never thought i could make it
cos i stay addicted to you
and everyone i know thinks i'm crazy
or maybe just a little too cool
i find myself on the backfoot
losing balance fast
the truth, ain't truth
if it isn't rude
the truth is you fucked me real good
falling
to the floor
never hurt
just bruised
but, ur the only one who pushed
wailing
for more
cos the hurtin's
good
but, i'm the only one who could
aaaaaaaaaaaah
ooooooooooooh
haaaaaaaaaaaa
hoooooooooooo
x2
there's a wheel of love that's spinning
round and round, beginning
why don't
u hold
my hand?
out of love, then in it
predictable-y livin
down on
the floor
again
falling
to the floor
never hurt
just bruised
but, ur the only one who pushed
wailing
for more
cos the hurtin's
good
but, i'm the only one who could
aaaaaaaaaaaah
ooooooooooooh
haaaaaaaaaaaa
hoooooooooooo

Night Blossoms

daylight comes
in a wave of hums
and i still don't know my truth
the sun brings fun
motivates me to run
but i always end up further away
from you
if i close my eyes
the world still shines
& time & space
are no longer in view
when the plants arise
greeting clear blue skies
i'm supposed to feel good
but i'm not over you
it comes & goes
like a tidal flow
on an endless plain
but nobody knows
a persistingly true
love dance with you
i'd say it's 'bout time
but there's no time to lose
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
and the night only blossoms in June
darkness comes
and a moonbeam runs
cascading through my hair, in June
there's a battle won
as i vanquish the sun
and reclaim my sour mood
from you
once i opened my eyes
to this world of bright lies
i could finally see my path, through
all the mud and flies
never thought would disguise
the hidden light of the moon
it ebbs & flows
like winter ghosts
to a painless end
that we all should know
irresistible you
would never ever do
i'd say it's all love
but there's no love in you
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
and the night only blossoms in June
and the night blossoms.

mindin my business
when i see u, babe
cos u got my feelins
goin thru the ceilin
the ceilin
i'm willin
wheelin & dealin
prayin & wishin
u could see me, babe
for real, babe
i'm here, babe
gettin drunk & high
flyin through the sky
so fly i'm out of my mind
my mind
ain't fine
since i tasted u, babe
ain't no one but u, babe
will ever satisfy me
u got me
give it up
before we get down
shake it around
to my sound
what was lost
will not be found
but be reclaimed
in the name of the sane
this game of love
i play to win
i live to sin
then start over again
never just once
always twice
i throw the dice
on the love of my life
oww
won't u
be my
girl
x2
more pre-
-cious than
pearls
take my
love, my
girl
everybody got their thing
but mine aint shit, w/out that ring
i put it on ur finger
got me so happy, u made me sing
got me so bold that i might just rap
might kick a chill rhyme quick
betcha didn't think, that this boy could spit
hot shit
a verse from the heart that will light ur spark
make u nod ur head to the beat in the dark
everybody stop, now everyone listen
mista vee's back with a brand new invention
claimin my swag like i claim my pension
i don't give a fuck, throw ya lighters up
roll a fat blunt, burn the doja up
pour some vat69 in my cup
relax and recline cos everything's fine
funkin for you and the whole damn crew
for girls with hair in curls
the ladies with sass, showin off that ass
for dudes that know, ur style is ur flow
for people that are one with self, on the low
cruisin in a mitsi magna, giving zero fucks
it's true, i do what i do
before i depart, before i cease
i'ma smack u with some horns like i smack them cheeks
like
push it back, now.

wakin up
to the morning
to a brand new day
got no sleep
tossin, turnin
still too much to say
on my mind
all the time
your words
haunt
me
only my pillow
will soften the blow
of a lifetime
worth of need
dulling my senses
with drinkin & smokin
i thought i could shut it all out
but the severity of your
insanity really got to me
now i'm on the ground
there's no reason or rhyme
and no sense to ur crime
& i can't believe i was so prone
to the trauma & blue
if no other will do
then i'd rather end up all alone
all alone
oooh, oohh, oohhhh-one
x3
cos i'm right
and ur wrong
so leave me the hell
alone
goin to sleep
in the dark
i shudder at my thoughts
for i dream endlessly
tumbling deep
fearing i'll never wake up
every night
right on time
i convince myself i'm alright
but i know it's a rouse
to cover the bruise
of a heart that has run out of time
dulling my senses
with smokin & drinkin
i thought i could shut it all out
but the insanity of your
reality always tends to
get me down
there's no rhyme or no reason
yet every season
i can't believe u left our home
so certainly
if we
can't be
then i'll find my way through: alone
all alone
oooh, oohh, oohhhh-one
x3
cos i'm right
and ur wrong
so leave me the hell
alone.

