BAE

Bae

They’re all saying that you’re no good for me

But they don’t see what I see

A stoney shell covers a heart of gold

With you bae, I want to grow old

 

Don’t leave me alone

Let’s jump into the unknown

I'll be the best love you’ve ever known

And through this world we’ll roam

 

Bae - I think you all the time

You’re always on my mind

Bae bae - I think you all the time

You’d better get in line

 

They’re all saying that I should just move on

But I tell them they are wrong

Even when you’re coming home late every night

With you there is no wrong or right

 

Don’t walk away from me

I’m the one who’ll always be

Standing here propping up your tree

There is no you without me


 

Bae - I think you all the time

You’re always on my mind

Bae bae - I think you all the time

You’d better get in line

You’d better get in line

You’d better get in line

billionaires

Billionaires in space

They put a price on everything

Squeezing blood from a stone

The air is getting hard to breathe

Killing the place that we call home

 

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

 

The moment that we realize

We are stronger than them all

Join hands and come together

The mighty powers fall

 

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

 

They’re sending billionaires up to space

On a rocketship - Oh yes a rocketship

You think we’ll get a ticket - Oh hell no

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

​

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

 

There is no planet B - Break free from tyranny

It’s time that we all see - Collective is the key

 

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

Billionaires in space

They put a price on everything

Squeezing blood from a stone

The air is getting hard to breathe

Killing the place that we call home

 

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

 

The moment that we realize

We are stronger than them all

Join hands and come together

The mighty powers fall

 

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

 

They’re sending billionaires up to space

On a rocketship - Oh yes a rocketship

You think we’ll get a ticket - Oh hell no

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

We’ve got no place to go

​

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

 

There is no planet B - Break free from tyranny

It’s time that we all see - Collective is the key

 

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

This world’s worth fighting for - This is all we’ve got

corner of my mind

Corner of my mind

You only see what you want to see - but don’t do anything - lay low

I’m on the edge of a reckoning  - but I can’t reach for you - oh no 

We’re running blind towards the precipice - but I can’t leap to you - who knows 

If we’d have met in another place - Or another time - Take it slow

 

I feel you softly in my hand  - And then I breathe  - And let you go

If you’d just give us a chance - I would reap what you sow

In the corner of my mind you’ll stay - In the corner of my mind

In the corner of my mind you’ll stay - In the corner of my mind

 

Just say the things that you want to say - I’d do anything - just say so

If I could be what you want to be - I’d be anything - I’d grow

You only see what you want to see I can’t do anything - that's how it goes

Running empty on an uphill slide - It’s all a show

 

I feel you softly in my hand  - And then I breathe  - And let you go

If you’d just give us a chance - I would reap - What you sow

In the corner of my mind you’ll stay - In the corner of my mind

In the corner of my mind you’ll stay - In the corner of my mind

 

Ahhhhhh…I just don’t know

Ahhhhhh…Where the wind will blow

 

If could see you through the looking glass

I would reach for you - Don’t you know?

But don’t say the thing that what you want to say 

I won’t leave with you - I can’t go

 

In the corner of my mind you’ll stay - In the corner of my mind

In the corner of my mind you’ll stay - In the corner of my mind

empath

Empath

Good gracious child, you feel it all

The ache of creatures big and small

You read the sorrow on their faces

This land holds no safe places 

 

It weighs heavy on my mind

It weighs heavy on your mind

Life weighs heavy on your mind

Life weighs heavy on our mind

 

Don’t let the darkness get you down 

This world needs more of your kind around

Spread your gift of feeling

So we may find our way towards healing

 

Life weighs heavy on your mind

It weighs heavy on your mind

Life weighs heavy on your mind

It weighs heavy on your mind

 

We hold it back - But it don’t feel right

We’ll find our way - We’ll seek the light

​

Life weighs heavy on your mind

It weighs heavy on your mind

Life weighs heavy on your mind

It weighs heavy on your mind

 

A crashing wave it knocks you down

Can’t pick yourself off the ground

Look up to the sky, you’ll see the sunshine

Let it warm your skin, let it wash away what ales

 

Life weighs heavy on your mind

It weighs heavy on your mind

Life weighs heavy on your mind

It weighs heavy on your mind

 

This super powers a heavy crown

But this world needs more of your kind around

falling backwards

Falling backwards

Don’t need to look far to find the answers

Tip toeing towards another silent spring

Seems like we’re just goin’ chance her

To the well worn path we cling

​

In our minds - we can dream  - a future where all can just be

 

But oooh, we’re falling backwards

Our minds made up, we’ve gone off course

Oooh, we’re falling backwards

Our minds made up, we mount our horse

 

