I Need You
03:31
|
|||
I'm standing alone
Lost in indecisions
Lost my mind
Can't see my inner visions
I'm all on my own
My only repetition
Is bowing my head
I can't find a way
Don't know where to start
We never been apart
For more than two moments at a time
Time
Time
I'm leaving now
Ohh things are slowing down
I don't where to go
Behind I leave my heart
I need you
More than you know
Hiding behind ghosts
Chasing the shadows
Cos I want you
Give love a second chance
Playing the numbers
I deal a fair hand
Its been a long time
But I didn't see it coming
Too many chances
Too scared of running
I'm a slave to convention
And a fear of the heart
Seen all the bad things
Don't want them near me
I need you
More than you know
Hiding behind ghosts
Chasing the shadows
Cos I want you
Give love a second chance
Playing the numbers
I deal a fair hand
A new dawn
A new day
A new world
A new way
Life moves in a funny way
So why delay
Heartache decisions
Deep inner visions
Better wake up
Cos there's only one way
I need you
More than you know
Hiding behind ghosts
Chasing the shadows
Cos I want you
Give love a second chance
Playing the numbers
Deal a fair hand
Cos I need you
More than you know
Hiding behind ghosts
Chasing the shadows
Cos I want you
Give love a second chance
Playing the numbers
Deal a fair hand…

Headspace
04:39
|
|||
I was a man from a boy, no toys no Disney
No guidance in my life learning from the misery
Looking for a role someone to walk with me
Life was a challenge it was all to new to me
But if felt so old for me - I was free to roam with no dreams of my legacy
Taught to neglect psychological leprosy
Born with a debt no interest, no equity
I didn't think I was born on the earth to believe
I didn't think I was worth more than worthless
Born with a curse so I curse this
A sad way of life and living
trying to be alive in the trap that was trapping
Neglected not thriving, growing while surviving
Think back to those days
On the streets of the city we razed like hell
Street wise with our pride other side of the line
Still finding our ways we refuse to loose
We bruise we heal we begged and steal
In a blink of an eye cos we need to break the seal
Break the iron ceiling happiness and healing
humble and forgiving now I think I'm winning
Now I think I've been forgiven
Don't think I'm sinking
No shallow understanding under thinking
Don't hesitate no blinking
Cos you find your headspace
Always in the shadows of the lives of others
Those who paint pictures of their fathers and mother's
Showing me snaps of their holidays
Hoping there would be better days
Belly laughs and take aways
Supportive hearts and gently raised
But I always felt the blaze of the fire
Closed my eyes and imagined my desire
And opened them again and I know I can't pretend
I need a better friend I need a better family
I need a different plan
I have to understand me
I got no time to lose
Had to learn in life is the future life that we chose
Prepare to move obstacles
See beyond the optical
Writing new chronicles
Thinking of escape
Thinking chronological
Feel my own instinct be my own oracle
Living in my headspace
Am I in the wrong place
Wrong Place
Fighting with the atmosphere
I feel it disconnecting me
Living in my headspace
Am I in the wrong place
Fighting with the atmosphere
I feel it disconnecting me
Fighting in a world where no-one cares
To listen in
I need a guide light
Fed up of this daily flight
I'll let karma disarm you we don't live right
When it was all strange
I felt the danger the the stranger
Felt a bit deranged only wish I could be braver
Knew I had to change
Be patient be stronger
I was going under
Roar of the thunder
No one left to blame no strength to surrender
Had to choose my life and I choose forever
Im in full bloom why your gloom make your soul go
Vibe is exploding in my Jet flow
Move out the way because its time to move your toes
Moving sub-par will leave you comatose
Hypnotised, wrong time lost race
Only born in this world to be replaced or misplaced
I brace make haste don't wanna feel the ground in the space race
Things were all strange and mixed up when I was a young man
There was no joy, riding on the gun run
There was fear in my veins so scared I was acting dumb
Be too clever wasn't smart so you get done
So I learnt to shut my mouth
I was looking down from up when things were going south
I knew a few things cos I know what its about
I must be prepared to fall on my sword
Be true to myself
Be true to my word
Why should I trust when they speak the absurd
I need to sharpen up
I won't be deterred
Carve my headspace
Cos I find my own outta space
Equit the accused -
gonna quit case
Life that choose
Gonna embrace
Interstellar new galactic I be outta here
I'm going atmospheric in the atmosphere
Fighting with the atmosphere
I feel it disconnecting me

