Slumlord 04:22
lyrics

Pack the house, hit the road, climbed up and over mountain tops Baby you and I on the other side We cast a net, threw a line, wondered if the feelings right Just wanted a place to call all our own Find a job, you got two, working too much, getting through Dropped three grand trying to land, make a choice and move This is divine intervention undefined by convention Water it and watch it grow But this city life was harsh and it worked us to the bone Maybe desperation breeds stupidity Went ahead and signed a lease to a little hole in the wall, and the walls were caving in We gave our money to a slumlord, but we’re getting it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you're Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up It’s energy anyway (just energy) so we’re giving it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you’re Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up Up up up up and away, luck what did you say, shucks Look around see that natures always growing Even since the lives of the ancients, we can feel the vibrations Baby cause it was our love you know that kept us afloat Dreams and visions of our souls reflecting light into dark holes You know the infinite scope, peer through your lens and watch the universe turn We gave our money to a slumlord, but we’re getting it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you're Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up It’s energy anyway (just energy) so we’re giving it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you’re Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up We gave our money to a slumlord, but we’re getting it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you're Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up It’s energy anyway (just energy) so we’re giving it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you’re Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up Lost deep inside why did I lie (oh why did I lie) Darkness, darkness always tries to hide Now that I'm out free from the doubt Truth can be painful, but this is the only way to find our real beauty Love's alive, its shining right through me I can see you’re by my side, letting go and opening our eyes We gave our money to a slumlord, but we’re getting it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you're Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up It’s energy anyway (just energy) so we’re giving it back Lifeline, something to believe in when you’re Steady keeping it on, steady keeping it up

Paint Roses Red 03:38

Spider webs know, set up for the kill Cobwebs don't care if it's dust or flies I got my own web, it's a sticky mess But it keeps me safe tucks me in at night Paint roses red Wake up laughing in bed Homes filled with things Don't mean anything I tickle your toes you slept in way too long Love is a moment lost in time Life isn't a race, there's no finish line I'd rather live than die trying, trying Paint roses red Wake up laughing in bed Homes filled with things Don't mean anything Which one's a dream It's not all as it seems You're the queen Alice You are Queen Alice Bottom line we're going far Cause in this dream there's no escape Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Paint roses red Wake up laughing in bed Homes filled with things Don't mean anything Which one's a dream It's not all as it seems

Rubberbands 03:51
lyrics

Life shines through, all things are life beams We flicker in and out, beings Creating and revolving (destroying and evolving) Music mutes the pain (meanwhile) We're learning letting go and then there is a freedom in now We're in the thick of it, the disconnect is stealing our souls But we can do this, own our positive selves and be whole Instead of trying to control all things, open a channel where we all can sing Ah shine, ah remember Love is true and life delivers Be the one, ignite the giver That's right we live here Look at us we are human beings, so much more than what we seem Together we are growing It's not the anything material you bought or you sold It's not decaying nor believing that a spirit grows old I sure don't have the answers but I'll own my truths, Love is real maybe life is proof Me and my rubberbands Bouncy ball falling out of my hands Nobody’s gonna walk you through this Me and my rubberbands In the moment so we don't need plans Nobody's gonna walk you through this Instead of trying to control all things Open a channel where we all can sing Me and my rubberbands, bouncy ball falling out of my hands Nobody's gonna walk you through this Me and my rubberbands, in the moment so we don't need plans Nobody's gonna walk you through this Instead of trying to control all things open a channel where we all can sing

Whole World's Laughing 03:42
lyrics

Pinstripes don't mean anything If you got your blues cap on Cause in fashion there's only one secret It's your mood that shapes your clothes But I would give anything to be naked and seen Not for this flesh but for a being I would go dance in the streets, smile at people I meet Go skipping pebbles just for fun The whole world's laughing Whole world's laughing today Till perma-grin hurts your face Best kind of pain What fine taste, the soul's decor Paint landscapes with your eyes Ancient cities and newborn stars in space The blueprints in your heart I'm climbing to the tallest tree, wanna root through my feet And sing a song for everyone Maybe it would sound like this or like rain on a fish This water planet's lots of fun The whole world's laughing, Whole world's laughing today Till perma-grin hurts your face Best kind of pain Cause everybody Is their own variety see See everybody Dances a little bit different to the beat And we ain't changing for no one The whole world's laughing Whole world's laughing today Till perma-grin hurts your face Best kind of pain Don't fall asleep, I'm barely waking Don't fall asleep, I'm barely waking Pinstripes don't mean anything

