I wish that I could step into the morning light, the precious time
I wish that I would never speak my truth, it leads to my demise
I wish that I would never see beyond the lust, the soul has bleeding delights
I wish that time would hold still and stop mocking what I claim mine
No matter how long you wonder how it feels
On a Monday night sleep that stills your Sunday's please
No matter how long you wonder how it tastes
When you drink it from a cup
From a Friday nights waist
It always sounds bittersweet
It always sounds bittersweet
Baby

If I could see the stars in your eyes would you nourish my crown?
Would you flower my mind?
If I could trace your lips my only divine
Would the Universe cry?
Would you tender your shine?
The cracks of the time
Baby you unfold so bright
You turn me on
Your presence is a light
The cracks of the time
Water the Sunshine
Soothe the trouble waves
Bathe in purple grace
I can only trust time when you're around
When your nails dig in the ground
Love it when I hold you down
Moan out the poetry of your being
In the moon glow swaying under Froot Skies
Let me taste you all night
Take some time to feel you out when the silence fills the room
The smell of your essence burns my tongue
When we're dancing in full bloom
Whispers of the morning tunes
As their branches caress my wounds
Show me the truth
Cause the cracks of the time
Water the Sunshine
Soothe the trouble waves
Bathe in purple grace
I can only trust time when you're around
When your nails dig in the ground
Love it when I hold you down
Moan out the poetry of your being
In the moon glow swaying under Froot Skies
Let me taste you all night
Let me taste you all night

I should spend some time with myself tonight
I should take in my spirit like its candlelight
And breathe me in
Show my soul a little tenderness sometimes
Align my energy with the stormy seas
And write my story with the windy breeze
And find comfort within my own company
Yes, find comfort with my own company
Won't you travel my mind with me?
And tell me what you see
Won't you hold my hand?
Trace the outline of its shape
Won't you listen to myself?
I got a sense of recognition
And like the (Nai) palm would say:
"Home is in your body"
I'll soothe my mind's edges
With the Universe's essence
I'll caress my thoughts with patience
And comb my flower with maintenance
And paint the cracks of my figure
Acute the poetry of my sculpture
Won't you travel my mind with me?
And tell me what you see
Won't you hold my hand?
Trace the outline of its shape
Won't you listen to myself?
Won't you travel my mind with me?
And tell me what you see
Won't you hold my hand?
Trace the outline of its shape
Won't you listen to myself?

The Moon and U

Sometimes I feel the cold breeze of your stare
Sometimes I trace the whispers that lay there in the corners of your heart
I fold them down
Pocket their sounds
To carry them all around, all around me
And your voice drips water
In my rear view mirror
A soothing tea for a Sunday weather
But I don't think I could be what you want me to be
And I don't think that the Moon could ever outshine your bloom
I got a sense we could walk through the light
Hold you down at night
Caress your thighs
Got a picture of my reality
Carved out in my memory
I'll try and consider me
The colorless tapestry
You bring out the best in me
But the songs of the birds don't reach the sea
Cause I don't think I could be what you want me to be
But I don't think that the Moon could ever outshine your bloom
But if I'm being honest I wanna bask in your glory
I wanna swim in your story
And savor all there is to see
Cause I don't think that the Moon could ever outshine your bloom
I don't think it ever will

When there's thunder around
And the heart of nature drowned
If the soul of the Sun shed tears of pain undone
Could the rain be my love?
Could it live up above?
Cries are the purest sounds of dove
Golden Islander
When we make love
Don't you hear the Earth sing?
Don't you see the Moon shine?
Don't you feel the palm trees of the corners of our hearts grow?
I should never ever dare to let you go
The cold breeze of your silent curves
The honey drip of your aroma served
Clothed hand soothes the touch of affection
Losing connection is not a question
Need to be cautious when holding you
You should chant a note for me to grasp a hold of you
Lemme grasp a hold of you baby
Cause when we make love
You should hear the Earth sing
You should see the Moon shine
Don't you feel the palm trees of the corners of our hearts grow?
I should never ever dare to let you go
The mango sweetness sun shines your borders
Patterns don't trace all of your colors
Never ever dare to let you go

Teach Me a Lesson

Been looking inside my own sincere
Tracking the warmth of the Sun out here
Glowing thoughts
Roots my love to the crook of your neck
Bearing the fruits for the soil to collect
Grow tall baby
We sliding daily in two worlds you see
Swimming spirits in the tears of sea
So meet me down low cherie
When we both bathe in cocoa baby
The vibrant of your curves
The sound of the hurt
What's the difference between the living and the dead?
When black bodies ain't meant to be held
Do you even humanize our being?
Man we harvest all the treasures
Man I know you petty that we cherish all the spells
This we led so pardon my French
Le souffle du vent de mes ancêtres
Dans mon coeur c'est dur à paraître
Dans mon élant
Dans ma cadence
Chacun de mes pas on combât des décennies de disonnance
L'esprit Golden
J'te jure on est la luminescense
And so I hold you down beauty
Light some candles on our essence
So blow my mind baby
Teach me a lesson
The vibrant of your curves
The sound of the hurt
Teach me a lesson

My mama said don’t swallow the seas
But every time you might, might consider me
There’s a truth out there
Would you like to see?
Uncover your thoughts
Baby what’s out there?
And I would love to strip you nice and bare
Connect the dots through space and time
Collect your essence for the morning rises
Now you better look me in the eyes
And tell me what’s on your mind
Take in your source till I’m refined
And you groove with me in time
Focusing, tendering on every possibility
Chasing, wandering through parts of history
Lusting, drinking everything you offer me baby
Composing, branches burning
Brushing fingertips yearning
Don’t you wait it out
Before the curtain drops
You’ve burned our flame
Now you better look me in the eyes
And tell me what’s on your mind
Take in your source till I’m refined
And you groove with me in time

Continents ft.Kayiri

Time, it moves so slowly
Time, you don't seem to miss me
So take a look around the imagery
Listen to the voices pitch in harmony
And tell me what you see baby
When you look at me
A change in scenery?
Or sudden misery?
I wish you'd let me know
Before you get up and go
Pour some more love on the times we've shared
And the wilding tides wouldn't even dare I swear, I swear
You seize the colors in the sky
You turn the page once you cry
And I fly
And you try
And we sing through the night
And we could feel alright
If you'd let me know
Before you get up and go
There are many ways that I could reach for you
Like there are many ways that you could reach for me
But we were continents apart
Tell me we ain't never gonna be apart
