Feel the colors

VERSE
C                                                  D#
Imbedded with an implant
C                                                  F
That turns colour into sound

I'm software like a cyborg
My senses spin around

Perception into feelings
Listening to light

Finding my frequency 
High as a kite

CHORUS
Bf     F
Cos I 
                              C
Feel the colours

VERSE
I'm dressing in a C chord
You I'm drawn toward

My type is an F sharp
I like the sound of your face

 reeling with resonance
You gotta lotta bass

CHORUS
And I feel the colours

BRIDGE
Hearing...
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours!

VERSE
In my dreams I am composing
Soundscape scenes

 an extension of the senses
How helpful has it been?

Listening to sunlight
Knowing when to screen

I'm heading off the spectrum
Seeing things you've never seen

CHORUS
I hear the colours

VERSE
Do I prefer Picasso?
Or is Pollock more my style?

No, by far my favourite
Is the supermarket isle

CHORUS
Cos I hear the colours

I i I feel it

I i I feel it

BRIDGE x3
Hearing...
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours
The colours!

Drunk on the Cork

VERSE
                  G#
Infectious ideas 
                 Cm
Common fears
             C#
No pretence

Like pathogens
Are ravaging
Our common sense

Platitudes
Are fuelling feuds
And logics out the window

Think and learn
To discern
By yourself

CHORUS

Cos you're drunk on the cork

Seduced by a smell

A fragrance of empathy

You're under its spell

Drunk on the cork
Peripheral cues
Odour corrupting 
A subterfuge

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
Vacuous 
Meaningless
Semantic shades

The fallacy
No causality
Cosmetic over substance

Cognitive bias
Verbal liars
Enamoured by a voice

Changes

Gather up the pieces of the day
Pushed into the dark and locked away
I fear I’m repeating my mistakes
But I can’t stay
Can’t stay the same

Might take days
Might take ages
You need patience
To make peace with change

Might take days
Might take ages
You need patience
To make peace with change

No can’t stay the same
No can’t stay the same

Gathered myself up to meet the day
Pulled out from the dark what I put away
I think I’m getting free of my mistakes
If I don’t break
I’ll break away

Might take days
Might take ages
You need patience
To make peace with change

Might take days
Might take ages
You need patience
To make peace with change

No can’t stay the same
No can’t stay the same

No can’t stay the same
No can’t stay the same

No can’t stay the same
No can’t stay the same

Where Attention Goes (w/ Jack in Water)

Once in June Dan explained to me a rhyme that i could use 
To reinforce the undivided love I promise on to you and it was simply 
Where attention goes, neural firing flows and neural connection grows 

So to you I dedicate my attention 
In the hope that it fills you with the energy to take on this world 
Where attention goes, neural firing flows and neural connection grows 

There will be no energy wasted on shame 
The only exchange is the fruit of integration 
So we avoid rigid or chaotic frustration 
Where attention goes, neural firing flows and neural connection grows

Too Many People

VERSE
Cm
He thinks the world's on the edge of collapse
F
Tipping over, no way back

Over population is dragging us down
The dice is loaded, and the deck is stacked

        G
The problem is clear to see

CHORUS
Cm
Too many people, the time has come to reset
F
Too many people, and they're not an asset
Cm
Too many people, that the world can't support
F                             Gm
Too many people, but he has means to resort...

INSTRUMENTAL - acoustic guitar solo

VERSE
With diseases and vaccinations
He can control world population

The food supply is his primary aim
Buying land and making marginal gains

He can do whatever he please

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL - acoustic guitar solo

BRIDGE
Inventions of nature that he wants to patent
His goals are click and his aims are blatant

Collecting the seeds and building stocks
He has control over the lot

BRIDGE
But there's one seed that
We should dread

The one that's taken root inside
Bill Gate's head

CHORUS

Masterpiece

Everyday’s an opportunity to create a living masterpiece
The biggest thing that hold us back is the fear of what other people think
Your most authentic self’s available to you every day and everywhere that you meet your feet
Cuz when we’re present and we’re grounded and we’re mindful
That’s when life gets really sweet

Because we’ve all got the chance to be the best versions of ourselves
And we can learn to harness all the gifts we’ve each got to express
You’re enough just because you are
And everything you need is inside of you
Your inner capabilities are absolutely extraordinary

Baby you’re a work of art
The artist is inside your heart
Your body is the canvas
And you’re mind is the paint
Once you can see the picture you can paint it for the world to see

