Almost pt. 1 02:23
While I’m playing in my mind space To grant myself some grace I suppose I’ll try to own my penchant to inspire Both pain and pleasure One never seems to come without the other So I suppose I’ll let the words flow When they need to Pretense has no place here I’ll be sniffed out for my low pair I’ve taken on a character To get somewhere
2.
Almost pt. 2 04:55
I don’t even want to think of starting over I thought heaven would be so so much closer I don’t even wanna think of being recycled But I know matter to and fro is all the same cycle But then again, I’d rather be in the earth than brick and concrete Then again I’d rather be basil and honey than ignorant speech I’d rather be, I’d rather be, I’d rather be, in the air The task at hand seems overwhelming Diving into shadow breaks my heart to mending Forgotten pieces buried faceless Feeling into dark to rope the anchor baseless Beliefs have luckily found their way that gush good luck Tart tickling tongue shapes natures bounty A good friend under my care Hauling my most peaceful days through sieved green Hallelujah to the miracles I’ve seen But not in the way you may believe The trees speak the dead live on Seen things when young haunt strong Dive taught that string to ankle in mind chasing A dual buzzing in the ears And a vision crushing tears through me Traveling through open frames Having yet to print on spiraled particle bone

Tiger Hymn 01:42
(Lyrics performed live) Half my true self veiled in paleness The other half through curves my body vibrates in this space Chaos woven but still drawing lovers to it Inviting them to share in the red from my split Mixed race baby missing a language Inheriting the legacy of daddy’s harassment Teacher called him stupid cause he could speak English Now my cultures’ muted, ain’t that some bullshit!
4.
No Thanks 03:57
I saw those leaves fall And the fruit turn sour But I’ll keep thriving on Too bad, so damn sad Went the way of the power grab Gold touch turn to ash Shade thrown too close my way No thanks, I’ll take my leave And make what I want The embarrassing admission Is that I left to see you fall You made your choice and now we’ll see how this goes The embarrassing admission Is that I left to see you crumble You made your choice and now I’m traveling a different road Looks like Looks like Looks like… (verse) Looks like Looks like Looks like… Looks like you’ve got the Midas curse Looks like you’ve got the Midas curse Looks like you’ve got the Midas curse
5.
Deceit 03:45
Races in mind are hard won I didn’t want to look back or run Stuck in entropy I left the surface of this world to explore my divides The jitter often leaves me Aching for motion Up and down break through And drown intentionally Excess and depravity no new dichotomy
6.
OTT 01:44
(Lyrics performed live) Oscillating violently between grandeur and self-hatred I thought what I wanted was sacred I misinterpreted the lines my skin creased when I smiled I tore my happy vision from split bone and hide What has transpired… A skeletal familiarity gone What I wished I had was seen buried in the compromising laughs Pocked and opaque, I refuse to dwell on other than my nature Being led by the nose to my patience What has transpired is not a mistake But the forming of glacier over fiery self-hatred
7.
New Five 04:37
They say I am God, but what am I willing to change I broke a few good beliefs grinding against the grain They say I have sway over my environment How the hell do I believe it with all this regret They keep telling me to keep a positive mindset Little did I know that avoidance of the negative Would leave me in the dark and afraid of myself Turns out it’s not either or it’s everything and more Goodbye peace of mind So illusively sly Goodbye peace of mind I guess I, I guess I, I guess I, Guess I’ve got to say goodbye
8.
Blue Spark 05:44
Blue spark take me over Knowledge is useless without its practice Inner will give me a call Some things I know I’ll have to cut off Orange womb birth me a song That grips strong my conscience Put here in matter for a purpose Fates’ strings tight enough to squeeze it out Why do I have so many strings tied to my fingers I forget it’s impossible to please everyone Don’t mind me, but could you bug off for just one second I just need some time to get my thoughts straight for once
