Full stream of WORTH's debut record, 'Six Foot Soul'

Six Foot Soul

(LYRICS)
This is just a story of the kind of glory
That can belong to a free man
Of the road less travelled 
Where every day’s a battle
And any way takes all that he can
No one knows his secrets
Not one would believe it
If they could see or just understand
A man without a purpose except for what his worth is
And music is a voice to his hands
He travels the land, a traveling man
With dirt on his hands, this traveling man

Six Foot Soul Pt. I

(LYRICS)
I came out here to get paid
And I want minimum wage
The street corner is my stage
Concrete blocks are the page
And I’m the pen
I salt and pepper my days
Hoping that I don’t waste time
Working hard to replace
A 9 to 5 with a 5 to 9
I gotta come out into the light
It’s such a beautiful thing
When you give all that you bring up for
A life of love and you sing
The beauty of your own human being
You got to come out into the light
I tuck the future away
Inside a pocket of faith
Take my wisdom as pay
I know that I’ll find a way
To survive
If I can come out into the light…

Come Out Into The Light

(LYRICS)
So you’re stuck with me
Forever
Period
There’s no way around it
‘Cause I don’t care how much it hurts
Or how much pain I go through
I’m still gonna survive this
‘Cause I ain’t gonna leave this planet without my friend
And I’m not gonna leave him without me
So there it is
I love you

Mirage

(LYRICS)
As long as you have created a situation in your life
That causes sadness
You deserve it
Damn it, shit
You deserve it like hell
And you know it
Sadness
Healthy
Sadness is healthy?
Absolutely
Sorrow and regret within your heart
It’s making me blue, really blue
Let it be until it comes upon you
And then face the mustard
Yes, yes, yes, shhh…

What drives you to defy all odds
What makes you jump off of that cliff
Into that infinite abyss
That scares the life out of you

What the hell’s going on?
Worth is dead
You’re growing up

Let me tell you something you already know
The world today just doesn’t understand
The modern man taking a stand
For something he can no longer comprehend
So I invite you all to think about your lives
Unobstructed by the lies
And filter the poison they are spooning
While the masses contribute by mindlessly consuming
Take self eulogy, it’s proof you see
Proof of simple living
Simplicity in a complex serendipity
Informing us to conform us
But we’re all born to be broken
Journeys and pathways of self worth unspoken
So take solitude and sit with it
For there is no one else who can accomplish this
This is it: you and you alone
Just a few parts that make up the whole
Self worth is measured by your six foot soul

It survives you…

When I’ve given up all that doesn’t matter
All the rest is gone
What remains
What still has value

Continually giving yourself to the world and those around you
So much so that when you are spent 
The universe will fill you up again

In the solitary caverns 
Of a clear and focused mind
Lies the power of transformation

I don’t think it’s a secret at all
Just enjoy it
Be here now
Don’t lose faith
You’re destiny is greater than you think it is
At the end there’s nothing but you

Space Bar

E’ un brano che racconta le radici del cantautore, il suo paese e i suoi abitanti.
Un pezzo di storia ormai andato perso, o se è sopravvissuto qualcosa, è davvero poco rispetto alla purezza di quel tempo. E’ il caso di questa casa abbandonata. Passandoci davanti si possono ancora rievocare molti ricordi, particolari caratteristici di una vita semplice nella natura, piena di amore per tutto ciò che essa ha da offrire.

La casa del tempo

Michicant

Album

She say

The Aching Taste of Blue

Natural Disaster (Acoustic)

Fear becomes a hindrance of success if you cannot do what is right because of fear. 

TAKOT

Tu Yaad Aa Gaya

GIVE A NAME TO ALL OF YOUR FEARS
YOU CAN FINALLY REST YOUR TEARS
YOU'VE BEEN SOAKED FOR SO MANY YEARS
LIGHTEN UP YOUR PATH OUTTA HERE

BURY ALL YOUR TRAUMAS 
AND LET EM' BE

GIVE A NAME TO ALL OF YOUR DREAMS
FOLLOWING YOUR GUTS IS NOT A SIN
YOU'RE SINGING SO MELANCHOLIC 
BUT YOU SOUND LIKE PURE POETRY

BURY ALL YOUR TRAUMAS
AND LET EM' BE

BURY IT ALL (2021)  𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸

(LYRICS)
(you’ll never know the answer until you know the question)

I’m sitting watching reasons 
Why we’re living 
Why the birds and bees 
And why there’s no beginning to it all 
When man came from a crawl 
Today I relive everything we’re given 
From other halves to strangers 
Caught up in the rhythm of it all 
But aren’t we all so small 
After all… 
Why are we caught up in mysteries 
Why are we caught up in love 
Why are we living in history 
Why are we looking above 
It’s something within us 
So why do we get caught up at all 
I wish that I could see this every moment 
That this love affair would be there 
In the morning with the dawn 
To stop me when I yawn 
So as I feel this vision slowly slipping 
I try to write it down 
From the beginning of it all 
But I cannot recall, after all… 
Why are we caught up in mysteries 
Why are we caught up in love 
Why are we living in history 
Why are we looking above 
It’s something within us 
So why do we get caught up at all 
Sad it’s the love 
Why are we caught up in mysteries 
Why are we caught up in love 
Why are we living in history 
Why are we looking above 
It’s something within us 
So why do we get caught up at all 

(everybody wants to know about happiness, but they’ve got it right in the middle of their heart and they don’t know it)

Caught Up

(LYRICS)
Don’t you sweat what happens down the line
The past is gone away
It’s lessons are in you babe
And here right now you know
What is upon you
Don’t you sweat what happens down the line
Don’t think of all the money you’ll make
Or the hearts you’ll have to break
It’s your choice to mistake 
What are you proud of
Don’t you sweat what happens down the line
Please listen
Where have you been 
I know you want to start 
From the beginning again
It’s in every moment
Please listen… The future is a whim
Your decisions are making it
And here right now it is
The only answer
What are you waiting for?
Please listen…

What about the future? 
To hell with it, it’s nothing to worry about.
