Away Myself
03:37

You whisper in my ear
You climb on every wall
Tension in the atmosphere
But I still come each time you call
I know you think that I'm going under but I don't
You think it's funny that I'm stuck in the box you say you won't
Start the invocation- you know that I've got to run
I've got to get away myself to away myself and aware myself
Got to get away from myself
And now it's time to get stoned
Everybody has their own, oh
but you bring a bag of weariness
I understand the pressures, man
Maybe next time I'll see more clearly
Maybe next time I'll hold you more dearly
Maybe next time
I'll get away myself to away myself to aware myself
I've got to get away from myself
Maybe next time
Maybe next time is this time
Appreciate it- you know I do
I won't abate cause I'm in love with you
Isn't it a shame
How we cause each other pain?

Turning That Page
02:40

I can't find no reason
To give you much attention
Found in the right season
but you misinterpret all my intentions
You want love and I want fun
but not the giddy type that you thought of
Just a good ol' friend to rely on
Lay my mind on, and spend some time on top of
You and me- we don't fit together
Like a forced puzzle piece, the picture's severed.
You've read enough to keep me engaged
but I just don't think we're on the same page
So I'm turning it over on you
Cause I've read it all...
This lack of affection will tell you
All about my hunger
The little nourishment that you give
just barely keeps me from going under.
Most times it's inadequate
Other times it's just weird,
Sorry to say it so crudely before I disappear,
but I can't adhere to all your kissin
You and me- we don't fit together.
Like a forced puzzle piece, the picture's severed.
You've read enough for your ripe age,
but I just don't think we're on the same page
So I'm turning it over on you,
Lick my fingertip
Don't mean to hurt you
Hope I wasn't rough
I've got this funny feeling I'm the best man you ever touched
What if I'm right?
What if I'm wrong?
The sneakin bug of love didn't bite this time,
I'm just glad that you're gone.

What do you do,
when you want to be somebody else?
How do you prove
that you're not one of them?
They've got their shallow, uniform expectation
and I know it's a waste of time
...but I like what's in my vision
though there's no companion for me
It's true, there ain't no better fishin
But they're hooked on a line of popular industry
Oh you know I see lots of beautiful women,
lord knows they ain't a-lookin' at me
I don't need sentimental,
I just want to enjoy our vibe
I swear I could fall in love with you in just five minutes time
I might be gullible,
I'm a sucker for almost everyone that I see
Oh you know I see lots of beautiful faces,
lord knows they ain't a-lookin at me.
Oh, but am I selfish to say I'd settle for less?
Another's emotion's not my focus, it's not fair that I forget
And I'm only trying to say sometimes I'm so lonely
Ain't it easy to see why I want to be somebody else?
But oh, my reel is spinning
As you choose not to walk on by
I see hope for a lovin friend as I swim in your blue eyes.
I know it's not the hustle,
maybe you feel lonesome just like me.
Oh, and as I sink into your gazes,
I think I'll make ya my baby.

Light
Illuminates your face in an otherwise pitch black room where
I am lying underneath and watching all the vapours rise toward
The moon
who creeps in through the window sheltering the love we showed it and
Soon
I'll enter into the bliss and realize this color change with
You.
I hear your thoughts
We don't need to speak
We're sharing our minds
Right here where we sleep
It might be hallucination babe,
but I know it's the truth
There's a reason that all these colors are forming around you.
Levitate
I'm riding on high through a garden of forgotten souls in
Good taste, we're floating through the maze
laughing at the names that recall
Time
While it slowly passed us by, snaking and weaving ways through our
Minds
that splash the same canvas.
We are a piece to be admired.
I hear your thoughts
We don't need to speak
Feel emotions too
all collectively
Caught in your eyes that are
Locked onto mine
When you don't blink much it's hard to stop crying
It might be hallucination, babe,
but I know it's the truth
There's a reason that all these colors
are forming around you.
Oh tell me,
won't you tell me?
Please tell me,
oh, tell me,
tell me what's good tonight
We're sharing our minds
(don't need to speak)
I'm caught in your eyes
(conscious collectively)
Loving that your mine
(right where we sleep)
(don't need to speak)
My soul never soared so high

