Rise

I will fight your war, it's what you're asking for
You slither to my door, just so I could find
Snake swallowed your spine, we are not just fine
We are different beings, separate at the seam
The man you wish to see, has been lost at sea
Drifting in the deep, the surf my soul to keep
I will fight your war, it's what you're asking for
You slither to my door, just so I could find
We rise and fall, we're up we're down
What matters overall is that we swim not drown
Keep clear sight and keep clear head
What's done is done, and better than said
We rise and fall, we're up we're down
What matters overall is that we swim not drown
Keep clear sight and keep clear head
What's done is done, and better than said
Tempting me for more, there's poison in your core,
You're washed up on the shore, writhing trying to find
Peace to soothe your mind, your shadow never shines
There's blood in your teeth, shortening your reach
The lesson we don't teach, living without sleep
Marching while offbeat, returning from defeat
I will fight your war, it's what you're asking for
You slithered to my door, just so I could find
We will rise

Lose it let it free
The music's it talks to me the music's gonna talk for me
Foolin' by the sea
I please let it be I hear your words in the breeze
There's no telling how we got here the message here is so clear
My days have no storms it's you that keeps me warm
Day by day and drink by drink I'm counting up the ways to keep us linked
You wait for me and I will make it home
If you're feeling like I am you and I we got this whole thing planned
When it's just you and me doing as we please
Lose it let it free
The music's it talks to me the music's gonna talk for me
Foolin' by the sea
I please let it be I hear your words in the breeze
I'm robbin sun / Robinson like Smokey in daylight hours
Embracing every raindrop drained from your summer showers
Stealing ultraviolet light transferring energy into a dark night
I save my breath and travel to the Channel Islands
To simply capture an image of you smiling
My vocab's displaced you leave me miming
Queen of the slipstream Aztecs and the Mayans
Night by night I think and think
Numbering my blessings in between each blink
Imprinting invitations in psychedelic ink
Sharpening my blades to glide up in your rink
Music is love and love is life so life is music and now let us take flight
Sail into the outer rim daylight dims
You're the needle in my vinyl as my mental spins
Lose it let it free
The music's it talks to me the music's gonna talk for me
Foolin' by the sea
I please let it be I hear your words in the breeze

Burn Glow

I'm not trying to make this easy for you
But I know a good thing when I see one or two
It's a simple disposition in times it's hard to listen
Proceed with ease when the grass starts hissing
You break down these stone walls
Shake the foundation of these ancient halls
In a city a hidden without any water
You bring the rain when all our gods falter
I see you in the night after labor through the day
Help me find a way, shelter in a cave by the bay
My instinct my intent is clear
Walking in the moonlight I've got nothing to fear
We made time we made the hourglass
Why wonder why these days are fleeting fast
If I had any gold it'd be time that I'd buy
Underneath a crescent sky feeling so high
If I'm the sun you're the moon some days we'll be together
If I fall and you jump we'll float away two feathers
If I burn and you glow you'll be with me forever
White flames and blue notes
You bury me but I rise above
I'm never gonna falter and I'm always gonna fly
We're going downhill and we still do not decline
You've never seen me ignite I'm dancing with wolves and I'm into the wild
Dark of night partial light feel the glow from the fire
My desire make believe fighting on to keep my dreams
We're staying strong and we're loving each other
The glowing of light that we have discovered
I've seen the way that we last together
A burning fire in stormy weather
If I'm the sun you're the moon some days we'll be together
If I fall and you jump we'll float away two feathers
If I burn and you glow you'll be with me forever

Now that you're gone we must move on
Up in the clouds for now so long
You don't seem gone I see you around
Path I am on wind that surrounds

Losing You

Losing you
And I'm fine with it kick rocks we're through
Losing you
Hit the road jack nothing you can do
Losing you
Yea I'm done with this now I'm through
Losing you, losing you, losing you, I'm losing you
Fly n drop shit from the sky like a sparrow would
Repping my kingdom like a pharaoh should
Hitting your head just like an arrow could
Badder than the bones of George Thorogood
Yo I'm rolling stoned so I'm aging well
Father of the devil so I'm raising hell
Under voodoo or some Cajun spell
Sipping alligator blood from a Haitian well
I'm a biker in the carpool, no cares to offer
Down with heavy metal but don't fuck with coppers yo
Elevated in times, permeate front lines
You can walk through life but let me run mine
Losing you
And I'm fine with it kick rocks we're through
Losing you
Hit the road jack nothing you can do
Losing you
Yea I'm done with this now I'm through
Losing you, losing you, losing you, I'm losing you
Life is algebra duke, simplify
Then watch me rock it like October Sky
Your mind is money but don't monetize
Vegetable rappers about to be euthanized
Happy mistakes create lush greenery
Bob Ross flow painting lines easily
I'm a side road rolling on an eroding cliff
Mad dangerous, kerosene and a spliff
In the cantina sipping Qui-Gon gin
Then I'm stepping in your tulips like Tiny Tim
This is battleground music for those in tune with it
This is background music for the less intuitive
Losing you
And I'm fine with it kick rocks we're through
Losing you
Hit the road jack nothing you can do
Losing you
Yea I'm done with this now I'm through
Losing you, losing you, losing you, I'm losing you

