The Morning

[Verse 1]
oh yeah
I Start my morning with a yawn and a stretch
My hair disheveled like it’s modern art on top of my stench
Clean up my teeth my body hair look in the mirror I’m fresh
My crooked smile is funny laugh I got the world to conquer next
So I cook some breakfast and I can’t forget that glass of OJ
Sun is shining on me so I think that I’ll be okay
Write my affirmations get myself elevated
Instead of scrolling and hating like I’m a troll in his cave den
My feet start moving and shaking I got some music to write
I might just pass the feeling to you if I see you tonight
I gotta reach as many people while I’m here with my light
So pass the flame and let it burn bright let it burn bright now
[Chorus]
Six in the morning going going
Six in the morning go ahead
From the thoughts I think to the words I say
It’s gonna be a good day
Six in the morning going going
Six in the morning go ahead
From the thoughts I think to the words I say
It’s gonna be a good day
Ain’t worried cause my higher powers in my corner
Got some action I can take don’t care if steps are out of order
Cause I learn from my mistakes that’s how my paint be looking fuller
On the canvas I create to get emotions in me sorted
Sorta borderline crazy from my story now I’m saving up
And storing it from when I’m acting normal on the daily
To the corporate zombies hating every minute til they play this jam
And vibe to every flavor got your mama and the baby singin
[Bridge]
Woah oh I’m here for the moment
Good things on the way and I know it
If I try just a little my soul lifts
High I’m golden shine on me
Woah oh I’m here for the moment
Good things on the way and I know it
If I try just a little my soul lifts
High I’m golden
Everybody now
[Chorus]
Six in the morning going going
Six in the morning go ahead
From the thoughts I think to the words I say
It’s gonna be a good day
Six in the morning going going
Six in the morning go ahead
From the thoughts I think to the words I say
It’s gonna be a good day

Theme Song
03:31
|

[Intro]
Yeah Divine wisdom
Ah yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus 1]
And I was sittin in my bedroom thinking of a theme song
Ask am I awake cause I always tend to dream long
Maybe if I sleep again give me five more minutes
And I’ll fly to wherever I’ll find my way out
[Verse 1]
Another day I’m waking up to broken promises
I’m trying to find a dollar quick to put into my pocket
Gotta spend it wait I lost it now I gotta sit and ponder this
Seems I’ve had some bad streaks of luck and it’s all adding up
Should I stay inside or yell at stars and say I’ve had enough (why god)
Maybe write some bars until I’m cool and focused on a plus
Grab a healthy juice enjoy the seasons of my youth
Can’t control the world outside but what I can is what I choose so i
Choose light choose love choose grace and I
Choose wise kind words to say yes I
Choose you if you can please stay
If you can’t well I hope you have a lovely day
Well I choose light choose love choose grace and i
Choose wise kind words to say yes i
Choose you if you can please stay
We can build any bridge til we find our way out
[Chorus 2]
Maybe time will tell me if I’m okay
And I know I’ve had my fair share of mistakes
But it’s alright something will show me the way
Please won’t you help me can you help me out
These choices that I make they never end
[Verse 2]
Unh on a walk I found myself
By the waves washing over hairy toes and I felt
A little pull to a consensus I don’t wanna live censored
Scared of how I’m seen until I’m wearing dentures
Overly scared and offend bout my neighbors their beliefs
Let it go let it be
I’m a flow like a river fish til I’m in the sea (alright)
And you know I dropped that line for all my fellow Pisces
Still reach for my dreams
Like one day I’m gonna get it
Bring my vision board to life
On my grind independent wearing robes and a smile
Let that set in
Find a place in a state of my mind
I’m indebted to my faith seeds growing into vines
I could climb up to heaven but I’m living for a vibe on the earth
In the summertime headed to wherever I can fly and return
With the lessons I’ve learned
Someday someday someday
[Chorus 2]
Maybe time will tell me if I’m okay
And I know I’ve had my fair share of mistakes
But it’s alright something will show me the way
Please won’t you help me can you help me out
These choices that I make they never end
[Chorus 1]
And I was sittin in my bedroom thinking of a theme song
Ask if I’m awake cause I always tend to dream long (I was thinkin I was thinkin of)
Maybe if I sleep again give me five more minutes
And I’ll fly to wherever I’ll find my way out
And I was sitting in my bedroom thinking of a theme song
Ask if I’m awake cause I always tend to dream long (theme song)
Maybe if I sleep again give me five more minutes
And I’ll fly to wherever I’ll find my way out
I’ll fly my way out
I’ll fly my way out
[interlude]
It’s a lovely day outside isn’t it?
Mmm why yes it is little man
It would be a shame if some childhood trauma came up right now
I suppose
Wait what

