  • Some folk will say
    That from your moment of birth
    Time flies so quickly
    Before you leave this earth
    And though your skin and bones
    May crumble back to dirt
    Your soul will rise up and live on high

    Other people say
    That they just don't trust
    And that all that happens
    Is we turn into dust
    So why bother praying
    To the heavens above
    'Cause you won't go
    Nowhere when you die

    When you
    close your eyes
    And take your brave long journey
    into the light
    I'll try to imagine
    if I can
    That this is all part of
    His Master Plan

    You say
    to have no fear
    'Cause you know
    where you'll go
    after here
    And that
    I shouldn't cry
    'Cause you're going to
    a better place
    up in the sky

    As for me,
    I just don't know
    So please promise me
    when it's your time to go
    You'll find a way to visit me
    from time to time
    You'll find a way
    of showing me a sign

    Come back to me
    as a blue butterfly
    And flutter in the window
    right before my eyes
    And when you do
    I won't even be surprised
    And I'll finally believe
    in the divine

    All we see and seem
    Is it just a dream?
    All we think and feel
    Is it really real?

    All we've ever been
    Our family all our friends
    Is all of this the end?
    Will we see you again?

    Fly down to me
    as a bird from the trees
    And land on my hand
    so that I can see
    That I have an angel
    watching over me
    Please help me
    to finally believe

    Come back to me
    as a kitten in a shoe
    It will be a little symbol
    between me and you
    Then I'll know
    there is something else
    beyond the blue
    Then I'll know for sure
    that it is true

    When you
    close your eyes
    And take your brave long journey
    into the light
    I'll try to imagine
    if I can
    That this is all part of
    His Master Plan

    You say
    to have no fear
    'Cause you know
    where you'll go
    after here
    And that
    I shouldn't cry
    'Cause you're going to
    a better place
    up in the sky

    I will try
    not to cry
    And will do my best
    to quell all my pain
    And tell myself
    as we say goodbye
    That it will be a short while
    before I see you again

  • AI generated imaginary conversation with the Bulgarian mystic.

    Speak the wind
    Tell me the signs you knew
    Where it thinned—
    The blue
    Folded sky
    Like a wrinkle gone by
    When the world learns
    What's true

    Trace the path
    Hidden in moss and stone
    Will it last—
    Unknown?
    Will we find
    What we lost to our mind
    When the stars turn
    Back home?

    Show the key
    Hidden in roots or rain
    Let it be
    So plain
    If it's near
    Then I'll follow, not fear
    When the world turns
    Again

    It's better to be kind than to just to be nice
    One is sugar on top, the other is heart and spice
    Nice is a bow that's tied on top
    Kind is the gift that will never stop

    Nice says, “Oh sure, I don't mind at all”
    When all the while it just feels so small”
    Nice gives a handshake, kind gives a hand
    Nice sees the surface, kind understands

    Nice will smile while the truth goes unsaid
    Kind will stick it's neck out and speak up instead
    Nice keeps it quiet, stays out of the way
    Kind dares to help out on a cloudy day

    Nice is a shadow, kind shines the light
    Nice keeps it simple, kind makes it right
    Nice is the cover, kind is the page
    Nice lasts a moment, kind lasts an age

    It's easy to smile, but harder to care
    Nice stays at the doorway, kind pulls up a chair
    Nice says, “You're fine, don't worry at all”
    Kind says, “I'll catch you if ever you fall”

    So be kind, not just nice, take my advice
    A bit of courage makes life taste - twice as bright
    Nice is polite, but kindness is true
    Kind changes the whole world—starting with you

    Nebo je crveno sunce viče
    Ptice šute nitko ne kliče
    Rijeke pjene brda su ravna
    Al' meni sve to nije bitna stvarna

    Neka planeti padnu u more,
    Ništa me brine, ne boli zore.
    Dokle god sjedim blizu tebe,
    Smijem se, čak i kad svijet zebe.

    Zvijezde pucaju k'o petarde,
    Mjesec se smije — stvari su čarde.
    Krave laju, mačke nose štikle,
    A duhovi čitaju dnevne citke.

    Neka planeti padnu u more,
    Ništa me brine, ne boli zore.
    Dokle god sjedim blizu tebe,
    Smijem se, čak i kad svijet zebe.

