When it feels like the sky is painted on the ceiling
When it feels like your time is being counted with loose change
When you’re just moments away from withering
Remember that morning is coming soon
If you coulda kept me under your spell
Hanging mid-air, always begging for help
A perfectly obedient shell
Filled with ghosts of you
to keep me in check
oh oh oh
Everyone looks like someone else
someone else in the dark
in the dark
x2
When it feels like you’re seeking shelter from a crystal blanket
When you can’t see the beauty in the simple things
When it feels like you’re crying wolf but you’re neck deep in its belly
Remember that mourning is coming soon
If you coulda kept me under your spell
Hanging mid-air, always begging for help
A perfectly obedient shell
Filled with ghosts of you
to keep me in check
oh oh oh
Everyone looks like someone else
someone else in the dark
in the dark
Don't want saving grace

Out of water
You are sometimes
Unsure
You’re alive
You could transform
Ghost to living
Those severed fins
into wings
Because becoming
is in accumulation
it might feel like you’re wandering
that you’re never arriving
Surrender these worries you keep
and you’ll have few reasons to weep
my friend

Only you
can undo
the knotted rope that’s round your neck
Only you
split in two
can bring this death upon
yourself
though you see it not
ultra violet, counts
You see me broken
Lost in backward motion
Cause I can’t see the light
But you say there’s still life in me
Martyrdom is for cowards
This might not be your final hour
Just a time for rebirth
(and research)
This dream I been dreaming,
Shooting star ever fleeting
has the night kept me hiding
Moon’s still out in the morning
Mighty wonder
I surrender
oshun
Cause only you
can undo
the knotted rope that’s round
your neck
Only you
split in two
can bring this death upon
yourself
Though you see it not,
Ultraviolet counts

chuu feat. Topaz Jones

Spent too much time contemplating
Wondering how you could move this way
There’s so much I just can not explain
The consequence I can not evade
It’s been a fight every single day
I shouldn’t have held on to what you said
I’m on the brink of a new beginning
But I find myself hesitating
I’ve been praying for a sign
For the strength to get out
To recall who I am
That I’m here for a reason
I can feel that it’s time
Though it took me a while to realize it
I’m so glad it’ll soon be over
And I’ll be above it
I won’t think about chuu
Think about chuu
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu
I won’t even think about chuu
Don’t give a shit about chuu
I ain’t even trippin’ bout chuu
Play by my own rules
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu, no
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu
I won’t even think about chuu
Don’t give a shit about chuu
I ain’t even trippin’ bout chuu
Play by my own rules
Gave up too much compromising
My sis told me stop apologizing
They’d love to keep you insecure
Weakened mind can be controlled
Found myself on top of the mountain
Fallin’ in love with the moment
I don’t wanna (I don’t wanna) play it down, play it down
Took it all for me to find out
That the night always falls
But you know not to crawl
Not to hide at the sound
Of the howl
No, you won’t cower
I won’t think about chuu
Think about chuu
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu
I won’t even think about chuu
Don’t give a shit about chuu
I ain’t even trippin’ bout chuu
Play by my own rules
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu, no
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu
I won’t even think about chuu
Don’t give a shit about chuu
I ain’t even trippin’ bout chuu
Play by my own rules
I won’t think about chuu
Think about chuu
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu
I won’t even think about chuu
Don’t give a shit about chuu
I ain’t even trippin’ bout chuu
Play by my own rules
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu, no
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu
I won’t even think about chuu
Don’t give a shit about chuu
I ain’t even trippin’ bout chuu
Play by my own rules
Twenty four hours and a buck late
Nowadays I can make the bus wait
Learning ‘bout the games lady luck play
Loaded up my plate like a buffet
The other day I walked by some apartments
Couldn’t shake it off was feelin awful strange
Familiar face I saw couldn’t call the name
I tried to trace the thought but I was drawing a blank, like
I got um (You got um)
I got um (Whatchuu got)
I got amnesia
Actin’ like you stain
I gotta bleach ya
I gotta peace up, A town down
I stay downtown don’t see ya
And it’s a piece of cake like pound
I make my rounds I re-up
It’s bills to pay it’s bill to pass, ugh
Half full why spill the glass on a burnt up bridge
When the last thing crossed my mind was
What’s-her-face I think I heard the name
Must got me confused damn you’re so vain
I bet you think this 16 ‘bout chuu
I won’t think about chuu
Think about chuu
I won’t think about chuu
Won’t even think about chuu

My mind’s spins around
Catch it before it slips off the edge
And I’m found by the road side
day in day out
Pleading strangers for help
Don’t dwell upon this thought right now
Cause it won’t ease my grief
You couldn’t save me it’s alright
It’s a trick of the mind
I hide in plain sight
You’ll be blinded by my light before I show
It’s all pointing outwards, but inside’s
Dark as a cave after midnight
You couldn’t save me, it’s alright
oooh
Cause it won’t ease my grief
won’t ease my grief
You couldn’t save me, it’s alright
oh no
My vanishing point is just a trick of mind
I won’t my grieve my grief
it’s never too late
To make your way back
It’s never too late
To make your way back

