My album is a story of triumph, of letting go of all the uncertainty in my head and learning to walk the path of my own heart. “Sincerely” is about realizing how much better this world would be if we all loved ourselves, if we weren’t afraid of being vulnerable and honest. It doesn’t matter who’s president or what technology we invent or what extremists we destroy, the only thing I know is this:

There will never be peace if we do not all love ourselves.

I kept asking myself, why them and not me?

Crossfire

He'd trade his guns for love,
But he’s caught in the crossfire,
And he keeps wakin up,
But its not to the sound of birds,
The tyranny, the violent streets,
Deprived of all that we’re blessed with,
And we can’t get enough

Heaven if you sent us down,
So we could build a playground,
For the sinners, to play as saints,
You’d be so proud of what we made
I hope you got some beds around,
Cuz you’re the only refuge now,
For every mother, every child, every brother,
That’s caught in the Crossfire

I’d trade my luck to know,
Why he's caught in the crossfire,
And I’m here wakin' up,
To the sun and the sound of birds,
Society’s anxiety,
Deprives of all that we’re blessed with,
We just cant get enough

Heaven if you sent us down,
So we could build a playground,
For the sinners, to play as saints,
You’d be so proud of what we made
I hope you got some beds around,
Cuz you’re the only refuge now,
For every mother, every child, every brother,
Who’s caught in the Crossfire

Can I trust what I’m given?
When faith still needs a gun,
Whose ammunition,
Justifies the wrong?
And I can’t see, from the backseat,
So I’m asking from above,
Can I trust what I’m given,
Even when it cuts?

So Heaven if you sent us down,
So we could build a playground,
For the sinners, to play as saints,
You’d be so proud of what we made
I hope you got some beds around,
Cuz you’re the only refuge now,
For every mother, every child, every brother

Who’s caught in the crossfire,
Who’s caught in the crossfire,
Who’s caught in the crossfire,
Who’s caught on the cross...

You saw me when I walked in your world
Swift moves
Miss you
You saw me when I walked with your girl
This dude

Has driven me far away from love
And I can't deal with the pain of trust
No I can't deal with the pain I'm done
See your face my tears they run
Me replaced my dear you’re dumb

Stay my love
You always take your rays and run from us
Leave me here to lay
Our sun
Is suddenly less radiant
I’m dumb, I’m dumb, I’m dumb

You shook me when I stepped on your shoes
Excuse
How rude
You watched me as I waltzed with your wounds
Like this fool

Has driven me far away from love
And I can't deal with the pain of trust
No I can't deal with the pain I'm done
See your face my tears they run
Me replaced my dear you’re dumb

Stay my love
You always take your rays and run from us
Leave me here to lay
Our sun
Is suddenly less radiant
I’m dumb, I’m dumb, I’m dumb

You’re so dumb
You’re so dumb
You’re so dumb
You’re so dumb

The Fool (As told by Simonez Dega)

Fantasy

i like the way that words come out your mouth
it takes me many miles to make them out
and strawberry sits superbly with you
go on and lick me love im jelly in my shoes

and I would tread upon flowerbeds to
stare and stop
a hominid twas blossoming from
soot and sod

prune

eating all my food

well youre like the bum
who begged and pegged me up all wrong
ive got no two cents, no sense at all

i like the way you decorate your neck
it takes me just a sec to break a sweat
and russet rims portray that of a goon
go on and test me love like sipping from a spoon

and I would tread upon flowerbeds to
stare and stop
a hominid twas blossoming from
soot and sod

prune

eating all my food

well youre like the bum
who begged and pegged me up all wrong
ive got no two cents, no sense at all

ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha
ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha
ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha
ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha

Prune, You Talk Funny

Mysterious Skin (feat. DEDE )

Sit-up in bed it's early 
No it's not early 
It's the middle of day 
Look at the clock in a hurry 
For a moment you're worried 
That you might be late 

So you lay there for a minute or two 
You fall into a snooze 
Before too long you're dreaming 
Behind closed-eyes there's a feeling 
Of never needing 
To be anywhere else 

Deep in sleep in the afternoon 
Hours go by 
Can't escape from this cocoon 
To save my life 

Wee-ooh... 

Bathtub, sink, towel, toilet 
The mirror holds you captive 
What's wrong with your head? 
Water's turned-on, it's pouring 
No you're snoring 
Snoring in your bed 

(chorus) 

Ohh..

Saw a note in orbit they sent you down
From the sky I'm falling out
Further from your heartbeats drum

I'm like a bullet on a mission to cut the air
Burning up in your atmosphere
Upon this tree, I land with leaves but no lead

And then I go on my way
to search one more day
A mirage of your face
Keeps my hope in place 'till I'm gone

Longing for days of old when we'd roam
Saturn's rings on a private drone
No matter what
At least know I tried for us

And then I go on my way
to search one more day
A mirage of your face
Keeps my hope in place 'till I'm gone

From the sky I'm falling out
Burning up in your atmosphere
At least know I tried for us

Land Astronaut

Wide Eyes

There was this girl I was seeing who lived in the same neighbourhood. Things looked like they were over but I kept thinking that maybe there was still hope. It was an emotional rollercoaster. I tried distancing myself but it wasn’t easy. And it didn't help that suddenIy I found myself on every street we had walked along while we were together. 

Living only ten minutes away didn’t help either and our rehearsal space was only two minutes away.  She volunteered at a used-clothing store which was between my house and our rehearsal space. Every time I would go rehearse my chest would tighten, my temples would throb and I would get butterflies in my stomach. I’d pick-up our drummer to help transport her gear and the quickest route was up this girl’s street. We’d pass right in-front of her door. I felt like I was going to die! 

One of my first memories at the start of our relationship was walking to her apartment in the evening and knocking on her window. As she slid the window open, I reached-out and we held each others arms. I begged to enter but she declined since her dad was sleeping in the next room. I’ll never forget that night, the window and the smile that spread ear to ear as I walked home thinking, “It’s only be a matter of time before I’ll be on the other side of that window.”

This song is about longing, trying to let let go and the memory of what once was.