Because we’ve all got the chance to be the best versions of ourselves
And we can learn to harness all the gifts we’ve each got to express
You’re enough just because you are
And everything you need is inside of you
Your inner capabilities are absolutely extraordinary

Baby you’re a work of art
The artist is inside your heart
Your body is the canvas
And you’re mind is the paint
So paint the picture that you want the world to see

No Guarantee

VERSE
C                                           F                   C
You can do all the drugs on God's Green Earth
C                                           F              C
Meet a purple lady, see the Multiverse
Am                                           F                 C
Travel to the darkest parts of your own mind
                       F                          G               C
But there's no guarantee you'll get back to God

VERSE
You can experience the world as a carnival
Take delight in nature and the animals
Wonder in awe at the power of it all
But it might not take you closer to God

Can we change without pain?

130 BPM

VERSE
             A                G                     D
What kind of world are we living in?
            A      G          D
When going out, is giving in
G                           Bm
Do you feel we're one?
G                          D
Or that you're the only one
G                     A                   D
And can we change without pain?

The fractured land society
The prophets failed it's plain to see
Where's the broad prosperity
Promised by their reign
And can we change without pain?


CHORUS
Am                                    Em
Do you ever feel these changes?

All together, going through changes

VERSE
See what freedom has given us
The market is, as stupid does
In the Economists Hour
Hard to explain
How we change without pain

Economists now, have all control
Companies bought, our very souls
In a world in a madness
Strange to be sane
Can we change without pain?

CHORUS


(Original is Capo 7th)




LYRICS:

Where's the broad prosperity
Promised by their reign
And can we change without pain?

Altogether, going through changes

To Make You Smile

VERSE
G                   Em
I worked for years
C               G
Trying to be
Em                     C
The woman that I know you
F#/D               G
Wanted me to be

VERSE
We were so different
You and I
We didn't always see
Eye to eye

CHORUS
C                       Em            G       F#/D                  Em 
I spent my whole life trying to get the world to laugh

I'd have given it all up, just to make you smile

VERSE
I owe you much
Never forget
I'll be forever
In your debt

I prayed perhaps
That you were proud
Even though you never
Said it out loud

CHORUS
I spent my whole life trying to get the world to laugh
I'd have given it all up, just to make you smile

Time and perspective will answer them all
But wish I'd known at the outset

Wherever you are
I wish you well

I spent my whole life trying to get the world to laugh
I'd have given it all up, just to make you smile

A Hose Through Which Love Flows

INTRO
Am
Am I validated feelings
Dm
Am I compassion incarnate
E
Or the darkest of the answers
Am
Resigned to his fate

Yes am I doomed to live forever
With the free will that I chose
Or am I a hose
Through which love flows

VERSE
Am
I'm an accumulation of consciousness
Dm
A wave before the sand
Em
An amalgamation of aspects
Am
At the limit of the land 

Am
I'm growing and collecting
Dm
Where attention goes
Em
And I'm a hose
Am
Through which love flows

VERSE
I'm chaos in the making
And robust rigidity
Desperately adding layers
Trying to fashion identity

I'm refractions of the light   
An animal that knows
And I'm a hose
Through which love flows

VERSE
I'm a bundle of emotions
Each with their own name
Pretending individualism
All desperate for a frame

I'm the wheel of awareness
A whisper dressed in clothes
And I'm a hose
Through which love flows

INSTRUMENT

VERSE
I'm a preacher proud to stand up
A prosecutor who'll fall
A politician in the alley
Answering mother nature's call

I'm integrating hemispheres
The poetry and the prose
And I'm a hose
Through which love flows

VERSE
I'm the left side giving narration
And the right side reaching out
A problem-solving algorithm
Wants to know what it's about

I'm the observer and the object
The audience and the show
And I'm a hose
Through which love flows

I'm a hose through which love flows



EXTRA:

I'm a complex cacophony 
And a very simple chord
An unrepentant sinner
And a spark of the mighty Lord

I'm a part of everyone
Ready to propose
And I'm a hose
Through which love flows



LYRICS to A Hose Through Which Love Flows:

Am I validated feelings
Am I compassion incarnate?
Or the darkest of the answers
Resigned to his fate?

Yes am I doomed to live forever
With the free will that I chose?
Or am I a hose
Through which love flows?

