Things will never be the same for those who knew your name What did you have to say, that made you go this way Why couldn't you just wait, and call your brothers name Didn't know you had so much pain, we were there for you always But there's something in me says, even though you've gone away You're headed to a good place Now time has come, when all is said and done You were the one, who smiled like the sun I'm forever asking please, won't you just come back to me And now this day has come, where we all must stand as one It's exactly what he'd want Why couldn't you just wait, why'd you have to escape At this moment i can't relate But there's something in me says Even though you've gone away You're headed to a good place Now time has come, when all is said and done You were the only one, who smiled like the sun I'm forever asking please, won't you just come back cause we Will miss you now you've flown To infinity and beyond

Well the unspoken seems to drive, Crystal not so clear How are you doing? What's arrived my friend? Wait no.. just slow.. how? No need to keep it low down This moments opportune, and it is ours ohh, Since the first pedigree of changing seasons passed Couldn't shelter the feeling, out this world gifted to man Time can get quite appealing dangling things that we can't grasp Or so it's told.. oooohhh So many moons ago, the knowledge found was lost in throes A start of all the things to come, what came was sown to be undone The one unleashed it's own true self expressed freely as something else Beauty for you to be see and feel (Tell me) What it is when this race is run (Tell me) All the things you would have undone (Tell me) Can we find ourselves over the other side If we can't be found my hopes are drowned, it's burning me inside Tell me Well the unspoken seems to drive, Crystal not so clear How are you doing? What's arrived my friend? Wait no.. just slow.. how? No need to keep it low down This moments opportune, and it is ours ohh, Say you'll be there (Say you'll be there) Watching me stop and stare, do you even know? Say you'll be there, for when the time is up I'll be coming back home, to you

Sitting here waiting, for what we were So devastating, even doctors can't find a cure What to do and what to say, is beyond me Everybody else around still smiling, smiling back at me A carcinogenic waste away, or could be something cool, Those beats so tasty, between em i must, Between em i must choose Can't wait a single day, for the obvious most controverulust thing Love whoah, whoah Why do you do this? When you know? Sitting here waiting, sitting here just waiting for you Sitting here waiting, i just don't know what i should do Sitting here waiting, for what we were So devastating even doctors can't find a cure.

Sometimes i wonder, what should i really do? With my life, cause it's hard not to think of you You were carrying my daughter, i would've seen it through To be the proudest of dad's, would've been a dream come true So many gifts you gave to me, in our short while Love nothing more to see your smile and soul But now you've crossed that line This shit sucks it's just fucked i'm about to lose my mind From this pain that i've felt I guess it's just the hand that we were meant to be dealt But no doubt thes kinds of things go and work themselves out Look at me now, used to hardly even believe in myself It's been, too many months since she was taken away Left with me memories sealed with scars from the pain What's the name thats to blame, when i'm screaming in vain And my hearts falling out, while i dance in the rain Of my own tears i realise my own worst fears are present Your lives to me are worth much more then living But there's your voice again telling me to push my limit Chase my dream, find my truth and just live within it It must of been a test cause at best i invest More of my time onto each and every line to express What you mean to me, none will ever guess I have dreams streaming flying from this life to the next Being without you makes me sick to my stomach Overrun by the memories can't think nothing of it As i grasp, yeah i try to hold on Feeling both of your losses We've been robbed now it seems, that i lost ya It's hard to see the light, especially when it's dark Won't ever let that stop me go forth to make my mark Would've gave my life for yours, it's that which i had done though Secretly you knew i was hoping for a son You made me feel the butterflies from deep inside but now i've cried A million times, creating tides, thinking that we just waste our lives Dwelling on that shit, that doesn't even matter It's a brighter day if you relax your thoughts and gather The things that you hold most dearest to your heart Wishing wells are ourselves chilling out among the stars At least the break was clean, right when were ripped apart Like a cloudy shadowed dream, yeah this too shall pass It must of been a test cause at best i invest More of my time onto each and every line to express What you mean to me, none will ever guess I have dreams streaming flying from this life to the next, Come on What keeps my heart pumping inside of me there's something That tries to tell my mind all these trials they aren't for nothing So time just passed me by, i grew without your comfort Till i finally realised i'm aligned with life's circumference My precious baby girl was brought into this world Just to take you back home, yeah i know that sounds absurd Not never in my life would i expect this Forward most position that derives from my consciousness Never again will i second guess, this here is a test To do my best to create memories of love, and best dish up All the positive things i can think of Feel it's finally time for my to spread my wings and fly It must of been a test cause at best i invest More of my time onto each and every line to express What you mean to me, none will ever guess I have dreams streaming flying from this life to the next

