still here
same same
arrive
derive
get a
new name
pavlov
still love
still beating hearts
bring the
new game
we are
human
a beautiful breadth
of confusion
our errors
bear us new
thoughts
born from the
tears
that’s what we do
about
soul doubt
still haven’t
got that whole
thing
figured out
primal
animal
some come with clues
and then some come
devout
we are
human
a beautiful breadth
of confusion
our errors
bear us new
threads
born from the
tears
that’s what we do
we are human, we are human, we are human,
big sight
reach height
paper
just tells of
an old fight
sorry
worry
ultimately
trying to
do right
we are
human
a beautiful breadth
of confusion
our errors
bear us new
thoughts
born from the
tears
that’s what we do

Watching the wheels run dry
Holding a dirty shoe
Wearing a memory of
all that I once could do
And nobody could tell me anything near the truth
of the embracing all tidal wave of this living proof
my heart it runs around outside
I try to juts keep up with it
Every day I have to learn to let go
That’s the hardest bit
Sometimes I miss the old life
When I'm hung in the air
Negotiating a meal
Washing the underwear
Talking on plastic phones
There's never a dull second here
All it takes is a smile
To make the world disappear
And I just can't seem to take you in
with a single view
It's like drinking from angle
Whenever I look at you
My heart it runs around outside
I try to just keep up with it
Every time I have to learn to let go
That’s the hardest bit
And I just can't seem to take you in
with a single view
It's like drinking from angle
Whenever I look at you

I met you when I was twelve
Such a confident kid
your magic shows well known
You already had tricks hid
We’d knock about
And then sometimes
You’d pass me in the stairwells
You had somewhere to go
No time to say our farewells
You breezed through like a song
And your shadow lingers on forever
I recall
you walked
in a room
Like someone
Said hey sun
and the moon
get down from there, try squeeze in this square
and Olympia admires
how you ran fast with that fire
this small town kid could aspire too
One minute I was in your house
The next you were in mine.
Not physically there.
You share bright lights this time
And as I saw it's possible
I put my head down too
and plowed in fields of sound
I owe this tune to you
You breezed through like a song
And your shadow lingers on forever
I kept a picture
of you
from a paper
to remind me
That anything is possible
Maybe for you especially
Im just glad the world
got to see what
I got to see.
I recall
you walked
in a room
Like someone
Said hey sun
and the moon
get down from there, try squeeze in this square
and you had to be returning
left Olympia still burning
lived life bright and then journeying on

See the girls and boys
with both eyes
looking at their leaders
Leaders in the sky
Looking with one eye
paid to shut the other
don’t be surprised
if they see this
Make your own enemy
it’s so easy to do
you only need a few tools
to get you through
Make your own enemy
keep mud smooth in your pen
while your making your teeth whiter
build an army of them
Make your own enemy
fold resources, gather power
roll the borders to the corners
let the winds turn sour
Make your own enemy
oppress young down hard
take both mother and father
as antagonist you’ve starred
Make your own enemy
dig a hole under a home
as the sands start falling in
move and make them stand alone
Make your own enemy
add insult to taste
when the enemy comes for you
You make more enemies
You make more enemies
You make
See the girls and boys
with both eyes
looking at their leaders
Don't be surprised if they see this

every
action has
has a reaction
even if
from a distance
every
action has
has a reaction
attraction and
resistance
Burj Khalifa
from the ground
is still
you can not see it sway
stand atop
the highest point and
and feel the gravity
at play
Burj Khalifa
from the ground
is still
you can not see it sway
stand atop the highest point and
and feel the gravity
at play
all the atoms
busy buzzing
to and fro like
worker bees
shaking solid
existence
pushing
pulling
you to me
I can see a temple
I can see an action
I can see the sun beating
I can see the dust
I can see the future
I can see the thoughts meeting
I can see a table
I can see production
I can see the weight leaving
I can see a thought
I can see a speaker
I can see horizons leaning
I can see a temple
I can see an action
I can see the sun beating
I can see the dust
I can see the future
I can see the thoughts meeting

Am I getting older?
the winter
comes sooner than the sun can say
long there is for listlessly waiting
to watch the fault lines fold away
and I have a few of them
creeping
in my neighbourhood
they are but the scores of
the lessons
that I’ve understood
and the people are strangers in the night
I don’t know how to see them right
caus they look like
all my friends and my foes
and the people close to me
never change as if they weren’t invited
to the pivotal debutant ball one throws
Now I’m getting older
every
great occasion I now wear
I am a gallery
of beautiful
celebrations laid to bare
Now I’m getting older
I’m taller
than I was before
Even though I’ve measured
I’m shrinking
on my kitchen door
and the people believing in the night
that distant stars are brand new light
well they’ve slept through
all the days I’ve seen
and the people close to me are kinder
and have travelled a
fair distance
caus the've gone with me
everywhere I’ve been
thank you to
the people who are there
just like air
and all the others thank you too
I’ve still grown through you.