Let go, be empty, set free, yes please Moments returning, beings becoming Heart beats, the world spins so fast Unreal, I just wanna, I just wanna slow down You know what we mean when you're feeling it feeling it Dancing so deep you know you're being it believing it You know what we mean when you're feeling it feeling it Dancing so deep Now we are under, above Music forever is love Redeeming beating hearts Rhythmically becoming a glove that fits We have been the stars all together Individuals, but the light can only be severed Light knife, existential other side of a coin Like life, night and day, we can only keep going Spins as it does, spirals falling and rising Enough was always enough Down can also mean up I wonder What have we done World's burning up, slow down, easy now, turn this music up Where are we going Oh so fast change is happening again What happens now Is up to us whatever we wanna be we are Growing, growing, growing pains Life can be so busy where we live in our minds Truth is rising right along with every sunrise and set Look up, stars speak, remember Origins of everything, beacons of splendor Life changes ever new, a very strange strange brew I believe in us and hope that you’re believing in you Only way we're gonna make it for our people and our mother Is to stop this mass extinction Work with one another What have we done World's burning up, slow down, easy now, turn this music up Where are we going Oh so fast change is happening again What happens now Is up to us whatever we wanna be we are Growing, growing, growing pains Grow into another today We can do it this way We've the power to change Moments we're becoming aware While they used to fly by as a calendar sighed Life heals if it's open to light, and it's open to night, and the phases between Infinite as the nature of truth Where the Goddess remains and the spiral is proof What have we done World's burning up, slow down, easy now, turn this music up Where are we going Oh so fast change is happening again What happens now Is up to us whatever we wanna be we are Growing, growing, growing pains

I'm an astro boy, never mind this noise Could have split your soul wide You can let it run, but you're the only one Beauty under the skin where your baby has been Wide world and a love that always wins We run over ourselves making love to ourselves The world is tons of fun, but I get overrun Staring up into that sun It just turns and turns, sometimes we get burned Oh roller coaster souls We love our rock and roll Love is strong but it digs us holes And I've been digging on you since digging wasn't cool Oh, it just happens to me I know I don't know, a little trick and believe it Oh, it just happens to us We know, we don't know, a little love and no fuss Hush hush, hush hush Oh, it just happens to me I know I don't know, a little trick and believe it Oh, it just happens to us We know, we don't know, a little love and no fuss Hush hush, hush hush Walk forward and through in your spirit shoes Walk forward and through in your spirit shoes Transcendentally Staring brightly, holding your first love Your light to prove your heart is true Walk forward, you walk forward Soul walks forward Oh, it just happens to me I know I don't know, a little trick and believe it Oh, it just happens to us We know, we don't know, a little love and no fuss Hush hush, hush hush

Solar flares and gardens bare The rain will come some day The internet, technology has gotten in my way Someone's trying to tell me, look and pay attention If it lives, if it grows than it's gold If it breathes, you believe Home grown, home grown Home grown, home The moment is happening, listen, look up We're planting the seeds and we're spreading the luck We've been up, down, copy pasted Life can test you, stop and taste it Slowing down is a major prerogative I want to take hold of the positive Becoming the beings we know that we always have been Home grown, home grown Home grown, home grown Home grown, home Fly away, fly away These hands are caked in mud, Fly away my love Home grown, home grown Home grown, home Make believe cause children see Philosophize your mind Cause you will grow up stronger still The ego won’t beat your stride Home grown, home grown Home grown, home grown Home grown, home grown

