Wake up in the morning and I'm feeling right
Wake up with sense everything gon' be alright
Everything that I wish to see
That I daily dream
Is magnetizing towards me
In plain sight

Focus on my craft
Pour within my glass
I be giving to myself
Self-love is where I'm at
Healing in my hands
Clouds in my head
I learn to be my own muse

Lonely lonely
I ain't no lonely lover, no-oh
Lonely lover
(I ain't no lonely lover)
I ain't no lonely lover

All the things I choose to believe
I can clearly see
Something beamin' down
Sending signs to me

Rearview leaving passed
Pour within my glass
All that I give to myself
My truth now is my path
Healing in my hands
Clouds in my head
I refuse to not be my own muse

Lonely lonely
I ain't no lonely lover, no-oh
Lonely lover
(I ain't no lonely lover)
I ain't no lonely lover
Lonely lonely
I ain't no lonely lover, no-oh
Lonely lover
(I ain't no lonely lover)
I ain't no lonely lover

FULL BLOOMS

Swaying like a wind chime
Singing like the birds’ rise 
Spending much of my time 
Dreaming bout the coastline (& you)
Thoughts so raw, tender & tragic
Know it’s madness & magic
I could free fall from
This unfamiliar height I’m passing

Stay within the ridges
All the little fixtures in my brain
Not much that is truer
Energy concurrent
This a flowing current

& if there’s dissonance
Know that it is delicate
Hold your body like the wind

Feelin’ like everything stops 
When you’re here with me (time stops)
Rolling loud, baby bussit down
Oh, you got me singing out 
Don’t wanna turn down, no

Frequency with you so fluent 
So naturally & ooh, I know you knew 
Waited for full blooms
under midniight moons

Stay within the ridges
All the little fixtures in my brain
Not much that is truer
Energy concurrent
This a flowing current

& if there’s dissonance
Know that it is delicate
Hold your body like the wind

LYRICS

Don’t believe everything you think
Sometimes the brain can play a trick on us
Work within neuroplasticity
Mmust change our habits with new rituals

X comes, Y plays
Always the same old patterns
Routine, on day to day
You ain’t even really think about it
So it just replaying on the same shit

Don’t you want better for yourself
Wouldn’t you wish better for me, yeah
Don’t you want better for yourself

Circling in cycles, deep
Whirling in rivals of your peace of mind
Shackle up your ankles, you can’t flea
The power of your choices you won’t recognize

You come, you go with no control
Over your thoughts, your words, actions & so
You just say you just don’t have the capacity
I know you know that’s just some bullshit actually

Don’t you want better for yourself
Wouldn’t you wish better for me, yeah
Don’t you want better for yourself
I just wish for you to be free

Don’t you want better for yourself
Don’t you want better for yourself
Better for yourself, better for yourself
Better for yourself, baby
Better for yourself, better for yourself
Better for yourself
(Better, better, better, yeah)
Better for yourself, better for yourself
Better for yourself, baby

LYRICS

It’s truth & it’s mine
Been on my own in my mind
In this lane & path of my life to date
I’ve known that I’ve had to carve it
All my way

Somethin’ bout how you do it
Draws me closer
Makin’ me feel so wavy
Like the ocean
Beyond my understanding 
But I coast wit it
(& now)

Somethin bout how you move wit it
I can’t handle
When I give you my pieces
I get dismantled
Don’t wanna run away
But I got plans to make
Chances I can’t afford to not take
Within fate, I must create

I do not mean to be selfish, nah
Simply protecting myself now, yah
& my energy
Just want you to see that

Ambition all in my tonic
I be getting close to you
You know I want it
But lil mama got visions ‘bout balance
Sometimes that will mean my absence
It’s valid
Want you swimmin’ my chalice
Drink me by the gallon
Make me cry out ballads
But these plans gotta happen
& I get distracted too often

Somethin’ bout how you do it
Draws me closer
Makin’ me feel so wavy
Like the ocean
Beyond my understanding 
But I coast wit it
(& now)

Somethin bout how you move wit it
I can’t handle
When I give you my pieces
I get dismantled
Don’t wanna run away
But I got plans to make
Chances I can’t afford to not take
(On my own, in my mind)
Within fate, I must create
Don’t wanna run away
(& my energy), (must create)

LYRICS:

Your heart, your mind
Create a prism
I may like to live in
How much sincerity lies in the words you speak?
Not like I inherently don’t believe
Just want clarity
Or are there towers of ivory?

