INNER LIFT
You can be anything
You can do anything
Dedicate yourself
Let the dream ignite you
And the pain drive your purpose
You find meaning where you look
One would say even create
You can be anything
You can do anything
Build confidence in you
Commit in your mind
And your determination
Will you get you anywhere
I’m an ordinary girl
Who’s crazy about life
Have a pure heart
Yearning for the deepest love
The pure emotion
In the vulnerable details
And the fascinating story
REBIRTH YOU
Used to walking with my head down
I’m tired of feeling this way
Thought I was doomed until I made a decision
A decision to remain true to me
This world won’t see it coming
Fading into places, blurring out all these faces, drowning out the noise
What they say concerns me no more
Inviting the love from within
I’ve walked through the flames
Until the ashes have fallen and the sunrise glows on the horizon
Hatching from my cocoon, the time’s right
Chaotic living, not fit for me
Shedding my skin, I renew my energy
I’m prepared to lose it all
Just to get to where i belong
I spread my wings
Emerge with beauty and grace
Emerge with beauty and grace
Heading toward that fresh start
I’ll be feeling weightless
Soaring through the wreckage
Gliding across the storm
Emerge with beauty and grace
Emerge with beauty and grace
Born from broken glass
I’ve killed the old me, don’t let my past define me
Picked the pieces up one by one
Here marks the rebirth of a new angel
Emerge with beauty and grace
Emerge with beauty and grace
TO THE STARS
Reaching higher and higher and higher
Reaching higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher, here I come
So close to the stars
I can almost grab them
Elevating to the clouds
Through time and space
Mind traveling across galaxies
I’d never stay in one place
My light shines brighter
When I heighten the experience
I’m here to see how high I go
Reaching higher and higher and higher
Reaching higher and higher and higher
I can’t be still, my will won’t allow it
Those who crossed paths with me
Wouldn’t recognize the girl they met
Yeah, you’ll catch me moving through time and space
Reaching higher and higher and higher
Reaching higher and higher and higher
I always knew I wouldn’t remain the same
Stuck in one moment of time
Here we will rise
Transcending through a lifetime
After all, you’ll never touch the stars if you don’t reach
This ascension is yours, take it
We stand for better than this
Reaching higher and higher and higher
Reaching higher and higher and higher
There’s never been a glass ceiling above me
Only my own mind’s imagined limiting
ON MY OWN
Searching around
For the love of another
I need the connection
I share vulnerabilities
My personal experience
Has shown people leave
Pushing past anxieties
I pick up the pieces
And carry on my own
Carry (On my own)
All on my own (on my own)
All on my own (on my own)
Yet I continue to trust
Even if it could hurt
I have a heart that must
Seek out you
Conversations on the surface
These temporary vices
Can’t quench my thirst
For a feeling of magnificent hues
Until the day comes
When I meet you
I pick up the pieces
And carry on my own
Carry (On my own)
All on my own (on my own)
All on my own (on my own)
AUTHOR
When you see it,
Don’t think you’d believe it
The rabbit hole feigned
A whole existence of Kings,
Rings, Things, with problems
We created a dismiss of a vision
So consumed with prevision
Bring me the Odin
For the people have honed in
On the premise of the story
Having faith one day it is seen
That we are the oracular of geniosity
With our own story to scripture
ART
I’ve been breaking the silence
Pour out this heaviness on my heart
Hear the alarm of the sirens
This world had once torn me apart
Yeah, I pick it up slowly
Visions of future muse my art
This passion pursues me
Where I can embody me wholly
Ohhhh there is no fear in souvenir
Of the troubles painted inside
Ohhhh deliver me wiser
The artist shares a vivid display
Say, what are we doing here
Ahh-ooh-ahh, I’m gonna take another route
No I can’t be a mainstreamer
Happily existing outside quotas
Witness to a constant ruse
The planet’s shortening fuse
Holding nature under a steamer
Frying our very essence of the core
Generations of tomorrow
No way out, no way out
Aaahh, aaaaaahhhhh, ahhhhahhhahaa
Breaking past barriers, the loss of biota
Of this rare terrestrial
ABSENT MENTALITY (MIND?)
