If you're paying attention
Pay a little more
Are you prepared
For what's in store
Do I have your attention
Do I have the floor
Just making sure
For sure, you're
You're a little uncertain
You're even unconcerned
Oh but you're concerned
With what you earn
You're a little pretentious
I'm a bit perturbed
Nature provides undisturbed
Whoa baby I started a fire
A fire in my mind I started
And I can't put it out
I'm so full of doubt
I found out, look out
These thoughts are just mental illusion
Your ego playing out its confusion
How could you be so sure of yourself
How long you been exploring yourself
Not long, not nearly long enough
To say you're a master
A master of your own disaster
That's just where it's leading you to
I see a revolution bleeding on through
The last ingredient is faith in myself
Expedientially I'll view the path exceeding from hell
Moving up one space in the game
The circle completes itself and then you do it again

I am a drop in his infinite ocean
Blowing on the breeze
The breeze
I find myself completely devotion
All I am is this
Is this
I seek a world in peace
In peace
Where is this world in peace
In peace
I'm in a world of peace
In peace
I am a world in peace
In peace

(_ Lyrics _)
I sing songs for somebody else
Think you're not good enough to hang with the best
Recurring themes loop around in my head
Before too long I can forget what I did
Do I belong
Do I have a place in your life
Can I perform
A miracle before your eyes
Do you approve, do I have your consent
Am I a charm you can wear round your neck
Embrace your skin and caressed by your breath
Cause when it stops there'll be not one thing left
Do I belong
Do I have a place in your life
Can I perform
A miracle before your eyes

Lyrics
Still waiting, contemplating, even debating where it all went wrong
Left facing, retracing, step by step I'm picking at my faults
Loose ended, heaven sent you know
It's a message, a message from the throne
Receiver, a non-believer, he wont believe it 'til the work gets done
I learned something new today, just like I do everyday
Share your story of the day
I hope it's kinda funny
You see, you feel
Let me in on what has been revealed
You lied, this time, I have the right to know just what is mine
I say, this time as if I've lived many other lives
Controlled, enslaved, I guess I took this burden to the grave
Excavation of my mind
I must erase, press rewind
Eradicate the hate branded into me
Demonstrate innate possibilities
Set it straight to the date, cant wait, compensate for the lack of clarity in my life
Well that's okay went away, sad to say, but today, I get swayed from the moment of waking up
A call, a call to arms my friends
But what we really need is brothers
Mind set on bringing forth an end
They just like the pretty colors
Don't go, be strong
In time we'll prove them wrong
A tale, tonight
Two men to fight
You've been, dragged in
Does it even cross your mind
You're here, right now
Don't you question why, where, what, when, how
Connections, connecting, reflecting holographic worlds
Each cause has an effect and, that effect had a cause to itself
Don't bother objecting, subjecting to the mask of time
It leads us, proceeds us
All those skeptics were surprised
To be, to see, their life in another light
Too bad, so sad
Now who do we learn from
Not me, I'll be happy far away from here
Relieved, at ease
You see, you feel
Let me in on what has been revealed
You lied, this time, I have the right to know just what is mine
Don't go, be strong, in time we'll prove them wrong
A tale, tonight
Two men to fight
You've been dragged in
Does it even cross your mind
You're here, right now
Don't you question why, where, what, when, how
Why, where, what, when, how
Why, where, what, when, how

This is a gift for you
Will you accept?
Just take a risk or two
Don't second guess
Cause you know that's none or all
Some sooner ready to hear the call
I believe in this miracle
You say you're sure, are you really though
You see me moving in your space and time
I believe, I believe in life
How far will you go
Will it be the same
When you're gone?
How far will you go
Will it be the same
When you're gone?

Thanks to Eli @levmusic for his creative vision for this video
Lyrics:
Armed with the pride
We need to fight your wars
And we cannot unite
Cause we’re so far apart
Now can you tell yourself
Seeing is believing
Cause I can’t, I can’t tell
I don’t believe you got a trick up your sleeve
Because you take too long
It’s kinda hard to see
Well if you’re gonna make moves
You gotta make them soon
Quit talking so much
The world's counting on you
To take your part
You got to play it smart
Keep your head on straight
To change the current state
Of the mess we’re in
So just let it begin
Cause it’s a brand new day
A brand new way to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's be, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick your belief
Whatever brings you relief
And don’t question the point
You could forget about choice
And watch your greatest dreams
Get swallowed up by routines
You give your power away
And then you sit there and pray
If I could only be
The greatest version of me
If I could overcome, the challenges to see
That I could take my time
With an open mind
Cause it's a brand new day
A brand new way to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So let’s be yeah, yeah, yeah
Armed with the pride
We need to fight your wars
And we cannot unite
Cause we’re so far apart
Oh well I’m armed with the pride
We need to fight your wars
And we cannot unite
Cause we’re so far apart now
Can you tell yourself
Seeing is believing
Can you tell yourself
That this is true
If what you see
And what you got
Turns out to be what’s not
Well then what will you do

