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

[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

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

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

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

Dreads Down

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