    Brod iz svemira pao na dućan,
    Zombiji prodaju kruh i ručak.
    Al' tvoju ruku držim snažno,
    Dok zgrade padaju — al' baš tažno.

    Neka planeti padnu u more,
    Ništa me brine, ne boli zore.
    Dokle god sjedim blizu tebe,
    Smijem se, čak i kad svijet zebe.

    Nebo je puno, ogromnih buba,
    One nude kraj, svijeta bez truba.
    Ti zakolutaš, i primiš me,
    Pa plešemo, po pijesku sve.

    Neka planeti padnu u more,
    Ništa me brine, ne boli zore.
    Dokle god sjedim blizu tebe,
    Smijem se, čak i kad svijet zebe.

    Zemlja se otvori kraj igrališta,
    Demon pjeva pop hit bez išta.
    Al' mi pijemo čaj i smijemo se,
    Dok zmajevi ruše vijesti sa sve.

    Neka planeti padnu u more,
    Ništa me brine, ne boli zore.
    Dokle god sjedim blizu tebe,
    Smijem se, čak i kad svijet zebe.

    The sky is red, the sun is shouting
    The birds are silent, no one is cheering
    The rivers are foaming, the mountains are flat
    But none of that matters to me, real

    Let the planets fall into the sea,
    Nothing worries me, the dawn doesn't hurt.
    As long as I sit near you,
    I laugh, even when the world is freezing.

    The stars are bursting like firecrackers,
    The moon is laughing — things are crazy.
    Cows are barking, cats are wearing heels,
    And ghosts are reading the daily readings.

    Let the planets fall into the sea,
    Nothing worries me, the dawn doesn't hurt.
    As long as I sit near you,
    I laugh, even when the world is freezing.

    A ship from space has fallen on a store,
    Zombies are selling bread and lunch.
    But I hold your hand tightly,
    While the buildings are falling — but so true.

    Let the planets fall into the sea,
    Nothing worries me, the dawn doesn't hurt.
    As long as I sit near you,
    I laugh, even when the world freezes.

    The sky is full, huge bugs,
    They offer the end, a world without trumpets.
    You roll up, and you receive me,
    So we dance, all on the sand.

    Let the planets fall into the sea,
    Nothing worries me, the dawn doesn't hurt.
    As long as I sit near you,
    I laugh, even when the world freezes.

    The earth opens up by the playground,
    A demon sings a pop hit for nothing.
    But we drink tea and laugh,
    While the dragons destroy the news from everything.

    Let the planets fall into the sea,
    Nothing worries me, the dawn doesn't hurt.
    As long as I sit near you,
    I laugh, even when the world freezes.

  • You say you love me
    You say you care
    But when I need you
    You're never there
    I try to call you
    On the phone
    Just keeps on ringing
    But you're never home

    Gonna take all my love
    Pack it all up
    Into this suitcase
    Gonna fly like a dove
    I'll take myself where
    The skies are blue
    And when I'm there I'll
    Forget about you

    You say you love me
    Till the end of time
    But I only see you
    Once in a while
    Each time you promise
    That you'll come by
    You leave me waiting
    All through the night

    Gonna take all my love
    Pack it all up
    Into this suitcase
    Gonna fly like a dove
    I'll take myself where
    The skies are blue
    And when I'm there I'll
    Forget about you

    So baby if you ever wonder
    where I've gone
    I got too tired
    of your carrying-on
    Gonna make like a dove,
    gonna make like a swan
    Right after I finish
    at the beauty salon

    Bought myself a ticket
    on a big jet plane
    And when I land
    I'm gonna board a train
    Stretch out on a beach
    with some fine champagne
    And you ain't never
    gonna hear from me again

    Gonna find myself
    someone sweet
    Someone kind,
    who don't mistreat
    Who gives me love,
    don't give me grief
    Someone who dances
    to the same drumbeat

    Someone to walk
    hand in hand
    From Timbuktu
    to Swaziland
    Follow me all the way
    back home again
    From Kingston, Jamaica
    to Glasgow, Scotland

    Leave me waiting forever
    When you finally arrive
    Lipstick on your collar
    And more of your lies
    So don't look for me
    Cause I'll be gone
    Treated me poorly
    So now I'll move on

    Gonna take all my love
    Pack it all up
    Into this suitcase
    Gonna fly like a dove
    I'll take myself where
    The skies are blue
    And when I'm there I'll
    Forget about you

  • Today is a new day
    Still stuck in the old ways
    Running the same old race
    Can't make it through the maze

    Waited for so long
    For our turn to belong
    To stand up and take our place
    Hold the world in our embrace

    You trust us
    To clean and to feed
    But will we ever get a chance
    To stand up and lead?

