareness must beget action. Such action may take many forms, and as “Street Writer” suggests, action may take the form of creating art from one’s surroundings. Ultimately, “Victory” can only be won through a collective movement based in the creative. If addiction refers to a compulsive act that is initially pleasurable but eventually overcomes one’s being, then My Addiction – as an EP – refers to an addiction to the world of thoughts, which eludes both to something sinister and to endless possibilities.
