I'm born to light and screams cold and uncomfortable introduced to a scene shiny and clinical and when I felt your warmth wasn't the same as before the world is different now I know there's so much more to discover in these light beams new dimensions won't go unseen now it has taken effect connected through our tongues futures in which we project a world we are one reflecting bended light makes me weak at the knees your colors burn so bright they are all I want to see in my field of vision expanding I see you wherever I'm standing distance amounts to none we've got telepathy our story goes beyond our physicality when we are in each other's presence form no more - we've reached the essence Listen beyond the sound Look at the gift we've found Look now, we're finally home You are not ever alone You hear the silence calling you you hear the silence calling you you hear the silence calling you you hear the silence calling you you hear the silence calling you you hear the silence calling you you hear the silence calling you you hear the silence calling

and I'll keep moving forward - don't know what else to do for when I look behind me all that I see is you and I know there is nothing that will make this go away I will just keep ascending into a higher plane 'cause I know there's something out there for me that's real though I am fine when I am on my own take the time to find someone who feels so right - we both get our minds blown I'm always getting closer to where I want to be and it's always a struggle to manifest this destiny and we will find each other when we become awake til then lets make the best of the long time it takes 'cause I know there's something out there for me that's real though I am fine when I am on my own take the time to find someone who feels so right - we walk into the light we're shown When I am moving sideways I guess it's all the same each breath I'm getting closer to finishing this game when we complete the cycle I suppose we'll start again there's no escaping from it - this connection never ends we will be together - nothing lasts forever we'll move out of the darkness to find one another you don't need to suffer, I will bring you comfort we'll rise until we're weightless we only have to make this true now I am with you these illusions separating are not true all that we wanted to be we have always been and we won't ever leave - we only pretend

All of this prejudice is hurting my feelings people are beautiful, regardless of their image bursting with brilliance, the internet has got us conversing with billions and most of it is rotten but with a click of a button discussions we come up with could actually become something so amazing in this day and age, changing history healing folks holistically, new generation informed and invasive and you can call it what you want it we are shapeshifting spaces and as a catalyst for love I disassemble hatred with this revelation I'll keep on demonstrating my compassion for the people that are migrating the problem isn't immigrants the problem isn't differences the problem is the ignorance we all have different fingerprints some have unfair privilege we all deserve our innocence and we all know the saying that "we are all one" and now is the time to actually start living it you have conditioned racism, start admitting it do your best to get rid of it you have a lot of love to give so start giving it because we need each other right now more than ever yeah we need each other right now more than ever If we stick with each other we'll put back the pieces and all come together and turn this shit sideways and feed all the people and end all this violence and make sure the trees grow make loud all the silence I don't know what to do but I want to do good want to stand up for you when there's no one looking out for people who don't perfectly fit in this game because it wasn't meant for them and isn't it a shame that people fail to see the beauty in life connected and free is a way worth fighting for and more positivity will bring us warmth which lightens the soul while the world gets cold this darkness will pass but now is our time to raise our frequencies until we shine now rise and shine now rise and shine now rise and shine now rise and shine If our powers combine we can manifest our mind I'm a human, you're a human I'm a human, you're a human I'm a human, you're a human I'm a human, you're a human I'm moving down my own path I am taking the time to step back and look at all the things move together break the constraints of this mind fire lakes on a boat timbral hues fall forward to a blank stare reaction life will go by in a flash can't escape from the wheel turning time and each moment fills the void brings us closer to the end I am awake - hope today will get better I will make it, I won't waste it I will take it until it's under my control I'm awake everyday will get better I will make it, I won't waste it I can taste it - now is the time I'm coming home

If we keep this up my heart will erupt my self control is just not enough the late night texts when I'm comfy in my bed wishing the blankets were you instead we both know that the feelings won't go so let's stop pretending all this time that we're spending means nothing you think you got me sold the only thing I'm buying is time for trying 'cause I'm dying just to let you know I'll wait Sink into the undertow the current sweeps us away drift into each other's arms balancing on the wake I just want to hold you close and hear what you have to say you know you make me float take me in your wave I know that this will pass, got to remind myself in time I know I'll have - once all the ice caps melt I want to see you when my eyes first meet the day breathe life into my heart - shake me til I'm awake Standing on the shore waiting for the tide to rise neck deep in the sand your water soon above my eyes I just want to breathe you in and hear what you have to say seashell to my ear until I'm in your wave you'll help me disintegrate and let go of solidity every choice we make forms our reality when I'm around you you raise my frequency the only thing I want is to swim in your sea No need to run, we've just begun if all is one, we're never done No need to run, we'll reach the Sun if all is one, where have you gone?