You can label me rightie supremist or little blue snowflake
Am I a nazi or communist
You can define my weakness and strengths
If you need another shot, fire away
You think you know me as we’re full of assumptions
You think you own me (own me)
You’ll be sad to know I have no mentalities holding me down
(holding me down)
If you are struck by these messages
Then it’s high time to reflect on the personal
To force the fear of letting go
This is how you find the self
If you can’t handle it then you’ll remain the same
You think you know me as we’re full of assumptions
You think you own me (own me)
You’ll be sad to know I have no mentalities holding me down
(holding me down)
Having trouble with identity, well maybe that’s the trick
To relinquish all connotations of human constructions
You’d be surprised to know how much baggage your associations hide
You think you know me as we’re full of assumptions
You think you own me (own me)
You’ll be sad to know I have no mentalities holding me down
(holding me down)
The world wants your touch
The earth needs your reach
Seemingly minimize all that’s out of your control
When one has to recognize
They ain’t gotta be too much
Focus on the power
Don’t be afraid to engage your mind
Just a sign of the times
Up the scraper we will arise
As a goddamn force of nature
To be seen a freedom pleasure
Disheartened by the illusion
Misguided by the confusion
WEEPING WATERS
Underwater chemical bomb
A tidal wave of inertia
Risen from underground unknown
Swimming to love’s womb
In the heart of the sea
Seeping love (love is kind)
Seeping love (love is kind)
Break free from tradition
Ripping past hateful generations
Rippling action of sensing
Caught in whirlpools of apathy
Affecting humanities parched
To the brink of extinction
Hardly broken through
Kindness comes (it’ll come)
Kindness comes (it’ll come)
Kindness comes (it’ll come)
We the people cast-away
In the riptide of illusion
This is reality revolution
Keen on tsunamis of emotion
A motion so intricately flowing
Anonymous to its existence
Until our reflection matches
The deeply intertwined youth
Youth of tomorrow (on their way)
Youth of tomorrow (on their way)
Youth of tomorrow (on their way)
Tomorrow can no longer wake
Until we speak truth in the waves
Skin crawling of pathogenics
Can’t believe the experience
Don’t accept the disease
Echoed through underwater currents
From the real sinking of seas (you see it?)
ANYTHING, EVERYTHING / BE ALL
I can do anything I want to
I can do anything I wish to
I can be anything I wish to
I can play as anyone I’d like to
Never catch me slowing down
Can’t glimpse the switch
Anytime I feel to
Anytime I feel to
Whenever, wherever
Aren’t we all trying to portray
The who we want the world to approve
Is to be abused
As the ego, who they see and
What is real can never match up
We can be whoever, whenever
And feel whatever, whenever
Toss out the limitations
In this chanced existence
As how the time rolls
Does not determine the who
You’ve been searching for
You see time brings
All the unknowns of tomorrow
The future is at the forefront
Of my anxious mind
See I don’t need to be anything
Or I can be everything I want to be
Oh, maybe my development’s delayed
Am I borderline, traumatized, autistic, psychic, artistic
Or maybe just psychotic
See I don’t care anymore
I am freeeeeeee (freeeee)
I am free (freee)
So freeeee (free)
Don’t stop now
We will be free
On behalf of species
This is the plea of a nation
To explore all things imagination
WARP SPEED/GODSPEED
I’ll be in overdrive for the rest of my life
High on some override
We prevail through might and rife
Oh, can you hear me
Oh, can you hear me
Feelings and thoughts come and go as weather
Storms rage, disaster strikes, pieces rot
We know that we can make this better
Living are the seeds resting in earth’s embrace
Water, soil and light as nutrients
Distractions are pests and weeds
We are forces growing to abundance
Oh, can you feel me
Oh, will you find me
We discover the roots
We grasp and withstand
Once we find our routes
We share ascension in unison
Is it not a matter of time
When we crack the code of existence
Solving as one the meaning of human
Are we really free when we can’t get oxygen from the air that we breathe
Letting creativity flow
Throughout the mind of possibility
So I have been born a sinner
Can’t we all simply exist
Can’t we… be alive
Can’t we… be life
When will we… be freed
GAME OVER
this is a game of hide and seek
blend in, don't let them see you
run, don't let them catch you
into the trees i take refuge in
Come gather round now
I’m learning to embrace
Being shut off from the game
I no longer play
It’s apparent I can’t really fit in
The harder I swim (I swim, I swim)
The farther out I feel (I feel, I feel) turbulence?
