Brainstorm
02:49
|

|
Clarity was missing
Life was underblissing
But that was all I knew
For my own protection
A change in my direction
Running to the truth
I know I’ll get there soon
It felt like a brainstorm
A simple awakening
I’m drawn to where it’s taken me
It felt like a brainstorm
Some kind of epiphany
The weight was lifted off of me
I anticipated
A tragedy awaited
It woke me from my sleep
Suddenly I’m dreaming
Subconsciously I’m scheming
Swimming to the deep
The sun eclipsed the moon

Scared
03:11
|
|||
|
You only hear what you want
And not the truth I’m speaking
But I need to tell it like it is
So I can love again
But no
The love we had was just too much to bare
So much of you you didn’t want to share
You’re kind of scared
You had to go and fuck this up again
And now you tell me we’re not even friends
I think you’re scared of me right now
You only do what you want
And not a damn thing for me
I’m patient but I’m giving in

Story Of You
03:54
|

|
Yesterday when I lay sleeping
Saw you in my lucid dreaming
Tried to catch you in the forest
But your hand slipped out of my fist
Then the forest turned to flowers
And the day dissolved in hours
Your hair smelled of my ambition
Your kiss stole my indecision
I said sorry to you
Why can’t you say you’re sorry too
I just want to know the truth
You do what you do and that’s the story of you
I awoke to blaring sirens
And the desperate city crying
I knew I had to change the story
So you’d tilt your heart towards me
You’re the drug that keeps me going
Nothing happened for a reason
Underneath our tangled love affair
There’s a fire burning in the air

Broken Puzzle
03:44
|
|||
|
You don’t like what you see
But it won’t bother me
We’re both looking at the same thing
See it so differently
Here’s a hand you can take
Or a heart you can break
You can see it as a sure thing
Or see it as a mistake
We are two people with the same intentions
Why can’t we disagree?
We are two pieces of a broken puzzle
Somehow we still fit perfectly
We are survivors of a tragic story
But you rescued me
Come up short as a friend
You won’t break when I bend
Sometimes our paths will go in strange directions
But always meet in the end
We are two people with the best intentions
Why can’t we disagree?

Lost
04:07
|

Some say that life without love is empty
But I don’t know
I’ve managed to make it this far along
Even I can find it hard living with me
On my own
Feels like I’m living my life through songs
I was stuck in a rut for a while and I felt
I was good for nothing
I had dreams, yeah they needed to be fulfilled but
Suddenly they’re missing
They got lost
One day I realized it was envy
That held me down
I wanted everyone’s life to be my own
I’m having trouble realizing who I should be
But all I know
I’m taking it one song at a time
I got up dusted myself off
I made a choice and through my voice
I would use these songs to right my wrongs
I found the thing that lets me just get lost

Love Locked Away
03:54
|
|||
|
You know your love was locked away
But no one really cared
You find it interesting to say the least
When something special burns small
After the rise comes the fall
Something special burns
Do you have my back?
Yeah I need to know
We’re under attack
So far you’re a no show
You know your love was locked away
You know your heart could heal in time
If only someone cared
Balanced on a fine line
Between competent and scared
You find it interesting to say the least
When something happy burns sad
Just when you thought you had it all
Something happy burns
Keeping my cards close to my chest
Protecting my heart
Bullet proof vest
Even in the day keep the lights on baby
Never take your finger off the trigger when aiming

Throw Away
03:17
|
|||
|
Stretch it like an elastic
Push it right to the edge
I was under the impression
You were under influence
So take the pain over pleasure
Feel the hate before you love
And remember how it felt to be broken
Before you go and hurt someone
Don’t you throw your heart away
Never let it get away
This will leave its mark on your soul
Just like concrete stamped by a shoe
Even after years have passed by
The image of it still rings true
It’s tough for us to even talk about
Because when we do you just turn cold
But how am I supposed to believe you
When I’m the only one you’ve told
|

I'll Pretend
03:33
|
|||
|
I wish I had died
Long before we got lost
What they said was true
Nothing comes without a cost
Is it me or you
Or just something we’re going through
Standing on a cliff
Lean to see over the edge
Floating through the air
Physically there’s nothing left
Wonder where we’ll be
When we reach eternity

Weed Song
02:49
|
|||
|
I love you so much
You love me more
Love is a revolving door
One minute you’re inside
The next you’re out
Never will I ever doubt
You never know when God will call you home
So may your life be sweet as honeycomb
Be good to your body
Be good to your mind
And smoke weed all the time
Be good to each other
Let love be blind
Remember to smoke weed all the time
Christ is my saviour
Allah is Jah
Buddha got some knowledge for yah
We can live together
You don’t have to scoff
I know that we can pull this off
Did you know when your brother’s feeling down
You are the one who can turn his world around
