lyrics

Natalies Song so sociable and charming, you taught humans to be kind rescued from a slaughterhouse, this is where you lived your life we awoke one morning to find that you were sick though just last night you showed no signs of illness now it shows and I lost a friend today we say goodbye to you Sweetpea and carry on your name Let's sit together and remember our friends We'll relive all those memories again you helped humans come to realize that turkeys are there friends supposed to grow to 12, but 3 years is all you lived you had problems with your joints and problems with digestion problems brought from breeding for massive food production and though we gave you a good home we'll keep you in our hearts, we'll show them they were wrong I want to shut down all of those places you've been and I'll make sure they can't do this again

The Forest Near Your Old House I hear the chainsaws ripping through the ancient trees I see good people doing nothing beauty strips along the highway to deceive I see good people doing nothing they say clearcuts put an end to plant disease I see good people doing nothing how can they cast aside all that they believe? how can they sit there and do nothing? there's a dry creek bed where no water flows and the forest you once loved stands there no longer it's just a barren piece of land where nothing grows while their complacency and apathy make them stronger *now your river can no longer reach the ocean will you sit there and do nothing our forests threatened by logging and pollution will you sit there and do nothing simply asking them to stop is fucking useless will you sit there and do nothing I'm so sick of every one of their excuses how can they sit there and do nothing there's a dry creek bed where no water flows and the forest you once loved stands there no longer it's just a barren piece of land where nothing grows while their complacency and apathy make them stronger

03 - Not All of Me Survived 02:45
lyrics
Not All of Me Survived no more silence, no more lies this time no more excuses in my life no longer be ashamed to share the pain i feel inside not afraid to stand up and say the things you did to me weren't right and I'll sleep and dream in hopes that these nightmares will subside I have felt the same way you described if only I'd had the courage to tell you about my life I would have told you where these scars came from and how they make me feel it would have made those experiences seem real I asked for help, I pleaded for solace in my life the things we saw, i'm not sure that all of me survived in the past you ignored my screams, my begging and my cries now I don't need these memories parading through my mind i raised the strength to fight back in my own way and i implore you to do the same I stayed quiet for too long, always looked the other way only with death do you realize your mistakes mistakes, mistakes you made a fucking mistake

04 - We Must Look Like Monsters 03:02
lyrics
the first horse I'd ever had the chance to get to know you are gentle, you are strong and you are brave and even if your scars are cut so deep they always show you're a warrior my friend and now your safe stanley, stanley you deserved a better life it's true stanley, stanley I can't believe the things they did to you they burn six numbers in your skin and those numbers still remain how could animals ever trust us again? they would have run you to your death, a forced march till your dying day humans must look like monsters to them stanley, stanley they racetrack burned six numbers in your neck stanley, stanley a symbol we'll never forget sadistic gambling perverts drunk and screaming in their seats the scum of the earth in my eyes horses forced to run until their heart ceases to beat it's all just torture in disguise our anger begs for action though I know you never would we're just thankful that you are ok we love to see you happy, every reason that we should your presence just brightens our day stanley, stanley you deserved a better life it's true stanley, stanley we are all so very proud of you