[Intro]
Hey sister do you wanna play rapper and pop princess
Ughhhhh do I have to
Yes
[Chorus]
Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me
I’ll never fit the mold that can’t contain my soul the fire that burns
Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me
But it’s more fun this way my life’s a game and I can’t wait my turn
Oh mama they don’t wanna play
They don’t wanna play with me
Oh mama they don’t wanna play with me
[Verse 1]
Since I was younger Phil they didn’t wanna play
I sat in corners of the school grounds for most of my days
Poking dead earth worms or tryina start some fights first
Man I’m so bored I’m throwing sand at the dirt
And rubbing dandelions on my face that’s my war paint
Picked last for every game they’re trying to overlook what’s great
And I think I scraped both knees on something
My black sheep family always had disfunction
All day on my video games with one player
Sundays hated going to church they kept saying
If I swear again I’m going to hell to meet satan
In my all white town they made me feel like a stranger
Til I hit that karaoke stage I’d sing my blues away (sing my blues away)
And maybe when I’m older they’ll all listen to my songs and hear me
[Chorus]
Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me
I’ll never fit the mold that can’t contain my soul the fire that burns
Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me
But it’s more fun this way my life’s a game and I can’t wait my turn
Oh mama they don’t wanna play
They don’t wanna play with me
Oh mama they don’t wanna play with me
[Verse 2]
Twenty years later I’m a rapper that’s obscure
I can’t seem to win I’m unemployed and I’m unsure
Of how I’m gonna make it see them selling their souls
For that flavor of the day gone tomorrow oh no I’m old
Or just a purist in a dirty game fearing my voice is too small or outdated
And I step over lines and toes I’m uncomfortable
With doing what I’m told my kinda pen writes bold
I never do it for attention if I said it then I meant it
With a solid seal cemented thank you I’m never mentioned
On your friends top five either dead or alive
But I tried to build up I had to heal cuts
Rejection is a blessing later on it’s still love
I know you feel stuck but wait yo just wait
Could it have happened really any other way
I’m only this bomb cause they didn’t wanna play
[Bridge]
But when I’m gone I’ll be here for you in your ear
To sing a long when you’re lonely almost out of tears
The road is long dark and thorny if you’re strange or weird
Its okay it’s okay it’s okay
One day we’ll all be silly
(Hey)
[Chorus]
Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me
I’ll never fit the mold that can’t contain my soul the fire that burns
Oh now I see they don’t wanna play with me
But it’s more fun this way my life’s a game and I can’t wait my turn
Oh mama they don’t wanna play
They don’t wanna play with me
Oh mama they don’t wanna play with me
[Outro]
Thank you everyone
Without you in my corner I wouldn’t be here today
Brokest Rapper Alive award is no easy feat
But here I am
And on this day I say (brother)
Hold on everyone sorry
You’re interrupting my speech
Mom said it’s my turn
But I wanna be a broke rapper
[sample]
You see here kid
You gotta just go for it
Don’t think of what comes after or what came before
You just gotta take a deep breath bend your knees and jump
And you might think what if I fall
Well what if you don’t
What if you fly

