It’s starting to get stale
I think the plan is gonna fail
I know it’s time to move on
I can feel it slipping
Beneath my feet
I gotta get on with it
Before I get washed away
Before we get washed away
Before we get washed away
I’d like to ride the tide
The hell out of here
The hell out of here
It’s time to go
Can’t be too slow
It’s time to go
I think you know
I’m packing up
I gotta go, ready or not
The time has come for Babylon to fall
We’re gonna get going now
The show’s been nice but the curtains have fallen
And we’re grabbing our coats and heading out the door
Before we get washed away
I’d like to ride the tide
The hell out of here
The hell out of here

Being Human
05:15

Pick up the telephone
No connection, line is dead
Walk to the corner
Nothing behind, nothing ahead
Spinning in circles
Round and round and round
Shouldn’t be this difficult
Trying to make a sound
I’m staring into the void
Feels like mercury retrograde
Is happening every day
Again and again and again and again and again
This isn’t going to go away
Maybe it’s the price we pay
For being human
Losing to isolation
Teetering on the brink
I can blame the world around me
Or I can change the way I think
Feels like mercury retrograde
Is happening every day
Again and again and again and again and again
This isn’t going to go away
Maybe it’s the price we pay
For being human
Feels like I’m going insane
What is happening to my brain
These days these days these days
This isn’t going to go away
Maybe it’s the price we pay
For being human
Being human

Head Down
03:52
|

There’s a pathology
In this symbology
Don’t you see
It’s preventing our unity
So many of them blindly follow
The words and rules that are hollow
Head down
Look to the ground
I don’t wanna look up
For fear I’ll be found
Head down
They’re all around
Hush now
Don’t make a sound
We’ll build up build up
We'll rise up rise up
You better wise up wise up
Cause we ain't gonna give up
Head down
Look to the ground
I don’t wanna look up
For fear I’ll be found
Head down
They’re all around
Hush now
Don’t make a sound
So many of them blindly follow
The words and rules that are hollow

Fizzle Out
05:10
|
|||
Directness fails me
So I write poetry
Hoping you'll see me
Cause I'm afraid of losing everybody
I am choking
On your expectations for normalcy
I don't know if I will ever be
What you want me to be
Why can't you just tell me
What you want me to do
I can't figure it out anymore
And it makes me feel so blue
Ya ya ya ya yo
Why does it fizzle out?
Ya ya ya ya yo
Why does it fizzle out?
Why is it that
I can say what I mean
And you read it otherwise
But you spin me riddles
Meaning implied
To me they just feel like lies
So I'm left standing here
Confused and alone
Wondering if there's something
For which I need to atone
Why can't you just tell me
What you want me to do
I can't figure it out anymore
And it makes me feel so blue
Why can't you just tell me
What you want me to do
I can't figure it out anymore
And if makes me feel so blue
I am trying so damn hard
To exist in harmony
But this constant friction suggests
That the problem, is probably me
Ya ya ya ya yo
Why does it fizzle out?
Ya ya ya ya yo
Why does it fizzle out?
I'm just trying to be me
I just wanna be me
I'm just trying to be me
I just wanna be me

Birds of a Feather
03:55
|
|||
It hasn’t always been easy over all the years
While we’ve been working through all our darkest fears
But I’ll always be grateful that we put in the time
The best things in life are always worth the climb
I want to grow old with you
Hold my hand
Let’s walk in the garden together
I want to grow old with you
Walk beside me
Let’s keep this alive forever
I want to grow old with you
Let’s plant the seeds
And watch them bloom together
I want to grow old with you
Your soul matches mine
You know we are birds of a feather
Ahh
I don’t know what I’d do if you left me here
You’re my foundation and I think that’s pretty clear
You’re the only one who understands me well
Without you this world would be a living hell
I want to grow old with you
Hold my hand
Let’s walk in the garden together
I want to grow old with you
Walk beside me
Let’s keep this alive forever
I want to grow old with you
Let’s plant the seeds
And watch them bloom together
I want to grow old with you
Your soul matches mine
You know we are birds of a feather
Ahh