So I cling to my floats
And enjoy the ride
See we live in a world
Which is out to get you
With each move you lose
Your tactics don’t seem to ever work
You swim you will sink
There is no search team
Coming to save you
I’m learning to embrace
Being shut off from the game
I no longer play
No longer play
No longer, no longer
If you feel your game is over
You pack up your bags
And go start anew
Yes I’m here to change
This narrative called life
No this contest was not designed
With your wellbeing in mind
You press one button and the
Whole server crashes on behalf
Of the victims caught up in the hell
Each one of us is a pawn in
feeling like I'm blind
can't see two steps in front of me
See there is no ground to stand on
Learning to embrace
Being shut off from the game
I no longer play
No longer play
No longer, no longer
Finding my new powers
I will code alternate graphics
This simulation is running out of time
Embracing the exile we call life
I no longer play
No longer play
No longer, no longer
Together we create
Any game we wish to slay
Find a fresh escape
For all to win
This simulation is a ticking time bomb
You can leave any day
For there is no free play
don't stop now, we're headed for the final round
I’m socially inappropriate
No I don’t act usually
My writing is the
Pain inside these walls
TRANSITION
It’s only a matter of time, a matter of time
This road I have traversed alone
Been an observer for too long
Through the darkness I can prevail
Paradise comes, freedom hail
My purpose, my salvation, my home
The path grew thick, weeded by disease
Done with hiding, I will make this my own
This earth needs healing, we need release
It’s only a matter of time, a matter of time
A little more patience, we have the keys
To unlock the potential this world offers
Guided by a dream, for we can succeed
Accept the mission, heed the proffer
This is my nature found at the roots
Digging my own grave until I found you
INFINITE/LOST SELF/STARDOM/I BURN/REBORN AGAIN
I just lost myself, again
Falling through the highs
Rising through the lows
We don’t have to cover
Paint our faces
Wearing all black
Because we’re insecure
No see I’ve walked
Through the fire
I’m ready to shine
All the way to the top
All the way, hey, hey
All the way, hey, hey
Life is about you
I just lost myself, again
Falling through the highs
Rising through the lows
What a beautiful contradiction
You could be the star
Of your own show
Watching through a
Cinematic lens, darling
I’m ready to shine
All the way to the top
All the way, hey, hey
All the way, hey, hey
Ooooh, I run my game
I’m ready to shine
All the way to the top
All the way, hey, hey
I carry all four elements
I only use fire when there's a bridge needs burning
To stops the troops from marching forward
Can't see where I'm going
Can't get my head wrapped around myself
Just because we don't think like you doesn't mean we're not
Stomp on my flowers cause I'm different now
Stifle my voice cause I'm powerfuuuuul
An sicko crawling, don't be such a ghoul
underdogs coming out on top
tides are turning for the underdogs
give me the space to spread my wings
I've outgrown my surroundings
been staying cozy in my nest
too bad it's disintegrating from under me
stretch these muscles out
I need room feeling claustrophobic
sleeping on myself for far too long
shedding these fluffy downs
to grow plumage as an array of colors
freedom tastes sweeter if all you've known is a cage
watch me flash my feathers like the Phoenix I've always been
Psycho FREEK
Parriah in my own right
Don't come 'round here acting like I'm the crazy one
It's everyone else who's crazy
I don't play the rules the same way
I was written for the poetry
Composed for the tune
Let your color shine through
What a time to be alive
And what a beautiful world
All the sadness and the dying
All the madness and the crying
We got starvation of the nations
Suffering, domination and obliteration
Corruption is rampant
The people are on a quest to repaint
Our reality of a whole nation
For earth is the seed
Springing all life
To action we will succeed
On a mission of rife to
The ones lying in disguise
To what is right
In a chaotic world we will fight
She is a dragon who breathes flames and exhales smoke
TREASURE PART 1
I am but a name
My legend has no ties
Representing so untouched
Insanity unreached
Used to be so uncertain
Now I’ve found the treasure in me
(Treasure in me)
(Treasure is in me)
All I need is in me
As it’s been all along
Dug it out and grabbed the key
Took my time to
Unlock the chest
Of eternal love
A lasting impression
I’d be lost in script if I had stayed
What I was
One I didn’t write
Now listen closely
We’re each in a trance, might as well
Be in one we don’t ever want to leave
Psychosis haunting the masses of minds
This is not our reality
Conquering the curses I set out for myself
Entrenched in the darkest pits of memories
Endless realities can occur
And we are the choosers of our time
Precedence over life is manipulating space
I’m reaping this treasure inside me
(Treasure in me)
(Treasure is in me)
Was I meant to lose my mind forever?