Far away in my astral body
No one's here to speak these naughty, things to me
I have been so many places
I have seen so many faces, though I know, it's all the same
Who am I, to complain, one more mind, deemed insane
Who am I, Who am I to tell you
What is real, what is fake, all of which we create
It's just that, now it's just that
What is right, what is wrong
Different rythmym a different song
But it's all, yet it's all
Though it's all, one true language
Music reaches out of mind, out of body, out of time
Hits the soul, that soul that so few turn to
Is it too, overwhelming to say I'm sorry
Will the war, be over if I give in
The words which hold, consequence, they burrow within
Run along, sing your songs, together
Witness different points of views
Anything that suits you, is fine
No really, it's fine
Consider this party time
Don't forget to bring your wine
It gets cold, now don't let that ish get cold
Who am I to complain
One more mind deemed insane
Who am I, Who am I, Who am I to tell you
What is real, what is fake
All of which we create
It's just that, now it's just that
Stories start, to unfold, break the ice, break the mold
Never heard, not a word, never told
Secrets, secrets are no fun, secrets are for everyone
Ain't ya heard, ain't ya heard, it's absurd
Lies have never been much grander, careful my words might be slander.
You never know, what do you know?
What is knowing anyway, the concepts crazy but not today.
I am blind, you are blind, we are all blind.

I don’t want to miss you
You have your life
I’ll hold you back
With the bullshit from mine
It’s hard to accept
I must let you go
We were best friends
It’s all that I know
Tonight’s wreckage, sitting on the table
The guilt it’s strong enough to leave a man disabled
He’s got, two choices, that’s really all he has
It’s life or death, I cancelled all my plans
Cause there’s no point in getting wrapped up in a routine
The grass is just as green on your side, quit sitting on the fence
You paying rent for that space that your invading
The air you think your wasting
The time that you’ve been racing
But who, who is it that your trying to impress
If not for yourself, who deserves the best this world has to offer
It gives it away without reserve
So close your eyes and welcome back to your mother earth
I don’t want to miss you
You have your life
I’ll hold you back
With the bullshit from mine
It’s hard to accept
I must let you go
We were best friends
It’s all that I know
Now wait a minute, how did we get to tipping point
We seen it coming, we turned our heads in disregard
You better believe your actions have an impact ont his world
You better believe what you put in comes back at you
Despite the way you think it disappears whenever you can’t see it
So you buy a ready made life, with a ready made secret
It’s not meant to last forever, built in obsolescence
They count on that shit breaking, count on you to change your preference
Now you open your eyes, open to reveal
What they advertise, operating interference
And while you navigate this sea of what you want dissatisfaction grows cause you pretend to be something your not
You’re not a consumer
You’re not the choice between this or that
You’re not what’s in your wallet
You’re not the clothes on your back
The value of your life won’t be defined by your possessions
Social class disparity provides us a lesson
It seems that those who have the least have the most of what matters
To be content is finding peace
In peace you gain the power
To pursue your dreams without a selfish theme to be implied
Take time to count your blessings and share in the joy to be alive
I don’t want to miss you
You have your life
I’ll hold you back
With the bullshit from mine
It’s hard to accept
I must let you go
We were best friends
It’s all that I know
Am I a hypocrite, do I talk shit straight out my ass
Do my intentions qualify, do they allow me to pass
If knowing’s half the battle, then shit I’d be a scholar
I’d write three books on social change and then I’d retire
But that’s not the case, cause half the time I’m twiddling my thumbs
Hung up on possibilities but devoted to none
I’m delighted by the idea of what is my potential
These opportunities surround me, and my growth is exponential
I see amazing things happen in the world every day
I see the sun rise and feel it’s light shine down on me
And in that moment, I can finally say
The change I want in this world has to begin with me
I don’t want to miss you
You have your life
I’ll hold you back
With the bullshit from mine
It’s hard to accept
I must let you go
We were best friends
It’s all that I know

I don’t want to miss you
You have your life
I’ll hold you back, with the bullshit from mine
It’s hard to accept
I must let you go
We were best friends
It’s all that I know
I remember the first day that I saw you
You were so cool how could I do anything but adore you
From a distance though because I could only dream
With persistence though, I’d formulate this fantasy
So you can imagine the shock and surprise
That fateful day we locked eyes
Who knew I’d take YOU by surprise
You’d open doors I had inside
Explore these thoughts I could not hide
Who knew that day would last forever and be burned inside my mind
(Chorus)
Now we’ve been having so much fun
Look at the things we’ve done
And in this short ass time, just look what we’ve become
Cuz like
I always thought I would be alone
Without a friend I could call my own
It’s like I screamed out to the Gods and you were what responded
We connect deep, we were just what I wanted
So, ppplease forgive me if I’m being too intense
This is a dream that I had
Where WE were best friends
(Chorus)
Ha ha ha, here it is the best part of the song
You thought there’d be a happy ending
Well you thought wrong
And I gotta stop pretending I meant something to you
Cuz I mean nothing, really nothing can be further from the truth
Let me tell you how it ended, it was over so fast
Turns we were never friends, you just wanted some ass
But since you can’t take rejection, you were gone in a flash
And we were best friends too, now it’s all in the past
(Chorus)