Burn
05:08
|
|||
I've nearly been there
But you got further
I've never hit rock bottom
But it's been worse, much worse
It can be so unforgiving
Yet freeing at the same time
When we get knocked down
It's how we learn to climb
Hey you, I see you under there
Just wanted to reach my hand out
And let you know I care
I can help you move some rubble out of the way
Maybe then you'll have room
To seize this day
Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn
And then you're reborn
Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn
And then you're reborn
I see your hands are torn and tired
I can see the places where your body has caught fire
I can't imagine what it's like to be inside you
But I can promise that I'll always be beside you
Hey you, I see you under there
I wanted to let you know that people up here care
Here we are, waiting with outstretched arms
I promise you that we mean you no harm
Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn
And then you're reborn
Burn, I see you burn, I see you burn
And then you're reborn

IDK (feat. IDDQD)

I am wandering through the mists of Rahu
I am wandering through the mists of Rahu
I am searching but I don’t know what I’m looking for
I’ve learned so much but my soul yearns for more
I am searching but I don’t know what I’m looking for
I’ve caught a glimpse of something I can’t ignore
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know where I’m going
I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know where I'm going
I’ve never been so lost in the fog
Nor have I been so drawn to a cause
I don’t know when I’ll find my feet on the earth
But this feels like the pain of rebirth
I am wandering through the mists of Rahu
I am wandering through the mists of Rahu
I am searching but I don’t know what I’m looking for
I’ve caught a glimpse of something I can’t ignore
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know where I’m going
I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know where I'm going
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I will find my way

A Friend Who Knows
05:35
|
|||
I sit alone
Here in this crowded room
No one can know
The pain I feel
The longing for
The winds of change
To blow me
Away from here
My spirit aches
For a friend who knows
Who can see me
In the dark
Maybe I’ll keep
This pain for now
Until I find
A kindred heart
And I keep
And I keep
I'm longing for a friend who knows
A friend who can see
I'm longing for a friend who knows
A friend who knows me
I’m treading water
But it’s getting rough
The water splashes
Over me
I need a boat
To carry me away
I’m waiting for
Someone who sees
I'm longing for a friend who knows
A friend who can see
I'm longing for a friend who knows
A friend who knows me

Off the Floor
03:44
|
|||
My heart it feels like it will implode
My mind is working on overload
Sometimes it's all too much to bear
Every now and then, I wish I didn't care
My god I don't know if I can take it anymore
Sometimes I forget what this all is for
When I get so closed in, it's hard to see the door
But the light in you helps me get back up
Off the floor
It seems that I'm always paddling upstream
Some days all I wanna do is dream, dream, dream, dream
Why does it feel like there's no rest in sight
I need a sign that everything will be alright
My god I don't know if I can take it anymore
Sometimes I forget what this all is for
When I get so closed in, it's hard to see the door
But the light in you helps me get back up
Off the floor

Help Me

(Help me)
I can't believe all the pain we've endured
May we be cured
I can't believe all the pain we've endured
May we be cured
(Free me)
We can receive all the love in the world
We can give free all the love in the world

Back to You
04:08
|

You're a lover
You're a fighter
You make our lives a little lighter
Your compassion
Your caring heart
It keeps other from falling apart
You're overflowing
Yet there's a knowing
That you need kindness too
So hey love warrior
Take this reminder
You couldn't give all of this without you
So give a little time
Give a little space
Give a little of yourself
Back to you
So give a little time
Give a little space
Give a little of yourself
Back to you
Your work is beauty
It's your soul's duty
But don't forget that you matter too
While you foster healing
Sometimes you're bleeding
Lightworkers need medicine too
So give a little time
Give a little space
Give a little of yourself
Back to you
(Yeah)
So give a little time
Give a little space
Give a little of yourself
Back to you

Like a Woman
06:24
|
|||
You don’t like when I express my feelings
You don’t like when I assert my needs
You don’t like when I voice my opinions
You don’t like when I dig real deep
You’d like it if I spoke when spoken to
You’d like it if I stayed in my place
You’d like it if I didn’t cause trouble
You’d like it if I was invisible
Heaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of you
Heaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of youHeaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of you
Heaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of you
Tough luck im not going anywhere
Tough luck you’ll have to learn to put up with me
Tough luck I don’t need your approval
I was put on this good earth to be free
Heaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of you
Heaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of you
Heaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of you
Heaven forbid I act like a woman
In front of you
Heaven forbid, heaven forbid
Heaven forbid
Heaven forbid, heaven forbid,
Heaven forbid
