All my favorite people
Came out to the dance
You know I like my second chances
We'll dig right through the floor
get up, and yell for more
DJ is checkin' me for answers
(x2)

What's your style?
Do you like to swing low or keep it tight
do you wanna keep on runnin' to the bar all night
Stay underground, or go next level and stay dry
like a penthouse cocktail, jazz, and keep it light
Do you like it when the bass rumbles right through your bones
or the ivories gettin' tickled make your intellect moan
guitar riffs, 'nother spliff, gonna catch FOMO
Betta bend your knees boy, we ain't in church no mo'
I'll show you what I like, take a seat, don't interrupt
if you make me look better you can show me all your stuff
too many boys be steppin' on my toes, I've had enough
Ready for a man to share the stage and share the love
gonna burn real bright together or alone
haters wanna dim the shine, they can't find the right tone
off key is not the way to make the party jam
You wanna show us how to do it?
I know that you can

(Chorus)

Dig Right Through

They came in yelling and fighting
camp beds were cold
I went to the bonfire
turned to ashes what was gold

You're asking about the seventh?
Heaven's far away
everytime I go there
have to pass through hell's gate

I want to reflect your light
want to reflect your light
won't you let me inside? 
I don't want to do this alone
The pain I can't hide
on my heart and my mind
won't you fight for this?
I know you're mine
I knew it from the start

You were singing so sweetly
I found my reprieve
I'm the kind that stays
but I have to leave
can't come any closer
I'll burn up my sleeves

I want to reflect your light
want to reflect your light
won't you stand by my side?
I don't want to do this alone
This pain I can't hide
journey towards the sublime
I can't fight for this
I know you're mine
I knew it from the start
I knew it from the start

Reflect

What's your name love?
Where you came from?
If you're going, can I come?

Don't need drinkin'
whatcha thinkin?
How do you have fun?

Do you get high?
Can we talk awhile?
Don't be shy

It's the way you dress
the way you smile
carry yourself
I get high lookin' at ya
drownin' my senses
dizzy and light
floating and fine
it feels right
fallin' for ya 
come on closer
I won't bite
do you feel the same?
I just want to know your name

Uber, taxi
front or backseat
Heading west or east?

Getting loud here
It's a crowd, dear
Next flight to Paris
can we leave?

Can we get high?
Can we talk all night?
Don't be shy

(Chorus)

I've been alone for some time
We can take it slow
I can't help wanting more
I'm losing focus

(Chorus)

I Get High

It's a quarter till four
and I missed that call
now the rumblin' grumblin' inside
like how could you forget us all?

Just a piece of dry toast
and coffee was all I had
now my head feels light
and my stomach bad

The anticipation
it's about to be alright
'cuz I'm choppin' and spreading
topping and pressing
gonna hold you up and eat you and cuddle you tight

('Cuz your my)
Special sandwich
special sandwich
gonna wrap my lips around ya
and never let you go
(x2)

Did I tell you how much I love the way you feel?

(Interlude):
Oh.. girl..
You puttin' soy sauce on those mushrooms?
Where'd you get that bread?
I mean how did you find that bread??
I think you better put that honey down
Is that for me?
I mean, you're making one for me..
You're gonna make me one, right??

Special Sandwich

I don't know why
you caught my eye
but I haven't forgot
the day you walked into my life
how I need you (you)
in everything I do
(needing you needing you)

I saw you at 
the five and dime
I wanted to ask
before I ran right out of time
How are you? (you)
What's on your mind?
Do you miss me too?
(missin' you missin' you)

If there is one thing I'd like to say
before this whole life fades away
it was better knowing you
for just a time or two
then to be without a clue
(knowing you, knowing you)

The train came through
it rolled on by
you weren't on the platform
so I sat back down and cried
how I want you (you)
a hand to hold onto
It's been so hard to move on

Wanna make you proud
so I fight it down
open my mouth
and let my dreams fly right on out
I know the truth
What I feel inside is right
it's better loving you
(loving you, loving you)

If there is one thing I'd like to say
before this whole life fades to grey
it was better knowing you
for just a time or two
then to be without a clue
better loving you
in just a glance or two
maybe in the next life
that's up to you
better knowing you
in just a glance or two
I'm so glad I knew you

Without A Clue

Floating in the wind
it can be fun to spin and spin
but where do we begin
not sure I'm grounded

When I see your face
I know exactly where my place is
I run 'til we've embraced
so soft and soundless

I'm here for you
You're here for me
What's better than one
is 1 2 3
Can't wait to see
what we're gonna be
I'm so happy
you're here with me

Everything I have
I want to give it all to you
When I'm feeling blue
you come around dear

Crackin' jokes and laughing
there's no one 
to keep us down dear
love grows
like the clouds surround us here

(Chorus)
I love you 
and you love me
what's better than one
is 1 2 3
Can't wait to see
what we're gonna be 
I'm so happy
you love me

(Chorus x2)

A cover of Electric Guest's "This Head I Hold"

