Live Love

everybody saying the same shit
when things get down to it
need to let the ego subside
you do still remain if you let go of pride
darkness fades, like lions we roar
see the bird soar, check the light vibe
I’m vibin’ with you, you vibin’ with me
now that’s pride
no step I take can I take with me
as I is seen in the mirror of fire
and as the Eye opens, I begins to cease
see, I have nothing new that’s true
what does it matter if I tell you what I believe
when what I am is due to what I see
that’s me, hypocrisy and honesty
magnified heroics and wisps of vanity
and gravity got us all hurtin'
but no one’s settin when fire’s still burning
through the ether of love
got to smile at the burning sun,
love is boundless
being's timeless
blah blah blah
haha
I’ve got your back
and you’ve got mine
that’s all the world needs
punishment is just misperceived
when it’s just wisdom that's received
stretched out on Time’s rainbow
I see the colors of love
feel the unseen glow
blades of grass blow below
the stars above call out – oh
got to live love
got to live love
the hand of god holdin'
the abyss of a hole pullin'
me in, shivers in the skin
warmth down my spine
sometimes a glass of wine
sometimes a petty crime
sometimes a white lie
sometimes lies
are unjustified
sometimes a cloak to hide
what is un-whole
the voice croaks
I’m not asleep, yet I have not awoken
still developing
like a photograph, you have to step back
to see me fuller,
to see all the colors
everyone’s got the color of love.
live true
live true
the color of love
and be love
love like you
live true
the color of love
and be love
love like you

Bound To Leaves

|
bound to leaves,
then you're bound to fail
all we are is love
all that is, is love
bound to leaves,
then you're bound to fail
only at the roots
will you prevail
hate breeds hate
and love breeds love
all that is, is love
all that is, is love
bound to leaves,
then you're bound to fail
only at the roots
will you prevail

The Ladder
01:05
|

|
everyone's just a rung
on the ladder
everyone gets stepped on
everyone gets used
everyone's just a rung
on the ladder
everyone gets stepped on
everyone gets used
everyone's just a rung
on the ladder
everyone gets stepped on
everyone gets used
everyone's just a rung
on the ladder
everyone gets stepped on
everyone gets used

"and those who were seen to be dancing, were thought to be insane, by those who could not hear the music" (Nietzsche)
when I look into the mirror, what do I see?
a form of life, a form of life
it’s the image that makes me talk of destiny
speak of gravity
gives me someone to write my own story
I am nothing other than what I am
the dreams I keep, I can’t hold on to ease me
got to stay true, got to follow the plan
got to make something of this limited timespan
cocaine antic
heart be frantic
pangs of panic
let it go, ignite the manic
breathe into the trees
I take in what she gives to me
fate changes too much for me to see
I’m vibin' on what you call free
when things are constant,
I invoke destiny
I'm at ease,
free of disease,
I became strong
when you called me lonely
flying towards the sun
shadows be burned and gone
fire in my heart, fire in my soul
flying towards the sun, sun

Take Me To The Fire
05:59
|
|||
|
take me to the fire
take me to the fire
I'm tired of smoke, give me fire
take me to the fire
the eye is blind,
to the Eye of the eye
and it finds
that which is out of my sight
but I feel light
in timeless time
it's the world and mind
and the body that binds
or seems to tie
that for which I vie
from my young heart
and my foolish eyes
oh prison guard, I've found my cell
I promise I'll return...
am I not sincere?
you don't have to take me
I'll find my own way.
you don't have to take me
I'll find my own way
I was looking out,
not looking in.
and you can try to stop me
oh, you can try to knock me down
why don't you bring that knife?
make me bleed, shatter my bones
take my breath
lead me unto death
I tried to say no,
I tried to say I'm just here,
dust and bones.
but no,
there is something going on.
take me to the fire
I'll take myself.
and you don't have to take me
'cause I've got me
I cracked the cover
unto my ocean
I can feel the heat
there's orange in the ocean
I can feel the heat
cracked the cover
unto my ocean
I can feel the heat
there's orange in the ocean
I can feel the heat
to the fire we go
it's not outside
it's burning inside,
our soul

The Word
01:48
|

|
inspire the air
of my sister, my brother.
I expire
to inspire the other.
the other's just a word
don't let it twist ya
the truth is clear
when we rock and sit together
roll and flow
click into position.
lock.
reload, vision to fruition
chillin, spillin'
brimmin' with synergy
hidden mission in my heart
guiding my yet written destiny
I'm writing in red ink
and not just literally.
so one with my mind --
I don't need to think.
let my heart gush
flush my gravity
with a light through the blood drip --
lovely.
watch your concern.
cause this is more than love
light, dark, all of it below and above
metaphor
closest to capturing the way:
that I burn like the sun.
I don't need angels
girl, you're enough for me
to hear that one, universal melody.
subtle is my love
hidden are my marks
but my heart is wide and grand like Noah's ark
I take refuge
from the deluge of my being
love is what I'm seeing
Ali is what I'm feeling
impossible is nothing.
I get lost in the words
my words are all a world
pointing towards the Word
I get lost in the Word.
it was the Word
and it is the Word
the Word
The Word.

Psychic Manifesto
06:44
|
|||
|
I have chosen my choice.
I am not looking back, no
demons I will slay, with my sword
that I haven't wielded
I'm not ready
that is a lie
my delay is my conscience
teetering on the edge
of fear in my background
I am delaying the inevitable
singing like a child on this ode to indolence.
I have come from the ocean
unto the ocean I will go
I have belief in my greatness.
it doesn't mean I'm greater than you
everyone is great.
everyone's a light, waiting --
to explode.
every night I cry and I smile and I say
hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey
pause. take it easy
let the words come out naturally
shake with the silence
dance with the devil
you have your own two feet
don't have fear.
I'm talking to you
and "you" is unknown
you could be me or you could be you
song is a way to last forever
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
grace
why did you save me?
bound by this gratitude
and freedom I owe.
I'm gladly serving, to your will
my mind is just a filter for the choices I owe
hanging by a thread
and I'm shaking in the balance
got to find a way to get across this crevice
dancing on the tightrope with a thing called hope
I have belief that this is the way I go
hey, hey, hey
take me in,
as I am
or send me away
to a far away land
I don't care about fitting in
cause I am me
Amen.
hey, hey, hey
unto the ocean I will go
unto the ocean I will go
unto the ocean I will go
unto the ocean I will go...
