about

Inspired by the day's events and my introduction to mindful life and Buddhism, the Buddha, The Dharma and the Tsonga

lyrics

Suffocate

I can't breathe
Steppin' on my chest
I can't control these feelings

Pushing me away
from being my best
Playing games with myself
in my own mind

Playing tricks
and thinking that I got time
But it's all right now

There's no other way
I think I'm gonna have a baby

Trippin' while I'm slippin'
Reflectin' and rejectin'
My own way of life
My own fuckin' tribe

Losin' it in the mirror
each and every day
Reflection of what
makes me feel this way

Why do people hate?
Berate and deflate?
Here to serve
but don't deserve
endless crap
and no trust

when I'm doin' my best
which should be enough
for most fucks
don't care what they say

Spent my whole life just
giving me away
and i don't want nothing back

'Cuz like Buddha says
everyone's your mother
even that enemy
your sister and your brother
and those that hurt you the most

Have the most to teach you

Slippin'
grippin' at myself
Second guessin'
I never got nothing left

Dismissin' and dissolvovin'
My dreams and my passions
Death by a thousand cuts

Clingin' to my heart
Clingin' to my art
Lookin' for sympathy

Gotta stomp 'em out
Break their brains
Show 'em what it's all about

Bringin' trains of love
on top of their tricycles
Little birds ain't new

Spent my whole life
just giving me away
and I don't want nothin' back

'Cuz like Buudha says
everyone's your mother
even that enemy
your sister and our brother
and those that hurt you the most

Have the most to teach you

Music from the heart and head, the campfire and the cosmos.

Steve Skinner is a trendsetting trailblazer who does things the old fashioned way. He spends time in the desert canyon rivers playing concerts for great blue herons and canyon wrens.

The best way to reach him is to sing into a downstream breeze and then hold your breath to hear the answer.
