The more I love

VERSE

(Singer 1)

G

I was "get me mine"

C

I was "each for his own"

I was out for myself

D

I was all alone


I was self-absorbed

Self-obsessed

Self-contained

In a selfish net


BRIDGE

C D

Until one fine day, I believed


CHORUS

G

That the more I love

C

The more I live

G

The more I give

D

The more I grow


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

Am

Was to satisfy my needs

Em

Only then I could be happy

D

Or so I believed


For years I did everything

My little heart desired

But the more I fed the flames

The bigger grew the fires


BRIDGE

Til' one fine day I believed


CHORUS (Instrumental)


VERSE (Strummed)

(Singer 3)

Only when the hungry get fed

Will I feel full

When the sick get better 

Will I be well


(Singer 4)

My country's at war

so I can't be at peace

Once they cut up all the weapons

I will feel release


BRIDGE

One fine day I believe

MIDDLE

(Singer 3)

Em

Service is love

Am

Put in action

Em

Enough is enough

F D

Paint your way to paradise


CHORUS

Cos the more I love

The more I live

The more I give

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

Walking all through the night
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
In front of me 

Borderline

On the 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
And moving away

Don't Forget How Far You've Come

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
You’re all we need, I want you to run free
I want you to run


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

They’re coming again
They’re coming for my own heart
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?

Nothing’s By Design

We didn’t ask for this
Hot heads cold hands and feet
Something switched on the light
We woke up and stirred to life
Why

I didn’t plan for this
The death of the life we shared
Two candles lit in a single flame
My light dimmed when yours pulled away
Why

I wonder how I’ll get up
I wonder how I’ll breathe
I wonder what you’re doing
I wonder if you grieve

Oh, You never used to need much
And now you’ve got no need for me

But nothing’s by design
And at least we get to try

My father bringing up
His children in the light
We’d throw the ball around
Before church single’s night

He hid his son from us
And gave us all his shame
And when we’d ask too much
He’d toss the ball away

I wonder how I’ll get up
I wonder how I’ll breathe
I wonder what you’re doing
I wonder if you grieve

Oh, you never used to need much
And now you’ve got no need for me

But nothing’s by design
And I will let it go in time

Drug use

VERSE
Em            G
The narrative
D                                  A
We've heard our whole lives

About how to live
We've been told a lie

The true divider
Public enemy number one

Em       G          D
Don't question it....

RAP (Same chords as verse)

VERSE
Society's ills
Are caused by the drugs

Not that the jobs, have gone to China
Keep your eye on.... the drugs

Anecdotal evidence
The science

Look it up...

RAP

CHORUS/OUTRO
G                 D                 C
Now there's no need to search
                                Em          D
For the causes of crime and poverty

People's own behaviour is at fault
It's not government policy

Not the end, or effect, the beginning
Of all the crime and poverty

No need to change or invest
Or change our government policy

Spend on the cure, not the cause

Transhuman Dreams

Young bodies burn in the heat of the sun
A river wraps into a snake
The scales fall away  
And a generation
Turns with the tides with the wind


With the wind, with the wind

In my transhuman dreams
Forever is tempting
Human meet machine
Forever is tempting  

A natural death and a life well lived
From baby steps, your spreading wings  
Why  do we fear the final destination  
The journey age disease, my legacy  

Legacy, what legacy

In my transhuman dreams
Forever is tempting  
Human meet machine
Forever is tempting

The future looms and blooms
Mechanical bodies
And digital heavens
Uploading our memories  
And natural essence  
Original sin left
Us humans in need of
Some human improvement
Some human improvement
Some human improvement

In my transhuman dreams
Forever is tempting  
Human meet machine
Forever is tempting

So just sit here son in the countryside
Don't try to change who you are or try to hide
And be proud of that shirt

The Illusion of Self

VERSE
                           G
The delusion of self
                           C
The illusion of wealth
                              Em
The unholy collusion, that's using the fusion
                              D
Disconnecting the rich and the poor

VERSE
The exclusion of health
The confusion of stealth
The confusion of humans, with twisted delusion, 
Until everyone's out of their minds

VERSE
The pollution of worlds

Where were the drugs?

CHORUS - 80 BPM 4/4
                           F#m
Where were the drugs in our hour of need?
                           C#m
Where were the drugs against this deadly disease?
                      Bm
That it's wholly untreatable's not entirely believable
                     C#m
But for what other reason can you rush through vaccines?
 
VERSE (Chords as Chorus)
Are you really telling me?
When every other ad I see
Pumped in by TV
Is for a magic cure
I don't believe you anymore

Cos all doctors were pharmacists
All-day long prescription lists
Now suddenly the only thing in their bag is
Paracetamol

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS
Where were the drugs in our hour of need?
Where were the drugs are we being deceived?
Can we wake up from denial, we're in one big clinical trial
And Paracetamol is not an anti-viral 

INSTRUMENTAL (One Verse )  

MIDDLE (Pink Floyd part - 180 BPM 3/4)
F#m
Why can't drugs be authorized?
C#m
Until you been hospitalized
Bm
The system has been paralyzed
F#m
Right before our very eyes
C#m
Everyone's been hypnotized
Bm
With the thought of being immunized
F#m (stop)
The unjabbed are despised

G#m
Now there are drugs you cannot mention
C#m
It's become a sin 
G#m
Even to talk about ivermectin
C#m
Or Hydroxyquinoline

Bm                C#m
There must not be 
Bm         C#m      F#m
Vaccine hesitancy

VERSE  - Back to   80 BPM 4/4
And all the SARS that went before
We treated them we won the war
But suddenly the only thing we have is
Paracetamol

CHORUS
Where were the drugs in our hour of need?
Where were the drugs are we being deceived?
Can we wake up from denial, we're in one big clinical trial
And Paracetamol is not an anti-viral 

Where were the drugs in our hour of need?
Where were the drugs against this deadly disease?
That it's wholly untreatable's not entirely believable 
But for what other reason can you rush through vaccines?

Where’s the bass? Doing the science
Cut and add, you’ve got the sequence
Making it happen
Do you want to jam, with my genes?

Give me some of your genetic engineering
Your kitchen garage time machine
Take me to see a dragon
Everybody has a device to push the button

Bottom up, top down
Lifloning logistics
Baby genes in editing
Change our genes, make a choice
Self-injected, what’s the real
Believe in who, what’s the wrong in the world

Science isn’t done a lab coat
Seeing through your twisted CRISPR
Science isn’t done a lab coat

Empty hallways what’s going on
Artificial balance hey
Hey love I could lose
Body autonomy

Me and you just we two point of view
What’s the truth?

Make me faith
Make me real

I was not born this way
Didn’t like my DNA
You said my genes were lame
Were so uncool and my parents were to blame

If only, science made me cooler
Maybe some talent and a photogenic bone structure
Dear science, save me from this gene pool
It’s mediocre why does nature have to be so cruel?

What do you think about mosquitos?
What about repair kit?
What about the DNA?
What about the therapy?
What is natural?
Have the repair kit rather than the scalpel?
What about fixing the murals?
What about repair kit subsitutes for jail cells?

I’m starving mosquito flying around
Can’t locate dinner

My target of desired of plasma can’t be found