Would you take my place - She asks you

Walk a mile in these shoes

Living is the only way of knowing

What is real - What is true

 

In my eyes - I can see - You ain’t got time - for the likes of me

 

Ooh, I’m falling backwards

My minds made up, I’ve gone off course

Oooh, I’m falling backwards

My minds made up, I plot my course

 

Built a shell of armor all around you

You won’t even let the good ones in 

Can’t keep this up much longer 

Broken hides behind the grin

 

In your heart - you can feel  - The place you need to go in order to heal

 

But oooh, you’re falling backwards

Your minds made up, you’ve gone off course

Oooh, you’re falling backwards

Your minds made up, you mount your horse

 

Let's stumble through the shadows 

Find a new way out of here

Let's stumble through the shadows 

We can find a new way out of here

​

Ahhh..I’m falling backwards

Your falling backwards

We’re falling backwards

Falling backwards

Falling backwards

Falling backwards

forcing fosynthia

Forcing forsynthia

She’s forcing forsythia, turn the gray days gold

She’s forcing forsythia, staves off the bitter cold

 

Don’t buy the hype, man

Strive for a bigger dream

A land that feels right, man

Where no one reigns supreme

 

She’s forcing forsythia, turn our gray days gold

She’s forcing forsythia, don’t do what she’s told

​

Point towards what brings joy, dear

Share love, ease the strife

Give more and you’ll get more

A path towards an abundant life

 

She’s forcing forsythia, turn the gray days gold

She’s forcing forsythia, our future's untold

 

Wake up from the nightmare

That’s been created by greed

We can’t put a price, man 

On what’s always been free

 

She’s forcing forsythia, turn the gray days gold

She’s forcing forsythia, the best things in life can’t be sold

lay your body down

Lay your body down

Everybody is looking for answers

They’re seeking high and low

Give or take, go big or small

There’s no, one size that fits all

 

Ain’t nobody going to hold you down

Ain’t nobody going to turn you around

Ain’t nobody going to cleanse your soul

Just lay your body down

 

There was a time when I gave myself freely

Saying yes, people pleasing

Running on empty 

Rest is for the weary

You’ve got to lay your body down

 

Ain’t nobody going to hold you down

Ain’t nobody going to turn you around

Ain’t nobody going to cleanse your soul

Just lay your body down

 

Take it from me, You gotta protect what’s inside you

Find rest in resistance 

Take time to refuel

Then keep it going

‘Cause the fight is long

You’ve got to lay your body down

 

Ain’t nobody going to hold you down

Ain’t nobody going to turn you around

Ain’t nobody going to cleanse your soul

Just lay your body down

Just lay your body down

Just lay your body down 

Lay your body down 

maine midnight

Maine midnight

Just can’t explain this gorgeous place - I’ve got 15 jobs but I have no hate

After work, I go jump in a lake - Cause there ain’t nothing bad about this old state

But, ole’ lord it’s getting late  - Look at the watch on my wrist and its after eight

Some advice from me my friend - Ain’t no sense trying to pretend

A good sleep heavens send - Nothing good happens after ten

 

It’s Maine Midnight Yeah - Maine Midnight - uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

Maine Midnight - yeah - It’s Maine Midnight - yeah

 

Well in the wintertime, gets dark at three - It's not for everyone, take it from me

I’m cooking dinner at a quarter to four - Maine midnight knocking early at my door

Just surrender, don’t tempt fate - A good sleep is so damn great 

Listen to what your mama said - Nothing good happens after ten

 

It’s Maine Midnight Yeah - Maine Midnight - uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

Maine Midnight - yeah - It’s Maine Midnight - yeah

 

Bodies aching, legs turning to lead - I’ve got lay down and rest my head

I feel it coming, it’s time for bed - Listen to what your mama said

No use putting up a fight - Oh baby, it’s Maine midnight

Oh no…here it comes…YAWN…..

 

It’s Maine Midnight Yeah - Maine Midnight - uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

Maine Midnight - yeah - It’s Maine Midnight - yeah

 

Here is comes again

I know you guys are getting a little bit sleepy

I can see the light, leaving your eyes

Well you know we are getting close to the hour - of what we call, Maine midnight

​

Maine midnight, nothing good happens after ten

Maine midnight, we should get in bed my friends

Maine midnight, the lights gone out - I’m heading home instead wandering about

It’s Maine Midnight (Maine Midnight!) (x3)

Maine Midnight, yeah

ZZZZZZZZZ

 

Listen to me, won’t you friend - This evening is about to end

Ain’t no sense trying to pretend - The dark has won over the light

I’m going home cause it’s Maine Midnight

That’s 10:30…8:30 in the winter

once the hunter

Once the hunter

He’s calling out your name - You hear him but you do not feel the same

Tiptoes behind you echo in your brain - You cannot hide

Scratches at your door - You look but don’t see him anymore

The fear is rotting out your core - This can’t go on

 

