The Talking Palm Tree

That's the first connection
You should treat all things as spirit
That's the first connection
Never seen a place
Never been like this one here
Crystals fallin' down
Kinda like on Jupiter
Mirrors everywhere
Reflecting back all of our fears
And there's faces not like ours
Swear we've landed in Utopia
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
Picked an apple from the tree of life
Hope no one saw
Yeah, we tried to push the boundaries
They all clapped their hands and cheered us on
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
And we are so high, so high, so high
Talkin' 'bout this freedom
Cause we're in freedom
And this is what it feels like
That's the first connection
You should treat all things as spirit

You said we could fly to the moon
Promised we would get there
Now we're stuck in memories
Caged by your complexity
But the both of us know
We can't change all the past we paved
I don't want to run away
But I don't see no other way to go
We can't change all the past we paved
I don't want to run away
But I don't see no other way to go
I don't want to run away
Other way
I don't want to run away
I told you you were from the stars
Maybe that was little too far
What if in a parallel universe
The telling us don't give it up
Remember playin’ Dilla songs
Remember when we stayed up
Connecting on our chakra storms
Forever, but the both of us know
We can't change all the past we paved
I don't want to run away
But I don't see no other way to go
We can't change all the past we paved
I don't want to run away
But I don't see no other way to go
I don't want to run away
Other way
I don't want to run away

In Your Hands

You got my body in your hands
But you won't take it
You think that I won't understand
But I swear I'm braver
From before, when I was
When I would live in fear
But times change, it's too late
That's when you disappeared
Into the air, I left it
In your hands, in your hands
I know you care, I felt it
In your hands, in your hands
But the gods took you away
To a land, another land
So I won't fight our fate
It's in your hands, in your hands
I know your barrier is cold
We're both the same
The depths we dive no parallel
You're the first i found
Who is not afraid
To go where they won't go
To believe in something
But they're just seeds we throw
Into the air, I left it
In your hands, in your hands
And, oh, you care, I felt it
In your hands, in your hands
But the gods took you away
To a land, another land
So I won't fight our fate
It's in your hands, in your hands
Our hearts beat out of time
But I keep thinkin' 'bout, keep on thinkin' bout
There must be somethin' that
Ain't quite finished yet
I know there is a higher power
I'll hold it
Into the air, I left it
In your hands, in your hands
And, oh, you care, I felt it
In your hands, in your hands
But the gods took you away
To a land, another land
So I won't fight our fate
It's in your hands, in your hands

Shut up
Please give me some space today
I'm full up
Drinking all your energy
I know your mistakes could be reflections of mine
But, unlike you, I'm open to accept them as life
What now, your words have broken way too much
Pow pow, I hope the blood don't make a fuss
Drifting over me, it somehow cleanses me nice
I guess I always knew you were a gift of divine
Divinity is gold
You're playing with my soul again
You're messing up my mind again
You're blacking out my light again
Negativity won't do good for you, won't do good for me
You're playing with my soul again
You're messing up my mind again
You're blacking out my light again
Negativity won't do good for you, won't do good for me
Brother, you say the world ain't been your friend
But really, you really wanna play that game again?
Fire that you spit will only burn out your tongue
So close your ears and close your eyes before it's all gone
What if you are just a hologram?
Magic, another little glimpse of who I am
Shadows never win, they only show me your dark
So breathe on through the pain before it rips us apart
Divinity is gold
You're playing with my soul again
You're messing up my mind again
You're blacking out my light again
Negativity won't do good for you, won't do good for me
You're playing with my soul again
You're messing up my mind again
You're blacking out my light again
Negativity won't do good for you, won't do good for me

We don't even know why we're here
In a land of limitation why we here
Was it made by those above who don't care?
Was it planned by ones who love, ones who care?
I'll keep waiting for answers
I'll keep waiting for answers
I'll keep waiting for answers
I'll keep waiting for answers
Memories that always come when you're near
(When you're near)
How we always endure pain we fear
(Pain we feel)
If we took another road, what's the worst?
(Would it be the worst?)
If we played another game, would we learn?
(I'll keep on waiting)
I'll keep waiting for answers
(I'll be waiting)
I'll keep waiting for answers
I'll keep waiting for answers
(I'll be waiting)
I'll keep waiting for answers
We're being asked to stop living from the mind and the ego
And to start living from the heart once again
And all we are asked to do is be love
When you live from love, everything changes
With love, you remember who you are
With love, you do not judge anyone else
By being love, you change the world consciousness
From mind to heart
Love really is the answer
I'll keep waiting for answers
(I'll be waiting)
I'll keep waiting for answers
I'll keep waiting for answers
(I'll be waiting)
I'll keep waiting for answers
