Walk Through Me 03:34
lyrics
Take me down to your rivers on the weekend Drop in the waters, 'til I'm swimming in your love Without a sound, I slipped into your evening Breathe me in; I'm the coolness in your air You only call my name when you feel your body weaken My mind tells me, you got much more to spare Deciding To keep hiding And I don't mind it If you walk through me I taste the air in the temple of our familiar Where once we possessed the secret of joy Bastard emotions are pearls that dropped into the sea Embraced by the gifts of the past, leaves me wanting more Out of sight, I slipped into your daylight Tease me with your sense of optimism Denying You'll be relying And I don't mind it If you walk through me Dare to tread the path to an unknown tomorrow Bravery seeks a place among our sorrows Stand up and be counted with the wreckage of the night that follows A requiem of words is hard to swallow Deciding To keep hiding And I don't mind it If you walk through me Denying You'll be relying And I don't mind it If you walk through me

Peach 03:40
lyrics
Chaotic calamity collides with calm composure So easily, you can die from overexposure Unevenly, the will is propelled to desperate acts of soul Regeneration! Balance the sea with the earth Simplicity is sublime to the undefined mind Light feels his rebirth! I beseech you discreetly I repeat Replete with back-beat and the need to plant seeds Earth sun and rain Wind storm and pain Can drain your brain if you don't retain a frame of reference There was a young boy living on an island His evil aunts never had him smiling His only friend was a tiny spider And in a giant peach is where he chose to hide James, James, James! In defense of the defenseless, my best guess to is stress Change, change, change! Evolution revolution restitution Is the solution to the pollution of a collective heart I beseech you discreetly I repeat Replete with back-beat and the need to plant seeds Earth sun and rain Wind storm and pain Can drain your brain if you don't retain a frame of reference

Just Ain't Enough 03:15
lyrics
Tell me that you understand Takes more than a smile to be a friend Love and honor and protect the soul Keep it safe for years untold Strength in the end is all you need Catastrophic thoughts will mesmerize Hate and rage will hypnotize Everybody can groove at the same time So open up your heart and free your mind Shake off the chains, you know you can Hugs ain't enough Words ain't enough Love ain't enough Just ain't enough Sometimes I feel that nothing is real when Crying ain't enough and lying ain't enough but Check all that stuff when nothing I say is Just enough 'cause it just ain't enough Simple solutions will save the day Rip and tear those cobwebs away The heart is a muscle with a mind So don't think you're wasting time Wishing upon a star No matter how near or far Faith in yourself is all you need I said, faith in yourself is all you need Hugs ain't enough Words ain't enough Love ain't enough Just ain't enough

Between Words 04:16
lyrics
When I look to the sky, it Opens up and falls down No more beautiful stars singing Out in harmony The moon and all its light, bathes My mind when I chew my herbs Back down on earth, I see all the tragedy In common moments, That precious space Between words Then I saw a comet that was so bright and Beautiful My eye dropped a tear into a cup that was Already full That precious moment Between words Now the light goes down, I see my eyes open to The evening sky The moon it keeps on smiling, but sometimes it Looks like a frown Now I'm back on earth, I spend all my time On my back Then I sing a song and I start to cry That precious moment Between words

Michael Thought He Could Fly 05:41
lyrics
Many, many years ago A mighty captain roamed the skies He was just a little boy That took many by surprise He lived for his imagination And told everybody to kiss his behind Michael thought he could fly He knew he'd touch the sky Closed his eyes, spread his wings And he sailed away Every cloud knew his name Now he's much older baby He's got a family of his own His little boy is just like he used to be Some say he's like a clone Superman cape, a bowl of fruit loops And a Saturday morning cartoon Sometimes you can't forget how it all started Michael thought he could fly He knew he'd touch the sky Closed his eyes, spread his wings And he sailed away Every cloud knew his name