I feel those walls with open palms
Hear the echoes of hymnal psalms 
Maybe I’m a fool
But it does me no good to assume

Is all that lives here just forbidden fruit
Are we wise or wicked to pursue?
Infusing blood with blues
Have you yet reached your breakthroughs?
Winding down deep to the root
Where it has yet been convoluted
(convolu-, convoluted...
convolu-, convoluted)

Maybe I'm Silly for This

LYRICS
_________________________________
Don’t wanna spend my time waiting
For something that could just slip through
Especially when actions show
It don’t really mean shit to you

I could be driven out my mind now
Just wanna prioritize my time now, yeah

Could give so much of myself to you
And I would, but it may not serve my highest good
And I’m caught up in my mind’s eye
And I’m caught up on the other side

(Caught up, caught up, caught up, yeah
Caught up, caught up, caught up, yeah
Caught up, caught up, caught up, yeah)

{{LYRICS}}

Okay, you say you get it
Well, dawg, just gotta say
That I am fuckin' spent and
Just cannot take no more
Cannot pretend
You just stay lyin' crazy
It offends to the core
(Worse than before)

Now I can't even begin
At this point, to let you in
'Cause I gotta Slide by you and your lies

I can't wait
For you to get on your way
You run it shady
Place blame, wish that I save face for you
But you should know me better than that
Better than that
Better than that
You should know me better than that

Can't stay losing sleep over something
Not worth my energy
You deny like hell
Clearly you're not well
You crossed lines I'd never expect
And beyond, I can't forget
All trust is erased
Now just get out my face

How could any sane person keep investing
You need reprimanded
And you get no more chances

I know that shit's been crazy
You got so much going on lately
But quite frankly
You just take all that's mine
And every time you try to phase me
Take from me then manipulate me
'Bout to throw shade, shove fists
You gon' catch this fade
Not tryna play 'bout this bullshit

Or you'll be pushing up daisies
Oh, now, now, don't make me show my crazy
Reserved for a special time
You deserve that special side
Made yourself captain of that ride
'Cause you crossed every single line
God damn

How could any sane person keep investing
You need reprimanded
You get no more chances

I can't wait
For you to get on your way
You runnin' shady
Place blame, wish that I save face for you
But you should know me better than that
Better than that
Better than that
You should know me better than that

Know Me Better

Setting fire to the daylight
(Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn) 
Soaked in kerosene until night time
(Burb, burn, burn) 

Anyone would agree with these effects
Seem matter of fact
Seize up to the elements here that at play
Talkin’ fire, it rises heat higher
I’m left with prescribed these nonfictions
Tirin’ afflictions
The lengths without wishin’
Felt like a world of a distance
Make way for change
I pray for change
I pray for better days
Don’t know when it comes
I just know that it will, yeah

Setting fire to the daylight
(Burn, burn, burn)
Soaked in kerosene until night time 
(Burn, burn, burn)

Suspended in air, I force my feet to the ground
Bringing back bellies full of fire
& lift me up (higher)

Anyone would agree that it’s a mess
No doubt about that
Seize up to the elements here
That at play
I’m a fighter
I work to re-wire
I’m not left prescribed these nonfictions
Tirin’ afflictions
I went without wishin’
Felt like a world of a distance
Make way for change
I pray for change
I pray for better days
I just know it’ll come
I’ll make sure that it will, yeah, yeah

