<verse 1 - Adikkal> eyes can't pierce through the rain through the fog the cloud and the grey 30 odd days of grey paved the way for me to stay told you I'd be back and so I came the *** ticks in slow motion the days fly by and make a mockery of time the older you get the less time you've got left but the faster it passes, seems with each breath a year has crept by walked out of the shadows & into the light now 'm living in the what is instead of in the what ifs I'm sitting in the same space with my game face dreaming of a better future in a new place but for now I count down the days until my release, until I'm set free <hook - Adikkal> I'm sending a salute to the skies I'm sending a salute to the skies and I can, I will, I do what I feel nobody's gonna take that away from me <verse 2 – Suavess> wake up to the morning breeze & keep my eyes shut man the sun is awfully bright i gotta beat the headache & try rise got a minute to complete the memories i write 'cause I'm in a place i 'aint ever seen before goin' to a place i 'aint ever been before it's sorta like something i saw in a dream before but its real i can feel my feet hit the floor now each day i'm a little more worn out gotta keep pace on a whirl wind tour keep facing the world with a little more thought got an eye to the sky and an ear to the wall, yep I got the whole *** world at my doorstep & i'm thinkin' of home man, thats bullshit I gotta not get nostalgic it’s like a drug & it’s clouding what lies in front, so eyes up <hook> <verse 3 – Indighost> I don't wanna sit by watching the world spin, Ima get lost in the whirlwind Lift off with a bit of resolve, Won't stop til I finish it off, I'm determined To keep working and searching For a little bit of somethin with purpose So I work shifts & I burn spliffs Trying to make a mark as a wordsmith Tryin to make this art I'm immersed in While I play no part of this circus Cos I'd rather shoot hoops than jump through em Set goals & pull myself up to em That's right ima set my sights, sky high for the rest of life On a quest to fly.. And express my mind as I ride through the best of times

<verse 1 - Moka Only> TBC <hook - Jordan Rakei> It's the age of hyperspace where the world is changing through it's own demise It's the age of hyperspace we don't know each other through innocent lies <verse 2 – Adikkal> Change, that's the only thing that don't change It's a constant evolution of the brain From the printing press, now the internet We got wifi and iphones to interject With that beep beep, now we're in deep, scrollin' thru that news feed before we sleep These interactions - eternally passive They give us the illusion we're socially active Even when we are we're still distracted, face to face book Man, we got all that backwards Out with friends, can't kick that habit Must Instagram or Tweet or Snapchat it Nobody ever wants to be seen alone, so they bury their head inside their phone to stay connected, but they missing out on the present, on the here and now <hook> <verse 3 – Adikkal> I'm still tryna figure out the scene, grappling with the irony of a connected society On one hand we're more connected than we ever been But on the other, it's all done through a screen People don't call no more they prefer to text In 140 characters or less I guess I'm contemplating the effects on us Will it develop until we see an exodus of people rejecting it? Searching for a simpler time When they used to sit alone and look at the sky Now they got a photograph it, put it online And get notified every time they get a like Sometimes I wanna disconnect us, just so we can be more connected Take time with those thoughts reflected Instead of being caught in distorted methods <hook>

<verse 1 – 2Deep> Ok, lets get em I met this lady and she was so fine Everything i ever wanted, she's a perfect dime. She’s the kind to compliment my grind so the moment that our eyes met i had to make her mine. ***~ I mean her body shape the number 8 She the type of girl that make your mind state shake. I’m losing control, I’m grabbing ahold but when I’m with her I’m bound to let go. Hypnotized the way that I’m feeling when we alone with her body revealing. Chillin’ we doing what we wanna do, marriott room with the harbour side view. Uh uh she makes life so good Holding me down when no one else would. She got me twisted and its never gonna change This is crazy but maybe adding moon up on her name. Ok! <hook – Danilo Ray> The way you walk, the way you speak The way you go about your week it’s got me hypnotized, girl <verse 2 – Adikkal> ***, that's all I'm thinking when she walks by a twinkle in her eye she flicks her hair to the side I can't believe my eyes so I decided to give it a try as I glided right up beside her and said "Hi" she looked a bit surprised, tried to tell me that she didn't have the time in other words she politely declined but listen baby I ain't like the other guys I kept on walkin with her, talkin until I had her laughing I could see that I was cracking the seal I let her know just how I happened to feel and proposed the possibility of grabbin a meal and I waited whilst she deliberated looking at her body had me thinking about her naked her eyes looked up at the sky then she looked back at me and she said “alright” <breakdown> <hook>