[Intro]
Yeah we rollin?
Yeah yeah yeah
For all the kids around the world
Around the world
[Chorus 1]
Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care
Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair
I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods
Waiting my turn for the kings to fall
Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care
Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair
I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods
Waiting my turn for the kings to fall
[Verse 1]
I come from a line of creative working fighters yo my
My mother and father birthed a coal to make that diamond now i
Put soul in my rhyming like a chef when they make top ramen
I’m a melting pot of Spanish Native American German Irish
I’m not locked in any tribe or claim one side that I can represent
I’m here to bridge where we’re divided in this present tense
I’m a chain of islands still I’m more pangea when I breathe and sweat
A human being child of peace that dreams of painting worlds and yes
I’m tired of the headlines that trouble us at bedtime
I’m trying to put more stars back in the sky I’m on a deadline
That’s what I’ll do with my life until I hang up my mic
I’ll dive into the darkness just to leave this world with light
I’m singing
[Chorus 1]
we will rise when the old don’t care
Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair
I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods
Waiting my turn for the kings to fall
Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care
Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair
I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods
Waiting my turn for the kings to fall
[Bridge]
Yeah yeah I wanna see you open up this pit
One two three four
Yeah
I wanna go
[Verse 2]
I’ve been mad at the world for so long
Thinking how it’s the end but I’m so wrong
If I stop and I see what I got I can give
Maybe live with the kid in my songs that I sing when I’m sad heh
Wake up from a dream I’m glad I’m here I won’t make fear my path
But it gets so hard to fly
When your wings aren’t strong and you’re way up high
And you don’t belong to a group of sheeple
If you’re strange then you are my people
We are one if we all aren’t equal we’ll become
Something bigger than we could when we’re all alone
I’m thinking outside from a fish in a bowl
I’m thinking that it’s time to take us home
[Chorus 2]
Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care
Just living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair
I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods
Waiting for the day we can all come home
Sayin we will rise when the old don’t care
Just living for a vibe when we don’t fight fair
I’m kicking up sand at the oldest gods
Waiting for the day we can all come home
[Verse 3]
One time for the youth eternal
Two times for the kids that revolt
Three rhymes cause I write with a light inside that will not die let it burn slow
Keep walking my town is faded
I’m healed so I won’t be jaded
My future is what I make it still write raw yeah I’m honestly naked
And I wanna heal you all I wanna feel it all
Til I collapse I’ll never stop I’ll keep on moving cause
I wanna hear you all I wanna feel it all
Til I collapse I’ll never stop stop stop
Yeah I’m thinking out loud but I won’t turn down
Thinking I’m bound but I will break out
Thinking I’ll make that mountain climb I’ll make it mine I’ll make it true
Even if you don’t vibe every line that’s cool
I’ve been on my own wave since pre-school
I live for the moment sing to the homeless thinking that it’s time to bring you home
It’s time to bring you home
One two three four
[Outro]
Saying we will rise when the old don’t care
Saying we will rise when the old don’t care
Living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair
Living for a vibe when they don’t fight fair
We will rise when the old don’t care
Saying we will rise when the old don’t care
Just living for a vibe
Living for a vibe
Living for a vibe
Living for a vibe

Emergency Broadcast

[Speech]
This is an emergency broadcast
As our planet begins to fight back against global corporations
dumping hundreds of thousands of tons of pollution into our oceans and air every year
Billionaires race to space in preparation of colonizing the next frontier
for their next several generations of bloodlines and beyond
In our never-ending thirst for more can we continue to advance without changing who we are
Without fixing our problems we face here and now
Can we ascend Or will we crash and burn

Ascension
03:28

[Intro]
Waiting finding that place inside of me
[Verse 1]
When I was younger I was playing by myself in rooms for days
that turned to years and turned my pages to a hermit in a maze
my emotions and my thoughts distracted had to make my way
through shadow figures guarding portals so the sheep could not escape
I tried to sleep to my dismay I learned too much now I’m awake
Inside a fever dream of powerful elites that bar the gates to my ascension
But my mental builds dimensions in my brain in the space that they couldn’t fill with hate
[Chorus]
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now
Why do we cave when we get what we want
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now
Why do we cave when we
[Verse 2]
Put me on ten like you never really heard this
Well you have now that I found my purpose
Feeling this high don’t know where the earth is
Meditate levitate gone from the surface
The word is pass the mic to pacify these pastures past the lies
Got us moving b-backwards fast I’m magnifying facts before decline
Which way should the wave shift
Have patience nah it’s right now and we have to face it
Way gone from the days peace feigned the basics
Move on from the money made too complacent
I got me a spaceship my crew is on to make songs that can heal the nation
Tell em you can sing a long or be gone to hatred
I just gotta put it on for my generation yeah yeah
[verse 3]
And now I’m older had to shoulder weight of worlds
That grew from boulders to the mountains to pangea
From exposure of our leaders full of power yet the weakest they devour
All the forest and the streams for our ease of the sequence
Like we’re made of diseases at our worst but best believe it
If we pick apart the demons at the top so we don’t need em
Maybe then one day we’ll stop the overharvest of our mother
Red tears from her eyes still bleeding
[Chorus]
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now
Why do we cave when we get what we want
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now (right now)
It’s hard to get up it’s hard to stay up now
Why do we cave when we-
[Verse 4]
I don’t suppose you will oppose if you g-get what you wanted
And meet the quota in the corner of your cubicle knowing
We’ll be too old to leave our problems for the children that’s haunted
So think before you sit there posting heavy potions and tonic
Feeling down bad cause we can’t stay up
Pushing right back when I say so what
Till I’m in a toe tag and my bag sewn shut
I’ll be laying down tracks till the world wakes up
I know the spirit in me is strong
More than the fear and what we did wrong
Feels like forever look at our clock it’s going
Till it’s gone
[Outro]
Waiting finding that place inside of me
Waiting finding that place inside of me