SHIT TALK


Growing like vines
Dark energy has spread to me
I wish I could untie
Wind yourself up through my spine
Thick, strong, and sturdy
Like spiraled rope of twine
And what assigned this business?
I never chose to witness
Project all toxicity
You insist that you finish
Just wanna smile and enjoy this life
You keep showin’ that 
You’re not close to aligned

Think of your precious energy
As currency and you will surely see
You’re tossing out all your money
All your coins in a deep sea
Where you don’t even wanna be
And it’s clear to me
You never try to not 
Identify with negativity, yeah

You talkin’ so muc shit
Don’t come around me
Emittin’ on a low level
Don’t come around me
You talkin’ so much shit
Don’t come around me, yeah
Emittin’ on a low level
Don’t come around me

Sneaks in
Slips through
Seeps down
Swell up then 
Melt to the ground
Sneaks in
Slips through
Seeps down
Swell up then 
Melt to the ground
(To the ground, to the ground, yeah)

Think of your precious energy

HIBISCUS KISSES


hibiscus kisses on my mind
traces of your lips so damn divine
glistening eyes I’ve been missing
visions of lilac wine, I’m dizzy
ooh, you know it sweeps me up
when sippin’ on, gets me every time

ooh, that shade on you looks just right
ooh, you always got me runnin’ miles
always fienin’ to find a fix for this
you know it drives me wild

I’m hanging out on the edge
wanting to dive right in
the beautiful bay of golden silk
pushing waves in your ocean
swimming far out passed the horizon’s line
adoring sensations from you
from these heights
Under these skies

Hibiscus kisses on my brain, yeah
he feeling when you hold my hips
I melt away
I’m reminiscing old days
Not that we’re different
Sweet visions of lilac wine, I’m dizzy
Recalling days of sugar sweetness
Floral fields, you behind my wheel
Laughing dumb at nothing
Drunk off memories
I think I’ve fallen in love
I know I’ve fallen in love

I’m hanging out on the edge
wanting to dive right in
the beautiful bay of golden silk
pushing waves in your ocean
swimming far out passed the horizon’s line
adoring sensations from you
from these heights
Under these skies

Hibiscus Kisses

As I’m looking inward
I feel I’m heading backwards now
Feeling lost, tired & lonesome
But I could there for you
I am right here for you
I see you

If I could go back now
What I would tell myself
Is that I’d be proud 
Of who I am today

& when you sense you’re on your own
I’ll be by your side all along 
I’ll hold your hand
I’ll understand

Know you pray to God the worst is over
So much more to you than you think that you offer
I would not change a thing, no
In you, in me, in life, in us
We learn to trust

You are strong

& I never embraced love
Like I deserved, no
Always worth more
Than I was giving myself credit for

& if I could now speak to whom I was before
I’d say rest your weary head
I’d say rest your weary head

It’s been lonely
(It’s been lonely, ohh)
It’s been lonely
(It’s been lonely, ohh)
It’s been lonely
It’s been lonely

Younger Self, Inner Child (demo)

Canary and the coal mine
Fists of cotton at a brawl fight
Doe eyes and a hunter's knife
Spirit and the ego's pride

Building graveyards as we speak
Atoms frying as we breathe
Many broken souls with hollow touch
Who only ever run from love
This is something I can't be

Honeycomb and honeysuckle
Hawthorne and honeydew
Cushion my light in Divine
Nothing but love to my rules
Honeycomb and honeysuckle
Hawthorne and honeydew
Cushion my light in Divine
Nothing but love through my roots

Holy water and hellfire
Oppression and desire
Passion and pessimism
Freedom and pigmented prisons
In how we really livin'

Building graveyards as we speak
Atoms frying as we breathe

Honeycomb and honeysuckle
Hawthorne and honeydew
Cushion my light in Divine
Nothing but love to my rules
Honeycomb and honeysuckle
Hawthorne and honeydew
Cushion my light in Divine
Nothing but love through my roots

Nothin' but love
Nothin' but love

Honeycomb, Honeysuckle
