Indigo Island 03:43

Indigo Island (Lyrics) There's a place where I go when I'm blue It's the place where I hide when I'm missing you When I feel my heart can take no more I close my eyes and I stand on the shore of Indigo Island, Indigo Island It's a place no other soul has been A secret place that I keep safe within Where my worries and fears are erased And the light from the man in the moon shines on my face Indigo Island, Indigo Island I'm home alone by the sea Sifting sand through my toes by the palm trees Sip a sweet blend of musical wine Til I'm drunk in the paradise of my mind Indigo Island, Indigo Island I drew them a map even though My island's a place they could never go But I'm hoping that maybe through song They will find an Indigo Island of their own An island of their own Indigo Island, Indigo Island Oh yeah, I wanna go to Indigo Island Yeah, yeah I wanna go to Indigo Island

The Deep End 03:48
lyrics

The Deep End (Lyrics) Ever since you came in feels like my heart just caved in I’m willing to jump into the deep end I want you for my lover and my best friend Dark skin With a subtle something kind of mystery Speaking sweet words so softly I could give you the best of me I can’t explain it, no So I won’t even try I just know something in you Has really caught my eye Baby, I don’t think you know what you do to me Oh baby, don’t pull away Do you really wanna do me that way If you got games, I don’t wanna play But if you got love, I’m hear to stay Please know, nothing but the best, that’s what you gotta bring Cause the best is what I’m offering I thought you said you wanted the real thing I can’t explain it, no So I won’t even try I just know something in you Has really caught my eye Baby, I don’t think you know what you do to me What you, what you do to me Got me thinking bout you constantly Even in the morning when I'm in my bed You're the first thought that pops in my head Baby, I don’t think you know what you do to me I don't think you know

Something I Can Do (featuring Mane Called Hawk) 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Something I Can Do Living in a land where we're taught showing emotion is weak And deviation from the norm gets you harsh critique Your heart grows heavy from the havoc it wreaks Cause we're afraid to speak even when the pain is at its peak But what would happen if we chose to express it Lay on somebody's sofa and just confess it Let down our guard, admit our hearts are scarred Instead of walking round trying to act so hard, my God I think about it sometimes when you come around Acting like it's all good, even though you feeling down Baggage heavy, but you're smiling as you pull it Heartache cutting through you like a slow bullet I ain't here to judge, won't condemn or condone Just wanna let you know that you ain't gotta do it alone I don't know what all you've been through But I'm here for you There's gotta be something that I can do Ain't there something, something, something that I can do, do for you Ain't there something, something, something that I can do, do for you The mind can only handle so much, treat it well It could be your private paradise or a crowded prison cell In this lonely dream, we oscillate between extremes Living above our emotional means And the things we use to cope can only numb it Don't know the tools to use and so instead we run from it Move on up the mountain just to find there's no summit So your options are to climb, stand still, or plummet But I'm done running from the hurt Yeah I'm gone overcome it I've got faith in my freedom Wise words, I heed them My good friends, I need them Young minds, I feed them what my own soul is hungering for May God speed them Self-love is my only daily grind Gotta practice peace of mind to thrive in this lifetime Trade the lies I've internalized for the truth Ask the woman in the mirror ain't there something that I can do Ain't there something Ain't there something, something, something that I can do, do for you Ain't there something, something, something that I can do, do for you [Original poem by Mane Called Hawk] If I should die tonight I pray my soul will take Take flight, fly

I Knew 03:42

I Knew (Lyrics) In the back of my mind, I guess I knew Soon you'd need your solitude Though I crave your love like I crave food I guess you just ain't in the mood You fly away to be free There's nothing else that you'd rather be Nothing left for your eyes to see And no one to save you, not even me I see your face, I hear your laughter I love you much but I guess I knew Something was missing I scratch your back I hug your waist I try to lie but I guess I knew Something was missing And now I'm missing you Now I'm missing you Now I'm missing you Now I'm missing you Tears of liquor falling from your cloudy eyes Death comes and shatters these family ties Used to be the sunshine of my life Husband and wife I see your face, I hear your laughter I love you much but I guess I knew Something was missing And now I'm missing you Til death do us part Til death do us part Til death do us part Til death do us part

Sleep the Night Away 03:31
lyrics

Sleep the Night Away (Lyrics) It's been one of those days I don't wanna go anywhere I don't wanna do anything All I wanna do is sleep Let's say I'm done for the day No reason to stay awake So I'm gonna sleep the night away I'm gonna sleep the night away Let's say I'm done for the day No reason to stay awake So I'm gonna sleep the night away I know it's only eight o'clock at night There's still a little bit of daylight But I'm tired of carrying this weight around Tired of memories tying me down Ready to escape reality Flee my body and be free Fly to the highest mountain peak And allow my soul to speak Let's say I'm done for the day No reason to stay awake So I'm gonna sleep the night away I'm gonna sleep the night away Let's say I'm done for the day No reason to stay awake So I'm gonna sleep the night away Close my eyes and crave no more Watch my mental metaphors Visions dancing through my head Keep me company in bed I'll wake up and try again Try to find my smile again Cry my tears and sing my songs Yes, the show must go on Let's say I'm done for the day No reason to stay awake So I'm gonna sleep the night away I'm gonna sleep the night away Let's say I'm done for the day No reason to stay awake So I'm gonna sleep the night away Each day I bend but never break Amazed by every breath I take So I will sleep the night away But tomorrow's another day It's another day, it's another day It's another day Another chance at life Life!

