Tide Over (single)
Hold on baby it’s too strong calling your bluff (too strong, calling your bluff)
Cut it with a pocketknife, make it so it’s just enough
I got a bullet in the chamber, if you change your mind I’ll bus’ (Give me a reason to pull)
Quick to call her name out, hurry ‘cause I like the rush
Just need a little change (change)
A little crush (crush)
Don’t know how to feel
When I think too much (how do I feel?)
Put me in a place
Where I can open up
All I am below
From above
Oh thank god I found a tide over
To get me right over
The place where my heart broke into pieces
No I’m not over (you)
Need a tide over
Just to get me through the cost of loving you
Give it all you got but don’t give it all up
Give it all you got but don’t give it all up
Give it all you got but don’t give it all up
Give it all you got but don’t give it all up
Oh thank god I found a tide over
To get me right over
The place where my heart broke into pieces
No I’m not over (you)
Need a tide over
Just to get me through the cost of loving you

From divine direction guiding stars

Take what you’ve been given
You shine, you shine
Just take what you’ve been given
Düít f∞r Luv
Take us as we are, grant us full pardon from
the blame tha has arrived here
These cuts that I am wearing,
are the wounds that come from breaking down the cycles
Fighting this fate, equal for friend or foe
I am not your enemy let your ego go
Long here, can’t stay too long here
Rest is but a moment we’re in warning
Do it for love
Raise an inward force, a tranquil breath
that comes from knowing we belong here
These steps that I have taken
in surrender to an ancient will to pass fear
Fighting this fate, equal for friend or foe
I am not your enemy let your ego go
Hate’s strong here, I know love belong here
Let the light and dark restore the bond here
Do it for love
Take us as we are, grant us full pardon from
the blame tha has arrived here
Say it
Say it now, speak loud x 3
All you needed was a little trust
To know me
All I need was a little space
So show me
By taking the time to let it unfold
Before you let it go
Can you hold my kind
Can I unwind and share this place within
I just got to confess
Maybe time to express it
We can’t go on like this no more
We have to address it
Can’t leave it neglected
We can’t go on like this no more
We can’t go on like this no more x4
Get it off your chest now
Say it so it’s out
Speak your truth confess now
Mean it so you’re proud
Say it now, speak loud x 4
I just got to confess it
Maybe time to express it
We can’t go on like this no more
We have to address it
Can’t leave it neglected
We can’t go on like this no more
We can’t go on like this no more x2
All you needed was a little trust
Ode to a Burning Building
So wounded you hurt yourself,
So wounded you hurt your own
Started fire in your home,
To watch it burn, to watch it burn
baby burn
And your walls crumble,
And you drink kerosene
And stride stumbles
And you plead for sympathy
Oh, save me
Save me, save me
Watch me bleed
Oh, save me
Save me, save me
Watch me bleed
Ooooh
Save me
Save me
Watch me bleed
Watch me bleed
Catorce
Come to me now, not too long
I’ll bathe the body with your soul,
Fall into waiting, fall into hoping I see you soon,
Willing the moment I see you soon
If you burned in a fire,
I would hold a seance for you,
Bring you back to me
Grow you in the soil,
Harvest in the moonlight
Water you with memories
I’ll replay your ways
I’ll replay your ways
I’ll replay the ways you were with me
And I’ll choose the phrases,
From your better phases
Bring you back to me
Don’t slip the details,
Can’t stop the motion,
I can’t get, I can’t get over you
Thiningking on replay,
Stuck with the notion,
That I’m gonna, I’m gonna bring you back to me
Fall on me now but don’t be long,
Anxiously waiting your return,
Tell me how can I fight em’,
how can I teach em’ when I’m still learning
Holding your freedom,
Calling you back because I’m still yearning
And then you came in the fire
Flying like the phoenix for me
Showed me you remembered me
Left it in the soil, a stone for him to harvest,
Living with a memory
I’ll replay your ways
I’ll replay your the ways you were with me
And I’ll choose the phrases,
Of your better phases
Bring you back to me
Don’t slip the details,
Can’t stop the motion,
I can’t get over you
Thinking on repay,
Stuck with the notion
That I’m gonna bring you back to me
Study what you built and your reason
Study what you built and your reasons
I can’t get, I can’t get over you
I can’t get over you
Ion
Five fingers to my waist
I can feel your body calling
Longing for it...
Been a long time
Been a long time
Orange Lite
Pick your fill of fallen fruit,
Pluck the green from the tree
Take a sip of orange light
Feel the breeze from the stream
Tumbling down
Climb the deadland Shadow Peak
Feel the breeze at your feet
Death below it can’t be fast
Slow and steady steady, keep that
You’re steady you’re rising
You’re steady you’re rising run
You’re already late
You’ve already one
You’re taking your time ya
You cannot let go
You’re taking your time ya
You’ve already won
Reach, running
You’ve already one
Reach, running
Climb the deadland Shadow Peak
Climb the deadland Shadow Peak
Feel the breeze at your feet
Xotgun
You’ve watched it all before,
Illuminated big screens
A temperament for war,
A shotgun in the backseat
Who do you fight for?
Time to choose your home team
All things fall apart, broken from the start
Can’t nobody save you
Anyday, this could be anyday
Anyday, this could be us
Be us, be us
Someone’s shouting love,
Support the resistance
The good boys wanna fight,
Can’t forget tradition
Whose body matters here?
Land of no protection
Cowards clutch to fear,
Heroes nowhere near,
And can’t nobody save you
Anyday, this could be anyday
Anyday, this could be us
Be us, be us
Anyday, this could be anyday
Anyday, this could be us
Be us, be us
(Fight)
Fake News
Read nothing but tomorrow’s sorrow in the headlines
Suffering always sold,
Buying because you can’t feel anything
So you buy sorrow
Holding it off ‘til tomorrow
The pain of centuries, years of history
For 300 years now,
For 300 years you’ve sold sorrow
And you buy sorrow
Holding it off ‘til tomorrow
Oyá come x 4
Oyá come, teach us something all
Oyá come, teach us something all
I know that (Oyá, teach us something all)
the help will come if we...
I know that the help will come if-
Come if we call
Call,
Call,
Call!
(Don’t believe ‘em) we’re stable
(Don’t believe ‘em) we’re stable
(Don’t believe ‘em) we’re black and able
(Don’t believe ‘em) indigenous and able
I can’t cry anymore
So I take the part that was born for freedom
Lead em' through
I’ll carry you
PRTN CTRL pt.2
And when they give you your share,
will you be proud or scared?
Can you take what you’ve been given?
Lightness
Even when I’m alone, I can hear your body
Five fingers to my waist, I can hear your body longing
Longing for it
I can hear it
Keep it moving baby
Keep it moving baby
Keep it moving baby
I follow the lead, that, that, that, that
I can hear your body sending me
My, my, my-
Keep it moving baby
I can’t give away this feeling if I can’t feel it first
We won’t know the difference if we can’t learn it first
Show me and I’ll follow the lead
Ambition drives me to
Worship my temple like something holy
Worship my temple like I’m one and only
Inside rhythms baby, this will never fly
And we will never die
We will never die
We will never die
We will never die
We will never die
Inside rhythms baby, sanctify my feeding

We will never die
