Connect2Spirit Lyrics

Family lineage whether Dene, Cree

Or Hungarian history passed down in reverie

Along with an ancient imperial rite of severing

Of severing

World wars entangled to my sequence

Both lines coupled to my double helix

Schoolyard forsaken into inter-generations

Left me in my mind to be beaten by illusions

Cuz I felt detached detached

Illustrate a lack a lack

Of connection to spirit

Connect connect to spirit

They forge us catholic

To kill the goddess

Pour sacrilege

Medus-us object

We praise their crucifix

They enforce repentance

Kneeled prostration

With a lack of faith

All that holy

But where was the brave?

From a young age

Ripped away from play

In the evening

Catechism cruise

Afternoon a 10-yr-old

Delivering the news

Bought myself candy

With my money

Through to 16

With the drug-pent loving

Electronic music ecstasy

Late nights mornings LSD

Winter barren trees experimenting

Trying for an escape strategy

From the home

With all the hallway yelling

Got pennies for your dimes

Tell me who it is selling

Cuz I felt detached detached

Illustrate a lack a lack

Of connection to spirit

Connect connect to spirit

Cuz I felt detached detached

Illustrate a lack a lack

Of connection to spirit

Connect connect to spirit

Seeing my culture

Open displayed

On the gym floor

On Aboriginal day

The dancer twirls

My friends crusade

Beat of drums prickle

While this shame is engraved

Given gifts of sacred spirit are missed

Thrust upon with a medical list

Genocide of white walls inside a psych ward

I have seen it all they try to sever our cord

Home life echoes

A stolen scoop full

Graveyards at school, trench warfare

And falling shrapnel

Over a lineage

Thickened with pride

Pierced open side

Their christ's omen tied

Brother to psychosis

Forced to take flight

Splintered my family

The woodchips alight

Cuz I felt detached detached

Illustrate a lack a lack

Of connection to spirit

Connect connect to spirit

Cuz I felt detached detached

Illustrate a lack a lack

Of connection to spirit

Connect connect to spirit

We are not / detached detached

There is not / a lack a lack

Of connection to spirit

Connect connect to spirit

We are not / detached detached

There is not / a lack a lack

Of connection to spirit

Connect connect to spirit

Hearing the land and my ancestors, and the spirit in everything

I can look back and see the spirit in everything