Ooooooo…he’s got you

Ooooooo…you’ve got nowhere to hide

 

Everything he said - It rattles around inside your head

You mind races, you cannot go to bed - He’s right outside

There’s nothing they can do - Court orders are nothing new 

A trail of lovers black and blue - The fight is mine

 

Oooooo…Once the hunter, now he’s prey

Ooooo….. he will see his judgment day

Oooooo…Once the hunter, now he’s prey

Ooooo….. he will see his judgment day

 

Flip the script today - Casting my fears away

It’s time to make him pay - Got any last words to say

Lurking in the dark - A step behind him in the park

So sad that he has lost his mark - Paybacks a bitch

 

Oooooo…Once the hunter, now he’s prey

Ooooo….. he will see his judgment day

Oooooo…Once the hunter, now he’s prey

Ooooo….. he will see his judgment day

​

I don’t want you anymore - Time to even out the score

Now his blood is on the floor - I'm the lion, hear me roar!

​

ROARRRRRRR

open season

Open season

Gazing out on these wastelands - Wiped clean of their beauty

The remnants of what used to thrive here - Buried under the ground

Can we all just start over - Look past what divides us

Focus on the dreams we all carry - Of living a full full life

 

We’d find much in common - Of what we all hold dear

There is no enemy or other - When everyone is free

 

I’m calling open season for cruelty

Open season for hate

Stray from the direction we are going 

Before it’s all too late

 

I want to love you like a sister - I want to love you like a father

I want to love you like a brother - I want to love you like a mother

 

Why are we like this? - Why are we like this?

Why can’t we do better? - Why can’t we live peaceful together?

 

I’m calling open season for cruelty

Open season for hate

Stray from the direction we are going 

Before it’s all too late

 

I want to love you like a sister - I want to love you like a father

I want to love you like a brother - I want to love you like a mother

 

I’m calling open season for cruelty

Open season for hate

Stray from the direction we are going 

Before it’s all too late

Dismantle the systems - Open the gates

Join in the resistance - Let’s change our fate

reckoning coming

Reckoning coming

I fear the howling winds might blow this old house down tonight

It shakes, it creaks and screams - I hope we make it thru the night

I’d barter with the devil just to make everything seem alright

But if our time has come, head on now towards the light

 

Do you hear that distant drumming?

Will we suffer for our sins?

I feel a reckoning is coming

And in the end game, no one wins

 

Please absolve me of the crimes of my kin 

I’ve done the best I can in this life I’ve been living

Please absolve me of the crimes of my kin 

I’ve done the best I can in this life I’ve been living

​

We’ve lost our senses, dulled down by distractions of the overt sort

I pray, I beg, bend a knee on the alter of the highest court

Who makes the rules to say that we all have to fight?

Despite our differences, we’re heading towards the same light

 

Do you hear that distant drumming?

Will we suffer for our sins?

I feel a reckoning is coming

And in the end game, no one wins

 

Please absolve me of the crimes of my kin 

I’ve done the best I can in this life I’ve been living

Please absolve me of the crimes of my kin 

I’ve done the best I can in this life I’ve been living

 

There’s no one coming to save us

Honey, we’ve got to save ourselves

There’s no one coming to save us

Honey, we’ve got to save ourselves

Road of no return

Road of no return

There are so many roads I’ve wandered down

So many stones I’ve left unturned

You think it’s time that I settle down 

But I’m running on that road of no return

Running on that road of no return

 

I’m running from things you cannot see

My daddy’s drinking, momma’s tears

Memories fade but not forgotten

Running from the roots of my years

Running from the roots of my years

 

Life is hard - Life is sweet

Not always what you want it to be

I’ve have reached my point of no return

 

Grab my heart and pull it out

You know what I’m talking ‘bout

Pack my things - I’m back to the road of no return

 

There are so many lives I’ve had to lead

So many faces I have worn

So many good ones I’ve had to leave 

Moving on without the time to mourn

Running from the place where I was born

 

Now my life is in the cruise control

I can’t believe sometimes it's real

He glued the pieces of my broken parts

But I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel

And the road is calling, get behind the wheel

The road is calling, get behind the wheel

 

Here it is - This is real

This is how - I want to feel

If this is it - Then why can’t I just be?

Life is hard - Life is sweet

This is where - I want to be

But tether me down - and I will break free!

