about

Unknown Sin was about Gossip. Originally, this song was just about my hatred of two-face-type politicians; but after the recent testimonies of Ford VS Kavanaugh, as well as the baffling press coverage of it and how the general reaction to it from a certain political leaning was so "cold-shoulder," I felt this song was more apropos than ever. Thank you Shakespeare.

Let us not forget, as humans one of our weakness is that we always tend to only look out for No.1. We gotta remember there's other people on this planet, and the people that were insulated with privilege by the system as well as having a wild-hair up their ass to succeed and get more power - they have handed in their humanity card. They are not acting like people. We should still treat everyone equally - but note that folks who will do more to gain power and keep it away from folks they find undesirable - they are cold, manipulative, liars, and above all - heartless.

The Owl-Eyes is always watching - just like humanity - hope y'all are listening.

lyrics

Our voices cry for change
The same things are in demand
We ask for fair exchange
of the power that's in your hand
I'm sick of addressing this
and I hate to repeat myself twice
With you - it's a hundred and six
and your thoughts keep us frozen in ice

And they're heartless
Heartless
Cold and thoughtless, don't know what art is
Heartless
And they're heartless
and they claim that everything's good
We've known you never understood you're heartless.

You place your smoke and mirrors
Deflecting our eyes away
program some thoughts and fears
controlling the words we say
By now you've believe somehow
that my mind has finally gone bad
Well boo-hoo, it's the same with you
and this fact keeps us feeling so sad

Big Brother
Big Mother
Perplexed by the things we do
Big Brother
Big Mother
Watch you're tongue! They're watching you!