[Intro]
I call it how to lose friends and infuriate people all In one easy lesson
Mmmm
[Verse 1]
In my robes I am free and fluid
Open as my palms
And as I flow with movement
What I want comes easy in my arms
My work is never done
But when it’s fueled by dreams and love
It’s hard to sleep it calls to me
I make what I believe
Believe in me
[Chorus]
I’m not ashamed to be who I am
I’m not ashamed to be who I am
I’m not ashamed to be who I am
I’m not ashamed to be who I’ve been
Who I’ve been oooo who I’ve been
Who I’ve been
Break me down to build me up
Got my heart that’s filled with love
All my people know whats up
On my feet or in the ether
Break me down to build me up
Got my heart that’s filled with love
All my people know what’s up
All my people all all my people
[Verse 2]
I was always too soft too fat too this to that in my hometown
Mixed but my skin brown I’m tuned in now
Spirit in my corner telling me that I’m important
And the wisdom I was given couldn’t buy it with a fortune
But I read my cards and I pray for warmth
For the hole in my soul that was ripped apart
That space let the light in
Fire reignited
Left a mark the sun rises over doubts and fears that divide them
Push through pain head up defiant
No more rain that swells up inside him
Put down hatred picked up a pen to escape the matrix
Tell em this my path that’s my creation
Divine I see with more than eyes I’m finding freedom in me
[Chorus]
I’m not ashamed to be who I am
I’m not ashamed to be who I am
I’m not ashamed to be who I am
I’m not ashamed to be who I’ve been
Who I’ve been oooo who I’ve been
Who I’ve been
Break me down to build me up
Got my heart that’s filled with love
All my people know whats up
On my feet or in the ether
Break me down to build me up
Got my heart that’s filled with love
All my people know what’s up
All my people all all my people
[Thomas C Gorton Verse]
With sand in my hand
Grains slip through to my glass half full
An optimistic fool watching time pass learning from every moment
Every small grain an hourglass of past knowledge
A medley of memories drifting together like
Birds of a feather they fly me through the weather pray
If you imagine your life what light do you see
I wish you aplenty
So you can guide yourself and others through the night of their own
Finding home but not alone roam with your people

The Tower Ft. Mood:Bored
01:24
|

[Verse]
He builds a tower every morning at the high rise of noon
His work can be seen as something of splendor
Carefully he calculates and crafts each piece of his tower
Like it’s more important than the sun
And in the crafting his mind is like a string being pulled perfectly from place to place
A divine hand reaches through him to weave this web of life
His hands move like lightning and strike
His intent tugging
His ascent becoming
Until that whole tower crashes and snaps him into place
Snaps him into reality
The one he makes and shapes
This life he calls his home