Not a mans world no more James brown
Caus is ladies have turned things round
I’m here and I can fight just like a girl
Talking marvellous not marvel here
The level ground is nearer
Equality will righteously unfurl
Chorus:
Dance for none
Lady you’re the shining one
Dance for none
You’re where the light is swinging from
Not an object on the shelf
No shrinking violet of the self
These spring petals are but half of what can bloom
We are the bomb that breaks glass ceilings
We’ll employ the extra feelings
To clean the mess before you here the boom
Gotta be more of equal ragers
More ladies upon the stages
Build the statues of the girls who paved the way
Oh yeah hormones and the tide
Well they are changing side by side
As Nina Simone said it’s a new dawn a new day
Chorus again.
Quarterback girl in the prime time show in the prime time show
President move give the lady a go give the lady a go
Body type body hype
Ain’t no body built the same way you know
Build Em bright build Em bright
Ain’t no body built the same way and so
Chorus again.

School scene
pre teen
eloquent
wide eyes
will learn
everyone
knows his history
white walls
sports halls
differences
sometimes picked on
he is just floating
above the sea
messages
round the room
describe the wars in the yard
the teachers just don’t talk about it.
i’m getting dizzy for what we could be, I know
but somedays I feel like the world is just turning too slow
you and me, we might just make it through if we try
Push down the walls and we’ll both fly
more lessons please in the
the original tongue
there’s at least 200 to chose from
blue tie
too tight
better be removing it
take it off
straight off
when the school bell rings
marks made
and stayed
digging a hole in the skin
nobody asking
for how long it stings
messages passed about plans
to keep bullies at bay
sometimes the siren wakes the sleepers.
I’m getting dizzy for what we could be, I know
but somedays I feel like the world is just turning too slow
You and me we just might make it through if we try
Push down the walls and we’ll fly
red dust blue crystal newcomers and custodians
Everyone’s writing on walls to devise a new plan
One day the history books will be heavy in hand
We’ll be ok I know

I was born
happiness
I confess
I’m not always so
never mind
I do find
pendulums
swing to and fro
Can’t break me
here is my thing and it’s to stay
there’s sunlight on my toes
its a beautiful day
petrichor
a full dance floor
new sheets, greens streets
a pink skyline
the same thought
at the same time
coming right
out of town
starry night
many have
tried to rule
cut me out
whenever I bloom
I’ve got time
doing fine
anyway there's
always room
Can’t break me
here is my thing and it’s to stay
there’s sunlight on my toes
its a beautiful day
dejavu
a close crew
new hands, wild bands
open smile
long laugh mile
new find
in kind
looking
a while

I’ll be your beacon
bright and true
leading you back towards you
whenever your lost when you forget your name
i’ll write it down for you
you’ll see it’s still the same
I’ll be your history
never your past
hovering closely
no shadow cast
I’ll keep my arms wide when you turn to go
I’ll be the unchanged when worlds can’t move to slow
there’s nothing I won’t do for you
if you need me I’ll be there
there’s nothing you can’t ask of me
I am here whenever
I’m the equator
i set the bar
you will jump over
traveling far
returning only to draw in a larger sphere
if i am the centre
you will go far form here
i do imagine
you’ll make it vast
pushing oncoming
to fall at your mast
you’ll be the lone one
never the lonely don’t fear
there’s nothing i won’t do for you
if you ned me I’ll be there
i’m on this ride
aim by your side
and we will go everywhere

ALL OF YOU
04:08

I am
a river
float along
above me now
trying to
cascade
into a jar
and I don’t know how
a treasury of
a golden mine
just take a dollar
at a time
I don’t want to know
all of you
you don’t
want to know all of me
I know you won’t
I’ll be the moon
and you can
be the sun
step back
and watch the
phases
as they come
you face me I face
you
and re flect
a distance palpably
so correct
what ever
happened
to the voice
inside my head
I’m wearing
it like a parker
in the sun instead
a joke falls
in an empty wood
still means that
the joke was good
I don’t want to know
all of you
you don’t
want to know all of me
I know you won’t
Lights off
the noise stops
the fear (/noise/need)
goes away
Reach in
I’m still here
what’s there
left to say
I’ll be the moon
and you can
be the sun
step back
and watch the
phases
as they come
you face me
I face you
and reflect
a distance palpably
so correct

They say there’s an afterlife
well I’m not sure if that’s true
however one things quite certain
when I look at you
I see a face filled with faces
that made up the places of the past
we come together in hope and in wanting to ensure our kind will last
it is oh so clear
in all you’ve got
that we go on forever
we do endeavour
beyond our earthly lot
I learnt
I learnt energy is never destroyed
never ending it just goes on changing
just kept turning to otters forms of energy
then to other forms of energy
