is your heart at battle living in misty shadows does she miss me at all? i see your spirit, broken i know you need atonement but give it one more moment wait - you are not alone if i could give you back the light if i could hold you 'til it's right wait - you are not alone if i could keep you from the edge if i could hold you back again but the dusk has spoken all your demons close in when your tears are oceans it's the coldest darkness knotted in night-time gardens how could she be so heartless? wait - you are not alone if i could give you back the light if i could hold you 'til it's right wait - you are not alone if i could keep you from the edge if i could hold you back again deep black cosmos, don't give me grounds to doubt you! scarlet starscape, how could i live without you?! and though i know you're not found don't want to see you knocked down wait - you are not alone if i could give you back the light if i could hold you 'til it's right wait - you are not alone if i could keep you from the edge if i could hold you back again

there’s no power in your blackout lifestyle but we stack mounds of false positives for white miles and the war on drugs calls for crackdowns while we ship toxins to africa in the background and they want a band-aid for aids in a place where ibrahim digs seven graves a day sweep it under the rug, honey ’cause if you can’t diagnose it, you can’t collect your drug money the human body is a daft weapon probably dreaming of new days since godly church staff repping a peaceful prince rocking the crusades with laughs, getting off tacked a foot in the grave to all their half-stepping some ask what god could do some read teleprompts and the good news but no news reports why so modest, b? your toy soldiers are mostly across the sea having a good time, having an oddyssey trying to mesh foreigners with your foreign policy you seem to have the answers who would jesus rape, torture and kill in the name of democracy? call it cross promotion the truth march on, can’t stop the motion i used to take lots of potion, an ocean ’til the god dropped a coast in no shortcut cropped to kill sin just a lifetime bought, caught rebuilding still spin shelters, foster children but the truth march on, won’t stop for millions and i mean both people and cash we fought fire with fire until we had to fight with ash well can i just meditate to elevate this dead weight and celebrate life, whatever fate disseminate truth the light's gonna shine on your better days not just with the end of the tunnel in scope inseminate struggle with hope double the focus, say it like you mean it, venerate make a clean hit like i'm pummeling soap the light generates, emanates, radiates, beams making great scenes on these 88 keys please, could i have the faith to believe there's more to this life than making money out of trees i wanna make peace out of war, friends out of enemies love out of every moment god's given me all your burdens and fears, you gotta set 'em free all your big ideas, you gotta set 'em free all your birds in cages, gotta set 'em free all your serfs and slaves, you gotta set 'em free when we do this right, it looks heavenly

baby blues like the sky i'm deep in your eyes and waiting, stargazing so come and get lost don't ever stop i'm raptured in your galaxy baby when i'm lying here with you and you touch me like you do you give me motivation a little motivation we're just two lonely stars you always know how i want it you always know how i want it you give me motivation a little motivation to venus or mars wherever the dark has brought us we're stardust supernova's begun i'll make you glow like the sun and we spiral through the void baby when i'm lying here with you and you touch me like you do you give me motivation a little motivation we're just two lonely stars you always know how i want it you always know how i want it you give me motivation a little motivation baby when i'm lying here with you and you touch me like you do you give me motivation a little motivation we're just two lonely stars tangled in this black tar we're just two lonely stars wandering in the dark

cool off, i couldn't be so quick to think it's all alright cool off, you've never been this deep into the dark of night, no from the way that i finish i know i'm the nicest my futile devices i've always been like this, i'm so indecisive just everyday tripping on vices and i'm swaying like a reed in the wind got a fire inside this spire but i'm keeping it in need to begin saying no to these people i'm saying yes to stress through my bones trying to impress you but i guess my cloth is just a different cut freaks and losers, big it up feel like we give too much and somehow we never can live enough and the young keep throwing all that youth away so what do you wanna do today grass is always greener that's what i felt when i was smoking grass vinyl on that turntable rotated to the very last skipping class for that robo crash picture frames and broken glass and razor blades and coke and hash i played the game and no one asked i didn't get out 'til i got on my knees demons calling me too soft but now i'm chopping that new cloth if you can't escape, maybe you need to turn that cool off cool off, i couldn't be so quick to think it's all alright cool off, you've never been this deep into the dark of night, no

For Love 05:01

about

A driving, shadowy record that takes the beats and synthesizers and catchiness of modern urban pop and turns them on their head to explore the darkest themes in life - distrust, abuse, addiction, loneliness, idolatry, cheating lovers, unjust wars.