    This whole world
    Is such a boring boy's game
    Enough to drive
    All the women insane

    Here's the thing
    We don't understand
    Everything keeps tumbling
    but they still
    Keep building on the sand

    It's time they knew
    Our patience is through
    And from now on
    We make our own plan

  • Written in collaboration with ChatGPT

    Pack up my shoes
    Ditch all the things
    I never use
    I'll feel so free
    If I only keep
    what's dear to me

    My growing frustration
    With civilisation
    And this grim worldview
    Sparks a temptation
    For transformation—
    Time for something new

    Deep in the forest,
    Far from the chorus
    Of crowds and machines—
    I'll live like a hermit,
    Calm and determined,
    Chasing simple dreams

    Goodbye smartphone—
    Just need my guitar
    and a comb
    Maybe some seeds
    For corn and peas
    I'll plant at home

    Grow some potatoes,
    Forget about Waitrose—
    Sip on homemade wine
    No need for WiFi
    Or bingeing Sci-Fi
    I'll be doing fine

    Build a tiny home
    From sticks and stone,
    And some moss and clay
    I'll forage the forest
    For mushrooms and stuff, just —
    Living day by day

    When the sun sinks low
    And the moon starts to rise
    And the fire glows
    As the smoke paints the skies
    There's just one thing
    I would truly need—
    In my hermit home,
    To have you there with me

    Say you'll come too
    To our off-grid life
    with a mountain view
    First thing at dawn,
    We'll pack our things
    and we'll be gone

    When we're old and brittle
    And need a hospital
    Or some home healthcare
    When we slow down
    We can scoot back to town
    In our two wheelchairs

    But until then,
    Let's get some hens
    And live off the land
    Self-sufficient living—
    Simple and forgiving—
    Come and take my hand

  • Time keeps marching on - won't delay
    Shadows fade to dawn - into day
    I can't bear to say goodbye - once again
    Not knowing how the story ends - or when

    I wish today was yesterday
    When the sun was warm and the sky was blue
    If only time had not been swept away
    Then I'd have one more day with you

    The road ahead is dark and wide - I can't see
    The thought of years without your eyes - follows me
    Will our paths cross down the line - I can't tell
    But the space between us feels - like farewell

    I wish today was yesterday
    When the sun was warm and the sky was blue
    If only time had not been swept away
    Then I'd have one more day with you

  • You would never
    be where you are
    If you hadn't
    been where you were
    If you hadn't
    walked that road
    And tried to find
    what you were looking for

    If you hadn't
    been knocked down
    And picked yourself back
    off of the ground
    Would you have learned
    how to stand up tall
    Would you have learned
    anything at all?

    I try so hard,
    but it's so slow
    Not even sure,
    is this the right way to go
    So many miles,
    I've left behind
    I'm still searching,
    but will I ever find?

    If you worry 'bout
    what other people say
    Instead of finding
    your own way
    Would you have ended up
    where you belong
    Or would you be back
    in the same old place?

    And if you worry 'bout
    what other people say
    Follow all the rules
    on how to behave
    Instead of listening
    to your own heart
    Would you be where
    you are today?

    So here I am,
    travelling all alone
    And on my back,
    I carry everything I own
    My shoes are worn,
    but I'll keep on
    I won't stop,
    till I find a new home

    The road is long,
    but I'll push on
    Not far to go,
    I must stay strong
    On the horizon,
    what's that I see?
    Could it be the homeland
    that I've always dreamed?

    Keep my eye on that
    guiding star
    Won't sit down till I
    get that far
    And when I get there,gonna
    get me a job
    And when I get there, gonna
    buy me a car

  • It's been a long time
    Since we last met,
    I'm truly sorry.
    It's been a long time —
    I still regret —
    Though good friends
    Are we.

