I am solidified
Peace is a serious matter
Part of the techno-feudalists planner

Where Eagles Live
We can’t soar above this
Or migrate away
Just leaden on the land without wings
We’re deafened and deceived
An outcome out of sight
Lost without non-human rights?
Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head
I wish I could get up there
Glide through the sky
As chaos plays out on the ground
Where money does the talking
But could it be contrite?
Can it say non-human rights?
Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head
It’s more than philosophical
An upgrade for us all
Replace positions we’ve been claiming for so long
It’s a necessary call
An unexpected rule of law
And change the patterns that would otherwise go on
Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head

New convention
Share our human rights

Get Free
It’s American, man, watch the funerals span
The bulk of the calendar year
And you can shake your head say it’s not right
Spend all your nights in electronic fights
But you know in the end, there’s no way to defend
The way we do nothing at all
When waking up is a trauma and hellos turns to drama
You disassociate from every nuclear thought
Total lack of conviction with a bullshit addiction
It’s enough to forget all we’ve got
And all we’ve got could someday be enough
A spiritual world where we lean into love
Well hey I get it man, you’re not sure of the plan
As you harangue me holding a beer
What if the best in us was on the cusp
Of true manifestation?
Could we take the leap into the deep
And find that the softest landing?
And besides
What have we got to lose?
If we could stay like this or get better,
What would you choose?
I just want my friends to get free
I just want my love to get free
I just want the pained to get free
I just want you to get free
I just wanna get free
Come on let’s all get free

The more I love
VERSE
(Singer 1)
G

Self-obsessed
Self-contained
In a selfish net

Until one fine day, I believed

VERSE
(Singer 2)
Well it's one big picture
And there's one pot of paint
And we're all these little brushes
And we're making something great
Everyones' their part
And they're part of the whole
Step back and look
At one big beautiful soul
BRIDGE + CHORUS
Cos one fine day I believed
VERSE
(Singer 1)
Em
My goal in life

Was to satisfy my needs

Only then I could be happy

For years I did everything
My little heart desired

The bigger grew the fires

Til' one fine day I believed
CHORUS (Instrumental)

Only when the hungry get fed
Will I feel full
When the sick get better
Will I be well

Once they cut up all the weapons
I will feel release

The more I get
The more I serve
The more I grow
The more I sow
The more I reap
Cos the more I love
The more I live
The more I give
The more I get
VERSE (Strummed/Spoken)
(Singer 2)
I've painted moonlit panoramas
And a heavenly sunrise
But the light I've yet to capture
Is in a child's eyes
When they see they can do something
And they start to dream
And the world's a better place
With self-esteem
EXTRA
VERSE
BRIDGE + CHORUS
I used to play for myself
Now I'm the drummer in a band
I bring everyone together
With the rhythm in my hands
And I've got a purpose
A place in the world
And it's the greatest feeling
That I ever had

Your Energy
As though in a dream
Up till early light
Sweet sunbeam
Good for me you’re good for me
We play like a team
Your energy in front of me
It’s what I need
Open your eyes
See the chemistry rise
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other
Under the stars
This is who we are
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other
Now there’s no turning back
We play for keeps
Flowers in the field
Oh, they bloom for me
They bloom for you, they do
Open your eyes
See the chemistry rise
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other
Under the stars
This is who we are
We promise to be there for each other
Be there for each other
We open up the gates
And walk a while, walk a mile
Through overgrown ferns and wistful trees
Pines in the breeze
And lush green vines
And a river that flows by
In front of me
Your energy
Borderline
Ordinary people
Are intertwined
On the borderline
If you think it’s equal
Then you’re colorblind
Can’t you see it’ll never be the same
Even if you’re from the same place
Disproportionate, longevity
Based on things you wouldn’t believe…
Who’s complicit in creating (generating) lies
A never-ending staircase
With freedom at the top in disguise
Protected by
Countries with money
And no sense of pain
The pain, of dropping everything
And moving away
At the borderline Hope is used
To build the lie//
That it's a better life
It takes a criminal mind
For death and sacrifice
To find a compromise
To find a compromise
But can’t u see it’ll never be the same
Even if you’re from the same place
People seek refuge
But don’t you go calling them refugees…
Who’s complicit in creating (generating) lies
A never-ending staircase
With freedom at the top in disguise
Protected by
Countries with money
And no sense of pain
The pain, of dropping everything

Don't Forget How Far You've Come
Say you’re down
And say your stuck
Can’t get out of bed
Laugh it off
But it’s not a joke
What’s messing with your head
You say it’s hard
To be living out
In the way you wished you could
But I know it’s not
How you think it is
When you think you’re really screwed
You’ve got things
you’re convinced you need
The things you’ve got to be
I’ll lend a hand
And I’ll lend my eyes
I wanna help you heal
Cause all we need
Is all you are
I want you to run free
You were always beautiful
And one day
I hope you’ll see
Don’t forget how far you’ve come
And I’ll - write the love upon your arms
I’ll lend my hand, I want to help you heal
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
NOTES:
You don’t need a degree to be a friend
Never forget how far you’ve come
Lyrics add to vocabulary
No fear of shame
I am enough
I will hold on to hope for you
I need your presence, not your perfection

Break The Spell
Just follow the trend
Everyone plays their part
Need a reset
Spirits in the mind are breaking through
New consciousness
Visions of something I can’t prove
We’re changing slowly
But still falling onto ourselves
Can’t stop the controlling
Could melodies break the spell?
Illegal truth
Covered up like it’s suicide
Forbidden fruit
How can you tell me what is mine?
We’re changing slowly
But still falling onto ourselves
Can’t stop the controlling
Could melodies break the spell?
We’re changing slowly
But still falling onto ourselves
Can’t stop the controlling
Could melodies break the spell?
Time to grow up
'Cause it’s no rights if they control us
My whole life all I heard was “no drugs”
Coming from the motherfuckers that don’t even know drugs
And as I
Get to get a little closer
I can identify the propaganda like “hold up”
Then we can recognize that the lies never hold up
Whether you do a line, or wine, or you roll up
High Times couldn’t cover my mind by the byline
The news never spill the truth on a timeline
The boys in blue are the brutes in my lifetime
I been on sidelines and now it’s high time
Look at the country deposit
Locking my people for profit
How can you look in the mirror?
I cannot honor "Your Honor"
Chasing our happiness and I’m knowing the courage will cause it
What do we need? To get out the closet
Wassup?
We’re changing slowly
But still falling onto ourselves
Can’t stop the controlling
Could melodies break the spell?
We’re changing slowly
But still falling onto ourselves
Can’t stop the controlling
Could melodies break the spell?
Could melodies break the spell?
Could melodies break the spell?
