Do you tell him what it is that makes you happy Do you tell him anything that makes you sad If he tells lie’s to get under your skin Don't you let him oh no don't you let him in Don't ignore that he lacks empathy Don't ignore that he can turn cold He will try to make you relinquish all control Don’t give in and allow him to take hold control is all he needs toxicity seeps through You’re hearts open wound And he’s Hiding behind smoke and mirrors  x4

Blind lead the blind Rich lead the poor Hungry beg for food Greedy just want more Left long for change Right want the right to hate Tree’s want to be left To grow in their own space Love loses light hate takes the stage Prejudice is practiced and takes kindness away Race is still recognised Religious wars still flare human condition’s inept and left in disrepair opinions aired Facts are shut down Intelligence is void stupidity wins out Pursuit of happiness Is lost to all it seems Depressive episodes reality TV day turns to night Gravity pulls down its all black and white we see things upside down

Sentimental traditions Stunt progressive minds Troll the net for your next victim Attack them for being kind Why...... must you act so entitled What……. Do yo hope to achieve It's not intelligent banter protruding from your mouth Thinking whats written shows class and wit You’re speaking from much further south When…… will your arrogance subside Where…… else could your talents shine Stop the hate, hate to stop Poor taste without tact Provocative attacks Stop the hate, hate to stop Confronting strangers, while purposely vile Lack basic manners, judge before trial Attacking adults and attacking kids It matters not one bit Sentimental twit

You can hate me for the clothes I wear You can laugh, point, mock and stare If that's the person you wish to be Full of hate and lacking in morality What is it with my hair that bothers you? Our cultural differences, skin tone too? These reasons make no sense to me Your thought process is shrouded in hypocrisy I don't want to come and claim the land Your ancestors stole on a Kings command It's possible to live harmoniously But anger burns you up, you deny history What do you care If there is change to corporate logos, the product remains the same I don't understand your reasons for this Its hurtful, confusing and down-right selfish Small changes help big wounds to heal If it helps brothers and sisters, whats the big deal Don’t get mad, don’t let that define how you see the world take my hand and stand with me in unity Can you really hate me for the clothes I wear

Breathe 03:42
A point void of fact A cause lost to lies Over and over we see it again The pain echoed in cries Let him breathe, let the fear subside May we reconcile The flame you ignite Stirred the pot, got a fight Gave your minions the green light To shoot and think it's their right Let him breathe. Let the fear subside May we live Without fear of a cops bullet taking innocent lives Reconcile petty differences to Create a world of tolerance It’s worth the pain felt from the fight Black,Yellow, Brown, White show love tonight Stop the divide for capital gain The more we fight, the weaker we get, the longer they reign and we play right into their hands The last thing the wealthy want is for the working class to stand Cause our numbers are plenty and There will be no treaty Lets all band together to lynch the greedy Who value profit, more than they value life Hoarding herds of cash, creating divide, We might all have different beliefs, skin colours But one things for sure we’re all born from a mother, so Open your eyes and open your hearts showing kindness to each other is where it all starts.

filled with such an arrogance panic stricken fools seem to be wide spread Greed and gluttony will end up taking more sure you can wipe your arse now but your dignities stripped raw Common sense won’t save us all incompetent leaders have really fouled the ball its quite the unusual predicament Refrain from placing blame, look after all instead No one’s at fault so put that self-righteous finger down hate only begets hate, then loves left a deaf sound its more a problem for the poor, but those of whom which matter have not drawn the short straw The elderly are next in line. But those of whom which matter are expected to be fine

What good can come from this frustration? what good indeed you hear me say In my direction lays your attention a seething smile conveys I'll pay. well I've been waiting while you've been complaining all the while, keeping me on my toes When can I expect another sassy comment? when can I expect you to move on? Letting go I've found is really not your strong point not giving a dam is where I'm wrong Can you give me some time to say all of my goodbye's then you can take me, take me away where I'm far out of sight. where will you leave me? I find it intriguing where will I finally find peace? I hope it's somewhere no one will ever find me somewhere I'm comfortable and free.

about

Debut solo album by Rich Owen in which he plays all the emotionless faces. The album has a very human feel to it and despite being played by one person (minus the violin on 'those of whom which matter' which is played by Lizzy) still sounds like a band. The tracks cover topics that range from politics to love, although in true Rich Owen fashion, mostly politics. Due to covid restrictions this EP was recorded entirely in a bedroom. Hope you enjoy. Peace xx Listen Loud