    The days,
    They quickly pass on by,
    And stretch to weeks
    Before they've flown.
    I should have tried
    To make the time,
    'Cause I have known
    You were alone.

    I know a true friend
    Will always show
    When someone's weeping.
    I guess I've been
    Too scared to know
    How you've been keeping.

    So scared that
    I won't find the words
    To ease the pain or calm the storm.
    All I can do is sit nearby,
    And simply stay
    Until you're warm.

    It's been a long time
    Since we last met,
    But I am here now.
    It's been a long time —
    I still regret —
    Please let me help,
    Somehow.

    But still,
    If you can let me stay,
    We'll face the dark
    And find the dawn.
    No need for words —
    Just day by day —
    Until the grief
    Is finally gone.

  • I've got a secret,
    that no one's ever heard
    Promise to keep it,
    I dare not say a word
    There's someone special
    that I've been thinking of
    Can't wait to tell,
    'cause I think that I'm in love

    My heart is swept away
    But still I hesitate
    Will they feel the same?

    Please can you tell me,
    cause I haven't a clue?
    Feel so alive,
    at the same time I feel blue
    How do I know that
    this love is here to stay
    Not infatuation
    to quickly pass away?

    Still cannot express
    Still cannot confess
    Still can't get no rest

    I often wonder
    whenever I see you
    All that's unspoken,
    can you see right through?
    With every glance
    and when you return a smile
    Have you known
    my secret all the while?

    Please don't make me say
    I'd never be that brave
    I'd rather run away

    I've got to hide the truth
    Don't want to play the fool
    I've got to keep my cool

    Won't let myself stray
    Won't let my heart betray
    Will keep my secret safe

  • Friday night - full of potential
    Time to unwind - and have some fun it's so essential
    Feeling free - end of the work week
    Just you and me - no more responsibility

    Three whole days - all starting right now
    Time to play - turn up the music boogie down
    Lets make a plan - and make the best of it
    Pay check in hand - and I sure can't wait to spend it

    World so enticing - we can do anything we like

    Let's take a drive - visit the seaside
    Feel so alive - how Mother Nature can provide
    Let's climb a mountain - that's just a short drive
    One with a good view - but one that's not too high

    Sunday evening - we slowly unwind
    Time for chores - like the washin' and the dryin'
    Mow the lawn - and trim the flowers
    Feel withdrawn - there's just a few more dwindling hours

    It's the truth - not just a cliche
    When you have fun - the time so quickly slips away
    Oh what I'd give - just to press rewind
    Go back three days - if I could only turn back time

    When I sit in the office chair
    - The minutes, they feel like days
    Dream I'm out in the clean fresh air
    - Friday's so far away

  • You got to join in the rhythm
    It's time to dig in
    If you can't beat em
    Got to get with em

    Got to join in the rhythm

    How to rock it and to sock it to the beat

  • Written in collaboration with ChatGPT

    Went to the shop just to buy some tea
    Faced a machine starin' back at me
    "Scan your item, place it right"
    But it beeped and flashed a little red light

    I looked around, I waved my hand
    Asked for help — no one gave a damn
    I miss the days of a checkout smile
    Now I'm stuck here for a while

    Oh can you help me
    Ohhh, I'm lost in the digital age,
    Trapped like a bird in a cage.
    I just want a human voice,
    But the robot leaves me no choice!

    Doctor's gone, now there's just an app
    Tried to log in — password's zapped
    "Two-step sign-in," what's that mean?
    I just want some antihistamine

    AI's writing love songs now
    And telling jokes — I don't know how
    It knows my name, it knows my cat
    But can it make a proper chat?

    Oh can you help me
    Ohhh, I'm lost in the digital age,
    Trapped like a bird in a cage.
    I just want a human voice,
    But the robot leaves me no choice!

    I miss the good old fashioned days
    When down at the shop was a familiar face
    And all the children played outside
    Instead of staring at their phones all day and night

    Click the button, tap the screen,
    World's more tricky than it's ever been.
    I laugh, I sigh, I sing this song,
    Technology's moving, I can't keep along!