Why You Wake Me
04:20
|

Why you wake me when I was sleeping?
I was in a dream
Why you wake me when I was sleeping
Things were so serene
I was lying here
In another world. With you.
Why you wake me when I was sleeping?
All the pain was gone
Gone
(Gone)
Gone
(Gone)
Why you test me when I was speaking?
I told you, things won't be the same
Why you offer me the world?
Then leave me alone again?
This my destiny
I know I need you you
Do you need me?
This my destiny
I know I need you
When you could be so cruel
You could be so cruel
(Cruel)
You could be so cruel
(Cruel)
Dreams stay with you forever
While the truths
They fade away
I wish I could keep on dreaming
For the rest
Of my days
This my destiny
I know I need you you
Do you need me?
This my destiny
I know I need you
When you could be so cruel
You could be so cruel
(Cruel)
You could be so cruel
(Cruel)
You could be so cruel

What You Looking At?
04:24
|

What you looking at?
Do you see it?
Do you feel it?
Do you see it gushing out of me?
What you looking at?
Do you fear it?
Do you see it?
Do you feel it gushing out of me?
What you looking at?
Can you feel the light?
I go towards it can you feel me in my flight?
See it gushing out of me see the man's free
Look into my eyes and feel it gushing out of me?
Chasing shadows but I'm feeling fit
I know I'm sinking but I still have grit
They say I'm floored and I'm not perfect
But I'm content so I live with it
Waves are made from waterfalls
Come take the stage - come and see it all
See it gushing out of me?
See it gushing out of me?
So demonised I believed the fear
So self-despised that I could not get near
I kept on climbing in this atmosphere
Climbing so high so I disappear
I'll be flying high you see
Come feel me in my energy
Feel it gushing out of me?
See it gushing out of me? Me and me
I playing with my life.
(Cos I'm playing with my life)
It's a game that I like
(It's a game that I like)
I'm playing with my destiny
(can you handle it?)
It was all for me
I feel the impulse I was was feeling the buzz
I leave it slow cos I'm not in a rush
I go fast forward cos I know its a must
This life not giving and I'm feeling it
Looking for the feeling that I trust, trust, trust…
My body's empty see
Release my energy
See it gushing out of me
See it gushing out of me
I playing with my life
It's a game that I like
I'm playing with my destiny
It was all for me
It was all for me
It was all for me
See it gushing out of me an me and me
Arrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhh
Unapologetic I'm a radical
I'm a cynic and a critic so I'm ready the the fall
Don't believe your facts jackanory unicorn
Check your own bias - Who controls your thoughts?
Mental acrobatics if you listen I will talk
Your searching for dramatics we'll find the space contort
They save on all the addict its a mission so abort
But I see stars cos on this earth this life is brought
Brought for your servitude serving up your soul
Work makes you free skip time no life to go
Get deeper in your senses block out your inner space
Cos there's more than one of you so your easily replaced
I replaced the outer space in me, out of date step back
Promote a new kind of alchemy
No longer air I breath no longer do I breathe
horizontal, vertical no in between
Infinity I'm so gone
I'm so gone
I'm so gone
I'm so strong keep on going on and on
Cos I'm feel I'm gone
I'm so gone
Keep moving on and on and on so strong
Where did it go wrong?
Keep on moving on and on and on and on
I'm gone, gone, gone
Can't you see my man's free?
Can't you feel it gushing out of me?
Can you see my man's free?
Can you feel it gushing out of me?
Cos I'm seeing so freely
Can you see it gushing out of me?
Cos I feeling so steely, done…

