Calm's Chaos

Pray to the Lord I find my way
Reach to the clouds in hopes they break
Blessings come down and rain on me
Happiness milds the disarray
Why chaos comes after the calm
Why chaos comes after the calm
Where do I go
Where do I run
Who I am now
What’ve I become
Wanting to seek the magic
But it’s a habit I cling
Onto the ground for safety
it’s danger for me
Look at what’s around me
Tell me who do I see
Are all of my surroundings a reflection of me
Cuz in my cool and and my calm
Chaos is hype in storm
And when I’m blue and feeling torn
Don’t feel their love no more
And I’m not true to myself if I take on their form
So who am I to be
Cuz I don’t know no more
Why chaos comes after the calm
Why chaos comes after the calm
Where do I go
Where do I run
Who I am now
What’ve I become

Weary Heart

Life can feel like we’re walking a tightrope
How the imbalanced supposed to feel
When they’re sight blurs
Fog in the way can’t see to the other side
Always a gamble
Trying to make it to the finish line
I feel it inside
I might just collapse
On borrowed time
But stuck in the past
Too much on my mind
It’s hard to relax
Can’t stop the worry
Its ruminating
Don’t feel I’m in tact
What’s one to do when you’re feeling restless
With an empty vessel
Running on loops and fumes
Can’t get the stress to settle
What is the path you choose
When you’ve traveled down several
Barricades and roadblocks
Left feeling unsuccessful
I don’t own any sleep
Just a whole lot of grief
Malaise on me for weeks
I think we’ve reached our peak
Troubles do come my way
But they aren’t mine to keep
Let down my heavy load
All be still at ease
Rest your weary heart
Your souls been working hard
Feet been running long days
Journeying so far
Come into your peace now
It’s okay to dream
Close your eyes
Be worry free
All be still at ease
The storm doesn’t come to destroy
It comes to pave a way
Too many barriers involved
It’s trying to clear a space
Ironic how in its eye lies the most calmest place
Even when disaster arise
You have to cling to faith (and hold on)
but I run
Isolated in my own shell
Left undone
Get lost in this mental cage
All for what
Let it all escalate
Get left stuck up in the whirlwind
The turbulence is a mere disturbance
As its purpose is to shake you for a moment
To check your pursuance
Sometimes the journey gets lonely
Lose track of all of the coordinates
Compass seems to be broken
Start to lose all your confidence
I get lost and reluctant
Searching for something
I already possess inside
Give up for nothing
Sometimes it’s the rest required
To see it through
Dont ever have to chase the dreams
They comes to you
Rest your weary heart
Your souls been working hard
Feet been running long days
Journeying so far
Come into your peace now
It’s okay to dream
Close your eyes
Be worry free
All be still at ease
I’ve been running from my inner shadows
Instead of embracing the monstrous side
In which my darkness resides
How am I to arrive
Where the pain does subside
If I continue to run
When God asks me to rest

Cloud 9
04:12

Take me to your crib
On cloud 9
Fill me up with bliss
On cloud 9
Don’t let us descend
On cloud 9
Here we could exist
Stuck in rotation
Sick of the constant loop
Been feeling lost and out of place
but really what is new?
Feel myself untether and loosen from things held by glue
Even pieces of me fall off and bid adieu
Been introduced to life as opposed to living in a dream
Don’t understand the hype existing here in the 3D
It’s like the only thing I’m reminded is that I’m still a seed
Waiting to be planted
Is this the planet that I plant my feet
I’ve been seeking the sun and the moon
but they aren’t looking for me
Hard to keep an internal light when darkness is lurking and prowling
Where is the love here?
Don’t think I could make it without it
Show me something different so that I could make it up out this
Up out this
Stuck in a stand still
Waiting to see what comes
Praying new days give
Better than what’s been done
Take me to your crib
On cloud 9
Fill me up with bliss
On cloud 9
Don’t let us descend
On cloud 9
Here we could exist
Stuck in rotation
Sick of the constant loop
Want to escape it
Can you rescue me from these haunted views
Trips to nirvana
Euphoric feelings
The Magical
Places and spaces
Be my oasis
Supernatural
Cuz I’ve been worried
I’m too far away from where I’m meant
If home is where the heart is
I’ve been too disoriented
And the very place that I begin
Is a means to an end
I cannot solo no more
Can I be housed where you live
And start the journey anew
With your love in the midst
Finally see myself in truth
No more of the myth
Cuz I see myself in you
When I stop trying to resist
In your care I am comfortable
Cloud 9 it is bliss
Stuck in a stand still
Waiting to see what comes
Praying new days give
Better than what’s been done
Take me to your crib
On cloud 9
Fill me up with bliss
On cloud 9
Don’t let us descend
On cloud 9
Here we could exist

