Hate
03:48

|
(I am, I am, I am….)
If I speak in hate,
Hate is what in fear that I’ve already chosen.
Hate emasculates.
Hate instills in fear what is already broken.
I cannot erase
Hate my past in fear has already spoken.
Hate does not convey.
Hate instills a love for the madness.
Money, money, money, money
Love.
Money, money, money, money
Hate.
Using like a drug to diffuse
Seeping indifference to escape.
Hate it escalates.
Hate instills a love for the madness.
Hate anticipates.
Reasons with the kill of life’s ascending chorus.
Hate does not convey.
Hate instills a love for the sadness.
Money, money, money, money
Love
Money, money, money, money
Hate.
Using like a drug to diffuse
Seeping indifference to escape.
(I am, I am, I am….)

Real Love
05:20

Hey Love,
Find me with your eyes closed.
Watch life unfold.
Feels good getting old.
Surreal blows
Take me where I need to go.
Darkness leads in sorrow
The light where only you will know.
Hey Love
You probably do, but did you know?
Tenfold,
The best we give’s in every moment.
What I need is a real love.
The kind that brings you back when you take a fall.
Jealousy and faking.
How much can we take in?
Can’t live in the past.
So, we risk it all.
Hey, Real Love,
Where my connection to all stays strong.
Hey, Real Love,
This is where my heart flows.
(Hey….)
Hey Love,
The sun has set again as told.
Colors bright and bold.
For you, my heart is open.
Read our tarot as the night falls.
Whisper secrets to silence and walls.
Know the keeper of our time stalls
Til we see already we had it all.
Hey Love,
Turn our back on what this life installs.
Pitfalls.
Afraid in what our past recalls.
What I need is a real love.
The kind that brings you back when you take a fall.
Jealousy and faking.
How much can we take in?
Can’t live in the past.
So, we risk it all.
Hey, Real Love
Where my connection to all stays strong.
Hey, Real Love
This is where my heart flows.
I whisper secrets in the dark.
Cause all those other lovers
Missed the spark.
Shed their demons and all their control.
Step out of the darkness
To make me whole.
What I need is a…
Real Love
The kind that brings you back when you take a fall.
Jealousy and faking.
How much can we take in?
Can’t live in the past.
So, we risk it all.
Hey, Real Love
Where my connection to all stays strong.
Hey, Real Love
This is where my heart flows.

Resuscitation
04:12
|
|||
|
(Petty over these things, petty over these things….come love, resuscitate me)
Bless you often.
Not in vain.
Heal in the pleasure.
Instead from the pain.
Words don’t measure
The bond we’ve made.
The web of life
Weaves mysterious ways.
Steady all the time.
Forgot dismay.
You crept though the ashes.
Brought the light to day.
Words don’t measure
The bond we’ve made.
The breath of life
Resuscitates.
You heal me.
Love redeeming.
The threat to brandish
My control.
Ceased to flourish
In your love’s gold.
Guilty pleasure,
Compromise,
All commence
In your love’s light.
Oh, you heal me.
Love redeeming.
You heal me.
Love redeeming.
Resuscitating.

Lover of A Lifetime
05:00
|
|||
|
Trouble in your lifeline.
I am an independent woman.
Heed in your stethoscope.
Cause every man I loved left a hole
In the heart of the kaleidoscope
I heal in the light of the hollow.
You were born, so I run.
Cause the very thing I want,
Is the thing that just keeps chasing as it baits me.
You
Say you want to be true.
Caught up in the things you want to do.
Spoken like the words from the mouth
Of a true teenage hue.
But the woman in me needs the truth from the man inside you,
And the lover of a lifetime.
Trouble in your lifeline.
Cause I am your sacred way,
And the games you play
Pave the way to the wrecking ball.
Wanna shelter in the sidelines.
You know,
The one’s with the deep, blue skies?
Safe from the chaos of a world that keeps changing.
You were born to run.
But the thing you want
Is the thing you just keep faking as it’s fading.
You
Say you want to be true.
Caught up in the things you want to do.
Spoken like the words from the mouth
Of a true teenage hue.
But the woman in me needs the truth from the man inside you,
And the lover of a lifetime.
Presence is a lifeline.
Caught up in the sidelines.
Please take me away.
The secret is in what we find
When we stop to truly realize
It’s already staring us in the face.
You
Say you want to be true.
Caught up in the things you want to do.
Spoken like the words from the mouth
Of a true teenage hue.
But the woman in me needs the truth from the man inside you,
And the lover of a lifetime.

Over You Anymore
03:38
|

|
I walk to the top of the ridge.
Up here, where the air is clear.
No one else to face but myself
And reflection in life’s waters.
Stare into the abyss
Out across the rock ledge.
And I wonder,
“How did I get here?”
Wrestling in the dark
With you, me myself.
But we forgot the stars.
I will not cry anymore over you.
You asked me for my trust, then broke me in two.
Love is not a game.
It’s a dance in being true.
So let me be clear
That this is through.
I speak out to my grandmothers and my ancestors.
Speak clearly to commence all sense of doubt
In life’s restless, rolling waters.
Step into life’s bliss.
Remember what daddy said,
“Don’t ever put your fate in the hands of another.”
I will not cry anymore over you.
You asked me for my trust, then broke me in two.
Love is not a game.
It’s a dance in being true.
So let me be clear
That this is through.
Through it all,
I lost my sense of wonder.
Strangers in the dark,
But lovers in the storm.
While you relish in the blunder,
I’ll restore the beauty in life’s heart.
I will not cry anymore over you.
You asked me for my trust, then broke me in two.
Love is not a game.
It’s a dance in being true.
So let me be clear
That this is through.
Two faces with one actor.
Put me first, then showed me the door.
What part of love do you deplore?
I will not cry over you anymore.
I will not cry over you anymore.
I will not cry over you anymore.