Divine Wisdom
03:34
|

[Chorus]
I know I can’t rely on you it’s me my spirit’s lead by what’s inside
I know it’s far to reach can you hear me I sing the wisdom from high
[verse 1]
Walking by I caught em staring in public
So take a picture take it with you see me under assumptions
Like cake layers or like ogres and onions
How my music shaping who I’m becoming beneath the sun but I wonder
If other rappers and artists create adjacent to the numbers
I never do it for the money still embracing my struggle
Each and every single day I tend to move where no one goes
And Van Gogh an ear so I don’t hear those cutthroat words
Of barbed wire held inside by their inner child
Hurt people hurt people making even worse people
Till we’re trauma responsive and jealous of our neighbors daughter
Not yet jaded and haunted by evil men and their hunger
I think often when I have children can I teach them feeling god
Intuitive and fluid can’t imagine when I’m not
But I’m aware and prepared of the cost
Of divine wisdom within me I’m never lost coming off
[Chorus]
I know I can’t rely on you it’s me my spirit’s led by what’s inside
I know it’s far to reach can you hear me I sing the wisdom from high
[Bridge]
In my arms they hold me when I’m in doubt
In my eyes it’s holy the channel from my mouth and soul
[Verse 2]
There comes a time we have to choose between what’s right and what’s easy
It might be deceiving but read between the likes and what’s scenic
It’s been a decade and I’m almost reaching heights I’ve been dreaming
But less outside and more internal bare walking through an inferno
Been talking to mirrors more though daily life can be a chore
My mission my compass cannot be ignored
And those past made decisions will add up for you for sure
Karma clean I ask myself if I should wait or open doors
If I pray and meditate I’ll stay connected to my source
What’s divine can be yours let it flow never forced
I feel like diving deep into a water that’s pure
I feel like if I reach it can finally return
To who I was before this body held my soul on this earth
I’m growing I’ve learned to reap what I’ve been sowing to serve
I own my dirt and know the gold that I’m worth
It’s building bridges out of faith love and ink to put my lows into words it go
[Chrous]
I know I cant rely on you it’s me my spirit’s led by what’s inside
I know it’s far to reach can you hear me I sing the wisdom from high
[Outro]
From high
They speak from high
From high
They speak from
They speak from high

Love Will Come Around

[Intro]
Please enter your password then press pound
You have one new voice message
Hey phil it’s mom just thought I’d call you
To see how you’re doing love you bye
Feeling my heart opening and move through pain to heal with sound
Something tells me to have faith love will come around
[Chorus]
Feeling my heart opening and move through pain to heal with sound
Something tells me to have faith that love will come around yeah
Uh Whooooo love will come around yeah uh whooooo love will come around
[Verse 1]
Closed my heart for a couple of days
Skipped the call from my mom and my sister I feel ashamed
That I’m a starving artist trying to moving farther than where I aimed at
When intentions were misplaced break the chain figure eight
Yeah nothing is forever and I know we’re not the same kids
The ones with more heart but really never had the patience
Instead we needed paychecks to pay rent and spend less
To build up to a dead end and live life like they said
Cause dead dreams are more safe it’s guilt-free and painless
To give up when it gets tough
I’d rather go for broke and the joke is I am
Might as well enjoy it and laugh cause this could be the only life I have
Why should I be mad
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it’s so hard to never get what I want
But what I need is given to me
Whether it’s me or it’s god I pray with all of my heart
To keep the music flowing through me to you you you
[Chorus]
Feeling my heart opening and move through pain to heal with sound
Something tells me to have faith that love will come around (Love will come around now)
Feeling my heart opening and move through pain to heal with sound
Something tells me to have faith that love will come around
[verse 2]
Gotta walk before you can run
we all have to crawl and we all have to love
If it’s not yourself then it’s something or somebody else
The mirrors that reflect back to you
But god I feel exposed a flower before it’s grown
My stem has got all its thorns can’t let them in for a second
I guess I live as a lepper
Can you grab my hand and pull me pull me out of this shell
Just pull me out of this hell
Cause I’m shut down and need friends
Can’t reach out I’m too stressed
Head might drown in the deep end
Can we meet up on the weekend
I wonder if you see me now could I let this out
With a smile that’s hanging on your face I’m thinking no doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it’s so hard to never get what I want
But what I need is given to me
Whether it’s me or it’s god I pray with all of my heart
To keep this music flowing through me to you you you
[Chorus]
Feeling my heart opening and move through pain to heal with sound
Something tells me to have faith that love will come around (Love will come around now)
Feeling my heart opening and move through pain to heal with sound
Something tells me to have faith that love will come around yeah
[Outro]
Uh Whoooo love will come around yeah
Uh Whoooo love will come around yeah (Love will come around now)
Uh whoooooo love will come around (yeah)
Uh whoooo love will come around (always back to you)