One time I was floating no matter where I'm going enjoying every moment the present ever flowing but then one day you found me reflection brightly beaming lulled me to a sound sleep and made me favor dreaming I can't believe you found me I can't believe you found me already went through this but now you're back for me Baby sometimes I just want you to go away losing my mind all the time I just want to get away from you maybe sometimes I just want to hide and get away Baby sometimes I just want you to go away Losing my mind

spirit's asunder to places unknown get it together and find yourself home examine the details to watch it dissolve focus on the body the mystery solved open your heart and feel an outpour of love climb up from the bottom ever reaching above as long as you start you're destined to succeed merging the mind back with the body the pain that you feel will not last forever no need to hold on to it with your mind you can have everything you ever wanted just get with the flow and practice being kind there are so many steps to reach the end of the path but the journey's the goal enjoy it while it lasts move forward with patience ever taking your time you'll make some mistakes but it will be alright the pleasure you feel will not last forever so try to let go of it in your mind the body decays but you won't be rotting after you work hard to purify it seems like we have done this all before before before before when this passes we'll come back once more once more once more once more that which you will borrow you'll return return return return trading in the sorrow for what's pure what's pure what's pure what's pure the light in your mind shines clear and bright and illuminates your surroundings the sun shines on the other side at night though you don't always see it I try to stick to what's true and right the truth is always freeing shed these layers until I'm only light the essence of our being the spirit will heal like the body and mind the things that you feel will all pass in time new every moment like the fire that burns fall into the river and the eternal return

You and I every night feels so good wish I could keep on this light feels so right when I'm with you you know it's true I can't get you off my mind I think of you all the time so lets be one and free Baby, when I'm with you the moment's so special and there's nothing I can do so I just let go I don't mind if you take a while I just want to see you smile travel light years or miles to be with you, I feel it's true you and me are meant to be you are all that my mind sees so break these chains and set me free Baby, when I'm with you the moment's so special and there's nothing we can do so we just let go When we're getting down I see you fall you won't hit the ground into my arms when you're upside down I'll see you fall you won't hit the ground you'll fall right in my arms Baby, when I'm with you the moment's so special and there's nothing I can do so I just let go and hope that your love is true I wait for the echo resounding my love for you still, I will let go Baby, when I'm with you I feel life's so special and there's nothing I can do so I just let go

Your Friend 03:14
Sometimes you think you got it figured out but you really don't life hits you with nothing but truth and never seems to go away you say you will do your best but deep down you know that you won't easier to chill and rest and put that off til another day all of those things can wait Sometimes I think I want to go out but I really don't waste my time stuck in lines, get there then go the other way but then I end up spending too much time at home depressed and lost interest in all the things that keep me sane I just want to fix my brain Some days you're sinking fast and other days you float each move you make is a trap and seems to further isolate billions are just like you but you still feel alone you find it hard to trust the smiles that come your way they just want to be your friend When I encounter you I'm only kind and warm don't know what else to do and I wouldn't want to be any other way thankful you're in my life and I want you to succeed happy to be in your light, I'd be glad to see you any day I just want to be your friend

I die in every moment the light brings me back for more time I can't control the sunshine but I wish it for you 'cause I know that you can't wait until loud comes back Tremors will turn into quakes when loud comes back You won't recognize my face when loud comes back We'll be in a different place when loud comes back Once I heard the silence calling I found myself moving forward it was time to rise and shine and then your wave propelled me further don't beat yourself up, it comes and goes into eternal return ghosts walk with you until the end forever your friend You know that I can't wait until loud comes back Tremors will turn into quakes when loud comes back We'll fall back into grace when loud comes back I'll try to stay patient until loud comes back