You Reap What You Sow
04:01
|
|||
See the weather now its grey again
See the fear growing are we safe my friend?
Are we near the end?
Hear the thunder roar there will be hail again
Everything is safe I'm still here my friend
Never be this time so why pretend
Let the truth dig deep drop your own grave
Shine like a beam of light go express your rage
We're all animals go leave your cage
Now don't be afraid
Compromise yourself your comprising me your
Addicted to fear it's true if you believe it
Panic dread and stress that you don't even see it
Other views differ from the reality you see
Remember I am you
Remember you are me
Remember you were born free
Remember when you had a dream
Cos you reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow
Cos you reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
You got all the choices
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
You got all the choices
Living with the choices
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
Living with the choices
You got all the choices…
(Reap what you sow)
(Reap what you sow)
(Reap what you sow)
Living with the choices you reap what you sow
Compromise yourself your comprising me
Addicted to fear if true if you believe it
Panic dread and stress that you don't even see it
Other views differ from the reality you see
Feel the weather now it's grey my friend
Summertime shines in my head and it never ends
The earth is still green give and gather we ascend
It's the start of the change
Not the start of the end - it's the end of the start now
Don't live in fear - It will take you down now
Don't live in silence Go and make a sound now
Feet on the ground Cos you got all the choices
We see you - cos you need your own voices
Cos you reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
You got all the choices
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
You got all the choices
Living with the choices
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
Living with the choices
You got all the choices…
(Reap what you sow)

(Reap what you sow)
Living with the choices
Soul, Soul… Ahhh… Ahh
Reap what you sow now
Cos you reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
You got all the choices
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
You got all the choices
Living with your choices
Reap what you sow now
Reap what you sow now
Living with the choices
You got all the choices…
(Reap what you sow)

Wrong Place and Time

Honest Girl
Time
Promise
Dignity
Moves
Time
Time
You made it so hard
To say goodbye
Such a beautiful person
Could have been so easy
If you made me cry
It's not you
It's me
It's a cliche
I want to find myself
In my own way
Cos I love your heart
And your personality
You could have made it easy
To stay for life
(For life)
But your not the one for me
It's hard to say to to you
It's hard to stay so true
(So true)
Just the wrong
Place and time
Place and time
Just the wrong
Place and time
With you…
Don't you know I
Love your personality
Loved the way you looked
Loved the way you were nice to me
Loved the way you were so free
But it wasn't meant to be
Now it wasn't meant to be
(no no)
I could have been more honest
But I didn't lie
I thought you saw my moves
or saw it in my eyes
It's so hard to tell the truth
To you…
Just the wrong
Place and time
Just the wrong
Place and time
It could have been easy if I met you in another world
I wish I was more honest girl
I wish I had more time
Wish I had more promise girl
Wish I had more dignity
Wish I had more moves
Cos I wish I met you in another universe
(the universe's there's no rehearsal)
I wish I had more time
I wish I had more pride (I wish I had more pride)
I wish I was more honest girl
I wish I had more time (I wish I had more time)
I wish I had more pride
And I wish wish that you were
My girl