    Press one again - I'm lost in a loop
    Trapped in a call with a robot troop
    'Your call is important', yea, that's a lie
    I've been on hold since half past five

    Technology's fast - I'm moving slow
    Where did the friendly humans go?
    Click this, swipe that, I can't pretend
    Somebody help me press one again

    Oh can you help me
    Ohhh, I'm lost in the digital age,
    Trapped like a bird in a cage.
    I just want a human voice,

  • Love is a lesson
    That we all must learn.
    You could spend your whole life
    Chasing your heart's concerns,
    Wondering what love is,
    And why it ain't returned—
    Like it's something everyone has,
    But you haven't earned.

    Hearts can break,
    Feelings you can't shake.
    What you thought was love
    Was just a big mistake.
    Started off blind,
    But now you're wide awake,
    And all the while you thought
    It'd be a piece of cake.

    Love doesn't feel so cruel
    Or make you feel like a fool.
    It doesn't play a twisted game,
    With no one there to explain the rules.

    Love doesn't make you feel blue,
    All lonely and subdued,
    Or drill a hole inside your heart
    With a pain you can't undo.

    Love is patient,
    Love is kind.
    Love is always better
    when you take your time.
    But there are sometimes
    you might find
    That the one you're waiting for
    Has left you behind.

    Love doesn't brag,
    And love doesn't boast.
    It doesn't dangle promises
    With little hope.
    It won't leave you hanging
    Off a cliff without a rope—
    Gotta scrub that kind of love off
    With a bar of soap.

    Love doesn't draw you near,
    Then whisper in your ear,
    'This has been so fun,
    But now I need to disappear.'

    Love doesn't hold you tight,
    Then vanish in the night,
    Leaving you to wonder:
    Was it all a dream, or was it right?

    Love doesn't demand
    It's own way.
    Gotta be free to
    Have your own say.
    There's always gotta be
    A little give and take—
    Bend a little, 'cause if it's
    Brittle it'll break.

    Love doesn't get angry fast,
    Doesn't keep a tally of everything in the past,
    Turn bright sunshine to overcast,
    Warm and cozy to an arctic blast.

    Love doesn't play silly games,
    Then come crashing down in flames,
    And the very next day, say:
    'Baby can we try again?'

    Love doesn't mess with your brain—
    Should never feel like such a drain,
    Or feel like you've just been run over
    By a big freight train.

    A shimmer hums
    Behind my eyes
    It softly drums
    Then starts to rise

    The silence breaks
    With phantom sound
    My body wakes
    But won't calm down

    Pull of the glowing moon
    Calling me too soon
    Thoughts that burn and spin
    Can't shut out the din

    My tongue runs wild
    With half-formed schemes
    I flash and smile
    And chase old dreams

    Can't make a choice
    Each road looks gold
    I lose my voice
    Then shout too bold

    Pull of glowing the moon
    Calling me too soon
    Thoughts that burn and spin
    Can't shut out the din

    Pull of the glowing moon
    Still I rise too soon
    Wired, cracked, and clear
    Twelve times every year

  • Pray for rain, but the lake has run dry;
    The river has turned to stone.
    The sun beats down from a cloudless sky;
    The cattle are skin and bone.

    Then, in the dead of night,
    Men come pounding at the door,
    Threaten everyone's life
    With violence and war.

    No food to eat, no sanctuary,
    No choice but to move along,
    Gather what can be carried,
    And walk a thousand miles long.

    Children plead with tearful eyes:
    "How will we find our way,
    Over mountains steep and wide?
    How will we survive another day?"

    Slowly travel in search of a land,
    Masses yearning to breathe free,
    Aim for a torch in an outstretched hand,
    A shining beacon for all to see.

    If they can make their way,
    Through the difficult journey,
    And face the risks they'll have to take,
    They hear they'll be milk and honey.

    Through the desert barren and bare,
    All forlorn and uncared for,
    At last to arrive there—
    But no one will open that golden door.

    Fellow members of the family of man,
    Will you show compassion and love?
    Will you extend a merciful hand,
    By the glory of God above?

  • Sometimes I find
    I'm feeling so old
    Life's got me down,
    the world is so cold.
    But there's still something
    that breathes new life to me—
    A whole world to explore
    that you and I can see

    So let's step outside,
    let's run away.
    Let's go for a ride—
    what do you say?
    All our worries behind
    with every turn of the way,
    Quiets the mind
    til everything is okay.

