Rise 03:34
lyrics

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 04:39

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

Losing You 03:46

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 04:28

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

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

Astral Tenements 03:45
lyrics

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