i've been watching you
for so long
and i dunno where it went wrong
one minute ur here, then ur gone
you finally spread
your wings and flied
over everything
saw into everyone
ho no
x8
you finally wed
your bitter halves
to hold and have
for ever
we carefully slid
into a pit
of our own making
with no escape hatch
i've been too kind for too long
lettin everybody go on
like it's my life they own
and i know things
they go deeper than what
we may think is the
bedrock of our stars
the basis of our laws
the heart of all our love
our love
our love
ho no
x8
and it's been too long
since i phoned home
& had a real talk
with my soul quarks
ever since i
gained my third eye
i can see why
the world is a lie.

givin up
cos i'm older
and tired
from chasin love
i stand up
but it's over
my heart
is overrun
when i had you
thought our love was true
for u to stay
but there u go
smokin doja
to get over
losin you:
i don't know what to do
a shadow on the wall
can never replace
a hand to hold
could never erase
a smile so gold
and now i just feel
it's all said and told
baby
in the dark i'm lovin u
lovin u, hopin u
can shine some light on me
hey girl can't u see
that in the dark i'm lovin u
holdin u, yes it's true
that u cannot see
i'm not over u
x2
givin up
cos i'm wiser
and worn out
from bein used
i sit down
cos it's over
too many times
my heart's been bruised
when i was with u
it's like i never had u
a winter ghost
obscured from view
gettin sober
to get over
losin u:
ur love was never true
shadows on the wall
could never erase
or brace my fall
could never replace
a feelin so tall
and now we're just a silhouette
of what we used to be
baby
in the dark i'm lovin u
lovin u, hopin u
can shine some light on me
hey girl can't u see
that in the dark i'm lovin u
holdin u, yes it's true
that u cannot see
i'm not over u

Struggletown
06:16

well i've tried
so strong
to be more than a working bum
but in this game
of funds and sums
i disagree
equality
is meant for me
and for you
and all in between
but as the rich
blame the poor
we search for the door
i been down so long
drownin tears in my songs
wouldn't recognise a win
if it bit me on the lip
livin on struggle street
i may have food to eat
but i'll never be free
never ever truly
everyone i know is good
not much crime in my hood
but deep down there's a hole
in the space that we call 'soul'
struggletown is a place
with no name, with no face
exists ubiquitously
it's in u and me
drugs and drink and sex and culture
is all we need to forget the world is
fucked up
and needs some help
for once in ur life
worry bout someone else
lend an ear
shed some tears
and most of all:
show no fear
well i've tried
but i failed
to be more than a common shill
for a system
that doesn't care
y'all know what i mean
i'm free
but am i really?
and are u too?
ain't it worth askin?
as we fall
deeper, we feel
the struggle is real
we've been down so long
trapped within this crown of thorns
knife in hand, throats are slit
as the world goes to shit
livin on struggle street
plenty food, plenty weed
but we'll never be free
never ever get free
everyone i know is down
dwellin in struggletown
livin lies, fuck the truth
as the old corrupt the youth
we were born to be free
or will be eventually
to live harmoniously
hope: it ain't just a dream
media, religion and school and terror
is what they will feed us to ensure our slavedom
wake up
take shelter
u should know
it could all be better
be the change
you'd like to see
for changin u:
for savin me.

Tundra
06:15

i live in a world that's gettin colder
one day i'll wake up
to find that i am frozen
my heart and my mind
in time, will cease to function
wherever i go
i know, the snow will follow
some people say:
what you don't know won't hurt ya
but i know from
my life
knowledge is power
the power to hurt, or to heal
depends on the person
u never can tell
til it's too late:
crossin the tundra
across the ice we float our lies until we feel safe
closin our eyes hopin to disguise our hate til we reach the gates
of redemption, it don't come easy for anyone, but wait
i could be ur light in darkest night: damn it must be fate
winter is coming
for everyone
pepare to say goodbye
to the sun
we'll keep on running
until we're one
right through this tundra:
our day is done
x2
in the night, i feel older
one day i won't wake up
no longer able to hold her
cos in time, my life
will be over
whatever i've done
it won't matter any longer
some people say:
you don't know what you don't know what you don't know
but i never claimed
that knowing
for sure is the way to go
cos some things in life
can't be explained
with the brain but with the soul
now i'm pulled under
the tundra
returnin to my home
across the ice we float our lies until we feel safe
closin our eyes hopin to disguise our hate til we reach the gates
of redemption, it don't come easy for anyone, but wait
i could be ur light in darkest night: damn it must be fate
winter is coming
for everyone
pepare to say goodbye
to the sun
we'll keep on running
until we're one
right through this tundra:
our day is done