<verse 1 – Adikkal> I walk the tightrope, hoping that I don't fall and let it all go like I've done before so I focus and try to do the best I can but these temptations can really test a man and honestly, I give into them self loathing because I broke the continuum and that's the reason I feel guilty when I rest like I'll never progress unless I'm sitting at my desk and so i'm on my grind until the day that I die or at least till the moment that it's breaking my vibe I let it lapse at the time that it really matters a lifestyle summarised by snakes and ladders so part of me is simply saying that I've gotta chill cos it's an ongoing struggle and you've gotta build sometimes I shut it out but it's got me still I gotta deal with the consequence of what I feel <hook - Adikkal> I’m still fighting forces that are pulling me away Focus is a battle that I’m fighting every day I trade in my future for today I fall of course, but I’ll rise again <verse 2 – Adikkal> I wanna maintain peace when the seas are rough and exhale grief, not breathe it up let my ego step aside and let my fear subside so I know this is a battle every day that i'm fighting and I just wanna find balance of the forces inside they're pushing me and pulling me and I'm tryna reconcile that it's OK to go wild once in a while I can party when I want get fucked up if I please I can chill out if that's what I need but it's a balance that I need to achieve so I can be the man that I really want to be and live the lifestyle that I dream of set myself up with my resource and think about the days that I wasted away with a smile cos I know that I made it <hook>

<verse 1 – Nix> TBC <hook – Danilo Ray> Nothing but a demon Nothing but a soulless shadow Nothing but a demon Nothing but a world so cold <verse 2 – Adikkal> in the smoke, the shadow of his life the euphoria he'd find in the pipe he'd fight the need, a beast who desired to feed set free with a pipe and a G in the smoke, the figures of friends who sat and watch him descend into the shell that he became in the end a trail of lies and many tears in the eyes they stood by his side and watched him decline he'd pushed friends away and was likely to slip it's hard to shake hands with the pipe in your grip and that's part of the reason I put the mic in my fist cos I don't wanna see him ruin his whole life with this *** and I know that we ain't perfect but I'm seeing you slipping away so i'ma break the fucking pipe and get in the way and I'm hoping that you're hearing what I've got to say as we watch the smoke blow away <hook – Danilo Ray> <outro – Danilo Ray> Nothing but a demon Nothing but a soulless shadow Nothing but a feeling Nothing but a world so shallow

<verse 1 – Adikkal> I'm seeing faces in reflections, hearing voices in the breeze reminders of my bad decisions rustle in the leaves my body aint a temple, it's an hourly motel each stain upon the carpet is a memory of hell inside i'm a sinner, on the outside i'm a saint they're breaking through my armour but I'm touching up the paint the world is spinning quickly, i'm just tryna find my place looking in the mirror I've got lines upon my face smoke inside my lungs again and lines upon my plate my head up in the clouds and it's clouding up my space manipulate my memories and push me out of phase I'm running out of patience with the mirrors in the maze waiting for the moment that my sins will wash away but the voices in the breeze are telling me “not today” <hook – Adikkal> Today I walk alone The places that I roam I go to on my own On my own <verse 2 – Adikkal> and so I'm over stressing, and I know it's depressing but there's no point in obsessing over the questions I've turned over every stone that I could now I'm done I've turned over a new leaf but got lost in the sun the warmth has got me stunned I no longer wanna run and in that moment i'm calm but in a moment it's gone, and so a moment of peace reveals more than I could speak how can I turn a moment into a week, how can I keep momentum one step ahead of defeat how can I practice what i preach when I'm lacking belief? still oscillating between reality and a dream wondering if I'ma find an equilibrium or if I'm lingering in this position waiting for a signal to complete my mission and for the final piece to fit in I suppose I've frozen more than my prose and let myself get exposed but that's the way that it goes <hook>

<verse 1 – Adikkal> it's a movement and a method it's my self expression it's why I take the music and write and that's the way that I create and hopefully one day I make something that'll say something even if i'm paid nothing if you relate then you're in the same place on a mission to create in between washing dinner plates so where my writers and my dancers? taking circumstances in their own hands just to elevate the standards, the photographers and the filmmakers & the artists on the grind and they’re still hustling the hardest it’s that moment when your in the zone and for me it’s on stage when I’m rockin the microphone from spending nights alone honing your craft to that moment when you open your heart it's a freedom that helps me to see it's a opportunity to be free <hook – Kimberly Aviso> let if flow, hear what your heart wants to say let it show, shine your bright sun ray let it flow, throw your cares away let it flow, let if flow, let it flow <verse 2 – Adikkal> so when I let it flow free I feel my mind ease the words & concepts appear to me it's like i'm in the ether and connecting with the teacher telling me to be at peace inside and simply take a breather when I do, I feel the fear subside removing the illusion and I feel inspired weightless, floating into places creative in their nature with beauty in their faces and in the stillness I chill - fearless there's a real appeal when I hear this vibration like the bass shaking my spirit loose I relax and smile as my spirit move if you listen real close you can feel it too it's that true substance that's filling you and me, connecting the scenes, it's here there and in between <hook>