Life Feeds You
04:18

I was an affair at the age of 21
With a lover of piano from France and beyond.
At 22, I engaged a few,
But they all ended up with the same wound.
I had it with their heart.
Love in chains.
Couldn’t remind ‘em that we’re all the same.
When you’re looking for your soul,
Life sheds you life to grow on.
At 23, I discovered truth.
So, I packed my bags and undid my bruises.
At 24, I undressed my core.
Found my true wings of freedom
In my true love and more.
He had my heart,
But he decided to soar.
When you’re living from your soul,
Life sheds you life to grow on.
Take these broken wings.
I’ll move on without any thought or my thinking.
I am strong, but still designed to break.
But the light in the dark
Still fills my heart to meet your face.
And so, I grow.
At 25, I discovered fire.
So, I traveled the world.
Showed you all my desires.
At 26, fell in love with God.
When I saw her reflection
Knew that I was enough.
I missed my heart,
So I went solo.
When you’re living from your soul,
Life sheds you life to grow on.
Take these broken wings.
I’ll move on without any thought or my thinking.
I am strong, but still designed to break.
But the light in the dark
Still fills my heart to meet your face.
And so, I grow.
Next was loved by an American Jihad
Who detonated bombs on the roadside in Iraq.
Next, was loved by a lonely man
Who loved his wealth and exploited men and women.
When you sell your soul,
Life sheds you life to grow on.
Take these broken wings.
I’ll move on without any thought or my thinking.
I am strong, but still designed to break.
But the light in the dark
Still fills my heart to meet your face.
And so, I grow.
At 29, Life took my fire.
So, I let it move me to the death it required.
Now, I’m 34 and I gladly stand
On the banks of it’s river holding life hand-in-hand.
Takes a lot of heart
To commit to plan.
When you’re living from your soul…
Life sheds you life to grow on.
Life feeds you life to grow on.
Life feeds you life to grow on.

Imaginary Line
05:48
|

|
I draw and imaginary line
From my heart to my spine.
When I clear masquerade
My whole world is what I gave you.
When I’m clear in what I find.
The purest love’s what I define.
But when you take, and you take, and you take,
My whole world is led astray.
And I wish you rainbows,
And sunshine.
I wish you bluebirds
In the bluest of skies.
I wish you heaven
In everything.
Wish for your heart to laugh
And your soul to sing.
I wish you bright eyes
Freshly opening,
To the sacred moments in life’s offering.
But what I don’t wish…
Is for you to give the world the love you gave me.
It’s a short life.
And the burden of proof draws me inside.
When I stop to resuscitate
The life desired becomes my fate.
My power was stripped when you lied,
And what does it take for two souls to align?
We save, and we save, and we save, and we save.
But the more that we give,
The more that we make.
And I wish you rainbows,
And sunshine.
I wish you bluebirds
In the bluest of skies.
I wish you heaven
In everything.
Wish for your heart to laugh
And your soul to sing.
I wish you bright eyes
Freshly opening,
To the sacred moments in life’s offering.
But what I don’t wish…
Is for you to give the world the love
You gave me love
In some heart felt cry.
Wished for my wounds to weep
And my spirit die.
You take everything.
Forget what is mine.
Extend til tomorrow
To repeat the crime.
And still, I wish you rainbows,
And sunshine.
I wish you bluebirds
In the bluest of skies.
I wish you heaven
In everything.
Wish for your heart to laugh
And your soul to sing.
I wish you bright eyes
Freshly opening,
To the sacred moments in life’s offering.
But what I don’t wish…
Is for you to give the world the love you gave me.
Oh, the world the love you gave me.

This Time I'll
06:29
|
|||
|
(Uh oh….)
Inspiration.
Palpitation insane.
Visitation by one refrain.
Opt not to let myself get in the way.
(Uh oh…)
Illustration.
Consummation of this brain.
Sensation.
Detect what I can’t deflect.
This soul can’t be detained.
This time I will throw my hands up.
Cause my head says you might be worth the fall.
My heart knows what it might lose,
But all I notice is the pulse.
Lights flicker.
I pull the trigger with my softly falling bun.
I roll my neck back.
Then you remind me I’m a woman.
(Uh Oh…)
Illumination.
Pools me and sparkles from my veins.
Retraction only leaves you with refrain.
Reflect all that you regret and jump into the flames.
Oh,
This time I will throw my hands up.
Cause my head says you might be worth the fall.
My heart knows what it might lose,
But all I notice is the pulse.
Lights flicker.
I pull the trigger with my softly falling bun.
I roll my neck back.
Then you remind me I’m a woman.
With a heart full of gold,
I know, I know
When it is time to fold.
But if it’s you I’m told,
With whom to let go,
Be sure that the gold’s not sold.
This time I will throw my hands up.
Cause my head says you might be worth the fall.
My heart knows what it might lose,
But all I notice is the pulse.
Lights flicker.
I pull the trigger with my softly falling bun.
I roll my neck back.
Then you remind me I’m a woman.
(Uh oh).