Dream Seed

Faith isn’t always easy
It takes a special practice
I felt that peaceful magic
whisper to my heart at leaps end
I’ve traveled the desert boundless
I touched the edge of the earth
Experienced the stars and found that
Their shine is better up close
Well wouldn’t you know
The ocean talks to the moon
I’ve dance to the frequencies tune
Felt the weight of the tug and the pull
Had conversations with waves
Realize my reflection had changed
Once I let go of the weight
Made it easier to make my way through
To the eye of the storm
There were chills when I needed the warmth
Discomfort when I needed the hug
Somehow still opened my arms
And kept open my heart
I stood firm in the dark
Eventually found my lamp
Now I travel with light
Free solo the height of the climb
Take risk on every terrain
Don’t miss a beat when taking a step
That’s the power of keeping the faith
Learned to stop being resistant
Learned to just embrace
Relinquished control
And what do you know
Everything is okay
There’s a light deep inside
There’s a light deep inside
That shines bright
There’s a light deep inside
There’s a light deep inside
That shines bright
Dream big dream seed
Dream big dreams
Dream big dream seed
Dream big dreams
Had to expand beyond my reach
Stretching parts of me I left in a mold
Stopped trying to piece together pieces
That no longer go
Sometimes the vision will change and something better will form
Sometimes the leap you must take
Is worth releasing the hold
Well wouldn’t you know
There’s parts of you
That’s still waiting to grow
There’s peaks and valley’s
But the highs always outweigh the lows
Fear may accompany you
But that’s just the flow
I found the journeys best when you are still willing to go
The possibilities are infinite
Although you still must conquer
The binds that want to hold you in place
When you are meant to prosper
Sometimes the challenge you must face
Feels like a vicious monster
If you stand firm and keep on your way
It will never harm ya
Trust me I’ve been defeated
Lost my footing where the mountains steepest
Almost drowned in the oceans deepest
Crumbled, felt depleted
But we’re here for a reason
We are meant to be seeded
There’s a light deep inside
Open your eyes to see it
There’s a light deep inside
There’s a light deep inside
That shines bright
There’s a light deep inside
There’s a light deep inside
That shines bright
Dream big dream seed
Dream big dreams
Dream big dream seed
Dream big dreams

Cool in Your Wind
03:20

Uh uh
Yo
Sweet dreams are made of, you
No debating
You put the weight up on me heavy
Carry ya load ya baggage
Travel the globe to chase ya
Too good to never bae ya
Too smooth to call you playa
Smooth like Jazz on radio players
Picture a girl you’re made for
So she would never change ya
View the story in ya eyes
No cautionary or danger
Who I owe this pleasure
Let me get my purse and pay up
First let me catch my breath
Cuz you are the breath taker
Ooh
Get in your mood
Here in my groove, yeah
Planets must be align like it is 2492
Universal vibes got me losing my cool
How your starlight just shine
Like you the man from the moon
I see how you do
How you enter the room
How you keep your eyes up on me
As I’m watching you too
How you take all my fears
My inhibitions let loose
All to get a little closer to the likes of you
I wanna cool in your wind like
Ooh yeah
Ride on your wind like
Ooh yeah
All on my skin like
Ooh yeah
Catching your drift like
Ooh yeah
I wanna cool in your wind
Ride on your wind
All on my skin like
Catching your drift
Yeah yeah yeah
Impressions are left
You can see from my smile
Wonder what could come next
Just know I wanna be down
Mahogany fresh
I gotta thing for your type
Just might have to forget my morals
Just for the night
Might have to skip the talking
I ain’t even trying to think twice
My mind is placing us else where
We could be on if it’s right
You make a girl wanna sing some blues
Make a girl wanna break some rules
Make me wanna aah and ooh
I’m just being precise
But just to keep the flow nice
I got a penny for your thoughts
And a nickel for your divine
A quarter for your heart
What an immaculate design
God showing off His art
The way I feel is hard to describe
(Just wanna know who you are)
Hoping that there is no disguise
(No acting for the part)
These moments I just wanna rewind
(And play again from the start)
Had other plans might have to revise
(I don’t wanna depart)
Just wanna stare off into your eyes
(And let the fire burn)
I wanna cool in your wind like
Ooh yeah
Ride on your wind like
Ooh yeah
All on my skin like
Ooh yeah
Catching your drift like
Ooh yeah
I wanna cool in your wind
Ride on your wind
All on my skin like
Catching your drift
Yeah yeah yeah
Go and take it off
The armor you wear
Let me see your depths
Give me all of you bare
Sip from this passion
Get a taste from my well
Go and lay it all on me
Wanna ride on your wind
I said, go and take it off
The armor you wear
Let me see all of your depths
Give me all of you bare
Uh
Sip from this passion
Get a taste from my well
Go and lay it all on me
Wanna ride on your wind
Aye
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooh
Ride on your wind
All on my skin like
Catching your drift
Mmm

Music is my voice. It's the parts of me I have trouble expressing. It's the beautiful, raw and scary aspects of me. It's
sometimes all I have. But what I love most is how it connects me to so many others that may feel how I feel. Or those that can teach me so much more about the world and myself that I have yet to explore.
I hope you find some kind of peace here! Stay as long as you need. <3
