lyrics

This song is about people

We have come a long way, and we have a long way to keep going...

This song is for you

Optimystic:
I've been blessed
with notes and rests
came from east to west
just to lay my head down
On this solemn stone I carve broken bones and bad quotes to make armor
Bad Karma will always catch up
Bodhi Dharma never spoke loud enough
i know we all feel like bike spokes its tough just spinning and spinning and spinning so out of control but theres love

I'm fluent in below the influence
I'm looking at a world of discontent
and issues but its a misuse of your consciousness as I'm puffing on this Parliament I can't find enough in my pocket to make change for the common zen+s
We were drowning in arguments
trying to turn lead to gold pound for pound but we lost our heads
ha
but it all connects
I saw her waiting under rain clouds wonder how the pain sounds in the past tense
I'm deciphering your body language through fibonnaci sequences climbing out the hole that anguish sealed me in, speaking in tounges she taught me how to take chances
now I pour a little liquor out when we raise glasses

Ashtrays filled with bad days memories I used to tell you I'd do anything for you to remember me
gave you kiss
said goodbye

yeah it ends like this

Wolphe:
All Along
She knew exactly where i belong

Build it all up, and then watch it fall
(back down to the earth)
We search to solve, it hopes to dissolve
(back down into dirt)
The waves are calm, flowing through her arms
(too afraid to get hurt)
I travel slow, waiting for rebirth
(or do i get to die first)

Skin red from the sun under her flushed cheeks
never getting enough of what she's given me
while we're living free, will you believe in me
and let me slither up your breast and rest in peace
Sea sick from spinning me around (and around)
i'm feeling dizzy but i love how it calms me down
hidden behind the clouds of smoke and fog
i hear her calling my name
(smile)
bang! bang! bang! someone's knocking at the back door
i just keep on riding till i hit the shore
never looking back crooked path driven by the oars
made of feathers from the bird with the scarlet tail
reborn anew to live again like my old soul
but informed all knowing from my gravestone
being dragged by the wind leaving a paved road
for the slave to discover when he hops the boat
bang! bang! bang! all the stars are falling from the sky
i better stick out my tongue and sing a lullaby
i just keep smiling till i hit the floor
just keep running through every open door
i know i'll see it through and eventually be free
i already have the patience to grow my wings
chasing beez all the way up the tree
leave me hanging like an ornament
(My IdEntity)

All along
(all along I've known)
She knew exactly where i belong
(So now we wait)

(Optimystic)
I got a black box full of your old memories you see me from the sky where I'm meant to be
know it's peace
gave you a kiss
Didn't get to say goodbye but it ends like this

(Christina Aguilera)
Rest in peace, thank you
