Shake me awake Bring me back to reality Head on my pillow But I’m not gettin’ any sleep The world’s been waiting, where were you? Everything you want waiting for you All that’s left to do is left to you The world is waiting, where are you? Looking for a sign, we can’t find you Buried in the sands of passing time With racing thoughts running through my mind I see my future in black and white All of my colors fading over time Shake me awake Shake me awake Bring me back to reality Head on my pillow But I’m not gettin’ any sleep Shake me awake

Get Out 04:02
[Get out of my dreams] It started off innocent Just a chance interaction that turned into cigarettes Bad for my body, bad for my home One thing led to another, I couldn’t leave you alone When you came around you brought the streets with you Traces of perpetual pollution in my living room I forget to breathe sometimes Whatever did you do to my mind Whatever did you do to my pride Your silence is violent, now my thoughts won’t be quiet Get out of my heart Get out of my head Get out of my dreams Get out of my bed Get on with my life Get on with my plans Get on with my future Leave you in the past Get out now Get out of my heart We thought we were limitless But then hurt let to hate and the space was the end of us Bad for my body Bad for my home This bed is still warm but you’re not welcome no more

Only One 03:36
I just want to see you move your body I just came to start a party I just want to see you dance Feel the rhythm all up in your body Start under your feet, go on and let it move into your hands Close your eyes if you want to feel like you’re the only one in here Singing I’m the only one in here Only, only one in here I’m the only one in here singing Only, only one in here Ain’t nobody messing with my dougie Ain’t nobody do it like I do it, yes I do it with no hands Wonder why all the boys love me Call me misses fantastic Hello to my haters and my fans Close my eyes, wonder why I feel like I’m the only one that’s here Singing I’m the only one Only one in here

Bullet Holes 03:19
Wish I never met you But now I can’t forget you And if I had one wish I don’t know if I’d wish you away Or wish you back here to stay with me Familiar how the story goes We both end up with bullet holes in our soul Bullet hole, bullet hole, bullet holes in our soul I try but I cannot hate you Why did I ever date you? And I saw the signs, yeah I saw the signs But I chose to stay and play, anyway, with you

The lion lay silent The sky, how it roars Fears do consume me But what are they for? Waves of white horses Tossing their manes for miles Caught in the torrent, lost in the sound Peace like a river flowing through me Love like a mother and her baby Strength like a tree growing tall Still in the eye of the storm The ground starts to fracture The rain how it pours Clouds dark like panthers waging war Raging war

Torch 04:23
Here’s to you queen Doing your thing There’s no way that you won’t win They can say what they wanna say But it’s your game that you’re playing So go on a stump, girl Do what you wanna do Run the world in tennis shoes Make a mark, don’t leave a stone unturned Pick up your torch and let it burn All hail the queen upon her throne Life awaits you, hale and hearty She has much to send your way All of the good times that she brings you Will be fuel to light the way So sound the trumpet, roll out the carpet Only the best is yet to come Step out faithfully, she made you to be great Pick up your torch and let it burn Light the way and blaze a trail for those that follow close behind Get your shine on so they know that they too can shine their light You’ll be amazed, you will be surprised Just keep on being you Doing what you’re doing No way that you won’t win Oh girl Pick up your torch and let it burn
7.
Dreads Down 03:39
Baby, what’s the problem? You say you want something When you get it you still feel like something’s missing Who can you depend on when you’ve pushed everyone away Because you’re trying to be so independent? The glass is always going to be half empty if you’re drinking by your lonesome So pour another cup for me We can certainly talk about while we roll one I can be your therapy You can put your trust in me Baby, let your dreads down It’s OK, you’re with me now Let the music take you there Ganga got you feeling light as air So, tell me what’s your favorite song I’m a put it on, yeah All you gotta do is say yeah Whatever is it anyway? With all the drama going on, feel like we’re living in the 60’s Is it ever going to change? I doubt it, but our love will always be the best remedy for anything So, let’s make love ‘til the sun comes up No worries about tomorrow Let your body be at ease, inhale, release Leave your worries and your sorrow
