REIMAGINE EDEN
Taught me how to turn blue into gold
Taught me how to see through these old dusty lies
Something starting to brew
Of a different kind
A little revolution’s good for the soul sometimes
They’ll try use your brain
To Harvest hearts to half a man
Don’t let them touch your pain but
Or eclipse your deep down strangeness
I feel the people waking up today
I feel the people waking today
Unexpected mothership
Building with my brothers this
Eden reimagined
Father of the sun eclipsed
Time to uncover this
Raw as a bloody fist
Weak as newborn
Relying on the one who lifts
Us up and breaks us down
Can we redefine purpose
Surrender to the sound of the circus?
Simple Gypsy young witch growing with me
Ancient return to the now Fate kissed me I fainted
Taught me how to turn blue into gold
Taught me how to see through these old dusty lies
Something starting to brew
Of a different kind
A little revolution’s good for the soul sometimes
Revolution of the mind mankind creative alchemy
Make art outside of your gallery not defined by salary
How can we
Exchange pain without the fame and the cash?
If the cycle don’t change
It’s just the same as the past
I’m looking at the future present
Truth and the essence
The lesson the stress and the blessing
Movement progression
A new collective of collection connection
Loving the beauty of my imperfection
Some carry the yolk with a rope around cattle neck
Words spoke provoke to show
Emperors broke on a palace steps
I focus on ideas that are dope but haven’t happened yet
Like my homies living in the woods
With babies in a bassinet
Watch your mouth
Everybody trying to be somebody
Talking tough
But you crumble when you’re all alone
Shut your mouth
Cause we’re all nobody
Just a house
For spirit to reanimate
Reimagine Eden

Throwing Bones

THROWING BONES
Ragdoll torn need more yarn
Lose my head trying to hold on
Apocalyptic I’m reborn
And the bones don’t lie
Throwing them bones
Ragdoll there’s someone behind you!
Ragdoll, there’s no one behind
On the mast of the ship
Like a master chimp
Hit the affidavit with the acronym
It stands for I don’t sit down when the storm comes
Way we make ‘em dance
When you know that these are war drums
The breeze might blow a strange whisper
Lights might flicker you’ll feel it when it gets under your skin
Ragdoll there’s someone behind you!
Ragdoll, there’s no one behind
Getting out of bed with a big yawn
Sitting on yo ass getting fat, huh?
I pity that rich boy yessir
Cause money don’t help when you die
All the time we waste on expensive things
Trying to dance with extravagance again
Will it become you?
Ragdoll there’s someone behind you!
Ragdoll, there’s no one behind
They can’t see the mountain
That only you can climb
So you climb your mountain
And I’ll climb mine
Alone together now.

Tame My Strange

TAME MY STRANGE:
Holding me gently like these reigns
I wasn’t ready for her melody
I’m telling you, I’ve changed
This memory is framed
By the same mind
That is entertained by
Villains and the savior
People trying to tame my strange
What you know about that thunder?
Really though, got that hunger
Belly ache walk like hunter
Peace though, enemy I love ya
But if you cross the beast gon’ gut ya
Piece in my teeth
From the feast of the under..world
As I curl by the fire in the tundra
Wolf taught me how to cry when I want to
My old identity has changed
I got a hunger and it’s killing me
It’s filling me with shame
We hang our heads the same
With the same eyes
Circling the great fire
Preying on the prayer pyre
People trying to tame my strange
If I don’t like ya
But the photosynthesis still excites ya
We could go the limit with reuniting
All so stubborn like kids a fighting
Hid the lightning, I’m tapping in
Strike again
The return of the happiness
It begins
Always with a woman with a grin
Always in the shallows with the fin
Hollow as a bone till I bend till I break
Till I let her back in here again
Till I AM, I will never be free.

