Safe Life (feat. Ursula Rucker) 03:33
lyrics
buy track
All we want is a safe life A life of love and not hate All they wanted was a safe life Through the desert And the mountains Over a line Safety and love in their sights A family side by side They hurry Treads worn by hope Found a town they liked Built a home of love Love Love Love I don't know what it's like to love with that kind of fear All they wanted was a safe life Now they're running for it All they wanted was a better life Love instead of hate Love instead of hate Love instead of hate A sudden call By a neighbor who thinks he's a fox Full of fear Misguided heart in his chest I don't know what it's like to live that life of fear But if we live with love Things will get better better better and safer safer safer Oh maybe one day we'll look back and say All they wanted was a safe life Love instead of Hate All they wanted was a better life Love instead of hate Love instead of hate Love instead of hate All they wanted was a safe life Now they're running for it All they wanted was a better life Keep it moving toward the safe life A life of love and not hate Toward the safe light Love and not Hate Love instead of hate Love instead of hate

Sidewalk Scenes 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Sidewalk scenes scream Siren songs This path is rich and clean Take pride in what you owe In foreign canyons Workers mine for dimes We scroll on with the times The sun always shines In suns, we see our time We all forget sometimes In our little lives Our wealth is not our worth You in the Tallest tower Can I borrow an hour We can change the world I sat down across a man In a subway car Pressed and sharp We went downtown (Through the underground) We went downtown (Through the underground) We went downtown (Through the underground) I got the impression He considered the passage of time A personal loss He lifted his phone Got lost on his own We all forget sometimes In our little lives Our wealth is not our worth You in the Tallest tower Can I borrow an hour We can change the world You can redeem your gold What stories will be told I hope you have love I hope you have yourself

How Long We Were Fool'd (feat. Phila. Jazz Project, Waverly Alston, Paul Butler) 05:41
lyrics

We two How long we were fool'd Now transmuted We swiftly escape As nature escapes We are nature Long have we been absent But now we return We are bedded in the ground We are rocks We are oaks We grow in the opening Side by side We are two, among the wild herds We are many We are two, among the wild herds Spontaneous as any We are two clouds Forenoon and afternoons Driving overhead We are what the atmosphere is Receptive Pervious Impervious We two, how long we were fooled We are snow Rain cold Darkness We are each product and influence Of the globe We have circled and circled Until we arrived home again We, it is who balance ourselves Orbic and stellar We are as two comets We have circled and circled Until we arrive home again We are bedded in the ground We are rocks We are oaks We are bedded in the ground We are rocks We are oaks We are bedded in the ground We are rocks We are oaks We two, how long we were fooled We have voided all but freedom And all but our own joy

Fear or Freedom (feat. Ursula Rucker, Anthony Molden) 03:52
lyrics

Fear Or freedom Fear or Freedom What is true freedom to me? No fear No fear That's what true freedom is to me Never allowing worries and stress to creep into my heart and soul And have their way with me No more inviting worry and stress and doubt To creep into my heart and soul And have their devious ways with me No fear Yeah that would feel And look and taste and sound And smell and move Like true freedom To me No fear No fear No fear No fear Just Freedom Freedom Just freedom Freedom Just freedom Just Freedom No fear Freedom Fear Or freedom Fear or Freedom What is true freedom to me? No fear No fear Just freedom Just freedom Just freedom Just

The Maze (feat. Birdie Busch, Todd Erk, Jaron Olevsky) 03:44
lyrics
buy track
I thought about you yesterday How on the pavement there you lay Pulled the car over to see if you were ok A crowd gathered around your body We all wondered how badly you broke You lifted your head and said I haven't seen you much around the maze Half of the time we're elsewhere The other half we're asleep Take a look at your life and hold onto What you feel makes it complete Thought about the wars today Over love of another one's power Over land Over Money We're over it Half of the time we have hope And the other half we're hopeless When do we question the madness And when do we take to the streets I know you're over it I'm over it too We're over it So let's see this through And I haven't seen you much around the maze

Closed Eyes (feat. Waverly Alston, Paul Butler) 04:19
lyrics
buy track
You take what you want No attention to the action Of what you want Still you gun for it Dollar signs carry your mind And it's all you know It's all you seek You could be an earthquake Or a sunrise You could be an earthquake Or a sunrise The choice is yours You fake what you want No affection the distraction is All you want It's all so clear Subtle signs The spreading green In all your peers You're all you fear You could be an earthquake Or a sunrise You could be an earthquake Or a sunrise The choice is yours The choice is yours How're you gonna live your life No regard for the other How you gonna take from the have nots And give to the rich Why not care for those who need With the help from the rich Otherwise the pain will continue to grow How can you love your life with no regard for the other Living isn't easy with closed eyes Living isn't easy with closed eyes Living so easy with closed eyes Living is so easy with closed eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes And the dead can't cash a check And the living can't hedge this bet

Love More 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I don't know how You lose yourself Day in night out Night in day out When you go off To glow Do you lose your heart Day in Night out Night in dayout What do we do When the blood runs thick Years and years and years Head hung low And your truth feels tall Heavier than I was Piece by piece Temporary life Glitter in the up above The elephant can't be unseen Running deeper than it ever was Day in night Out Night In day out So can we be With bold hearts The beating moving feeling Not a part Of this hate All a part all a part this fate All a part of this faith I know, I've seen dark days Do you still feel it? Feel it in your heart? Tearing up and tearing down I let it in I let it in to my heart Please let it into your heart I let it in to my heart Love more More love Love more More love

Stay Cool (feat. DM Hotep) 04:52
lyrics
buy track
When I wake up and feel the sun I try to remember all the love that's ever lived When I wake up and see your face Always the first to rise While my eyes dream And we try to stay cool Stay cool The world is shattered stage We know a better way When we wake up and read the news Not much has changed Rage is uncaged Apathy's strange Brainwashed like another time? Where opinions from a magic box Grow the scene And we try to stay cool Stay cool The world is a complex stage Gotta be a better way Cloudy again We're under the weather Could we be better? Loudly again His thumbs shout the internet Like some kind of fool He loudly resents Any subtle scene That doesn't go his way And we try to stay cool Stay cool The world is a shifting stage We see a better way Running faster than thought Running through our dreams Running through ordinary streets In rarefied Light You weep You're familiar In terrified Light I weep
