In my life, in my life
I've hit many a wall, many a wall
But I won't let that keep, let that keep me
From my path
I've walked the high road high, high road high
I've walked the low road low, low road low
I've watched them come and go, come and go
While I walk
Many people are blind, people are blind
Their eyes are closed all the time, closed all the time
They don't know where to go, know where to go
They are lost
Call out loud, call out loud
Someone will come your way, come your way
They'll hold your hand, hold your hand, hold your hand
While you walk
Hey you know I'm pretty weird, and you love it
You know I'm really weird, and you love it
Hey you know I'm pretty weird, and you love it
Hey you know I'm pretty weird, and you can't get enough of it
Hey you know I'm pretty weird, and you love it
You know I'm pretty weird, and you love it
Hey you know I'm really weird, and you love it
Hey you know I'm pretty weird, and you love it

Heaven
05:20

Look to the ground
Look to the sky
Look to the water
I know you can try
Listen to the river
Listen to the breeze
Listen to the birds
Listen to the trees
Heaven knows you
And you know heaven
Heaven chose you
And you chose heaven
Look all around you
Put your hands on the earth
Feel into her rhythm
For all it’s worth
You don’t need to search
So very far
Heaven’s inside you
It’s who you are
Heaven knows you
And you know heaven
Heaven chose you
And you chose heaven

It Lives On
04:10
|

|
You can keep them close
You can take your time
You can let them go
Just treat them kind
You might raise your voice
You might lose your cool
You might forget the reasons
But you still have all the tools
You gotta keep the love alive
We all need love to thrive
You gotta keep your tether strong
If you nurture it you can’t go wrong
You gotta keep the love alive
It lives on even after we die
If you love, it makes them strong
In our hearts is where they belong
I see you trying your best
Even though it’s rough
I know you’ll never give up
When the going gets tough
We can’t drop that rope
Even though it might be frayed
It’s not in us to lose hope
Despite being afraid
You gotta keep the love alive
We all need love to thrive
You gotta keep your tether strong
If you nurture it you can’t go wrong
You gotta keep the love alive
It lives on even after we die
If you love, it makes them strong
In our hearts is where they belong

Restart
03:15

Racism and hate
Perpetuated by the state
Capital greed
Crushing our basic needs
Terror and war
To keep everyone poor
A medical system
That only masks the symptoms
If you think you can fix these problems up really quick
You're gonna need to wake up, because our time is up
I'm sorry if this message gives you the feels
But it all needs to fail, before we can heal
I'm gonna watch the world do a restart
The change it needs is gonna break your heart
Every system we know will fall apart
The breakdown is gonna be off the chart
A new seed will grow
Where the trash used to go
Eventually you will see
That seed will become a tree
We will sit in her shade, and think of changes we made
But this I will warn, we won't be in the same form
I'm not sure I'm awake, to the shape we will take
But I guarantee it will be in harmony
I'm gonna watch the world do a restart
The change it needs is gonna break your heart
Every system we know will fall apart
The breakdown is gonna be off the chart

Intuition
04:11

I like to find my silence
It’s hard to come by it
When the world is rushing round
It’s so hard not to drown
The energy’s intense
The feelings get immense
The voices all around
Fill my head with sound
And I can see your soul
Even if you don’t
And I can hear your voice
Even if you won’t
You can’t fool me with a lie
Because I can see inside
Even if you feel blind
I can see what your mind hides
And I can see you soul
Even if you don’t
And I can hear your voice
Even if you won’t
And I can sense your passion
When you don’t let it happen
And I can feel your spirit
Even if you can’t hear it

Not Neurotypical
03:40
|
|||
|
I’m not into small talk
I’d rather go for forest walks
I can’t handle crowded places
And all the looks on your faces
I don’t wanna hang around
When the NT’s are throwing down
I’d rather chill out with the freaks
And I’ve got a soft spot if you’re a geek
I’m losing it I’m losing it
I can’t seem to get a grip
When I try to reach then I fall
Sometimes I can’t hang on at all
I’m not neurotypical
So stop being so critical
I can’t always do it your way
So don’t send me down the highway
Don’t call me if you can’t deal
I’ll only answer if you’re real
I can’t stand to waste my time
If you don’t understand this rhyme
Maybe you can appreciate
That the answer shouldn’t be to hate
Me when you refuse to see
The things that go on inside of me
I’m not neurotypical
So stop being so critical
I can’t always do it your way
So don’t send me down the highway
Don’t call me if you can’t deal girl
Don’t call me if you can’t deal

In Full Flame
03:40
|

|
Faces change
Voices remain the same
Bodies age
Spirit’s in full flame
Your bones are bones, your skin is skin
You’ll find a different stuff within
You’ll leave this house, you’ll start anew
We cycle cycle, through and through
Faces change
Voices remain the same
Bodies age
Spirit’s in full flame
You skin is skin, your bone is bone
Your body’s a temple that you call a home
You’ll hear the call of the unknown
We cycle cycle, world to world
Faces change
Voices remain the same

It's Not Your Fault
04:47
|
|||
|
It’s not the clothes that you wear
It’s not the cut of your hair
It’s not the way that you walk
It’s not the way that you talk
It’s time that they understand
Responsibility is all in their hands
We won’t stand for this no more
Time is up and we’re closing that door
I’m holding you here, in my heart
Hoping that this is a start
To better times, better terms and better understanding
I’m holding you here, in my heart
Hoping that this is a start
To better times, better terms and better understanding
You know it’s not your fault
You know it’s not your fault
You know it’s not your fault
It could never be, it would never be your fault
You’re not the one who’s to blame
Even though he made you carry his shame
You deserve the space to heal
The pain that he caused is real, it’s so f**king real
I’m holding you here, in my heart
Hoping that this is a start
To better times, better terms and better understanding
I’m holding you here, in my heart
Hoping that this is a start
To better times, better terms and better understanding
You know it’s not your fault
You know it’s not your fault
You know it’s not your fault
It could never be, it would never be your fault

