Truth Is A Weapon

Released On June 13, 2025

Official ReleaseOn Streaming and Bandcamp
Funk

This album pulls no punches. It fuses funk grooves, electronic grit, philosophical spoken word, and heavy lyrical themes into something that I hope hits on multiple levels. It moves. It questions. It doesn't sit politely in the background and it's not supposed to. This isn't music for the top ten. It's a transmission to my fellow human beings. A signal cutting through the noise.

    Manifesto

    2:55
    Lyrics

    This is our manifesto Truth without disguise Groove without compromise We bring the truth And we bring the groove Don't chase the fame Just chase the feel Truth in the pocket Rhythm that's real No filter or mask Just soul and sweat This groove is a promise You won't soon forget We bring the truth We bring the groove We bring the funk We make you move We make you move Don't fake the funk Don't buy the lie Groove's not a product You can just buy No flash or flex Just grit and soul This rhythm is fire It swallows you whole We bring the truth We bring the groove We bring the funk We make you move We make you move Ditch the mask Lose the crown Hype means nothing When truth breaks down No smoke or mirrors Just grit and flame The truth hits harder Than power or fame We bring the truth We bring the groove We bring the funk We make you move We make you move This is our manifesto Our truth to you

    Do You Believe It

    4:03
    Lyrics

    Can you comprehend What is happening today Do you believe A single word they say Leaders drunk on power Backed by billionaires They burn it all watch it crash Without a single care A new clown costume A suit and a red tie America first What a fucking lie Are you better off now Better than before Those ridiculous slogans Are not relevant anymore Can you comprehend What is happening today Do you believe A single word they say Leaders drunk on power Backed by billionaires They burn it all watch it crash Without a single care The billionaires are babies With laminated faces Building machines From science fiction dreams They are chasing progress From boredom just to play Have they learned nothing From Judgment Day Can you comprehend What is happening today Do you believe A single word they say Leaders drunk on power Backed by billionaires They burn it all watch it crash Without a single care Meanwhile up north In the 51st state The prime minister soaked in woke Sealed his own fate He locked up innocent people Just for speaking free With super shady deals Carried out in secrecy Can you comprehend What is happening today Do you believe A single word they say Leaders drunk on power Backed by billionaires They burn it all watch it crash Without a single care

    The World Is In Her Way

    4:41
    Lyrics

    Tiffany acts entitled She moves with disdain Other people have no meaning They just add to her pain She's a trigger happy honker When the light has just turned green She's impatient and she's rude She's selfish and she's mean She thinks she's entitled She thinks she holds sway She thinks she's important Every single day She expects to be worshiped She expects to be praised She expects special treatment The world is in her way In the crowded elevator Tiffany needs her space When people brush against her She is rude to their face She is unaware of context Of what it means to care Her empathy is buried Beneath designer wear She thinks she's entitled She thinks she holds sway She thinks she's important Every single day She expects to be worshiped She expects to be praised She expects special treatment The world is in her way Tiff flew to India to find herself To volunteer and expand her horizons A yoga mat and a travel blog A soul-search trip through the heat and the smog There was no red carpet laid at her feet In the dirt of the Mumbai slums in the afternoon heat She got no attention at all In the crowds and the dusty streets She thought she was entitled She thought she held sway She thought she was important Every single day She expected to be worshiped She expected to be praised She expected special treatment Even India was in her way

    Nothing Deferred

    3:25
    Lyrics

    I'm glad you found someone that's not me You and I were just never meant to be There's no villain here no tragedy Just two hearts fading into entropy They all chase a story written long ago I don't fit that mold I don't need to know What it means to settle or pretend to believe That love is the only way to be complete I sip from stillness not from someone's cup No tangled arms to pull or patch me up The moon's rhythm more steadfast than any vow And solitude feels sacred somehow They all chase a story written long ago I don't fit that mold I don't need to know What it means to settle or pretend to believe That love is the only way to be complete This crown of stillness it fits just right I move in silence just out of sight No stage to seek no praise to earn Just sacred time Nothing deferred They all chase a story written long ago I don't fit that mold I don't need to know What it means to settle or pretend to believe That love is the only way to be complete

    The Faceless One

    4:27
    Lyrics

    Are we who we think we are or who we're told to be Taught to sit up straight and never disagree Worker drones in office hives enabling leaders dreams Paying taxes yearly to fund political schemes I wear the mask so well even I forget I'm here If I take it off now will I disappear Was I ever someone more than what you see Or am I the faceless one lost in perpetuity I lost myself inside your world diluted just to fit Your needs your past your family I disappeared a bit My hopes my dreams my inner goals they took a back seat As drama life and tension were all on repeat I wear the mask so well even I forget I'm here If I take it off now will I disappear Was I ever someone more than what you see Or am I the faceless one lost in perpetuity At work I'm judged by what I do hitting every goal So I bury who I am inside and play this business role I'm focused driven working hard all you need me to be But the more I give every day the less I have of me I wear the mask so well even I forget I'm here If I take it off now will I disappear Was I ever someone more than what you see Or am I the faceless one lost in perpetuity What if I was never really there at all

