Prayer

There is power in what you ask for
There is fear in what we don’t say
I’m a speck of dust on the path unwinding
If there are others, they’re bound to be there
I may fall to the death of us all
I may fill to the brim of emotion
I’m a century incarnation,
Splitting open for a better beginning
I don’t want to be alone
There must be somebody, show me somebody
I don’t want to be alone
What is the answer, and where do I go from here?
Swear that I won’t let my heartbreak
Make me disregard the things that I value
I am not gonna die on this mountain
I am not gonna fall into doubting
I don’t want to be alone
There must be somebody, show me somebody
I don’t want to be alone
What is the answer, and where do I go from here?

Ballad of Earth and Moon

I caught a glimpse of your light
Last night, before the sunrise
But your touch was
Cold as ice
Are you under any spells that
Might go wrong?
What can I do to get close to you
And why do you see me the way you do -
Frozen?
Barren?
You and I are one and same:
Fire courses through the veins
Under both our skin
Lay with me
I’d like to meet you
I don’t know you
But I’ll try

Microplastic
03:21

Once in a life opportunity
To get what you want at the price that you need
And if you don’t mind the microplastic,
Hurry up, because the deal’s fantastic!
It’s $9.99 but if you act now,
It might just make it all better (somehow!)
If only I could be
Like people in the movies
I feel some kind of way…
And it’s clearer in 4K!
The savings can be found
When you buy two more the next time
I could turn my anxious life around
But if you don’t care about microplastic,
Hurry up, because it might not last long.
9 out of 10 doctors agree
That you’re looking tired and lonely
Are you tired of trying meditation?
What you need is a change of location!
Flights to Miami are going fast;
You better be first, or you’re gonna be last!
I can’t afford to be
Living in this city
The debt keeps piling,
Faster than money coming in
There must be more to life
Than struggling to survive…
I work so fucking hard,
So just put it on my card!
I’ve earned myself a treat,
I’ll have self-restraint the next time
I could turn my anxious life around
But if you don’t care about microplastic,
Hurry up, because it might not last long.

Left Alive

How could I know you,
When you don’t show yourself
To anyone else?
Let the time be now,
To be all you are!
Without leaving a part of you
On the table
Behind the shadow of yourself
We are staging a break out
You can run and you can shout
There is no stopping us now
You better step aside, cuz it’s all coming down!
Emergency, all personnel:
There are prisoners on foot outside
And for their crimes of breaking free,
I’m afraid they can’t be left alive
Growing in to strength you have:
There’s no money in all of that!
There is no room in my head
For any of the noise you said
Diagnostics, failure system-wide
Somebody better get me eyes on the ground!
And show those fuckers what’s in store
When they take the freedom that I want
Is there no respect for rules? Come on!
Oooh, I wanna be left alive
Is that a crime?
I wanna be left alive
Oooh, I wanna be left alive
Is that a problem?
I wanna be left alive

Affirmations

I love you, you are enough
I know you think that you’re not worthy of this love
I see you, and you’re afraid
That you’re not deserving for the choices that you’ve made,
The animal you are
Closer to love
We move closer to love
Enough with all the doubt
Let go of the pain and slowly breathe it out
I love you, you are enough
I know you think that you’re not worthy of this love
I see you, and you’re afraid
That you’re not deserving for the choices that you’ve made,
The animal you are
Closer to love
We move closer to love
Enough with all the doubt
I am enough, I am enough
I am worthy of this love
I am enough, I am enough
I am worthy of this love
I am enough, I am enough
I am enough, I am enough
I am enough, I am enough

Visions

|
All that I’ve wanted, and all I acquired
Just made me more anxious and made me more tired
Lately my heart doesn’t mean what it used to
I never found it, and I didn’t choose to
I never could finish as much as I wanted
The pleasure is fading just as soon as it started
Have you come to take me? I don’t think I’m ready
My bills are unpaid, and my credit’s unsteady…
Come into the garden
Leave it all behind you
Let me show you everything
I die again
(Again, again)
Come into the garden
Leave it all behind you
Let me show you everything
Come into the garden
Leave it all behind you
Let me show you everything
Where do we begin?
Heavy secrets, hidden hearts
Show me more that I forgot
My lovers and my closest friends
Is this real or in my head I’m
Dying to be part of it
Take a drag and a second hit of this night
My animals, my family
Everyone I wish to see
They tell me they are proud of me
I’m smiling through the tears and singing out
I’ve had a good time
I’ve had a good time
I’ve had a good time
I’ve had a good time