This Head I Hold (Electric Guest Cover) -Live

The street wasn't clean or pretty
with the closest bank in town
I'd learn to save my deposits
for somewhere
besides Reistertown

Swaying back and forth
slurring words she nearly passed out
a customer in line said
"I don't want none of that"
the teller called her sweetie
helped her out

The fires will rise
voices will cry
some will open their eyes
before it's done
Fires will rise
Voices will cry
Some will open their eyes
before it's done

Breathing freely off the coast
the dolphins of France
have nothing to do
with Dolphin St in Baltimore
where an asphyxiating man needed medics
(while under) arrest behind a police van door
We didn't know Freddie Carlos Gray
but his name and the city we lived in
made history this week
when the State Attorney declared homicide
charging police with murder, assault
in the second degree
all these heavy things can put me in a panic
made together we'll find the lost city of Atlantis
I sing and pray
like a mockingbird and mantis
transform from beat down
to charming enchantress
energy is electric 
and your touch is tantric
home early with flowers
because you're so romantic
I really do believe that kisses heal the pain
I got a few bruises on my heart and brain
anger becomes movement
improvement on love
if there's passion in your soul
we're gonna turn it WAY UP

And the Fires will rise
Voices will cry
Some will open their eyes
before it's done

And the Fires will rise
Voices will cry 
Some will open their eyes
before it's done

And the Fires will rise
Voices will cry
some will close their eyes
before it's done

I have friends out there making lunches
their are heroes in the streets sweeping brooms
I have friends with black and brown faces
and I don't want to visit their tombs
and I don't want to visit their tombs

Fires

I want to see the Northern lights out in the dark
Beauty to match the frozen state of my broken heart
I want to dive through hotel lobbies under the sea
I want to sail as the captain 8 knots to the beach

I look in your eyes see no recognition of me
You're stuck on never but you liked adventuring
Grab your GPS coordinates, maps, keys, a silver bulletproof canteen
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? I don't know, but you can find me

And so it begins, do I pretend we're friends?
No reason
no reason 
no reason

He's got the whole world in his hands until he lets go
I'd like to stop strangling the lines that connect to my phone
I had to leave because your words hit harder than stone
Do I try to find a house while I rebuild this broken home? 
no reason
no reason 
no reason

And so it ends, I stopped pretending we're friends
no reason
no reason
no reason

No Reason

I've seen Our Lady out in big sky country
She hangs next to Kali and the flags of pride
and I've come back from court room trenches
where everything inside of me died

I've wandered through state parks, tents and airstreams
to clear the haze of my spiritual side
I might not know if god's a he or she
but the rules of men are hard to live by

Men create wars, tech weapons, network spies
possession, and puppets on strings
Well I think every she is a spark in the eye of the divine
won't be reduced by such profane things
All my sisters and brothers
were made from my mother
her love is nurturing and good
Did we forget the feminine is powerful and sacred
should be heard, and clearly understood?

Tell me what is woman, tell me what is woman-made?
Tell me what is woman, tell me what is woman-made?
With life and love she's paid
Remind me what has woman made?

I have a daughter who is beautiful and sweet
I think about the strength that it will take
to explain the pursuit of happiness, life and liberty
won't prevent her from feeling someone else's pain

Tell me what is woman, what is woman-made?
Tell me what is woman, what is woman-made?
With life and love she's paid
Remind me we're all woman made

Woman made
Woman saved
Woman made

Woman Made

Prayer Hands Blessed

(verse 1)
Strangers in the park
Grocery clerks checking all those shopping carts
One smile caused a spark
and now it's love everywhere, love everywhere

Children dancing around and around
Music playing and all those pretty sounds
Cause a feeling so enchanting
it's love everywhere, love everywhere

(pre-chorus)
Wake up in heaven again
No one's lost, we have everything

(chorus)
Float up to where you are
Glow among the stars
Charge my fiber optic heart
Words become so useless and strange
I'll carry messages through my veins

(verse 2)
Board the metro, at half past 2:00
i think about flying out to come see you
a reunion can't come too soon
I'm feeling love everywhere, love everywhere

Maps and charts discover parts of universal minds
Perfect angles form when the spirit and love collide
Would you please be so kind
To show me love everytime, love everytime

(pre-chorus)

(chorus)

(bridge)
If only I could hold on to some lighter fuel at night
Burn the whole haystack so the needle stays in sight
But black holes chase me down a track I run around
and I'm flying, flying with all my might

(chorus)

Fiber Optic Heart

(Verse 1)
Never played basketball
Never shot too many hoops
Never had the jerseys
or Air Jordan's shoes
The rules of the game
always seemed so strange
and now you want me to jump?