I'm an accumulation of consciousness
A wave before the sand
An amalgamation of aspects
At the limit of the land

Through which love flows

I'm chaos in the making
And robust rigidity
Desperately adding layers
Trying to fashion identity

Sure would like to find out

Is there only what is and what not could be 
Is there any such thing as possibilities 
It’s fun not knowing what it’s all about 
But I sure would like to find out 

And what or where exactly is consciousness 
Any speculation makes the water muddy I guess 
It’s fun not knowing what it’s all about 
But I sure would like to find out 

Every flap of a butterflies wing 
Is both an answer and a question 
That looks into the nature of everything 
There’s an equal mix of tragedy and beauty stored 

In every moment I’m alive how could I ever be bored 
It’s fun not knowing what it’s all about 
But I sure would like to find out 
I’d really really like to find out 
Before I die I’d like to find out

Our bodies grow around the tension
           Em            A7
We take on its form
D                             Asus        Em       A7 
Becoming whatever it is we imagine

We're energetic creatures
But deny our very nature
As we focus on the mass that it creates

BRIDGE
Reach for a pill
We're making ourselves ill

CHORUS

Unclench
D/F#
Let it flow
Em
You are already perfect
D/F#
If you let yourself know

Unclench
Don't be the block
The door will open for you
All you have to do is knock

VERSE
Practicing techniques
To bring the best out of ourselves
But all the patches do is build a barrier

Pressure in the jaw and body
Build up over time
Disconnecting us from ourselves

BRIDGE
Reach for a pill
We're making ourselves ill

CHORUS

Unclench
D/F#
Let it flow
Em
You are already perfect
D/F#
If you let yourself know

Unclench
Don't be the block
The door will open for you
All you have to do is knock

Unclench
Let it be
Your voice is right there for you
All you have to do is talk

And just unclench

OUTRO
Let it go
Let it flow
Become everything you ever want to be

Do it all
Or nothing at all
It's all up to you

So many times
I had to let go of so many lives

The truth as it breathes open my eyes, I'm ready

A matter of time     
A matter of faith
A matter of grace - ooooooh

Come on, come on, come on, come on

A bout to believe
Open my heart and receive

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready,
Help me now, show me how

Ooooooh

Afterlife

Long as you’re by my side
I will make you dinner in the afterlife
Live in our afterworld
Stringing jewelry of gold and pearl

Some bonds don’t break

I come to nourish you with my hands
Make you sculpture in the sand
Hands that work, hands that tire
We form the shape but the shape expires

You know I worked for all these years
Trying my hardest at my life’s career
We been witness to joy and pain
But the world we left was the world we gained

We’re so different, you and I
In a way we never saw eye to eye
Despite the loss that set me free
In a way you’re maybe still guiding me

Some bonds don’t break
We all reshape

Long as you’re by my side
Will you make me laugh in the afterlife
Long as our long dark night
You can lead me on ‘til the morning light

Inches Within

VERSE
I've been all around
Over land and sea
Endless places
Exotic countries

I sought out shamans
Countless masters
I got to nowhere
A hellevua lot faster

CHORUS
I've come so far
Just to begin
It's taken me so long to go
Inches within

VERSE
So much baggage
Excess weight
I know I carried them all
And the toll they take

I passed no devil
No crossroads
Here in the desert
You carry your own load

I followed rumours
I went on a hunch
To arrive at the oasis
For a liquid lunch

CHORUS

VERSE
The only proof I've been moving
Is that I left people behind
They're adamant I'm still here
But I'm long gone

Sinking into the silence
Dragged back by the voice
It's not crazy
If you have no choice

Intoxicated on cocktails
Laced with truth
And threw up old lies
At last let loose

CHORUS

CHORUS (refrain)
So much energy to go
Inches within

The longest journey
Is the one within

VERSE
I followed no signs
I got no map
Not even if I wanted to
Could I find my way back

I had no dramatic breakthroughs
Just a march through the plains
There could have been some colours 
Or a break from the pain

CHORUS

The Science of Sound

CAPO 5th

VERSE
C                            Em
With perfect pitch
F                G                       C
And linguistic abilities

Mathematical mind
Woken latent capabilities

Cos Dylan heard
Sounds of such complexity

That his mind grew
Out of sheer necessity

BRIDGE
F                           C
Processing power
Am                G        G
Stimulation made

CHORUS
                        Am
The Power of Music
                            F
The science of sound
                      C
Firing neurons
                   G
Or earthing to ground

The power of music
The science of sound
Untying potential
That's otherwise bound

The science of sound
The science of sound

VERSE
The sun spoke the word
The earth came into existence

And we all flowed
Down the path of least resistance

BRIDGE
Our ideas have traction
If we know that truth is action

CHORUS

MIDDLE
Am                                G
Grow as you're meant to be
Know all you're meant to see
Latent destiny