Half A Man

HALF A MAN
Are you a part of me
Or a beautiful monster in my imagination?
Falling from both my eyes
You held this torch for me
All the years when I was following you blind
Only half a man
Don’t wait till the cops be calling
And the ambulance singing in the morning light
It’s never goodbye
And that’s alright
Two hearts and both beats skip
Really don’t fit together
And this forever is too short now
Really want to sit together
And block out the world that’s been making me sad
Scattered distracted like half of a man
And I’m gone stressing
Cigarettes just to get me calm
Lessons not learned
That’s awkward when my son smiles
But I’m off earth high
In a pink hearse
Trauma got me injured
And I medicate but I’ll never run away from this world
I’m with you
Are you a part of me
Or a beautiful monster in my imagination?
Falling from both my eyes
You held this torch for me
All the years when I was following you blind
Only half a man
FInd change in my confines
In my constraints with a calm mind
I can find strength when I’m weak
Welding soul blades in this hell fire, seek
Other ways to get my wiggles out
Nightmares coming vicious when I’m sober
Trying to understand what it’s about
Squirming in my personality
Words limiting reality
I smoke to escape harsh gravity
Double edged cause when the fun is dead
Poison takes its toll
Take it too far you’ll end up martyr rock and roll
That’s why I quit drinking
Been thinking clearer still in prison though
Addiction takes control
Of every action slowly killing me I know
Are you a part of me
Or a beautiful monster in my imagination?
Falling from both my eyes
You held this torch for me
All the years when I was following you blind
Only half a man
Don’t wait till the cops be calling
And the ambulance singing in the morning light
It’s never goodbye
And that’s alright
Too close to that landslide
New ghost when my man died
On a noose from the tree
With the Lucifer leaves
Leave me alone in my bones a disease
That’s that moth to light shit
Cost your life quick
Icarus love that shine a bit too much
He can’t quit, trying to ice it
Cold shower, red eyed temptation
Got the best of me
Trying to be jedi
But then the other half of me
Laughed at me and lit up a cigarette casually
And said, “we’re all gonna die, we’re all gonna die,
Live happily..”

Frenzy In Your Eyes

FRENZY IN YOUR EYES
Tease me with your morning paper
Wonder why I’m waking in these cold sweats
Hello neighbor, I can see the frenzy in your eyes
Meet your maker
Burning through this tape looking for god’s breath
Fingerprints, fingerprints ain’t mine..
Bit by bit by bit I wanna get
My fingerprints on hundred dollar bills
Wanna play but not for free
The price you pay to believe in dreams
She can’t even sleep without me
And a dream is not a dream without her by my side
Bit by bit by bit I wanna get
My fingerprints on hundred dollar bills
Too much time too much bloodshed
To not give a fuck I be doing what the drum said
You can’t tell me nothing I be running funk drunk
Head first singing like everywhere is a church
Trying to merge money and dreams that shit hurts
Dig you for your soul still need the gold purse
But everything starts in the cold dirt
Love you so much, watch what we grow here and show the world like..
Bit by bit by bit I wanna get
My fingerprints on hundred dollar bills
She can’t even sleep without me
And a dream is not a dream without her by my side

GAS MASK AND FLOWERS
Gas mask and flowers that grow in the shade
Called me a coward in the end I prove brave
Broken only to receive
Sand turns to towers and nothing remains
Building this fire it started to rain
Broken only to receive
In the daytime hid well Frankenstein
To the sound of the bells now I’m breaking down
Trying to protect my little bit of sunshine
My monster be running from
The village mind
Take time
To cry it’s gonna take hell just to open me
Each time I die
It gets better than I thought it be
Simply free
Till I’m simply free
Get caught in throats
This is not what you thought
Defined by your soul
You are not what you bought
Pink hearse cause death is a hoot
Soft as breath of the flute
Back of your neck getting goosebumps
We never met I knew ya
When my blue blood turns fuchsia
Tell em I loved you like the buffalo
Sweet mystery I don’t know my history
I be feeling out of place
Like Justice without the bass or
Oscar without guitar tired of running in place
Take time
To cry it’s gonna take hell just to open me
Each time I die
It gets better than I thought it be
Simply free
Till I’m simply free
Gas mask and flowers that grow in the shade
Called me a coward in the end I prove brave
Broken only to receive
