I can feel it sway, in my DNA too
So my eyes are blue
And the ocean too
And in the deep end
Creatures creep and flew
Somewhere deep inside of you
In your DNA too
Let me lie and become like sand
So that I too can slip through hands
Let me leak me into the sea
So I can be completely empty
Beneath the river, another river flows
And somehow from its woes
Wisdom seems to grow
Underneath our clothes
I can feel it in my bones
Let the wild one bloom from my womb
So that I too can howl at the moon
Let her lead, beat and bleed in me
So I can be, completely empty
Yeah yeah
Will the willows recognise me
When I weep do they weep with me
Why do I question when I know my mind should be
Blissfully, completely empty
I guess we do what we need
To put flesh to our bones
But our words are seeds
And you will reap what you sow
Nananaaaa
Our souls are soil
Nananaaaa
And so you toil
But give space for grace to grow
A place for her face to show
For divinity to breathe you'll need to be
Completely empty

Vacancy

You tell that me I should speak
And then you take my voice away
It's all of those unspoken little things
Well, that led my mind astray
Repeat, repeat
You speak and speak
But, hey, listen close
The words are vacancy
There is just vacancy
There is just vacancy
I don't want to change you
But, God! I need to breathe too, oh
The narcissist's bucket-list you live by
Means compromise from just one side
Around and around
And about, I shout
For on your Ferris wheel
Only you may feel
So there is just vacancy
There is just vacancy
There is just vacancy
There is nothing for me
By now I know the drill
Just another role to fill
Questioning what I did wrong
Means it's time to move along
Musky old scent of before
Smoky mirrors, close the door
Taking the blame, well, doesn't fix
I think it's time I burn this bridge
That's just how you left me
With apathetic, empty-jar transparency
So there is just

Last night I saw a man on a wire
I saw this man reflecting back to me
The balance and brilliance to which I aspire
And of the freedom we all seek
But the fog still lingers in my dreams
And the thoughts of yesterday seem
To cling
To cling to me
The flowing movement of his dance in the sky
Knowing at any moment he could live or die
Live your life on tightrope, he really keeps it high
Reaching beyond fear or hope
With the dawn ever in sight
But the fog still lingers in my dreams
And the thoughts of yesterday seem
To cling
To cling to me
Refusing the rules, for success he would choose to make a plan
Whether or not it is possible wasn't a matter at hand
From the figure in the sky you could see he's a concrete man
So when we look we would realise, well, maybe we too can
His image would remind me of a waking dream
Like daring to look through reality's tearing seams
The fright from the fall that shakes your bed before you hit the ground
Or the glimpse of a moment inside my head where lucidity is found
To cling
To cling
To cling
To cling to me

Reign or Slave

Can't step back anymore
I won't live with my knees to the floor
I will defend what is mine
I've earned this shine
So stop stealing my time
I don't want war
But I will stand up
I want nothing more
Than my fair cut
Yeah, his is my rule
To be free
I will reign over my own mental territory
Holding on
Stop. Go
Moving strong
Ebb. Flow
Holding-on
Stop. Go
Moving strong
Like a rock
I roll
Acting like a beggar
Well, couldn't feel any worse
I should've know better
Than to trust some curse
I'm built for comfort
Not for speed
My life's not a marathon
Man, it's a journey
It's so simple
You should try
Do you write your own story
Or do you write your own lie
There's a crown you get at birth
So know your power
And know your worth
A petalled crown shines from your head
With which you know
Through which you can connect
Holding on
Stop. Go
Moving strong
Ebb. Flow
Holding on
Stop. Go
Moving strong
Like a rock
I roll
I can tie these loose ends
Coz although I'm tender
I am immense
I'll just put my chin up
And my chest out
Know thyself
Do not doubt
No more confusion
The eye of the storm
Re-initiated
Like a phoenix, reborn
To wear a crown
Well, is to serve
And I know my power
And I know my worth
A petalled crown shines from my head
I've lived my life
And lemme tell you
I've made my bed
With my crown on my head
Now you might think
Girl, who do you think you are
But you should know
These words come from my heart
I do not mean to rule another person, no
Just my own headspace
So should you, coz listen
You reign or you slave
You reign or you slave
You reign or you slave
You reign or you slave
You reign or you slave
You reign or you slave
Holding on
Stop. Go