Blue (Album Version)

[Verse 1]
Oooo
I know she said that she’s done with love
And I know that it’s only a front
Spending long evenings in the bathroom tub
Crying and aching for what she lost
And I’ve been thinking that I should call
Maybe I’ll give her just what she wants
I hold her pieces up to the sun
But maybe I really know nothing at all
[Chorus]
She’s so blue blue blue
Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue
She’s so blue blue blue
Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue
[Verse 2]
Blue my velvet shoes and Eiffel 65
The sky my favorite color watch it multiply
Even though it don’t reside in both her eyes
I see it in her soul we’re talking it to life
You’re locking up inside I’ll open if you let me
Never been the kind to hurt you and forget it
Similar in vibes cinema she cries
Seen the way she’s acting telling me she’s fine
Thinking yeah she is and maybe that’s a crime
But no ones looking at me close to penalize
We can take our time we can maybe hang
Tell me bout the longest part of everyday
There’s nothing wrong with us we chose a closed distance
I told her I miss her I do
Though I flow with my fishes and only you would get that line
Still I will write/ride it for you
[Chorus]
She’s so blue blue blue
Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue
She’s so blue blue blue
Oh hey can I hang with your hue hue
[interlude]
Woah
You don’t even know her
You don’t even know her
Do you know her
Do you know yourself
Hey hey

Up down all around
She’s been going crazy
Moon child cycling
Going through her phases
Up down all around
I’ve been going crazy
Spell bound starry eyed
Maybe we’re the same thing
Up down all around
She’s been going crazy
Moon child cycling
Going through her phases
Up down all around
I’ve been going crazy
Spell bound starry eyed
Go and kill the lights now

One more time and she’ll be mine (she’s so blue)
I’ll sing it one more time and she’ll be mine (she’s blue)
One more time and she’ll be mine (she’s so blue)
I’ll sing it one more time and she’ll be mine (she’s so blue)
One more time and she’ll be mine (she’s so blue)
I’ll sing it one more time and she’ll be mine (she’s so blue)

I’ll sing it one more time (blue blue blue)

[Intro]
Mic Check
(ooooh) Hello
(I could give you comfort) nah I can’t go out right now
I gotta do my thing but
I can come over tomorrow (ooooh)
Does that work for you
Alright I’ll see you then (I could give you comfort)
Bye
[Chorus]
I could give you comfort
I’m just asking that you put down all that hunger
Come to bed for once
I could give you comfort
Never mind a world where love hurts
When you care too much
[Verse 1]
I wanna stay in bed stay asleep
Look away from all the pain outside my window on my street
Order out or cook cause when I eat I seem to feel at peace
Oh wait we don’t have that here
Americans we always dream about
A different country in the clouds
Cause it’s not good enough right now
I turn my microphone loud
These days I might as well whisper for the fear of being cancelled
Take your answers keep your distance take a xan abuse prescriptions
PC gaming still addicted
Feeling like our cultures shifted
Maybe I should wane my interest
Maybe I should write a speech for likes and views no I refuse to be indifferent
I’m confused like where the finish
Till my open heart’s a cynic
Or acidic from the pipelines here
My native blood is crying still I have to wipe my tears
I’m going under from the comfort when my minds not clear
She’s like a mother yet I wonder if my timeline smears
When we’re together will my people get better
It’s easier to forget it
[Chorus]
I could give you comfort
I’m just asking that you put down all that hunger
Come to bed for once
I could give you comfort
Never mind a world where love hurts
When you care too much
[Mama Rose Verse]
I could give you comfort
Won’t you put down all that hunger hunger
I could give you comfort comfort
Never mind a world where love hurts
Broken wings on a love bird
Had to fly for a long time
At peace in my own mind now
I’m saying bye to the summer
Trying hard to remember
Where I was when the day broke
I’ve never felt so far away from home
If snow were to fall where you built your nest
I’d invite you to my own and offer you my breast and say
Why not rest
I’ve got comfort to keep you
And the things you need I need to
How about this winter we sleep through
Make love deep as the sea blue
We can stay together all I ask is you be see through
And I promise if I hurt you I don’t mean to
Let me see you let me see you let me see you
[Chorus]
I could give you comfort
I’m just asking that you put down all that hunger
Come to bed for once
I could give you comfort
Never mind a world where love hurts
When you care too much