Thoughts 05:02
I sit watching as these thoughts go by Keen to believe there's more that i could see Then what's in front of human eyes Could it be? Am i mentally deceived? Can i've a clearer picture of this portrait please? This landscape is now my playground Nobody around that's trying to make me lay down or stay down Who ever thought we could be, misfits so magically sown together Can't dream if you don't sleep though I watch and scream let it be Though tough times define my life Yeah this music shit it changed my mind Helping me rise when, them tired nights would arrive I was alright, had a million spirits by my side What if everything you thought you were seeing, Was just result of us all being predestined inter-dimensional beings? How do you think it would feel? This songs dedicated to them souls, that couldn't find the courage To speak up up up up They couldn't speak up up up up Now they're lost They couldn't speak up up up up They couldn't speak up up up up Now they're lost Look man, Cause it's not time wasting when you're spending your youth Pictures perfect when you pulling signs up there with your crew It's now the time to realise it contributes to you Every thing that you move, every single breath you've been through Dyspeptic tastes of greed is eventually what will undo This world in all it's form that is presented to you It's that shit man supreme as an elephants trunk Or as peaceful as Buddha chilling up there with the monks All the times i have visualised what to do myself But at the end of the day, when were with ourselves Just sit back cause i know in the end you'll find None but ourselves can free our mind Another verse right here for the times you were scared When your big brother hit you and your mum wasn't there Just forgive just forget and let that past be that past Cause if you hold that grudge life will go way too fast We all family, at the end of the day Come on and be a part of this brand new way We are rearing to go, go on and push me next might not be wrong but i'm rocking up barefoot and no vest As you can see, im sitting here jamming for thee Hoping you'll get up now and have a dance with me But if you don't wanna then that's cool too Just chill back, remember in the dark times that you You can speak up up up up And not get lost Yeah, you can speak up up up up And not get lost Whoah, You can speak up up up up And not get lost Yeah, you can speak up up up up And not get lost Whoah, You can speak up up up up And not get lost Yeah, you can speak up up up up And not get lost , ooohhh

Someday 03:39
Chorus 1:
 I figure that someday I will find my way, But tonight.. 
I’m drinking that something out of Time and Space, Can I
 Deliver my song into the night? True to what is on my mind? 
Deliver my soul into the sky, Where those dreams all come from

 Verse:
I’ve felt a lot of sadness, I fear I can’t hack it 
I push a lot to the side, but the attractions like a magnet 
There’s nothing really solid like the, Moon in the sky
To keep me from thinking I need, a bullet between my eyes
But that shit is lies, Cause inside- This what I find.
Pain and tears that rise, seem trapped and immortalised 
At me all the time, Attack my peace of mind 
Gettin’ at me now, tryna make me feel not fine. 

I didn’t even try, I gave up inside it
I put that wall up yeah, my fate had been decided. 
So I kept on going down that lonely road that no one knows,
But we all been there deep, dark down in ourselves cause ya 
“Got so many friends around, you can’t help” 
But get yourself out your shell and have a good time, 
But now. 

We’re kickin’ on for those souls who is lost, One more time. 
And I’ma sing it for ya’ll. 

Chorus 2
 I figure that someday I will find my way, But tonight.. 
I’m drinking that something out of Time and Space, Can I
Deliver my song into the night? True to what is on my mind? 
Deliver my soul into the sky, Where those dreams all come from.

Yeah-e Yay, Where my dreams all come from Yeah-e Yay, Where my dreams all come from
Wooo ooo woooahh 
Yeah-e Yay, Where my dreams all come from
Yeah-e Yay

Freedom 04:46
Freedom, Freedoms what I’m talking bout . Freedom, is coming straight out my mouth, whoah
, Cause we tried so hard and we got so far, 
 Making all those moves up on our guitars,
 Talking bout freedom, 
Freedoms what I’m talking bout,

 Sometimes a pressure winding is thirst, 
An ever twisting rewind of strictest times play minds in reverse, 
What’s the worst that could happen? You die or come first?
 Repeat it to the sound at the edge of the earth,
 Just check your ticket as you try to find words, 
Take a look at yourself as your flying out of this world,
 You’re busting it up, you’re stuck in that rut,
 You never know what’s enough, like politicians who’re corrupted as fuck. 

It’s time to take the stand up against the man,
Seize the day, take the power in hand,
Put aside all that’s petty and ride,
 Together till the end, till the end of your life,
 Don’t fight the friction, and try to understand,
 That when you go with the flow, you’re the master plan,
That’s just when all this bad shit ends, 
It’s just you chilling out with all of your friends

As we walk through this life we can do what we like, 
Fuck the verse, Fuck the Mic, I just wanna get high,
Make the music everyday and get by? 
Or taste some success in life, yeah, 
We’ll toast to the sky,
Cause people come and go amongst your ins and outs,
Your ups and downs but people might just fuck you round, 
But there’s nothing to say at the end of the day, 
Harm is karma it’ll only come back your way. 

Freedom, Freedoms what I’m talking bout, Yay Freedom, is coming straight out my mouth whoah
Cause we tried so hard and we got so far, 
Making all those moves up on our guitars,
Talking bout freedom, Whoah,
Freedoms what I’m talking bout

 Nikau: Well mumma I’m free, 
Nomation, 
Whakarongo mai let’s have a conversation,
Cause ever since your soul came down from the heavens,
You’ve been a free man, and you a free woman, 
But somewhere along the way you got told, 
That responsibility is just a part of getting old, 
So you gotta put your freedom to the side, 
Jokes on you motherfucker we alive, cause,
Every morning when I wake up with the rising sun,
Every step I take is free, every breath I make is free, 
Protect your sovereignty, Protect your sovereignty,
Cause Freedom yeah that’s all we have,

Freedom, Freedoms what I’m talking bout . Freedom, Whoah, is coming straight out my mouth, whoah
Cause we tried so hard and we got so far, 
Making all those moves up on our guitars,
Talking bout freedom, Whoah, Whoah