 

There are so many times I’ve wriggled out

I’ve made a rule that’s guiding me

You think by now I’d have it figured out

But I’m only on the road that’s calling me

Only on the roads calling me

That's calling me

​

I’m my ride or die

I’m my ride or die

I’m my ride or die

I’m my ride or die

I’m my ride or die

Safety net

Safety net

The whole damn world has fallen to pieces

It don’t make no sense at all

People stuck in the hardest of places

Pressed between a rock and a wall

Breaking free isn’t an easy equation

We all need someone to call

 

Please will you catch me

Will you save me, before I fall

Please will you catch me

We you save me, if I fall

 

Safety net - Won’t you be my safety net

Safety net - Be my safest bet

 

Too many don’t have a place to come home to

Where they can just be 

There is no future, there’s only the present

And nothing comes free

We all need arms outstretched to hold us

A strong community 

 

Please will you catch me

Will you save me, before I fall

Please will you catch me

We you save me, if I fall

 

No regrets - Won’t you be my safety net

Don’t need it yet, but - Won’t you be my safety net

 

When waters rise please take me higher to a place warm and dry

Be my shade when the sun burns like fire

Be my shoulder to cry

Hold my hand now and lay down beside me

As we ascend to the sky

 

Please will you catch me - Will you save me, before I fall

Please will you catch me -We you save me, if I fall

 

Safety net - Won’t you be my safety net

Be the one I won’t forget - Won’t you be my safety net

should know better

Should know better

You should know better than to call my phone

You know you are not welcome at home

There is nothing left to say

We were lost before you strayed

It’s always something - You cannot shake

It’s always something - Another mistake

 

Please don’t blame me - I can’t make you happy 

Don’t blame me - Just set yourself free

We will find our way past here

I swear it, I swear it 

Watch us slowly disappear

 

You should know better than to come round here

Our love has been replaced with tears 

And the time that we had was fine

But now we are just dragging the line

It’s always something - You cannot take

It’s always something - For heaven’s sake

 

Please don’t blame me - I can’t make you happy 

Please don’t blame me - Just set yourself free

We will find our way past here

I swear it, I swear it 

Watch us slowly disappear

 

I should know better than to call your phone

But for forever you have been my home

We started out so strong

But those days are long long gone

It’s always something - You cannot fake

It’s always something - We’ve got to break

snow will go

Snow will go

It’s on its way, you feel that chill in the air

Wake in the morn to a winter wonderland

Put out a call for your friends to come and play

Once you’re out, you’re going wanna stay

 

The snow will go

Snow will go

Snow will go

That is what we all know

 

You dance around, your heart is beating fast

You wonder why, the good things never last

The white powder blows

From your head down to your toes

Shut your eyes and go with the flow

 

The snow will go

Snow will go

Snow will go

That is what we all know

 

Temperatures rising

The world around us melts

Feels like we’re living in a 

Boiling snow globe

Catch flakes on your tongue

For the rest of the day

Get it while you can 

Before it goes away

 

The snow will go

Snow will go

Snow will go

That is what we all know

 

More powders blowing in

Don’t hide yourself away

Seek and you shall find

A place where the lights are low

Where nothing is slow

Where we embrace the night

Where the beat is right

To dance our winter blues away

​

It’s that time of the season

When you start to lose your mind

You have a good reason

But don’t give into the grind

 

The snow will go

Snow will go

Snow will go

That is what we all know

​

Pretty soon there won't be snow, folks

Appreciate it while it lasts

vigilante chef

Vigilante chef

You’re not just a gal with a pretty face

You got swagger & all that grace

But whatcha hiding in your bouillabaisse?

What you cooking? Good looking?

What you cooking? Good looking?

​

I see you trolling in the cyberspace

Buying lemons at the marketplace

Are you planning up a coup de grace?

What you cooking? Good looking?

What you cooking? Good looking?

 

We might be living in crazy man’s land 

The secret sauce is going to take a stand

What you cooking? Good looking?

Come on get a little closer to me

Take a queue from the bourgeoisie

What you cooking? Good looking?

 

Take a bite - Don’t put up a fight

Take a sip - Sink your battleship

Swallow it down - Now get out of town

 

A last supper for heads of state

Villains, royals and those who hate 

Hurry up now, don’t be late 

What you cooking? Good looking?

What you cooking? Good looking?\

​

Dishes cleaned without a trace

Head on back to your hiding place

It’s not a sprint, it's a relay race

What you cooking? Good looking?

What you cooking? Good looking?

 

I’ve been looking high and low

Wanna be a commando

What you cooking? Good looking?

Hand over your wooden spoon

I’ll join the ranks of your platoon 

What you cooking? Good looking?

 

Take a bite - Don’t put up a fight

Take a sip - Sink your battleship

Swallow it down - Now get out of town

 

Mmmmm…this tastes like revolution