Never been sailing
Don't know about tying knots
the storm plays hide and seek
Am I ready or not?
'Cuz here it comes
Ship's sinking
water up my nose 
and I'll get caught 
in the undertow
unless you want me to jump

(Verse 2)
This little one right here
Shows me he knows no fear
Want to be like him again one day
Pick the biggest stick
Throw the farthest rock
The whole world is child's play

(Bridge)
They say it takes a leap of faith
They say it takes a leap of faith

(Verse 3)
I'll climb new heights to fly instead of fall
My shortcomings won't be embarrassing at all
Keep trying the hardest, keep my expectations small
Keep loving who I can, 'cuz I'm having a ball
See you on the other side of the chain link fence
We're free to run around, free to make amends
Pick a number, how you feel? Between 1 and 10
All around me paradise, so it must be 11.

Jump

(Verse 1)
A mighty burnt out star
hearing out more wishes tonight
You wandered off so far away 
In search of your own light
You gave others so much time

(Verse 2)
Been runnin' round in circles
Trying to straighten all your lines
When all along the shape I'm in
Depends upon my mind
I can only heal my mind

(Pre-Chorus)
I've waited years to be where I am now
My fortune it won't fade
Through pain and tears won't forget that somehow
Heaven brought me here

(Chorus)
Make me yours 
and I'll make more time
To stay the course
Reflecting your light

(Verse 3)
We're countin' on the future
We're countin' all our dimes
We're countin' down the days 'til rent
Makin' up for lost time

(Pre-Chorus)
I've waited years to be where I am now
My fortune it won't fade
Through pain and tears won't forget that somehow
Heaven brought me here

(Chorus)
Make me yours 
and I'll make more time
To stay the course
Reflecting your light

(Bridge)
It's simple really
Can't undo what's been done
When fighting off the darkness baby
Hang your hopes on the brightest sun

(Chorus)

Make Me Yours

(Verse)
J'ai marche sur la plage
j'ai vu la maree te tirer
tu m'as dit de rester
tu reviendras un autre jour

(Refrain)
Pourquoi? Je veux nager a toi
je vais risquer les courants
Pourquoi? Je prefere noyer
que te manquer comme ca

(Verse 2)
Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion
de te dire combien je t'aime
ne te perd pas
dans le vide sous-marin

(Bridge)
il faut mille grains de sable 
pour construire la vie
que nous avions prevue
desires-tu compter avec moi?
Es-tu bien? S'il te plait ne t'inquiete pas

(Refrain) x2

Pourquoi? peut-etre que la nouvelle lune nous reunira
Jusque-la, j'attendrai pour tu ma cherie
La lune. Bisous.

La Nouvelle Lune

Come together, fall apart
every life has a start 
after death
have you met your maker yet?
the magician and the priestess
whisper worlds we can believe in
when the ego stops deceiving
in attachment state
I can hurt, I can forgive
find the clean slate
embrace the courage to live
I can co-create with fate
and what about you? 
have you found your power too?
Dark night of the soul
through the pain we are renewed (it goes)

Concrete dreams
Bury me
in my sleep
Concrete dreams
Concrete dreams
I'm awaking, I'm awaking
I've awakened now

Wrestled with the devil himself
yeah, I made my sword sharp
and I barely made it out
want proof? I got the scars
reality faded 
when I pulled the nightmare card
visions from the shadow world
piercing through my heart
transformation in perspective:
I got what I need
I'm not running dry
I'm running to victory
My spirit's on fire
I got a purpose to serve
a testimony to survival
that deserves to be heard (c'mon)

(Hook)

I've awakened now
Can you hear them calling?

(Hook)

Concrete Dreams

Will I ever learn?
can't build castles in the sand
can't rain on the stars
nothing grows where they are

Seems each path I take
leads me to a colder place
I act like I want it that way
too scared of a warm embrace

(Chorus)
Guiding light
Will you be by my side
Will you be my sight
guiding light, guiding light

Dropped my torch in the rain
nothing put out the flame
Thought it was all a mistake
why did you stay? why did you stay?

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Looking for diamonds
looking for diamonds in the dark
looking for diamonds
reflect my guiding light

(Chorus)

Guiding Light

Words break loose
piercing like icicles
falling from the roof
stand our ground
through a meteor shower
you used to say 
what's next? You gonna ask for flowers?
No. I deserve more
No. I deserve more

Hard to swim
Been months on the hook
when will this contract ever end?
I don't make deals
with a clearance aisle bin
No. I deserve more
No. I deserve more

Can I get a better connection?
Can I get some better protection?
I'd do anything for love (real love)

Time to fill up my tank
and when I do
I'll spend $25
to drive off to something new
Might be running away from me
but I'm not running to you
No. I deserve more
No. I deserve more

Can I get a better connection?
Can I get some better protection?
I'd do anything for love (real love)
and nothing but
enough's enough

You Gonna Ask For Flowers?

Always reminds me of God and Jesus
she's always telling me to open up my heart
always finding written dreams and secrets
adding color, turns them into works of art
she laughs the way the ocean does
the potion of bubbles floating up
from miles down deep
it's the medicine I need
her Grandma's name she keeps
face of an angel when she sleeps
she is joy incarnate
the blessing God reaps
and I love her..

Beautiful, I just want you to know
you're my favorite girl
beautiful, and I just want you to know
you're my favorite girl