    I go to the forest,
    look up at the trees,
    Imagine the birds
    have written a new song for me.
    They sing, 'give up the city,
    and come live here with us.'
    Oh how I'd love to—
    someday surely I must.

    When it is stormy,
    and the wild winds roar,
    We go to the seaside
    and watch the waves crash the shore.
    Nature is big,
    and we're so small—
    Enough to make you forget
    you had any worries at all.

  • Up with the birds
    In the early morning
    Rush into town
    While the rain is pouring down
    Woo-hoo

    My heart is racing
    By the time I get
    To Central Station
    There's only thirty seconds left
    Before our embarkation

    Buy my ticket
    And run some more
    Get to the train
    Just in time to climb aboard
    Woo-hoo

    I take my seat
    Rest my poor feet
    Panting to death
    Gotta catch my breath
    Slowly we churn
    Hey train driver
    Please can you
    Make this train go a little bit faster

    I'm on a mission
    If you care to know
    This expedition is
    Somewhere I've got to go
    Woo-hoo

    From Glasgow Central
    Down to the fair town of old Dumfries
    That's if the train is running smooth
    Oh won't you hurry please

    I've got a date
    And I can't be late
    Promised we'd meet at
    Quarter past eight a.m.
    Woo-hoo

    I check the time
    We're still not there
    Staring outside
    Through misty air
    Trees flying past
    Come on, old train
    Can't let this journey
    End up being all in vain

    I see the sign
    Now we're rolling in
    End of the line
    Is where my love begins
    Woo-hoo

    Pull to the platform
    And I get up quick
    To beat the crowd
    Dash through the station
    With my poor old heart
    Still thumping loud

    Oh what a beautiful
    Sight to see
    There you are
    Just like you'd say you'd be
    Woo-hoo

  • There
    Must be someplace
    We can go

    Where
    Peace and love
    And kindness flow

    Please
    Can somebody
    Show the way

    Feels
    Like we've gone
    So far astray

  • Well we're underneath the shade
    Of our coconut tree
    There's no one on the beach baby
    But you and me
    The big sun is low
    Down in the sky
    Casting yellow sparkles
    Dazzling in your eyes

    Now you just said
    That you're in love with me
    My heart fills with joy
    It's so hard to believe
    Forever in this paradise
    We'll live happily
    Please tell me the truth now baby
    Is this really real?'

    Then I woke up this morning
    Rubbed the sleep out of my eyes
    Looked at the clock
    And to my surprise
    I was late for work
    I slept the whole day through
    I was too busy dreaming
    Of a love like you

    You and I are walking
    Hand in hand
    Leaving two sets of footprints
    In the soft white sand
    You say this nice, cool breeze
    This fresh air that you breathe
    And having me by your side
    Is all you'll ever need

    In orange, red and purple
    The clouds glow bright
    As the sun sinks down
    It is now twilight
    Then you look into my eyes
    Draw me ever near
    Kiss me oh so tenderly
    Your love for me is clear

    Then I woke up this morning
    Rubbed the sleep out of my eyes
    Looked at the clock
    And to my surprise
    I was late for work
    I slept the whole day through
    I was too busy dreaming
    Of a love like you

    Now I must say
    That in reality
    Though I dream each night of you
    You never notice me
    I just smile at you shyly
    These words I can't express
    'Cause I know another woman
    Fills your heart with happiness

    This love that I dream of
    Is but a fantasy
    Which only comes to life
    In my blissful sleep
    There underneath the shade
    Of our coconut tree
    My dreams are the only place
    You're always sure to be

    Then I woke up this morning
    Rubbed the sleep out of my eyes
    Looked at the clock
    And to my surprise
    I was late for work
    I slept the whole day through
    I was too busy dreaming
    Of a love like you

  • - Written in collaboration with AI

    They handcuff the air, put a tax on the breath
    edit the script till the truth has no depth
    Silence in velvet, censorship dressed
    a muzzle so clean it can pass every test

    But words are insurgents, they leap from the cage
    graffiti on silence, they bleed on the page
    I rhyme with the ghosts that the archives erased
    their echoes ignite every phrase I've embraced

