selfishness, conducting action restlessness, remaining in fashion when the walls come down, we’ll call it over when the tears run down the earth grows older we need to hold them accountable tear down their archaic ways we need to hold them accountable don’t let them dictate our days consequence brings chain reaction pestilence when conflated defection when the signs come down we’ll say it’s over but the violence resounds over our shoulders

will the world be quiet? i sense a riot the days grow violent get away what's inside feeling my decisions? free will pretending it's determinism. i wouldn't listen, i still wouldn't listen. tell me what's best and i'll lie with what isn't, oh yeah. there's even more comin', there's even more comin'.

justice 05:08
what is going on out here? people crying out in vain every day why’s it half to go on here? people dying senselessly every day when will we see some justice? calling out to all to make a change when will we end this prejudice? indifference, equivalent to hate. calling out to all to make a change. how can we let this happen here? we have to fight for a better way if the rolls were reversed the path would be clear, so why can’t we treat all humans the same? you should say their names. closing your eyes won’t make it go away. if you could be in those families, if you could feel the way the feel, you’d understand all hearts break the same.

when i start the day with the phone up in my face, i realize that’s no way to live, reality alternative. manufactured consciousness consuming fear. say i am not defined by any articles. say i am not defined by lazy memes and other’s dreams. i found the best hashtag, it’ll get me noticed. i’ll be trending, and even before it’s ending i’ll be empty again. hey, have you heard that they’re selling our kids into slavery? but i’ve got this new chill wave groove, and a wayfair couch with a big selfie mood. tick tock, tik tok, we’re being spied on around the clock, the sale of our information. i bought some sex toys from wish, cause i’m trying to lower my vibration. at the end of the day, with the phone up in my face, i realize that’s no way live. will i find an alternative, or am i forever doomed to instagram my lunch?
7.
whirl 03:25
isn’t life a whirl? a brief tour of this world. your limited run up the mountain, then it’s over. over and over.

breathe out 05:00
breathe out, find another way.

about

in a post-quarantine society, impatient americans rush to shopping malls & nail salons, victims of conjecture and unable to see their sense of entitlement, rush to methods of consumption and “self-care.”

tony appleseed continues to quietly & patiently cultivate songs into existence, tossing the fruits of his labor into a deaf and attention deficient social media, so that maybe one day, a curious listener will stumble upon this delicious harvest.

after mostly going it alone for his 2020 offering “In Kayfabe”, appleseed calls on a diverse cast of fellow friends to join him for this latest effort, even taking the passenger’s seat in the writing role for a few numbers, which makes for a wild ride through the rallying cries of these caustic optimist numbers.