Robot Life 02:54
lyrics

Robot Life (Lyrics) People rushing down the street avoiding eyes and flipping hair No words for the ones they meet No time to love, no time to care Obsessed with a machine Always focused on a screen It's the robot life Make money for money's sake We're always working, on the grind Purchasing to pacify our jaded hearts and crowded minds Strung out like a guitar We've forgotten who we are It's the robot life Locked inside a fancy cage The insanity of the age The robot life, the robot life The robot life, life, life, life, life Reprogrammed to hate and fear We're too afraid to take a chance Soaking wet in our regrets We blame it all on circumstance Trapped in our comfort zone Feeling lost and all alone It's the robot life Deprogram in 3, 2, 1 I just need to touch someone and feel earth crumble in my hand Feel the music, face the fear, escape to a wondaland Have a day to freestyle Watch the world spin for a while No more robot life I'm ready to exhale I'm ready to break the spell Live from my own heart Make my life a work of art Let's awaken from this trance Baby we were made to dance, yeah! [Dance Break] I have a dream of ascending to love never-ending Above the rush of robots obsessed with pretending to be something they're not To have more than you've got I have to leave that life alone That fire's much too hot I crave the cool of the shade More than this charade Want you to feel my heart and soul each time the record's played Cause the stakes are getting higher The consequences are dire Why live your life in chains When you could live to love and inspire

Hallelujah (lyrics) What seems right could be wrong It's short but, it seems long You rise then you fall just to get up and move on You win some, you lose some Eternal conundrum Best know who you are better know where you come from Exciting, inviting, prosaic, witholding Intuitively play these cards you are holding It's joy and confusion Kisses and contusions And shadows, and magic, and love (Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme,) Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu That's life Come on sing it, yeah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu That's life Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Go higher, higher, higher

That Groove 03:55
lyrics

That Groove (Lyrics) As I think on this life we're living And all the times that we wanted to give in All the moments we couldn't explain The losses, the gains, the passion, the pain Get's harder to carry the load Feels like we're about to implode Turn your head to the sky and shout What's it about? It's about that groove, groove Oh, when there's no where left to run We get down to chords and drums See there's a rhythm to it all y'all So keep your head up and stand tall y'all Cause it's about that love, love Oh, when there's no where left to run We get down to chords and drums Dancing free out in the sun We join hands and groove as one We join hands and groove as one I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm Coming, coming, coming out of my shell Time is steadily ticking away don't get caught by the bell Ain't no refund on the way We were sold a fairy tale of American dreams, hollywood, heaven and hell I ain't come to save the world I just wanna tip the scales If you won't participate then at least wish me well Stress accumulates, reframe the story that I tell Deep breaths, meditate, no more waiting to exhale Break the spell Cause it's about more than getting yours and being on your grind It's about the legacy that we leave behind And doing the best you can while you are here So til the day that you disappear Stay in that groove, groove Oh, when there's no where left to run We get down to chords and drums See there's a rhythm to it all y'all So keep your head up and stand tall y'all Cause it's about that love, love Oh, when there's no where left to run We get down to chords and drums Dancing free out in the sun We join hands and groove as one Groove as one, groove as one groove as one, as one, when we rise When we rise, when we fall When we try to make sense of it all We've been trying to figure it out What's it all about What's it all about What's it all about Tell me what's it about That groove

We've Been Waiting (Lyrics) It keeps replaying in my head Those fateful words that my daddy said He said fly high child, sing your song We're bout to get up cause we've been down too long We've been running (we've been waiting) and racing (we've been waiting) Paying our dues (we've been waiting) and dream chasing (we've been waiting) So we ain't gotta worry (we've been waiting) cause when it's time (we've been waiting) Our stars will align (we've been waiting) and we're gonna shine We've been running (we've been waiting) and racing (we've been waiting) Paying our dues (we've been waiting) and dream chasing (we've been waiting) So we ain't gotta worry (we've been waiting) cause when it's time (we've been waiting) Our stars will align (we've been waiting) and we're gonna shine [Major] Yeah, just call it perfect timing Think back, yeah mind rewinding Following the rainbow to the gold In the pot, nothing I'm finding Felt like my hope declining Fuck that bruh, keep on climbing No sense you crying and whining, convert that hurt to work Keep on grinding Can you dig it, like coal mining I'm a living, breathing diamond Express my innermost thoughts and it just so happens that it start rhyming My light so bright, it's blinding Remember what I said like Simon I don't need co-signing Cause I be sholl shining We've been running (we've been waiting) and racing (we've been waiting) Paying our dues (we've been waiting) and dream chasing (we've been waiting) So we ain't gotta worry (we've been waiting) cause when it's time (we've been waiting) Our stars will align (we've been waiting) and we're gonna shine We've been running (we've been waiting) and racing (we've been waiting) Paying our dues (we've been waiting) and dream chasing (we've been waiting) So we ain't gotta worry (we've been waiting) cause when it's time (we've been waiting) Our stars will align (we've been waiting) and we're gonna shine We've been waiting a mighty long time ain't we We've been waiting a mighty long time ain't we We've been waiting so long We've been waiting a mighty long time ain't we We've been waiting a mighty long time ain't we We've been waiting so long Waiting so long, waiting so long Waiting so long So long, waiting so long Waiting so long Waiting so long Ain't we, ain't we Yeah
