1. Mouthful of truth It’s a gun but a word And you already know That it’s done and it’s heard It’s an echoing blow It’s cage but a laugh Only heard by a few It’s a gift that’s a gaff In the mouth of the truth It’s a kind that’s a pack And it feeds on its own It’s an end, an attack It’s a trap, it’s a home It’s a name but a clique Where an empty resides It is hope bent as sick Where the optimist dies It’s a gun but a word And you already know Now it’s done Now it’s heard It’s an echoing blow It’s a fist in the gut Only felt by a few It’s a gift that’s a gaff In the mouth of the truth

We Know 03:22
2. We know Took a while to see the races Now you run to keep from falling Your legs they move in endless rhythms Whistle blown from corners far No rest from life’s hard business Out of time in each stale story Got you reaching for protection No one’s punching out your card You’re over it We know You’re under it We know Taking space between the moments Waiting for the next to beckon You find yourself drifting elsewhere Maybe a glimpse of forgotten time Before we knew a guilt of failure and the weight of expectation We were made by the maker’s bargain Absolution for agency Square your peg to keep from fitting And roughen up all your edges Take a step in a new direction See the hole you keep on digging It’s ok to break your system A neighbor’s scorn won’t last forever Walk away and we will find you You might even find yourself

3. A lovely place (for bones) From the west sequoia, in the east bloodroot cries Trampled and broken, in the light of the morning rise It’s lovely place, for her bones It’s frightening place to call a home It’s lovely place, for our bones It’s a darkest stain never owned In the earth she is planted, from her bones the sweetgrass grows It will cast no shadow, not a trace for comfort sown

Did you hear the voices Screaming on TV Narrowing of choices Now you have to believe If they press the question You’ll never hear the lie Sinking is the feeling Something’s just not right Maybe there are answers Deep between the lines Obscured by so much cancer They are so hard to find Let me fall I’m shaken from this burning tree To live inside a story is to not be free I’ve clung to words and mantras in fear of being alone So let me fall and break it, this empty form Did you see the pictures Dressed out on the news You become eyewitness But we see what we choose Did you hear a promise Entangled in the lies That the tribe brings solace And you are safe inside Did you see the victims Sprawled out on the floor Martyrs turned malignant What are we fighting for That which brings us comfort Draws the deepest line And we concede to live there As we are safe inside

about

Jupiter Hearts Charlotte, North Carolina

Jupiter Hearts is Rob Pennington (Endpoint, BTGOG, Black Cross), Charlie Wood, Tim Kriependorf (Triple Threat), and Scott Wishart (Late Bloomer, Scout). Their sound, an amalgam of their experiences growing up in different punk scenes, is reminiscent of spirited mid-eighties punk. Pennington’s lyrics are both personal and political, consistent with the Jupiter-sized intention behind the music. ... more