In the air
Love’s in the air
Love’s in the air
Love’s in the air
In the air
Love’s in the air
Love’s in the air
Love’s in the air
you don’t have to try so hard
nor have a change of heart
at night i hear you weep
i hate when you cry in your sleep
you’re scared of what you’ll find
when your eyes are open wide
i promise you it’s sweet
don’t wanna find out
that you been self-deprecating
you better recognize
better recognize
you’re here
here
here
here
you better recognise
you’re here
this is no longer a dream, babe
[Chronixx]
Rastaman you try so hard
Gunning like a arsenal
Fighting all the wars without
The war within is not for scouts
Cry my son and let it out
Cry my son we’ll teach you how
To find your way to inner peace
hoo hoo x 4
you don’t have to cry in your sleep
hoo hoo x 4
this is no longer a dream, babe
[Chronixx]
Igo starts with I, still E
claims the Igo by belief
Chains the soul to false belief
And makes you cry in your sleep
Love is on the other side of
everything you fear
you don’t have to hide
you don’t have to hide

reverie

I don’t really wanna wake up
I’m only what my dreams are made of
but see life makes
No promises
Ever wonder what happens when you stop believing?
Darling, are you still ashamed
Caught up in your own web
Falling short of who you thought you would be
you could be
Tell me, are you still afraid
Of what reflection might unveil
Do you know that i will love you all ways?
I promise you
What do you hear when you sit still ?
(I'm telling you, it ain't a big deal)
You could trade it all for something real
Finally grieve
Freedom rings
But the deafening tone of struggle is too familiar
uh huh?
Darling, are you still unchanged?
Latching on to old regrets
Falling short of who you thought you should be
But that’s okay
Tell me, are you still afraid
You could start over and reset
Don’t you know that i will love you always
It’s all up to you

Make it easier
Make it easier
For me
All I want is the
Ease of Sunday morning
I promise that’s enough
I just can’t see beyond it
Body disappearing
Or is that just my spirit
Drowning in these tears I’ve cried
I’m calling on all my angels for
a presence, to watch me over
while i get it together
Make it easier
Make it easier
For me
See if i surrender
The fear of being lonely
or the need for control
The fog might clear before me
Maybe there’s no secret
Should i stop resisting
maybe things will just align
I’m calling on my ancestors for
their presence, to watch me over
while I get it together
Make it easier
Make it easier
for me
Make it easier
Make it easier
for me
Time and time again
we protect our energies
Though we do intend
It don’t come so easily

Blur the lines till they disappear
Your every word feels insincere
Time warps, and so do hues and memories
Of my own heart, I’ve become weary
What it’s like to take stride
What it’s like for me, for me
What it’s like to take flight
When it’s the light calling
Light calling
You don’t cry for me
can feel how much you hide from me
Don’t say you’ll look out for me
Cause you got no eyes for me
Don’t make up my mind for me
That’s where my heart won’t reach
There’s that fire, that you started

be alright feat. Sjava

Praying for some guidance
to a God I long forgot
Hoping for a change of season
for the pendulum to swing
But when you’re from where i’m from
And seen the things i’ve seen
It’s hard to shake the feeling
That change is only in our dreams
Deep down I know
Time waits on no one
Our breath on hold
Need to feel in my heart that
Everything is gonna be
everything
everything
is gonna be
gon be alright
[Sjava]
Sengikhathele uku’nconywa kuthiwa Strong
Kodwa ngaphakathi ngibe
Ngibola
Ngiloku ngitshelwa ukuthi hayi kuzokhanya
Makuphuma ilanga
Into yanini leyo
Ngoba ngilala njalo ngingakubonanga ukukhanya
Inyembezi ungabona ngisemvuleni mangikhala
ekhanda khona umuntu omemezayo uthi kabhekabezayo
Inkinga ziyohlale zikhona zehlula nobaba
Zobe khona ungcwatshwa
Zazikhona Noma uzalwa
Impi yenqondo ay’ngangamandla
Okuk’khathaza emoyeni
Ubobikela abadala
Deep down I know
Time waits on no one
Our breath on hold
Need to feel in my heart that
Everything is gonna be
everything
everything
is gonna be
gon be alright
Been told a thousand times
Could always hear it once more
Cause just being alive
Doesn't feel like enough

T’as le regard noir
aigri
L’ame sans espoir
s’enfuit
Tears don’t fall till the sun sets
and for once you’re oddly quiet
Seems we’ve now reached the summit
but we’ll never touch the sky
Did you know, did you know x3
8,000 flights took off today
Did you know, did you know x3
That juno took the pill today
ahh
Wonder’s born out of
ennui
Nuage ou nuisance
choisi
you’re not alone, you’re just lonely
but you can always call on me
Did you know, did you know x2
it’s true tho, it’s true tho
ooh
we always have a choice to make
Did you know, did you know x3
It’s okay, if today’s not your day
Thousand flights took off today
Juno took the pill today
We always have a choice to make
It’s ok, if today’s not your day
I bet you that didn’t know, that we’re flying
I bet you that you didn’t know, we’re undying
I bet that you didn’t know we’re in alignment
I bet you that didn’t know
that didn’t know
I bet you that didn’t know, that at we’re flying
I bet you that didn’t know, we’re in alignment
I bet you that didn’t know
That you didn't know huh

You are divine
When you take up the space
(I tried to contain, all my fears within)
Longing to find
I’m no longer afraid
of time passing by
(by)
We’re all spiritual
Lost in a physical realm
See the moon’s just the mountain side
& We all fell in love
Now we all seem to forget
We belong where the gods reside
So levitate
Be untamed, throw the leash out
Spread your wings, don't explain why
and love insane, don't hold back, let it all out
Cause the ghosts are coming
You can tell the start’s not always the beginning
life’s a silly game that everybody’s playing
After falling apart nothing could tear you up
When you realise you’re not only made of matter
When you finally realise that nothing ever mattered
oooh
we’re above and beyond
spiritual
we’re above and beyond
spiritual
welcome to
the non-physical
I’m leaving you behind
You can tell the stars are only the beginning ...
