"Shine On" is an abstract Hip-Hop EP written and arranged by Booli. It is a cerebral, philosophical and spiritual journey of surrender and mending of the wounds of abuse, addiction and loneliness that have had their grip on a tortured mind for too long. A tale not fit for the faint of heart nor the closed of mind. The universe rewards the fool for their bravery and willingness to take the leap of faith and step out of darkness and into the light.

Lyrics

I guess it’s time to dig up all these wretched thoughts again
From my head, nothing gets behind my broken trust defense
Ripping rotten petals- off the battered spinal mesh
Pain swells and wallows deep within this achy hollow chest
Dissecting treasured memories my mind is at an apogee ¬
And yet I tread the earth til I collapse into depravity
Desperate and alone my severed head won’t orbit sanity
Bruises soothe skin my lonely heart is slowly blackening
Take in broken halos trans mutate 'em into ample horns
Head is hanging low like the rotten fruit I’m aiming for
Life is labor and every day is just a hazy blur
Brutalized for sport I hate the way these days occur
Lonely still amongst the herd I’m lost within a sea of hurt
Drowning feels like home in everyone I see the worst
I quench infinite thirst exposing poison in these birds of prey
Pecking orders over murders flock my sanguine Pollock spray

I’m the kid who watched the final straw snap the camel’s back
Writing on the walls in blood, behind my eyelids trapped
In a lonely stupor as the after-image aftershocks
Demons feast upon my light, this is not an act of God
Panoramic post traumatic, life is just a losing fight
Noose is tight, carrot bait, inside mind and out of sight
Poisoning my brain with painful memories that I hate
Jam in the projector still replaying all these violent tapes
Feel the pain maybe I could feel it in a different way
Drop the blade, etch in black, pen is stronger anyways
Dreaming of a better place but still I wake up to the same
Euthanasia on my mind 'cause I don’t want to feel this way
Fake smiles choking back the pain I can’t take anymore
Kind souls become sick like secrets never told
The stiffest upper lip still quivers at the sight of lavender
Bruises on my neck and the scene that came right after

Lavender Bruises

Lyrics by Booli

What if I could let go of the chains that hold me down?
Could I fly away or would I be too scared to leave the ground
Convinced of broken wings, strangled by insecurities
Voice inside my chest has become so obscure to me
Fear became my master when it robbed me of purity
Slowly I am sure to see relief before it murders me
Far beyond the fear of failure, too terrified to try
Banging on the cage locked behind dead eyes
Running from the emptiness residing in me
Ceaseless hunger gnawing at the pit of my being
Psilocybin mirror locked revealing the blackhole
Microcosmic entropy I feel like a tadpole 
Swimming endless circles with no progress of sea legs
Pain is panacea I’m alive when I’m bleeding
I’m told to look within for the answers I’m seeking
The universe is big and I’m a gust of wind fleeting

Never stopped running still this black cloud follows me
Like a stray dog always searching for a hand that feeds
A little bit of relief from the demons lurking underneath
The mask I masquerade in every day is getting ennui 
Walking like a zombie- catatonic revenant 
Sifting through the sediment in search of something delicate
To break, a victim to the cycle that I always replicate
Hurt the ones I love and then I push them all away
Drowning in the shame of things I did to maintain
Try to shift the blame but it ends up in the same place
Weighing on my chest awful pain has got me outta breathe 
Solemn and bereft from these awful secrets kept
Not surprised by the darkness inside me
Bad apples tend to fall close to their home tree
Of life, rotten roots drying up beneath the blight
Hopeful when I let go, one day I will see the light

Entropy

Lyrics by Booli
Prod. K-Oddic

Catch me when I fall upon this canopy of thorns 
Underneath an ashen sky discarded like a wilted rose 
Born in fertile soil left to atrophy with fragile bones 
All these people die inside me stuck inside my head alone 
Actively the apathy begins to win me over slow 
Shoulders draped in icicles, hell is getting colder still 
World has gotten grey again, sun is colored cast iron 
Comedy and tragedy, reality is satire 
Museum of wax splitting atoms under burning suns 
Melting pot, plastic seas, remnants of the plasticine 
Ruined happy moments when imagining catastrophes
Life’s a string of tragedies I struggle making memories 
Questioning the borderline of my personality 
Molded by the things I’ve seen before I could even speak 
Born to die, baby take a guess on where disorder lies 
Distorted eyes poisoned by a world that sold them hurtful lies

Everything is fading slow within this museum
Everything is fading slow within this museum
Everything is fading slow within this museum
Everything is fading slow

Try to stay intact within this museum of wax
The gaslight’s kind of lit, no one ever strikes the match
The limbic system crashed, weight is heavy on my back
After atlas dropped the planet, humpty dumpty split in half
It didn’t take a village cause they always dip and dash
Swept under the rug like embroidered epitaphs
Trampled on the eggshells now we don’t know how to act  
Misery is what happens when two devils make a pact
Getting kind of hard to keep an open heart in hell
When life feels like a prison it’s the mind that is the cell
Blind will lead the blind, the ones who watch will pay the bail
Still I feel a pit inside that nobody else can fill
Built this house of cards with the hand that I was dealt
The deck is full of tower moments coming at me still
Feeling like a fool watching worlds before me fading slow
Can’t adjust the past just the karma of broken home

Shine On
by booli 

Searching for the summer sun lost in winter wonderlust
Star combustion, pressing steps into lotus mud
Walking so that I could run, Prometheus has passed the torch
Picked apart by birds of prey with screams that all but heaven heard
Trails of fireflies light the night sky freed us from the dusk
Attained a husk accustomed to the scent and rustic taste of blood
Prisoner of molecules I'd animate til nodding off
Stained with sin and broken trust guess my light was not enough
Thirteenth demon sold his savior for a silver coin
Path of most resistance ain't so pointless when you know the point
Schadenfreude anointed since the day my silence broke the noise 
Palm shadows hoisted poison fruit until I made the choice
Rotten to the core this bitter slumber felt like suicide 
Ugliest of shadows often casted by the brightest lights
Emanating deep inside, heart of coal bloomed a diamond
Dewy-eyed, the Morning Star will rise and shine on 


Shined so bright I could smite the wicked
Prodigal atoms in a sea of mystics
Cold war brain storms tides have shifted
Stepped into the light and I found what's missin
I beheld the Christ within dissolving my leviathans
Wept oceans they washed away my blurry vision
No comparison it's just another thief of joy
No confusion or those dreams of being someone's toy
There is so much life to live and so much more of me to give
First time I held my kid I knew my heart would beat again
The Coda to my Song of Storms my sour notes are sweetenin'
Deepest Self revitalized it's time to let depression lift
Don't know what this life will bring but I know what I have to give
Aiming for the stars one shot I will never miss
Emptying my heart into these songs like I'm an excorcist
Shine on shine on, brighter than I've ever been
