01. Instinct
you are so fast asleep
dogs bark across the stream
you don't disturb
sense to reach out and hold your hand
and although my head is in the clouds
my heart don't suffer any doubts
if my last words to you were in the morning
i would say i have lived for you
call it instinct
insomnia but i smile
one of my gifts understanding time
i light a candle in my head
so we all get what we deserve
you laugh from inside your dream
wonder now what you can see
must be good it makes you turn around
soon i shall fall to your breathing

02. Lilac Tree
could have fallen for you
but i focused on a friend
selfless love is bright
intentions can run dark
no not mine
connection was pure
suspense a substance
energy a spark
de doo doo doo
between the whitehorn flowers
and the fragrance of the lilac tree
the universe it opened
it cracked and revealed to me
if i am consumed again
got to see god in her eyes
she must be a jedi
she must be a mastermind

03. Clones And Genes
take a clone, take a gene
take a clown, take me
can't simulate, any of this essence
no

intelligence, or a laugh
can't fabricate, any draft
that can reveal, where life really comes from
no
uh uh uh uh uh uh
will you ever know how i feel
get to glow something real
lord i feel it, everyday
even when i go, another way
trips me down, makes me feel
easier
uh uh uh uh uh uh
lord i see it versing with trees
see it in the passion of lovers kissing
sparkle behind all of the children
smiling
uh uh uh uh uh uh

05. Fog And Clouds
say you want me to love someone
say i do but it's a different form
for what we had was special
i know it's not fair to compare
but i can't help thinking about an absolute
i can't help thinking about the ways of you
face flat against the window
law says i got to let it in like jude
breathing steams up the window
i'm open now
it has to, gotta
it want to, oughta
be good
say you understand where i'm coming from
how nature loves different ways
not 'bout being an individual
more of a collective everybody thing
come on and work it out, i know you can somehow
come on and work it out, i know you shall somehow

06. Near New Day
if you could show me peace
restore my reason
show me what justice is
show me how not to judge
people carry the war
of the blind souls to their cages
feel for all of those who balance this way
walking with angels, talking to strangers
breaking all the dangers, removing all barriers
tearing of the collars and ties
boots clothes and all the lies
i am naked again
i am naked again

07. Metaphysical Invitation
that feeling, of being so in love
that thought, spirit of it
that complete emotion
will remain, living in, my soul long after i am dead
come let us meet in our imagination
honest metaphysical invitation
where only real love, where only real love
where only real love resides
soul succumbified
paralyse, paralyse my pardon
perturbment, thief of my
thief of my minds kingdom
but i don't, listen to stuff like that
i emphasise, we are still loving

08. I
body is my weapon
filling up with the world's wrong
my eyes are glittering
still swollen up with awe
fine this time, fine this time
soul is now in season
once weathered with age
and I shall commit no treason
to the promises i have made
fine this time, fine this time
my love, my love, my love, my love
repaying for receiving
there i throw my stand
conveying and convincing what I have
in my plan
fine this time, fine this time
my love, my love, my love, my love
my love, my love

09. Around Now
so i am not the only one
the good ones are synchronised
spiritualised, actualised now
things shall never be the same again
come around now for real
some words for the fallen
you can be better
wiser, brighter
there is still time

Left Behind

|
10. Left Behind
had to get control of my senses
had to find a way to relate
had to continue on my journey
somehow i left you behind
if you only knew what i was going through
heart wasn't singing like it used to
soul was somewhere far away
it called to me so quietly
just didn't want to confuse you
just didn't want to bring you down
you know i am always thinking of you
you know my love will always be around
now it seems that i have found myself
looks like i'm getting where i was looking
hopefully you shall see this too someday
then we can play like children again

some days i am peter pan
some nights i am winnie the pooh
some days i am enlightened
some nights i am a fool
somehow i get frightened
somehow i remain cool
sometimes my tongue gets tied
sometimes i speak too soon
bonafide abide by, abide by my love oh uh ah
some days i am Kahlil Gibran
some nights i a blue moon
some days i am Jesus Christ
some nights i am a recluse
somehow i might get lost
somehow i find my clues
sometimes i feel inhuman
the tests of being true
bonafide abide by, abide by my love oh uh ah
bonafide abide by, abide by my love yeah

12. Things And
thank you for leaving
found a love that's turned to grace yeah
now my spirit is frutiful
appears to be in the right place yeah
farewell travel onwards
hope your journey takes you far
if you ever find a love
hope it's the love you're looking for
heavens rain is falling
you might think this is sad
only a mmatter of perception
'tween melancholy and gladness
as
now i know better than the past
gonna write you a letter to make you laugh
seven angels tip their hats
now i know better than that
gonna write you a letter to make you laugh
