When I rose up I saw my fate Standing there As my saving grace Didn't have many words Right then and there All she said was honey child Show me that you care Float away On a ray While I am On a hazy day All of my love For all of you Is what I'm heaven sent On this Earth to do I change my mind Whenever I come Into your paradise Your world of love Your place of mystery With vines deep and thick Where the liquid of knowledge pours So dark and so rich Float away On a ray While I am On a hazy day All of my love For all of you Is what I'm heaven sent On this Earth to do Said you were near (Said you were near) I swear I could hear (Swear I could hear) Said come here (Said come here) I told you I need you That's what I say Float away On a ray While I am On a hazy day And all of my love For all of you Is what I'm heaven sent On this Earth to do

He grins and tells his tales Too far gone to revoke Because he is so scared to feel He pretends that life's a joke When I'm in such a bind Turn to the groove inside my mind All else is left behind You are just too young and blind Oh, no time to be alone A pile of dust and a pile of bone Restless and unfocused I appear nonchalant Waiting for the right moment When I don't know what I want When I'm in such a bind Turn to the groove inside my mind All else is left behind You're just too young and blind Oh, no time to be alone A pile of dust and a pile of bone I look in the mirror He looks back I realize it's what he is As much as what I lack When I'm in such a bind Turn to the groove inside my mind All else is left behind You're just too young and blind Oh, no time to be alone A pile of dust and a pile of bone

Candy 03:02
First all I wanted was to be in your place You seemed so full of love and grace But now I've realized you're a walking disgrace Both to me and the whole human race Gave you my heart, you put it in your shoe And I asked "Well, whatcha gonna do" "I'm gonna walk all over town on your chest And I'll find another man with whom to take my rest" So rude Some dude? So rude Oh Candy, you wrecked my mind Now I'm shifting in and out of time And my brain's been sifting through All of those scary thoughts of you Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy Oh Candy, why do you do All of those terrible things, you fool? You swore to keep your word But knowing you, that's so absurd So now I've cut all ties with you and your kin I can't live with that awful din Oh Candy, you wrecked my mind Now I'm shifting in and out of time And my brain's been sifting through All of those scary thoughts of you Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy Oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy, oh Candy Oh Candy, why do you do All of those terrible things, you fool?

I want to be free But my demons won't let me be I look at the ground And I know I'll be found I look at the sky I'm feeling the wind I know I will fly but now I'm seeing your stare I know you don't care Why are you so unfair? I've been riding for miles And traveling for years Building catapults For all of my tears Until I met you, pretty baby Didn't know what it meant to be crazy And by the time I find peace I'll be gone Oh don't worry, it won't be for long I see you coming For some fun All I can do Is start to run I'm too scared Of a good time I'll just stick to All of my own rhymes I've been riding for miles And traveling for years And building catapults For all of my tears Until I met you, pretty baby Didn't know what it meant to be crazy And by the time I find peace I'll be gone Oh don't worry, it won't be for long I'm a psychic sufferer That means nothing to you I'm the premier of Kashmir But I don't know what to do Should I keep it all sealed? Should I speak to you? Holding in all my fears Oh I'm gonna let loose Oh yeah Until I met you, pretty baby Didn't know what it meant to be crazy And by the time I find peace I'll be gone Oh don't worry, it won't be for long They call me the cruel procrastinator The one and only moral masturbator Asked for a kiss and she gave me the world Oh don't worry my flag is unfurled

Deep in the jungle In the days of yore Before the world was unsettled by this war Mystic avenues Walking through Eyes so dear, so clear Yeah, it's me to you My mind is steady, my soul is ready For you My mind is steady, my soul is ready For you I rock, You roll, In the summer, time moves so slow I rock, You roll, In the summer, time moves so slow When the moon did rise in the past Before Earth's mysteries were solved at last Minds were free to care They saw the light streaming through your golden hair Ages have you seen in the past Most of which have not last One thing lingers on It's the love I put in this song Cry, lonely flyer In the heavens I make my bed Die, lost lover The one who made my soul recover Lie, sun child Many moons I've seen your body bare Fly, all children Make the world know that you care I wanna leave you all A simple song to repeat To your children as they go to sleep The Earth was filled with wonder But we plundered and blundered One thing led to another Now it's torn asunder But it's gonna be alright Thanks to the liquid poetess Who drowned our sins in her flight