Freedom
03:35
|
|||

They take my freedom
And cut down my tree
They steal my possession
and they say they's a-helpin me
All this oppression
From just a little green
They say it's a crime I'm committing
but it's written wrongly
I never broke no law and I never shot no one down
Everybody bend dem rule sometimes but they catch you when no one's around
Even Marcus Garvey had a gun,
And Dr. King he had a gun,
Even Mrs. Roosevelt had a gun
But they never did shoot no one
The cop find him cocaine
The judge get him some brain
From confused, convicted girl
Mind goin' insane
They're controlling the system
Break down the innocents
Bring in a new shipment of the kid's you just turned criminal
They say "we never broke no law,
We never shot no one down"
and dem say "what I seen is what I see
and it's me that run this town"
Even Marcus Garvey had a gun
And Dr. King he had a gun,
Even Mrs. Roosevelt had a gun
But they never did shoot no one
Never...
and I'm just trying to keep the peace,
just trying to set my mind at ease
but they come and they take whatever they please
I'm a victim of too much authority
I've never seen it together, I've never seen you system work
You take away means for education, pay it to prisons to treat dem like dirt.
I won't be subject to such oppression cause freedom is subject to where I lay
The idea's planted, bring justness to justice, reap the harvest, they strugglin today
I never broke no law and I never shot no one down
Every man got a right to choose what he like
Let them suffering be unbound
Even Marcus Garvey had a gun
And Dr. King he had a gun,
Even Mrs. Roosevelt had a gun
But they never did shoot no one

Got The Runaway
05:39

She was gonna treat you good, boy
She was gonna make life nice
She was gonna be your sweetheart
You could lay back, hey, sit tight
but you ain't never been no sitter
always been a rolling stone.
Numbers adding in your head
Thinking about being chained to that bed
Oh, you've got to run away
Get out before she gets a-talkin baby,
cause this life ain't quite what you thought,
you miss the one that used to piss you off
listen to that soft intuition cut it off before you're
married. Before you're married too young
Who said it would be so ugly?
Who can say you've got that right?
Who is gonna take your puppy?
Who is the loser in this fight?
Cause I see it like a first grade teacher
Learning early lessons bout love
She call what you done unfair, but it's no one's fault, you're just too young and scared.
You've got to run away
Get out before ya get a-talkin baby
Cause this life ain't quite what you thought
You miss the shit that your money bought,
keep listening to that soft intuition, take off before you're
married. Before you're married too young,
Just take some time to find where you belong.
Take some time
Find where you belong
til you get lost
and then you turn back
hold true, don't redo
up to you, break that bond and come unglued
Now she gone to treat a sweet boy
She just want to make life right
Now you see just what you need boy
Woman gone this life ain't too bright
and in your dreams at night you'll see here
Get the fuck outta me head
Keep on spinnin rolling stone,
Sleep it off till those dreams are gone
Man, you got the runaway
Get out without a lady and a baby
Cause this life is just what you want
You got that shit that used to piss you off
listen to that soft intuition cut off before you're married.

Ease
04:03
|
|||
|
I've learned to find myself these few months she's been gone from me
And when I raise my head I remember I'm worry free
No setbacks- no- just the typical soul release
With love and peace,
I treat my enemies.
You've seen a part of me
Due to this respite,
Calm,
Ease.
I've been in a bright-lit place; a well-earned vacation
I wouldn't mind goin' blind from a-staring at the sun, no.
No reason to run, no need to worry bout anyone
Love and peace,
all that I want to see
You've grown so close to me
due to this respite,
calm,
Ease.
There's so much time ahead to resolve all my thoughts
But what will not wait, meantime, I'll consider lost
At little a cost, oh, just one more bridge to be crossed.
Love and peace,
the way that it ought to be
You've seen a sincere me
due to this respite,
calm...
Please,
don't speed my world up I've got time...
enough

Love I Saved For You
05:09
|
|||
|
Reminded of your graces
I stand revitalized
Our familiar faces danced in circles round the fire
The fire of memory
That did not forget
The fire of longing;
Unextinguished
The fire of excess- overflowing
with all that I have to give
All that I have to give
With all that I have to give, I'm ready
To break out all the love I saved for you
Love I saved for you, all that love I saved for you.
We were married by distance
Chasing round the time
Say I'd fall to pieces if you touch me,
but I've never felt so alive
Remind me gently,
Sail through my head
Remind my body of how in yours I would swim
Kindly remind me of what it feels like to be home
With all that I need to live, all that I need to live
and for the one to whom I want to give
I'm ready to break out all the love I saved for you
Love I saved for you, all that love I saved for you
Open plains of sweet skin
saturate my eyes.
I feel our pores awaken to celebrate what they recognize...
and in that steam filled garden
we lit the fire
danced in circles till the smoke cloud rise.
Squished in that s'more of aroma
A new stone was turned over
and I hid it deep inside
it's all I've kept this whole time
I think we're ready, I know I'm ready to break out all
the love I saved for you, love I saved for you, all that love I saved for you.