    You can't chain the hum of a pulse in the lung
    can't erase the taste on an ultraviolet tongue
    You can curb the street but the beat still runs
    every ban is a spark, every silence — drums

    Algorithms decide what the masses can see
    but the code can't decode what it means to be free
    They bury dissent in invisible files
    but the crowd still chants in forbidden styles

    Speech is a current, it floods underground
    slips past the fences, erupts with no sound
    Control is illusion, a leash made of air
    but the howl in the throat still fractures despair

    This is syntax in exile, a hymn in disguise
    a cipher encrypted in the whites of their eyes
    If you cancel the word, then the gesture will teach
    if you bury the book, then the bodies will preach

    You can't chain the hum of a pulse in the lung
    can't erase the taste on an ultraviolet tongue
    You can curb the street but the beat still runs
    every ban is a spark, every silence — drums

    So I rhyme with the hidden, compose with the banned
    plant seeds in the cracks they can't censor by hand
    The muzzle is myth, it dissolves when we speak
    for the silence they crave is the freedom we seek

    They redraw the borders where the vowels reside
    police every syllable that cuts too wide
    But language mutates in the shadows we keep
    a cipher encrypted in the mouths of the meek

    They can strike down the letter, but the spirit will bend
    turn whispers to rivers that roar without end
    Oppression is brittle, it fractures with time
    but each word forbidden returns redesigned

    You can't chain the hum of a pulse in the lung
    can't erase the taste on an ultraviolet tongue
    You can curb the street but the beat still runs
    every ban is a spark, every silence — drums

    I've seen verses smuggled in the spine of a hymn
    heard sermons in slang where the light grows dim
    The truth wears disguises, but the mask is thin
    and the pulse of the people keeps breaking in

    No censor can measure the breath of a crowd
    when silence combusts it erupts too loud
    Freedom's a storm you can't legislate
    every raindrop a voice that won't dissipate

    So I rhyme with resistance, insistent, alive
    a current electric the wires can't hive
    I speak in the key that the system can't mute
    plant verse in the cracks and it rises as fruit

    You can muzzle a body, but the spirit still sings
    carry thunder in stanzas, rebellion in rings
    Invisible lines only sharpen the speech
    for the curb is the lesson, the voice is the breach

    What they bury in silence we exhume in sound
    what they scatter in ashes grows roots in the ground
    Freedom is not granted — it bleeds, it is won
    and the echo outlives when the speaker is gone

  • Wake up each day,
    can't keep myself away
    Got to scroll the news,
    even though I get the blues
    A mad buffoon
    and tyrannical tycoon
    Watch it all transpire
    as the world catches on fire

    The whole world
    gone crazy
    And we'd all
    rather just forget about it
    Sit back and
    be lazy
    Instead of thinking
    what can we do about it

    Robot mobs
    are coming for our jobs
    Wider than before
    difference between
    the rich and poor
    In a flash
    everything's changing so fast
    Promise peace
    but never closer to a war

    The whole world
    gone crazy
    But we'd all
    rather just forget about it
    Sit back and
    be lazy
    Instead of thinking
    what can we do about it

    Worry all day -
    just hope and pray
    Tomorrow's news
    is no worse than today's
    Try counting sheep,
    but still can't get no sleep
    Just lie there awake
    and waiting for Doomsday

    Can we take control
    of events as they unfold
    Because a world of peace
    would be a beauty to behold
    Can we hold fast
    to the lessons of the past
    Before the next newscast is 'Armageddon's Come At Last'

    The whole world
    gone crazy
    And we'd all
    rather just forget about it
    Sit back and
    be lazy
    Instead of thinking
    what can we do about it

  • The first thing I noticed
    was your smile
    It lit up the town
    for a whole square mile
    Then when I smiled
    back at you
    It was love at first sight
    and somehow I knew

    I wanted to know your name
    I wanted to know if
    You felt the same as me

    It wasn't too long
    before our first kiss
    'Cause your's were the lips
    I couldn't resist
    Life was so fun
    when you were around
    Oh what a treasure
    I had found

    And when we had to part
    We promised to write
    All those love letters
    straight from the heart

    That was so many
    years ago
    I still feel the same,
    I want you to know
    When you smile at me
    when we wake up each day
    It's still love at first sight,
    now and always
