Billy Wilson 05:38
Billy Wilson Billy got up that morning and he Popped another beer Took a look at the trashed hotel room Said: “Time to disappear” Threw the bottle at the television Took some pills just to keep his binge on Billy carjacked a ’69 Charger And he fled the town Spat some blood through the drivers window Turned up the sound He took a leak at a police station Now all the pigs are out to chase him on Put the pedal to the metal Billy Gotta step on the gas Well if you can’t lose them pigs, Billy Wilson Time to make a mess Turn your car in an aggressive motion Accelerate into a 5 cars explosion ("And there goes the Charger, being chased by the blue, blue meanies on wheels……The pigs numbers are getting closer, closer, closer to our soul hero, in his soul mobile… they about to strike… they gonna get him… smash him… rape him… the last beautiful free soul on this planet. Hey Billy, you out there?")

Flicking The Syringe (Passive-Aggressive Tide) Well I’m not optimistic, but I’m better than these motherfuckers. Go ahead and contradict me, I guess no one loves one another. I’m just quite tired of being sane. Well I woke up this morning Felt the sun and the breeze And the birds are so happy Screaming on the trees And as I flick the syringe I wonder why… It’s just a waste of time. Follow intuitions, give me some morphine, goodbye, hello I just had this vision, all good people are so shallow I watched the fire, now I’m insane. “The patient didn’t show any signs of improvement”, said the doctor to his recorder, as he took a sip of a twelve year old whiskey. Better call it a night and wait a few days, as to see if the clouds wouldn’t mind providing us with a little bit of sunshine. “How are you feeling today?” Moonlight swims Mood swings The phases of the moon The scream of the loons “How are you feeling today?” Now I’m constipated, with all this emptiness that lives inside me. You try to motivate me, while I go find a place for hiding. I will fly higher, then lie in shame. Well I woke up this morning Kicked myself in the teeth And I would be so happy On a field with trees And as I flick the syringe I tell my god I wanna be your dog This is my final verse now, but I don’t give a fuck about it.

Cadavre Exquis Black trees and black birds, I'm lost... in the woods or inside my head Power Inside, insight, decide The light explodes I light a torch and bend down to look closer, A dead bird Dab, bong, pipe, herb Sabbath Doom Dirty water dosen't matter The flies in the jar. Violence. The dead bull. Violence Badproof Vest Write shit on the wall And it never ends.

Mexican Standoff I will stand alone Two birds, one stone Aim, bang bang, we’re done Mind the setting sun. (….please) Now, peace has been sold Ecstasy of gold Impasse in Mexico Well…you have been told. Goddamn! You break arms as you shake hands And all roads lead to dead ends Eat some lead then you'll repent Ruling over your dead friends Use their blood to paint the sand Shouldn’t had to come to this, man But you both had to come and then Mistrust my lust for power! Settled in a Mexican (standoff) (4x) You see…in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend…those with loaded guns and those who dig…You dig.

about

Low Mantra Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Low Mantra is a Brazilian Heavy Psychedelic Rock band. Big heavy drums, down-tuned bass and guitars. Visceral vocals blended in polished harmonies. Synths bring the psychedelic ambiance and also a modern touch. All that with the unpredictability of a Melvins’ song. The result are absolutely authentic tracks, that embrace the artistic risks and that carry the exciting energy of a Tarantino movie. ... more