Quick claim where's my back tax I had to bring my axe
I don't want another relapse
Quick claim where's my back tax I had to bring my axe
I don't want another relapse
I feel I paid my dues
I feel I learnt from the years of abuse
I felt humanity through the goodness and badness
(Through the goodness and badness)
What can my parents say to me
How can I be the real me?
I had to power up heart so I can feel
Make up from the damage from the darkness
I felt the calmness and sadness
The excitement of life makes me persist
Why you say that to me?
Don't you know I speak uneasy?
(Don't you know I speak uneasy?)
Some things you don't digest
So don't try to feed me
Critical sense don't sink in easily
There's only one of you and me people don't into one category
Thinking Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That
Quick claim where's my back Tax - had to bring my axe
I don't wanna another relapse, lapse
Thinking Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That
Quick change where's my back Tax had to bring my Axe
Feeling Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That
I don't want another relapse, lap-sing
Feeling pride acting snide
Replacing inner vision feeling deep
You can barely respond information overload
So stay on the one track- there's only one path for you
Window seat looking out - reached the peak now you nothing to shout about
Filled with doubt and is anybody listening? listening, Listening, Listening
You shine so bright but no one sees the glow
The light has lost its energy and the shade is all so dull now dull now now now
So descend don't offend yourself it is the start of the end
Go down go and go tell your friends
This is near the end
Are you listening?
Thinking Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That
Quick claim where's my back Tax - had to bring my axe
I don't wanna another relapse, lapse
Thinking Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That
Quick change where's my back Tax had to bring my Axe
Feeling Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That
I don't want another relapse, lapsing
Your feeding corruption, creator of the silence
Fueling eruptions, you are the web the spider
Were all paying the price, people lose when you win
So we needed to fight cos you were not listening
We all paying the price for your fathers sins
Reliving all disasters taping up the scars with plasters
Memory of violence with the masters
The weight of the tears with the martyrs
No happy after's, that's fairy tale
One person's heaven another one's hell - there is more than one version of the the tell
Only cash gives the ability to sale - time to take back control
Taking back that wasn't yours cos you took it all it was no mistake
Now we take back inverse attack, rewind sideline, be sublime, be human be kind
Now we seeing we were blind before
Now we see the we don't demand but we take more
We were rich they said we poor now we been here before
We got the keys we go the door
Now we building with tools that were shared and were used and used to abuse
I refuse to refuge in my own world
Get ready for the New Sale
Get ready for the New World
Get ready for the New Tale
Another story on the step to Glory
Go for the Hard Sale
Got my secret that I wanna tell to you
Were connected but you don't it
You think that you own it
We all foretold it

Empty
No Influence
No Entity
I saw you did you see me?
Suffocating
No empathy
No regrets now its part of me
Next leaps and steps you made a star you see
I see in you that you need me
I saw it all in memories and lies
The mask you wear won't hypnotise me
I don't despise you
Do you believe me?
I grieved for you a while ago
And forgave you so I could grow
All that heart so warm and fragile
All that love – it's so hurt so be gentle
All that fades is a part of our history
All that follows comes from choices that we make
There's a price to pay
There's a price to pay
Worship yourself then your cursed
Mirrors can make you look worse
There's a price to pay
There's a price to pay
Worship yourself then your cursed
Mirrors can make you look worse
But take a look at yourself
You demand I owe you nothing
You demand too much
Do I owe you something?
Did I scream too much?
Did I leave a scar?
When I asked you things did I go too far?
No human touch never dropped your guard
Your hand spoke much
Your tone was hard
I only asked for nothing…
I only wanted to live
I needed you to know me..
My love for you, my love my gift
I only wanted you to show me
Do you forgive – cos I forgive
I have to grow go find my light
Because I need my soul…
and its beautiful
All that heart so warm and fragile
All that love – it's so hurt so be gentle
All that fades is a part of our history
All that follows comes from choices that we make
There's a price to pay
There's a price to pay
Worship yourself then your cursed
Mirrors can make you look worse
There's a price to pay
There's a price to pay
Worship yourself then your cursed
Mirrors can make you look worse
But Take a look at yourself
40 plus weeks plus a life time
I'm still alive so I guess my life's fine
No life nutrition in the pipeline
Dodging ammunition – It's a deep dive
Feel the submission – wheres my lifeline
Halfway living and I'm feeling fine
Fragile in my heart but I'm feeling kind
The Pain built the strength in me
I left the pain behind
There's a price to pay
There's a price to pay
Worship yourself then your cursed
Mirrors can make you look worse
There's a price to pay
There's a price to pay
Worship yourself then your cursed
Mirrors can make you look worse
But Take a look at yourself
But Take a look at yourself
But Take a look at yourself
I'll take at look at myself
But Take a look at yourself
But Take a look at yourself
But Take a look at yourself
I'll take at look at myself
But Take a look at yourself
