Chad Smalt: Oil Painter

If I am to die - If I must die.
I must inspire while I live.
Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams.

HOT WATER MUSIC
"At the End of a Gun"

we can waste, we can come and go, we can act like we don't know about suffering and pain, we can live our lives in shame for never helping anyone we know... or don't, but we need to recognize that we are dying if we live alone

let's send our energy out with what we know and unify today because our freedom sits at the end of a gun

we're all here getting beat up and held back, we're all here digging knives from our backs, we've all been betrayed.. because it's business not people, it's always take and it is never give, and that's not the way i want to live,

cause that's nothing but dying

and we're nothing if we sell ourselves, close our eyes never hear, never cry for living,

an empty

life.