Go Get It
04:21
|

|
You've gotta take your life by the reigns
Nobody's gonna hold them for you
Walk on, walk on, and hold your head high
The light within your heart will shine through
Go get what you want
But make sure it's what you need
Go get what you want
But make sure it's what you need
You want it, you want it
But how you gonna get there?
If you can't take responsibility
March on, march on, don't look back
Manifest your destiny
Go get what you want
But make sure it's what you need
Go get what you want
But make sure it's what you need
Go get what you want
But make sure it's what you need

Dystopia
02:34

Hey hey hey
Hear what I say
I don’t know about tomorrow
So take hold of today
Hey hey hey
Come in and stay
You don’t look like someone
Who put their free mind away
It’s so dystopian out there
Don’t you dare hold back in fear
There’s distractions everywhere
They don’t want your sight clear
Hey hey hey
Put your smartphone away
Get the f**k off the blue light
Even just for a day
Hey hey hey
Free your mind today
Ride the dopamine wave
And stop being a slave
It’s so dystopian out there
So many people are unaware
If you put it down their plan will fail
And the sunlight will prevail

Togetherness
04:54
|

|
Why don’t you come down off that podium
So you can see your true worth
Divine currency never trades in anger and division
The spirit in us all she values love, she values love
You might be fooling someone but you’ll never fool me
If you’re trying to use hate in your love recipe
And I’m telling you if you’re mad
Give love love love
And I’m shouting if you’re sad
Give love love love
And I’m saying if you’re afraid
Give love love love
Hear me callin, if you’re frustrated
Give love love love
Don’t you see you only get back what you give
There are no exceptions
If you want peace you must be peaceful
If you want tolerance you must be tolerant
If you want togetherness you must come together
If you want generosity you’ve gotta give
If you want kindness you need to share it
If you awant compassion open up your heart and love
If you want the world to change here’s what you can do
You can start by healing up the hurt that’s deep inside of you
And I’m telling you if you’re mad
Give love love love
And I’m shouting if you’re sad
Give love love love
If you’re afraid
Give love love love
And I’m sayin if you’re frustrated
Give love give love
And I’m telling you if you’re mad
Give love love love
And I’m shouting if you’re sad
Give love love love
If you’re afraid
Give love love love
And I’m sayin if you’re frustrated
Give love give love

Another World
03:33

I imagine newfound futures
Anxieties looping, storylines sutured
Every little detail courses through my head
And I’m sure it’ll be like that til the day I’m dead
Despite all the ruckus Id never wish for
A mind that would turn me into a bore
I wonder what it’d be like to have more focus
For me it really seems like hocus pocus
Sometimes its like looking through a veil
When the outcomes I picture seem to fail
How many dimensions do I create
If I do not accept my fate
How many dimensions do I create
If I do not accept my fate
Random sets of neurons firing
It feels like I don’t quite have the right wiring
But then I find myself writing this song
And I realize that nothing’s ever been wrong
It doesn’t serve me to focus on my flaws
When they’re the flip side of gifts that are raw
So wipe that smug look off your face
This is what its like to be part of the human race
Sometimes its like looking through a veil
When the outcomes I picture seem to fail
How many dimensions do I create
If I do not accept my fate
How many dimensions do I create
If I do not accept my fate
I cant pinpoint what it is about you
But I sure don’t like being told what to do
I cant pinpoint what it is about you
But I sure don’t like being told what to do

When You're Wrong
04:23
|
|||
|
Sometimes talking is a convenient mask
(When we’ve got too much pride to ask)
When we don’t listen we don’t need to change
(But failure to do so leaves us in chains)
Come on come on nobody’s got all the answers
(When you’re out of information it won’t hurt you to ask her)
You can preach you can preach but if you want to teach
You have to know when to plant new seeds
It’s always right to admit when you’re wrong
Being stubborn is not the same as being strong
Knowing what you don’t know is very wise
Pretending to be perfect is a poor disguise
The more you know the less you know
(The less you know the more you grow)
Let it flow let it flow, in humility it will bestow
(All the concepts you to try to forgo)
Turn around and view the cosmos with new eyes
(I promise that you’ll never cease to be surprised)
When you decide you’ll never be master
Of the perfection you’ve long sought after
It’s always right to admit when you’re wrong
Being stubborn is not the same as being strong
Knowing what you don’t know is very wise
Pretending to be perfect is a poor disguise

No I Won't
06:09
|

|
No I won’t take your prescribed medication
Your cocktails of poison and lies
I will not stand by while you push me
To curl up in ignorance and die
I’m sorry but I’m a free thinker
I’ve not forgotten how to analyze
I won’t believe your propaganda
I can see the truth with these eyes
No I won’t do what you say
Not today
I know you all think I’m crazy
But one day you’ll find out I’m right
The truth will hit you in the face
But it might be too late to fight
No I won’t do what you say
Not today
But I’ll be a wisdom keeper
And I’ll keep the medicine alive
I’ll be here with this sacred knowledge
If you’ll listen you just might survive
No I won’t do what you say
Not today