Traffic

|

Passed by a cyclist I am not liking this
Stuck between two at five while I am writing this
Nobody move somebody got hurt
A million rubberneckers making me late for work
Steve Winwood in the tape deck playing Low Spark
I'll never see my home with the transmission in park
Thumbing through the audio looking for the answer
The world's a body and human's are a cancer
At this rate this tortoise loses the race
This is the world's worst automobile chase
Refrain from saying stop and smell the roses
I'm stopped inhaling smoke as a lung closes
Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down
Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down
Our acidic environ(ment) is free falling in atrophy
Apathy woven in American tapestry
My movements static, losing bats in my attic
Leaving San Diego for this is straight madness
Put your lights on listen to Santana
That No Doubt chick was right this shit is bananas
In the Temple of Doom and I am Indiana
The city air smells like Brian Fantana
I attest amidst this quest I detest
Pollution population all in excess
Eternally my kicks are on and off the gas pedal
My mood's morphing into Norwegian black metal
Swerving like a sloth I'm about to blow my gasket
Dying inside I'd rather sleep in a casket
Ready to shift to park and start to walk
Suddenly we're moving then we stop
Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down
Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down

No Signal
02:31

Cruising in mi auto I slam mi break
Transport in front has no decency
Air in his head silly problem he make
He no signal he no signal for heaven's sake
Now mi no irie my heart it race
Common courtesy no time it takes
Manejando en mi car is a dangerous game
You best to let me know if you changing lanes
No signal
No signal no signal throw me in a rage
Me wanna punch face but the lock me in a cage
No signal no signal no communicate
The universe break please no duplicate
No signal
Mi wanna watch game but there's heavy rain
Mi dish fall down smash mi window pane
Mi wanna come over mi ring your cellular
Mi signal mi signal dropped the call
Tell me dream girl what's your frequency
Mi wanna come over and fill your vacancy
Communication good for our society
But if all signal's right big brother spy on me
No signal
No signal no signal throw me in a rage
Me wanna punch face but the lock me in a cage
No signal no signal no communicate
The universe break please no duplicate
No signal
Radiolé we bangin through your speaker
Mi signal it was hot and now mi signal getting weaker
Technology dependency should cause a terror
Because if all signal's lost it's the end of our era
No signal
Mi signal gets lost deep in the mountain
This provides me with no problem
Mother earth gives us soul connection
If we breathe her air we owe her protection

Rise and fall we're up we're down
(Rise and fall)
Coming up and holding ground

Bright light new life

New day right place

Rise and fall we're up we're down
(Rise and fall)
Coming up and holding ground
(Coming up)
Bright light new day
(Bright light)
New life right place

Astral Tenements
03:45
|
|||
Get barrelled like Jameson lighting up like Edison
Needing more dead presidents beating bars belligerent
The mic is my adrenaline moving crowds like Bedouins
Cuff links pink elephants cradle to the skeleton
Thinking like a gentleman coasting on the elements
Drinking like an Irishman toasting for the sentiment
Dosing out the medicine moments before I jettison
Towards my astral tenement transcending like Emerson
Stuck between two sediments filtering through evidence
We supplied the Taliban building our predicament
Hail Mary hallelujah tickle the belly of Buddha
Think deep like scuba DJ's don't break 'em like they used to
If you don't stop to follow you know I'm gonna lose ya
If you don't get to know me you know I'm gonna fool ya
Philosophy is what you see what you see isn't reason
Fleeting in a flaring fashion from her origin
An abode she'd never dare return
Rising on our horizons a prideful lion no longer waiting turns
Her journey's intangible influencing stars that blind
Redefine notions of mind in our ever expanding space and time
She collides with pains creating reflection exquisite electromagnetic convection
A tsunami crashing on the shores of my iris utopic dreamlands veils surveilled by tyrants
Her reflection stems from astral tenements illuminating unpleasant pestilence
Truth eviscerated by paralyzed perception misconception is protected acceptance

Healer
04:46

I go down to see my friends into the valley below
I get out to see my friends on the mountain in the snow
We meet the healer man there you can see the pain that's in his face
They don't like him this society they threw him out the gates
The war rage on and the other one he lines his pockets deep
At your expense he'll gift you his grins from your despair he will reap
The other side is so full of light so bright you blind yourself
But open your eyes you'll see your demise sitting right there on that shelf
Oh I understand
It's time we break these chains healer man
Wondering why
We bury ourselves underground
Still we'll rise
With this love we found
I wanna see my friends across the river and the states
I wanna see them again but we've all made our mistakes
I met the healer man here and through the smoke around his face
He whispers soft and he whispers only once I'll be gone if you don't change
The other man offers his hand and now the river's running deep
You'll drown no you can't get out on the rocks below you'll sleep
The other side's just so full of lies telling you it can last
But open your eyes you'll see your demise at the bottom of that glass
Oh I understand
It's time we break these chains healer man
Wondering why
We bury ourselves underground
Still we'll rise
With this love we found

Run to the Moon
04:07
|

Here's to the ode that'll go unknown
I'm an aerial in orbit hurdling home
All of the time all in my mind it's only you I find
And I'm a shadow burning bright sunset sunrise
I run to the moon but you're in the stars
Still I run to see you less far
You took away my sorrow
More than yesterday less than tomorrow
Here's to you sailing away
Off through the midnight blue into the fray
Here's to the song we sing when skies grow cold
I had all the love in the world still it's hard to show
I run to the moon but you're in the stars
Still I run to see you less far
You took away my sorrow
More than yesterday less than tomorrow