Shade of Melancholy 04:33
lyrics
There's a deep blue melancholy Hiding inside my head The weight of the world's upon me But I just smile instead What am I doing? Crying in the night Can I tell the world How I feel inside? Sing a song Write a word Everything is gonna be alright We laugh at all the folly 'Cause folly disguises pain I don't want to tell the story But it's screaming inside my brain The doctor gives me pills to keep me happy But I still cry in the night Can I tell the world How I feel inside? Sing a song Write a word Everything is gonna be alright

Renewal 03:02
lyrics
Having used every subterfuge To shake you, lies, fatigue or even that of passion, Now I see no way but a clean break. I add that I am willing to bear the guilt. When I cry and I cry You nod assent. Autumn turns windy, huge. A clear vase of dried leaves vibrating on and on. When I try and I try You don't know me, but I know you, All the things you say, and the things that you do. Bitter is the contradiction of an over-ripened fruit, With fruitless gains in our endless pursuits. When I try and I try We sit watching, as love buries us, To the hilt, blinding my third eye I don't want anymore pain in my life Renewal comes when we end the strife. When I try and I try

Your Golden Rule 03:38
lyrics
There's no denying the undeniable There's no relying on the unreliable There's no sleeping on the unsleepable There's no creeping on the uncreepable Take your golden rule and put it far away I am not your fool, I will not dismay I speak for the meek, the meek are not weak The truth is what we seek Listen to the words that I speak There's no believing the unbelievable There's no achieving the unachievable There's no teaching the unteachable There's no reaching the unreachable Take your golden rule and put it far away I am not your fool, I will not dismay I speak for the meek, the meek are not weak The truth is what we seek Listen to the words that I speak

Butterfly Kiss 03:15
lyrics
New day is dawning, sun burns my eyes Stretch in the morning, yawning; now I may rise I'll seize the day before it beats down on me Victory of the heart is my revelry My wish is a smooth butterfly kiss Love and war is the same If you approach it like a game There was a garden where my heart grows Outstretched petals where love overflows Here we are facing the world without a net Trials and tribulations make you want to forget I can save you from a far worse fate But from my own demons I can't escape You say you believe in me While I drown in misery Got to have foundation or something to hold Solitude is always so long and cold There's strength in numbers and I rolled my numbers When I looked into your eyes I want to bathe you in golden shards of light I didn't fade you into the night You say you believe in me While I drown in misery

Leila Rose 04:20
lyrics
She means everything in this world to me. I love to hear her laugh when she's on my knee. My little girl's love is so pure, it brightens everything I see; I can't believe she's a part of me. Her smile to me is like the morning sun, Leila Rose. She looks just like you they say as we walk on by. I say that's my girl, but, she's got her mama's style. Her baby talk is our lullaby. I can't believe I ask the Reasons why. Her smile to me is like the morning sun, Leila Rose. Smiling, laughing, loving Leila Rose! I look back on a time when she wasn't in our lives. My love grew so strong for my wife. We extended our Hearts to the heavens above and down came this girl Made from love. Everyone who sees you wants to be a part of your life. Just one touch of your hand, warms like sunlight. Your bright shiny eyes reflect the sky. I can't believe I ask the Reasons why. Your smile to me is like the morning sun, Leila Rose.

Buh Ba Ba Ba 04:21
lyrics
I stand on top of the world Looking down at you It's such a pitiful world, with all The things that you can do I can push a button, when I want to get me some I'm your sweet daddy, when I want to get me some Virtual reality stinks of a big brother scheme I use Afro-sheen, to get into your cyber-jeans I can push a button, when I want to get me some I'm your sweet daddy, when I want to get me some

City in the Sky 03:40
lyrics
City in the sky Keeps me reeling I feel so high Now I'm dreaming Why do I feel so cold? City in the sky People screaming Why oh why Can't fight this feeling Why do I feel so old? Shards of light Cascade down on my windowpane A gentle flower Drinks the rays Hoping to grow Another day Where's my city? Why?