<verse 1 – Adikkal> I see her grappling and she lose grip on the sides and she falls and like to say that I understand but I don't I see the mood slip with the flick of a switch only I don't know where the switch is so I ask cos I really wanna know but the words can't pass by that lump in her throat then I see a black dog sit down by her side and I reach out pet it but it growls and it's eyes show pain, they show self hate they show me why no matter how I try I can't relate they show the frustration that he can't express no words no breath just hopeless distress so I step back and I move away slow pondering on what i've learned how little I know and although i've never stepped foot in her shoes I can see how they hurt how they blister and bruise <hook – Leehahn & Adikkal> I don’t know what more I can do to love you I never meant to hurt you I never meant to hurt you <verse 2 – Adikkal> so hard to watch but even harder to live and I know it aint my problem, but part of it is it's a weight, and a wave, a storm and a cave it's the force that compels you to reach for the blade or maybe it's the pain that you suffer inside the one you try hide when you're pullin the blinds but it's alright, you're not alone, no way, no how no matter how bad you feel there's someone around and I know there's days where you wanna fade away into the grave to escape the pain I know it feels like it's there to stay but this is something I was made to say I love you, even if I've never met you and I'm hoping this is something you connect to the dark days are a space you can get through cos you know that you always got someone to express to <hook> <bridge – Adikkal> in the love in the pain and the the feeling of the rain on ya the spirit I awake in ya soul we are one we are whole are made from the same energy creating us we will traipse through the stage with the weight of the chains, though the weight is a pain, it's made so we raise with it

<verse 1 – Adikkal> to blind us from the virus that has worked it's way inside us so long as we buy what we're told to buy everything will be alright provided that we follow the script we'll happily ride on the sinking ship still feeling the whip and the clip mentality that's got us in the grip the manipulation is so sophisticated that we've become complacent hypnotised by entertainment we peer through the lens at the lives of the rich and the famous - why? reality TV actors manufactured into a package opium for the masses to ensure we're all distracted insecure and fractured as we chase after the status it's a war on our thoughts and they've brought this horse by force to the water, right to the brink but it's up the horse if the horse gon' drink or the horse gon' kick and they all gon' sink those who forget history will repeat it and thats just what they needed our memory has been defeated slipped away, swept up with the story of the day but forgotten tomorrow, what was I talking about anyway? <hook – Leehahn & Adikkal> I know you’ll see I’m sure you’ll see someday <verse 2 – Adikkal> someday, I hope that we got the focus to notice that time elapsed aint necessarily progress so tell me happens to the history that's never written to the victors go the spoils and the truth is their decision and the rest? it's best to say that it's swept away to yesterday met the fate of better days relegated to the extra page and maybe I may be getting carried away but it's safe to say we're unengaged stumbling through the maze our eyes are closed or they're glazed and unless it comes with a catchy phrase ain't no way I'll remember what you say heads spinning like helicopter blades our attention divided and conquered it's drawn and quartered, apportioned into the size of the profit we had a mind but forgot it in time we lost touch with the past the hand that leads us forward is the same that covers up the path that we've passed by and now we float in the stream no direction or rudder no sense of where we are or where we've been <hook> <verse 3 – Adikkal> when did entertainment take the place of education? when did journalism step aside for TV ratings? when did we become complacent bout the information? about the time we decided it's too complicated why do we never see a criticism of the system? when did opposition equate into terrorism? how can a bank CEO pocket 50million? when half the world are struggling just to make a living why do we never see the truth on our televisions? why are we apathetic followers with tunnel vision? why do I channel my frustration into lyricism? but never really feel like i'm making any difference why are our attention spans now shorter than ever why am I feeling like I'm living in V for Vendetta? what is the meaning of these massive inequalities i'm only saying it because someday I hope you'll see…

<verse 1 – Substantial> We are the sums of the choices that we form Imagine if I had of chose a gun over microphone Or decided to run and leave my wife alone Abandoning my daughter for fun on the night she born What if I didn’t get help when my sister was beaten Disregarding every yell while the hits were repeating Like top 40 on your FM dial What if I succumbed to fear... I was just a child *** was scary, imagine if my mom was a visionary Or if I took her advise to enlist in the military Or when my homie needed me, I didn’t get in that car son She’d be a loss one and I would be without a God son What if I didn’t have men, to teach me in my father’s absence ‘Cause a woman teaching me to be a man is backwards I guess we’re all the choices that we did or didn’t make Holding fragile dreams I’m just grateful that didn’t break <hook> <verse 2 – Adikkal> Sometimes I wonder how it mighta looked today if the dice rolled differently, the cards were played another away what would've happened if I took a left and not a right? I suppose I could've been a lawyer or a doctor right? and if I never took the opportunity to go to Germany then they'd have never heard of me so it occurred to me that the lines are kind of blurred between what you are and what you'd prefer to be our lives are just a partly played game of connect the dots that we keep playing until the day that it stops some go in circles whilst others make a masterpiece with a purpose and a sense of what there art could be but it's all art to me, even if it's hard to see there's beauty in madness it's a part of me but it's all art to me, even if it's hard to see there's beauty in madness it's a part of me <hook>