Take Me As I Am

[Intro]
Take me as I am
I will do the same mmmmm
Take me as I am
I will do the same
[Chorus]
Take me as I am and I will do the same
I got too high again now I can’t drive can I stay over here
Take me as I am and I will do the same
And if I crossed a line I’m sorry don’t you worry
I’ll be here until it’s over I’ll be here
Here
[Verse 1]
Summer came quick like the sound out your lips
Telling stories even if the plot doesn’t make sense
Still we looking forward at the stop signs where it ends
Like a chorus sung one last time well you said
That you always thought that we would be together
Through the rain snow clear skies whatever
And I’m thinking back forever never seemed realistic
Cause my dreams create a distance from the people here that listen to me sing
Till I’m back home i’ll meet you at my backdoor
And if I act a fool it’s cause I wanna hear you laugh more
Like you can smoke a little or a lot it’s bout the company
Like you can always come to me with anything that’s troubling your mind
[Chorus]
Take me as I am and I will do the same
I got too high again now I can’t drive can I stay over here
Take me as I am and I will do the same
And if I crossed a line I’m sorry don’t you worry
I’ll be here until it’s over I’ll be here
Here
[Verse 2]
Build it up and break it down
You don’t want a savior now
You just lit your matches burning bridges in your vacant town
You don’t need forgiveness they can witness that you wear a crown
And even if I’m mad at you I never wanna let you down
My skin is brown and yours is pale
We’re on a ship that never sails anymore
But when it did I guess I saw it as a kid
Too naïve I couldn’t breathe with tears of salt could fill the sea
It’s my fault in my stars I couldn’t have a change of heart
When we whispered secrets in the day and in the dark
If we lay beneath a tree can we forget about our scars
Cause I still love you as your best friend Phil
I am blessed that we met and together we could heal for real
[Chorus]
Take me as I am and I will do the same
I got too high again now I can’t drive can I stay over here
Take me as I am and I will do the same
And if I crossed a line I’m sorry don’t you worry
I’ll be here until it’s over I’ll be here
Till your light says closed yeah I’ll be here
Here
I’ll be here
Here

[Chorus]
One day you’ll see
That change is not your fault
But it’s something we still need
One day you’ll see
That soon the rain will stop
You’re gonna dry your eyes in peace
It’ll happen when it happens
When it happens
[Verse 1]
I was wise I was blind I was human
I was barely hanging on by the thread of the music
From my pen dripped my heart I had to clear out the sewage
Had to re-route could almost hold me to it
And lately I think the air around my cities polluted I’m used to it
Since my mom sold the house I’ve been drifting and more useless
And the more I complain I feel my brain and it’s fluid move
Solidifying tears crystalizing
But tell me why brother don’t you cry
There ain’t another life
Patch those wings up you can try
Even if you don’t hit it for a second you will fly
It’ll all make sense if you give it some time
Give it patience you are night sky for now stuck to the ceiling
Had the glow in dark ones as a kid now I be it
Maybe something that can fight away our fears while we’re dreaming
Someone’s gotta stay awake stay awake to feel it
[Chorus]
One day you’ll see
That change is not your fault
But it’s something we still need
One day you’ll see
That soon the rain will stop
You’re gonna dry your eyes in peace
It’ll happen when it happens
When it happens
[Verse 2]
Second winds have come wake me wake me up
I know I rarely feel in place
That’s why I’m making this with love and it’s tough
I promise Phil it’s just a hill and nothing more than
Where you’ve been before with tools and skills
To conquer in this war that’s inward
The picture’s never perfect till you take it look at it embrace it
You are needed now so stay and keep that flame lit
I’m just thankful that I’m here alive
Overcoming doubt and all those louder thoughts of suicide
Help me help me out we’ll get there
With every friendship ended
Past remarks of warmth will mend it
It comes and goes in cycles life and death we can’t pretend then
When my candles out I wanna hold what I remember
Something burning bright in our eyes don’t go away but
Every smile and frown that’s on a face will fade
The only guarantee we have is change
Is change (That won’t go away won’t go away)
One day (No that won’t go away)
You’ll see
One day you’ll see (that won’t go away)