got caught up in
winds of change
didn't have a shelter
from all this pain
after sunshine
here comes rain
lord i wish you
could have stayed
abandoned over
silly little things
can't you see we both have grown?
all that time
we spent together
didn't you feel at home?
i lost myself
trynah find myself
took a while til i wrote this song
til i loved my voice
til i made a choice
to start livin right: not wrong
you are the sun
i always looked up to you
we are the sons
a new day dawns for truth
nobody's won
our fate is sealed with a bruise
i stand, you run
there is nothing
left to lose
left to lose
so confused
don't know what to do
how could a love so strong
be thrown away like shoes
i've lost my composure
this is all so new
if i could do it all over
i'd still do it with you
we meant more to each other
than most of the others
can't you see the seeds you've sown?
so many years
through doubts and fears
damn we had a happy home
but through rose-coloured glasses
i could not see
deep inside you were ripped and torn
i wanna make it better
but only together
none of us can do this alone
you are the sun
i always looked up to you
we are the sons
a new day dawns for truth
nobody's won
our fate is sealed with a bruise
i stand, you run
there is nothing
left to lose
left to lose
you are the one
a closed bud that refused to bloom
we are the sons
of a new morning, if we choose
none of this is fun
my fate is tied up with you
i stand, you run
with everything
left to lose
left to
lose
lose
with everything left to lose
left to
lose
lose
everything left to lose
left to
you are the sun
i always looked up to you
we are the sons
a new day dawns for truth
nobody's won
our fate is sealed with a bruise
i stand, you run
there is nothing
left to lose
left to lose.

the sun was gone
the day after the mourn
the night i was vexly scorned
can't remember why
i held ur light so high
watched u paint the sky
never ever thought you'd go
never ever thought you'd cry
folded into the clouds
out of sight and sound
u used to hit the ground
the dark abounds
oooohhh
givin me the need
for another speed
slowin it down
sippin this weed
gettin outta town
aint worryin bout things
though my light is out
we'll burn away
burn away
burn away, my love
and turn away
turn away
turn away its love
can't live a day
live a day
without the rising sun
let's go away
run away
til all things are done
sol
x8
journeying through space
they say it's still 'the place'
the closest i'll get to grace
to see god's face
ooooohhhhhhhhh
a rumour that i heard
in the wind flowing like a bird
what i hear sounds absurd
it shakes my world
the sun, the sun, the sun
it only exists in mind
percieved as if by the blind
imagine it was fake
oooooohhhhhhhh
i finally breach the sphere
to face my creator's glare
i ready myself, prepare:
but the sun wasn't there
we'll burn away
burn away
burn away, my love
and turn away
turn away
turn away its love
can't live a day
live a day
without the rising sun
let's go away
run away
til all things are done

Home
09:15
|

|
far from my land of birth
ripped from the soil
& clutching a new earth
yearning to return home
i once, worked the land & toiled
fighting for a mountain top
& a thousand apricots
the beauty i still call home
flying a flag soaked in blood
of countless generations
who gave their very lives
for a piece of their home
so we set the table down
in a land not our own
we, fill our empty souls
with symbols of our dying home
i've lost my place
i've drifted too far
from the heart of Ar
culture all but gone
in strange new lands we now call home
eternally struggling to cope
with a lifetime of pain
and, still it remains
follows us into the unknown
my heart bleeds for the loss
eyes hurt from the tears
of a thousand years
still trying to find my home
they say home is where the heart lays
but my heart is absent
it was taken long ago
when i lost my sweet home
oh lord
what have we done?
lost and on the run
shielded from the sun
oor ess hayastan?
i can't find my way home
der asdvadz
abandoned everyone
my people in ruins
victims on the run
daughters and sons
let's find our way home.