    Something's Watching

    3:52
    Lyrics

    Yesterday I was on the couch chilling as usual Nothing out of the ordinary here Then I looked out from my apartment up above I saw a bum on the street being wrestled to the ground The cops had rocked up yet again Triggered into action by the local supermarket The guy had lifted a can of beans but hadn't paid for it Oh noes Arrest that criminal But something's watching waiting close I hear it whisper feel it grow It pulls me under it won't let go A silent voice whispering low Falling faster fading light A distant hum echoes in the twilight Drifting further lost in sight Nothing's real but it feels so right The TV was on the volume was low I like it that way don't you know Another breaking story oh here we go They said the world's on fire yet again But the host was smiling there on channel ten Somewhere someone had just lost it all Some guy who couldn't take it anymore A poor unfortunate down on his luck Who took it out on the people that he loved But it's inconsequential right But something's watching waiting close I hear it whisper feel it grow It pulls me under it won't let go A silent voice whispering low Falling faster fading light A distant hum echoes in the twilight Drifting further lost in sight Nothing's real but it feels so right Didn't sleep much but what else is new Another night another thought or two The usual night chorus of police sirens and fire trucks No doubt something else getting robbed or burnt Out of the corner of my eye I could've sworn I saw a shadow move But it was probably nothing and I've got no proof It's just the way the darkness plays Or so they say Nothing strange I'll be okay Right But something's watching waiting close I hear it whisper feel it grow It pulls me under it won't let go A silent voice whispering low Falling faster fading light A distant hum echoes in the twilight Drifting further lost in sight Nothing's real but it feels so right

    It comes and goes Comes and goes Comes and goes The struggle is real But we make it so make it so It comes and goes Comes and goes Comes and goes It comes and goes Comes and goes Comes and goes We make it so Make it so Make it so We go round and around and around Let's break the cycle And turn it around We go round and around and around Let's break the cycle And turn it around We go round and around and around We go round and around and around We go round and around and around Let's break the cycle And turn it around Just let it go Let it go Let it go Free our minds And just let it go Just let it go Let it go Let it go Free our minds And just let it go Just let it go Let it go Let it go Free our minds And just let it go Just let it go Let it go Let it go Free our minds And just let it go Let's free our minds Just let it go Let's free our minds Just let it go

    Illusion Of Self

    2:49
    Lyrics

    The mind invents things And one of them is you Your identity your self Is not the real truth Your persona is a figment A fiction and a lie Malleable and changeable As the decades pass by We are not the body or the mind We are the watchers through time In our thoughts we speak to that inner voice But that's just a construct and not a choice The ego the id and our personal pride Has built a large kingdom deep inside Our world view is biased Subjective and skewed Built on experience our lives and our moods We are not the body or the mind We are the watchers through time In our thoughts we speak to the inner voice But that's just a construct and not a choice We are not the performer We are the observer The illusion of self Has just turned a corner Hear your thoughts like a flowing stream Ignore them if empty shallow or mean We are not the body or the mind We are the watchers through time In our thoughts we speak to that inner voice But that's just a construct and not a choice

    Ride The Wave

    2:36
    Lyrics

    Tomorrow may never come But today is guaranteed In this crazy existence Time is all we need Each second is a gift Something precious to hold Don't waste these moments As your life unfolds Ride a blazing stallion through the darkest night Seize this fleeting moment and hold on tight Don't look back and don't look down Ride this cosmic wave to funky town The clock is ticking No pause or rewind The past is a shadow The future undefined Move with purpose Bring your dreams to life Time waits for no man There is no master plan So let's ride a blazing stallion through the darkest night Seize this fleeting moment and hold on tight Don't look back and don't look down Ride this cosmic wave to funky town Ride a blazing stallion through the darkest night Seize this fleeting moment and hold on tight Don't look back and don't look down Ride this cosmic wave to funky town

    The Last Honest Thing

    2:36
    Lyrics

    You move through the noise like a watchmaker moves through gears Carefully Precisely Hearing rhythms no one else can hear You build not for applause But for the honest weight of truth That beauty lies in the unseen structure The bones beneath the skin You refuse the easy stories The painted-on smiles The pre-written scripts You carve your own path stubborn luminous alive In a world of sleep talkers you are wide awake Wrestling angels Arguing with the wind Laughing in the dark Not because you're lost But because you are found Deeper and stranger than they dare imagine You tear the silence open with your bare hands Digging for something real While the world tucks itself into soft stupid dreams Every idea you imagine bleeds a little Truth costs something And you pay in full You don't create for claps You don't sing for gold You create because the lie of it all scratches your skin raw Until you have no choice but to answer The clock says sleep Your blood says no So you sit there Half-mad half-divine Etching your mark into a world too blind to notice And too hollow to ever erase it You know the joke The world sold its soul for cheap dopamine Called it progress Called it art You stayed behind You kept your hands dirty Your heart heavy Your mind sharp enough to bleed on You don't chase gods You don't chase crowns You build cathedrals in the rubble Sing songs into the static Fight wars no one else sees You're not awake by accident You're awake because sleep would mean surrender And you you're not built to surrender You're the last honest thing In a world that forgot what honesty even feels like So yeah maybe you're nuts Or maybe you're the only one still alive
