TAO Pt 2

Phonograph Phoenix

Mission

VERSE 1
Running water
Standing wave
I’m looking at what must be your pet hurricane
Got you so spun
No break from the rain
Her roof held off your floor by just a trembling windowpane
Maybe that ringing in your ears
Is just her bell around your neck
And with a smoke ring on her finger
She goes and signals for the check
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

VERSE 2
Her double take
And single give
She’s out of pocket
Running numbers—not my business
But I can see how broke you’re going
Every time I visit
This life of yours passing just-just as fast as she can live it
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

BRIDGE
You can’t save your youth
For later, so
Take all you that you can carry and
Time is on nobody’s side

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

OUTRO CHORUS
It’s not too late
Til you say it is
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this
I’ll be your yes among no’s
It’s not too late,
Til you say it is
I’ll be your yes among no’s
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this

Dessa - "LYTP"

💫 what a year it has been ….
and it doesn’t seem like it’s letting up quite yet

yes, we are creating a New Earth
yes, these shifts are POWERFUL and not necessarily easy to integrate

i do believe, that even if it doesn’t feel like it, this is all still for our highest good

WE ARE BREAKING FREE of the old ways of the old world
WE ARE COLLECTIVELY CREATING a brand new world

and if you’re still here, you’re pretty damn courageous
give yourself some credit 💗

may this song assist in your transition into this new world 🙏

thank you for sharing this experience 💫

I need a lil’ mo’ blessing in my life,
Clocking in, I’ve been putting in them late night,
Struggling, I’ve been conscience of my dreams in sight,
Hope that I take off, I have a safe flight. x2

I need a lil’ mo’ blessings to reunite,
Blessed with knowledge, wisdom shining bright,
I need a lil’ mo’ blessings to reignite,
Those blessings gon' take me to great heights.

Yo, I need that grind, late nights on repeat,
Chasing dreams hard, can’t accept defeat,
Blessings in the shadows, yeah, they creeping,
Power up my mind, ain't no time for weeping.

Anticipating fortune, I'm aiming for the sky,
Blood diamonds glistening, ain't no lie,
Success I desire, yeah, I’m on that track,
Triple doubles on my sheet, no looking back.

I need a lil’ mo’ blessing in my life,
Clocking in, I’ve been putting in them late night,

I need a lil’ mo’ blessings to reunite,
Blessed with knowledge, wisdom shining bright,
I need a lil’ mo’ blessings to reignite,
Those blessings gon' take me to great heights.

Pride and gratitude, fuel for my action,
In this sci-fi world, I'm ready for traction,
Socials lit, but they can be distractions,
Blessings from the messiah, time for a reaction.

Riches in disguise, I’m flipping every dime,
Success driven, bitch, I’m here to climb,
Hypnotized masses, they don’t see the grind,
But I’m getting blessed with extra Christ, let’s unwind.

I need a lil’ mo’ blessing in my life,

Hope that I take off, I have a safe flight.

I need a lil’ mo’ blessings to reunite,
Blessed with knowledge, wisdom, power in the night,
I need a lil’ mo’ blessings to reignite,
Those blessings gon' take me to great heights.