I woke up to realize my gloom I looked outside to find it was afternoon All my past seemed like a blur Between who I was and what I meant to her All I made is a cold, cold brew And now I'm wondering what the fuck I should do I'm seeing colors I've never seen Lines shifting in parallel in this fever, fever dream Everything that meant anything to me Now it's all lost in mental turbidity Now I'm wondering why I'm trapped up in this bed Almost as bad as being trapped inside my head Gotta get out, gotta head out now To find my love Gotta get out, gotta head out now To find the one who returned the white dove Gotta get out, gotta head out now To find my love Gotta get out, gotta head out now To find the one who returned the white dove (This expanse) Endless expanse (Dark romance) It's a dark romance (This expanse) Endless expanse And now, I've escaped from this cage I walk these streets through a purple, purple haze I can't remember what it's like to fly These shattered wings won't get me to the sky Look over my shoulder, eyes full of fear And I'm running from these ice cold tears Gotta get out, gotta head out now To find my love Gotta get out, gotta head out now To find the one who returned the white dove

Slow Walk 04:47
Slow walk I can't wait to be alone Moon talk You will always have the throne I heard It better be in twos Wrong words He will come looking for you I waited for you You won't tell me what to do I can see right through You were never really blue Shoes clean I spend rhymes and all my time You fiend All you want is crime and dimes Where to Don't know where the hell you went Now I heard Yeah I heard you're heaven sent I waited for you You won't tell me what to do I can see right through You were never really blue I waited for you Oh don't tell me what to do I can see right through You were never really blue

Red 03:34
Stranded doing time For many an inner crime Indefinite sentence Is our only defense No one's got answers No avenue to success Five hundred yards of this shit Won't get us out of this mess United by division Left to sing our blues Universal blurry vision How do I get through to you Memories of taking flight, feeling alright I'm left bereft Nothing seems to be going right Getting pulled off to the left Sittin' here clear headed These days it ain't a breeze Remember pre armageddon? Gotta get back to Jimmy T's United by division Left to sing our blues Universal blurry vision How do I get through to you And oh I fear When all the stone disappears The bliss I seek may not be here And oh I gotta recommend It's with you 'til the bitter end The music is your only friend They can't take that from you, no

You see the glimmer in my eyes How they shimmer like the stars I'm a fortunate, blue eyed son I was born and raised on Mars I come from a land with no envy A place without cars The only place that you'll find me is locked behind bars Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Won't see me cry alone Black lungs and a broken heart Wait til it turns to stone Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long You can tell from the glimmer in my eyes I'm the one and only Freedom Man I come from a place of no envy I do what I can The thirteen hour night Gave me such a fright So I jet on down here To set the record clear Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Won't see me cry alone Black lungs and a broken heart Wait til it turns to stone Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long (Freedom, man, it's here) This is a special news bulletin Humankind is reeling today After a flying saucer crash landed on Earth Thus confirming the existence of alien life (Freedom, man, it's here) Within the vicinity of the crash Witnesses reported experiencing mass euphoria And large groups gathered to listen to live music (Freedom, man, it's here) From the steaming wreckage emerged a man with the wings of a bird He didn't have time to say much As he passed out shortly due to the high oxygen content of our atmosphere (Freedom, man, it's here) All he had time to say was... "I came to speak the truth Freedom to the youth." Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Won't see me cry alone Black lungs and a broken heart Wait til it turns to stone Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Set fire to the devil's eyes Black lungs and a broken heart To me it's no surprise Black lungs and a broken heart Burned a good one to fade away Black lungs and a broken heart Now I hurry to say what I say