Waking up inside of this skin It isn't always easy You gotta let a little light in Stars are always shining Moon calls out to the tides Tides bring life and rebirth Words came out in a flurry Please never mind me if was in a hurry Maybe it won't mean nothing at all Yeah maybe it won't mean nothing at all Spilling out the soul right now It isn't always easy Offering a song to sing and dance, and feel the way a heart beats Baby our forever is a becoming us now, we can never stop How could we ever try to go back You know love beats true at the core Just sing to the score No less and lots more but Maybe it won’t mean nothing after all is said and done, played and sung We rise, take a look in our eyes Reckon this is all going down, right about now Ah love please remember your sign Life will align Vibe to the frequency Vibe to the frequency We rise, take a look in our eyes Reckon this is all going down, right about now Ah love please remember your sign Life will align Vibe to the frequency (choose our reality) Vibe to the frequency

Love is Forever 04:17

Black, black as asphalt baby This heart is red as plum wine vinegar In a bottle on my window sill A love letter, the thrill is real What do you want to say to me Talking bout the birds and the bees And if you never say it again Then baby we just could be friends But my kinda love sets souls on fire My love is your desire Love is forever a treasure you can't buy Oceans of doubt are so shallow we get by Hope is our boat though it's small we survive Talk, talk is cheap But baby those actions they speak They ripple out louder than words Changing lives not selling verbs but spreading light In this world that's spinning round It'll slow down if we find our ground And if we stick together through the bad weather We'll find out what we're about Cause all human beings need different things We all need a little more love You know it's true Love is forever a treasure you can't buy Oceans of doubt are so shallow we get by Hope is our boat though it's small we survive Love is forever a treasure you can't buy Oceans of doubt are so shallow we get by Hope is our boat though it's small we survive

Get Up 04:02

Haphazardly the words had slipped as I sped Looking up to find the truth, finding questions instead Looking down I was not quite so backwards, yet not ahead No more regrets now get it right on task Still thinking of a feeling that lasts Forever sexy future past Waking and walking and recently talking Old ways are fumbling, life is so humbling Get up everybody get up Find a positive, hold on, never give up How can I balance unbalanced Not plugged in yet not unplugged Days awake are fully beautiful, infinity shrugs Lots of love is nice and yes today is true as such Remember a moment so on it and in it forever Your lips, a touch You've got curves my body can feel We meld so cleverly, blissful appeal Within those eyes this lover can heal Kisses to steal sweetheart Get up everybody get up Find a positive, hold on, never give up Lady love you've got me spinning Now we’re feeling so right Obviously lady luck is on my side, this is our night I won't stop until your body quakes Even after love you give me the shakes My One, you wake me with your big sunrise Multiverses in your eyes Our love stops time How wonderful is it to come in a rhyme Get it, you got it, we get with the plot Long distance, non stop Get up everybody get up Find a positive, hold on, never give up Stick with your star Hope it keeps on rising, forget about it We can't control this Stick with your sign I feel the darkness too, but forget about it Together we get back up (together we’ve got back up) Get up everybody get up Find a positive, hold on, never give up

This is a moment known as now How sad it's overrun by the when or the how you gonna get those bills paid Illusion of time, the lives it takes What can you say life, let love live war is wasteful We'd rather not, we'd rather peace thanks Like a life that's on a slow burn Slowed in fact to find a soul yearns Open me up like a well worn novel Often misread, misunderstood, miss ah well Did you feel something this time It doesn't matter, but I feel fine Satellites can trip on this shit I hope it scrambles up brainwash signals a bit Reconnect with roots of world trees Barefoot music sets your soul free I need this music, yes I need music I need this music, right now Smooth the go, remember winter froze, and however spring did linger, summer’s fall now Staccato melody beats true meets blue skies Whisper, release, legato love-song, sunrise Life twists and goes, my how it grows And all we are in origin, back to light I need this music, yes I need music We need this music, yes we need music Right now I need this music, yes I need music We need this music, yes we need music Right now Right now
