In the Summer time, so nice. Everything feelin' right The woods contain their very own but let us stop to think that the wilderness and all it shows must remain all alone to save what's left, remains untouched, all that money that's corrupted us Alone for hundreds of years my brothers would say she's dead but she lives Can't you feel her weight pushing you down? Can't you feel her weight pushing you down And on and on she lives her life so content she's even made her bed in her house made of sticks to die all alone Her blood, rotten red As her home becomes dry and dead It was never meant to be the Wilderness Witch Alone for hundreds of years my brothers would say she's dead but she lives Can't you feel her weight pushing you down? Can't you feel her weight pushing you down

Spanish 04:33
They used to say back in the days of our lives That how we treat ourselves doesn't mean we'll find our own way And they used to sing songs to the dead and they spoke. And if we kill more than we make they'll consume our soul No, you're not welcome in this town no more No, you're not welcome in this town no more So go And I wanted to go And once believed we could dream with our eyes closed but as the days proceed we've grown detached from our home This Earth we live, show it no love, she we will die. It's surely a path less known so she cries out No, you're not welcome in this town no more No, you're not welcome in this town no more So go And I wanted to go

Someday 02:40
And when I thought that what was written as truth with no idea These past beliefs we've left behind you truly have no idea Someday Maybe we'll live up to One day our brother and sisters too Someday When the sun it shines on us One day maybe we'll see But when the sun it comes it shines so gracefully what we've put forth to taste, stays in its grave. Let the youth have no change Someday Maybe we'll live up to One day our brother and sisters too Someday When the sun it shines on us One day maybe we'll see Someday Maybe we'll live up to One day our brother and sisters too Someday When the sun it shines on us One day maybe we'll see

We weren't meant to shuffle past each other on the street pretending to be so interested in all these cracks in the side walk these cracks in the side walk And we're all sliding down to the very depths of indecency and ignorance It's the dawn of a new era convictions change with the season and we'd like to welcome you to the Age of No Reason oh, we've got none

If you would choose to pull me aside and tell me your name I couldn't remember anything I know it's wrong but it's right to play these guessing games I could care less about what I see What's my name? What's my name? Give me your number babe What's my name? What's my name? Give me your number Holla back with your number, I will call your name What's my name? What's my name? Give me your number I've heard so many things about you girl good and bad, things I can't believe And when the shit hits the fan you know I'll up and leave 'cause that's the only life I choose to lead What's my name? What's my name? Give me your number babe What's my name? What's my name? Give me your number Holla back with your number, I will call your name What's my name? What's my name? Give me your number

Swine Flu 05:51
The last time you had heard a single word from me I was bottom up drunk pretending that I could make you see And I find it harder with these times as I hit the pavement Just let me be. This'll be the very last time you'll hear from me as you melt in your chair and your soul begins to leave. And I find it harder with these times as I hit the pavement Just let me be. -interlude- A murder will kill a fuckin' murder and get away. He takes his time, uses his mind, just to save his face I'm a martyr, yeah just with no time to die. Thinking it's disgrace, but he's just offending his own kind o-o-ooh offending his own kind o-o-ooh not mine He's offending his own kind He's offending your mind He's offending his own kind He's offending your mind

Bodysnatcher 03:05
On a block, down the street where the man he rolls checkin' for signs of the people he'd once known. Oh the time, how she flies by snatchin' up the bodies as she fly And on that corner a man holds up his sign a cup half full of nickels and dimes to be homeless when the world's your home it's called the Bodysnatcher Politics, dirty tricks, keepin' you out they'd rather it be us not them. The rich remain so rich while the poor stay poor When educators are foreclosed the Snatcher laughs from his throne. So he moves to a place to call his own but wait a second you still owe, owe, owe. more complicated than it needs to be, but the Bodysnatcher doesn't work for free And all his loved ones have forgotten his name, a title of his own to make one day. I know you know how the story goes You know it's called the Bodysnatcher Politics, dirty tricks, keepin' you out they'd rather it be us not them. The rich remain so rich while the poor stay poor When educators are foreclosed the Snatcher laughs from his throne.

Part I 04:36
Why are we all so blue? What makes us all still move? When you came to the floor, propped up in your chair. Jokers work as a chore, we all blankly stare. And you consider those dreams done well You either half die or live and I know that you will What have we come to? treatin' everyone like we're able to make our own god, to fake our own love.

Part II 05:36

Train 04:24
Got no more love in the game (love in the game) Got no more time for this game, and it's shame...and you should feel ashamed What this has come to, another path in our path as we've passed. Speculate that it's through, this roof is about to crash, and you're still passin' the blame cause you'll be ridin' that train

about

Manatee is Majestic Man's first full length album, and it has been a long time coming. Tracking for the album began in early 2011. Three tracks from the album ("Age of No Reason," "Someday," and "What's My Name?") were released in the summer of 2011 on a split EP which also featured 2 songs from a side project called Cookin' Hearts.

All instrumental tracks were recorded live in the basement of our house over the course of a few weeks in early Spring, 2011. Vocals, some auxiliary percussion and a few lead guitar parts were overdubbed after the fact.
