< SHAOLIN MONK MOTHERFUNK > Follow my love follow my love Drop into Drop into Drop into this or I’ll be swinging it solo The lines on your palm cry out to be cloaked with the steady compass of my own, my constellations burn to be strung to yours, our mighty dot to dot So drop into this So drop into this So drop into this or I’ll be swinging it solo So drop into this honey help me swim right through this so drop into this or I’ll be swinging it solo In this heat don’t doubt Eye on the hour White ochre shower Howling as it falls to find the form of dust once more As time fleets don’t tire your hands in mine as time fleets don’t tire your hands in mine So drop into this So drop into this So drop into this or I’ll be swinging it solo So drop into this honey help me swim right through this so drop into this or I’ll be swinging it solo

< LAPUTA > Graphite to paper a saga born hand drawn artisan dreamer graphite to paper a saga born and hand drawn artisan dreamer Miyazaki frontier a crystal clear picture of illumininom seeker this view from here is airborne Mystic catacomb creeper who whispers stone cold and as the mind follows deeper a relic a teacher A talisman in the hand Navigate to seek up above Laputa (miss you) Laputa (how I miss you) Laputa (how I miss your) Floating castles in the sky (miss you) Laputa Young one hear this be fearless I’ve been running running but a riot hunts for you you you you for you I can hear the timeless corridor of your meadows of your meadows I can hear the timeless corridor of your meadows of your meadows Laputa, Laputa, Laputa

< BORDERLINE WITH MY ATOMS > Melt into the other world Melt Melt He saw my eyes turn gold and reptile I dream tonight bare and baptised, bear and baptised,

Coyote bones flex the muscle of animal spirit old A bond so simple Borderline with my atoms borderline with my atoms borderline with my atoms borderline in time it alkalines After the coal has settled deep beneath ash resting quiet as silk the remedy tampers the willing A ripe submergence of the highest order no borders After the coal has settled deep beneath ash resting quiet as silk the remedy tampers the willing A ripe submergence of the highest order No borders Borderline with my atoms borderline with my atoms borderline with my atoms borderline with my atoms

< BREATHING UNDERWATER > The words in water Matter slowly unwinds as I leave feathers behind (for your love, for your lover to find) Warm hands wrapped in blue linen from Tuareg sands (for your love, for your lover to find) Wild rose Jericho sewn arid as stone (for your love, for your lover to find) Aorta, tattoo the artery with acute artistry (for your love, for your lover to find)

Breathing underwater breathing underwater I could breathe you underwater Pleasure melting a snowflake of lace down your face (for your love, for your lover to find) I could call your demons inside soak them in chamomile (for your love, for your lover to find) Breathing underwater breathing underwater I could breathe you underwater For your love, for your lover to find Breathing underwater I want you to breathe it in, The words in water

< SWAMP THING > Aftermath of the catch Reeling in the secrets of the swamp A motorcade harrowed and dapper underneath the surface founded Its talons curl they come to get you boy Howling like... A toothless grinned swamp thing is lurking, come get you Is lusting for your skin Its hunger is climbing A willow wisp, a rum soaked ritual Ravenous its cold stare is habitual Send a message with fire smouldering across the lily pad, saffron tears the sweetest you’ve ever had

A toothless grinned swamp thing is lurking come get you Come close dear I could hold you safe in the water where the pressure crush you like pestle and mortar Kiss your fever sleep forever To sleep forever Forever Forever...

seam is fraying Silk once rushed this thrust has rusted dry Slip your flux right past your fortress we all are born to die we all are born to die Lease this here now sweet piece of mind awake this light Lease this here now sweet peace of mind Always in flight

< PRINCE MINIKID > < FINGERPRINTS > Broken memories they taught me like a bird caged by scorched wings Puzzle pieces missing The grubby fingerprints that kissed the walls have vanished Like the wind without her whisperings and the colours wept from all the tapestries would be left nothing but sullen imagery The uncertainty of forgotten things The phoenix she dies with her wings burning she sinks from the sky to the earth returning but she will rise through ashes singing With new wisdom she flies to a new beginning

< JEKYLL > Dr. Jekyll that mister been buggin’ out my Hyde again If he come and rapping on my door I’m not gonna answer it I’ve been grieving old fashioned at the seed my

Diamond of a boy docile and wide-eyed and small in size stay warm tranquil a hymn of vermillion Prince minikid I feed you water and seed from my lips Sleeps through the day drunk on the fruit of symmetry sleep in my hair, a nest, your labyrinth Lapse of myth I found a babe to keep warm and safe I found a babe to keep warm and safe

< ATARI > Out over the edge you’ll find beads of laser fly Out over the edge of time Armada of mirrors A flint to strike down with weather and combat in full force eternal Atari sight Abrasive the static The grain of pixel equation erase speed

And forced heat In 2D Atari sight Out over the edge you’ll find beads of laser fly Out over the edge of time

< BY FIRE > Direct to the old Navajo by the fire Wish we were burn your design Suede and hawk feather entwine me to the time Arizona in due mind A bell that rings in the chest of story told meet you in this future bold Sage at key point lead me to his funeral a man lost young and old Regret less the knot yes I give you the end to hold And through darkness and earth wet I seek through the land to mould a woman that rests night and day, Sweat and tears unfold to undress the burdens that caress the blessed I’m told

< THE LUNG > Cool it out by Koolabah overrun from the mouth Stone A flare cold undercoat bare An apple over head

Swift courage shoot it down Fill the lung that loves the phosphorescent absorbent time spent on few and all of you I’ll offer myrrh and murder the preferred method of doubt that sways about heavy and unsound I offer this smoke from you Overrun from the mouth You The truth overrun from the mouth Stone A flare cold undercoat bare An apple over head Swift courage shoot it down Cool it out by Koolabah Quick Quick to Quick to loose Quick to loose your Quick to loose your furrowed brow Quick to loose your furrowed brow

< ONLY TIME ALL THE TIME > Only time all the time

< MOLASSES > Might not get Might not get any better You the born hunter relic with an armoured heart Colour of sulphur banished to a single arc

Porcelain smoulders and don’t forget your state-of-the-art buried deep in the soil selfless or daft It could be a compass rare and so bountiful it could be the opposing opinion It could be the point of traction bound to all It could be the point of letting it go Running with my eyes closed blinding the lens with focus running with my eyes closed finding omens in the woodwork icicle cold Braille mechanical and frail How do I tessellate to filter the rage You the born hunter relic with an armoured heart Colour of sulphur banished to a single arc Porcelain smoulders and don’t forget your state of the art Buried deep in the soil selfless or daft might not get any better It could be a compass rare and so bountiful it could be the opposing opinion It could be the point of traction bound to all It could be the point of letting it go

< BUILDING A LADDER > Free range of the mind maps the fire coasting the sidelines contact with an ease tarnish point of the supreme Is it the strength of your fearless over throwing your pain You’ll see new heights you’ll be reaching

Is it today that you will find your new release and in your wake ripples your sweet fate In the death of the grip of the mask that’s covering your simple love for the part of your soul so warm and vast and I can hear the hinges struggle to last rusting feel my feathers rush from the past Building a ladder of love to you and I hope that love you build one too and then we fly away Hand in hand we fly away Hand in hand