So you want it to be easy
No, I just wanna follow through with what I say
You said this was the last time
I can go without you but
It’s so fun to play this game
What you got
Is what I need
The promise land the air I breathe
Sweet simplicity
I’ll take it all
Give nothing back
Down the rabbit hole
Through the looking glass these
These legs never moved so fast
I had a dream
I can rewrite my stars
I had control
A simple plan
It was a swing in
The dark
I ran the road to the end
It crumbled at my feet
I said goodbye to the world I know and now
It’s a memory
I know if won’t be easy
But it’s hard to watch you fight yourself this way
Your battle scars reveal it
Your eyes cant lie
They give it all away
What you got
Is what I need
The promise land the air I breathe
Sweet simplicity
I’ll take it all
Give nothing back
Down the rabbit hole
Through the looking glass these
These legs never moved so fast
I had a dream
I can rewrite my stars
I had control
A simple plan
It was a swing in
The dark
I let go of the world I know
And I chased the past away
Without a chance
Without a clue
No promise of today
Tides do rise
Yes we must die
Yes we must face our gravest danger
Lurking round
Without a sound
And by surprise
Yes by surprise

How far would you go
To get to know
What you could be
How you could grow
Despite the way
The people say
It's only this
It has to be
How could you make
The best of your time
As life speeds up
And the years
Fly by
Forever’s real long to wait
For you
To change your ways
Oh
Se La vi
La vida es

Que revienta una vez
And at this point
This turning point
No time to waste
There’s goals to chase
It’s make or break
This give and take
And don’t forget
Ain't no regrets
Cuz this might be
Your last chance to get it right
As life speeds up
And the years
Fly by
Forever’s real long to wait.
For you
To change your ways
Oh

Saving grace why did you come for me
Saving grace why cant you let me be
Saving grace what do you see in me
Saving grace some so called destiny
Awake in me, courage to hold my own
Stake in me, asset portfolio
Reluctant me, I'll play the beaten drum
And wait to see, what it is we become
Called to act, I'll play your character
Face this fact, I'll take a stab at her
She captivates, I'm somewhat mesmerized
Tasks we face, unfold throughout our lives
On and on, when we see the fall of all we made
Take it on, meet it face to face
Build it up, the foundation is strong once again
Teared it down, never to be fooled again
Saving grace why did you come for me
Saving grace why cant you let me be
Saving grace what do you see in me
Saving grace some so called destiny

Featuring - Anthony Richichi @tonykillustrator
Lyrics -
Raising up some conscious sense
to pave the dents, fill the gaps of uncertainty
And then there’s times it makes perfect sense
I destroy the fence, dividing divinity
To think I thought, what a thought, I keep in mind while my mind keeps thinking
Raised it up, raising up, I raise it up till I can’t get up, get down
With your brothers, what makes it so hard to just love one another
If we all have to share this rock it comes quite as the shock
We just don't compromise
Take back take time relax, some time to unwind, never mind possibilities
Take that, and frame it in a plaque, wear it on your back just so everyone knows
You, you know the truth You can't be fooled
Even though they’re going to try to say
The only way
Is if you pay
And then you wonder why you’re not happy
So who’s to blame
Is there a name
We can pin this whole mess on
It’s not a game, but it's a game son
Whose side are you on?
God, this is a letter to you
If the situation is true we’re gonna need some help here
Wars, slipping through all the cracks, they got you watching your back
Curiosity killed the fact
Is that we’re running a maze
Cuz I’ve been running for days
I been running from who I am
But if the message was clear, I would no longer fear
I would no longer have to cry, in search of reasoning why
They say you do or you die, there’s no space left in between
There’s no room to relate, there’s no room to debate
I only see what can be seen
And so you know, it’s just a show, so they can keep you under control
To own your mind, to own your time, to own your money, to own your life
Like a thread on a sweater each story tends to unravel
No don't go it’s gets better, just wait to see what it comes down to
You, you know the truth You can't be fooled
Even though their going to try to say
The only way
Is if you pay
And then you wonder why you’re not happy
So who’s to blame
Is there a name
We can pin this whole mess on
It’s not a game, but it's a game son
Whose side are you on?