Forever a floater in time
I observe this space in line
Whispering revelations so unspoken you
Have no choice but to need
This trust you will heed
Be certain these treasures lie within you
TREASURE PART 2
Not only am I dreaming
But I’m a waymaker, frontierwoman,
A visionary and most keen on doing
In fact quite a realist stuck in
Mental space full of possibilities
Trust in knowing I am the creator
I wish to be
Words of Disney “If your heart is in
Your dream, no request is too extreme”
If I couldn’t dream there’d be no tomorrow
Everything around me is the reflection of me
The treasure is creating
The treasure inside of me
(Treasure is inside me)
(In me)
(Treasure is inside me)
(In us all)
Believing for the change I wish to foresee
Bleeding love pouring out of the mind
In hopes to speak to you
Tripping in other realities
I have chosen the path right before me
Here leaving the spaces out
Experiencing the feelings for timelessly
If I’m crazy then I know I can
Be the change I wish to see
A wish in a world so lost in the story that came to be
Searching for the conscious in other timelines
Of the unknown we can only reach so far
Our presence fleeting
If today was the last would we be proud?
Or could we say we were ever fulfilled
Let this entrance you
Let the light into you
You’ve built a gold unto you
Buried in the depths of the psyche
The treasure hides within
(The treasure is in me)
(Is in you)
(Is in us)
We are pirates who take what we want
Expect the finer parts of life
Experiencing the wealth
And the richness of what living can be
Now I’ve found the treasure inside
(Treasure inside of me)
(The treasure is in you)
(The treasure is in us)
This is your life
Own that shit
It’s already yours
THE SEARCH
Can anyone find me?
I’m lost in a time machine
Nobody can find me
These feelings leave me crippling
Can anyone feel me
Please love me long
The depths of passion
Melt into the flesh of
Two bodies, the minds of both souls
And the heart of one
Everywhere I turn I feel I’m stumbling
Searching for a cure I may never find
REUNION
Is there a way to find you
Save me from my own many plans
Far and wide I will travel
To feel union with you
Don't make me wait much longer
My ache for you still stands
The love we share lifts me higher
Our differences don't really matter
Far and wide I will travel
To feel union with you
Is there a way to find you
Save me from my own many plans
Embrace me and place your heart to mine
Don't pretend you don't see it too
Far and wide I will travel
To feel union with you
Don't make me wait much longer
My ache for you still stands
Our souls locked when time did stop
My mind never leaves the image of you
Far and wide I will travel
To feel union with you
To feel union with you
To feel... you
S E L F - L O V E, U N D E R S T A N D I N G & P O W E R
The artist's role is to connect
To explore maps and trace dots
I went too far out from the island
Too much for me to handle at the time
But I came back and learned many lessons in the process
Someone had to do it
I volunteered as
An innate curious explorer
*****Come rock me like a baby
I want to make you crazy boy
Don’t think you’ll ever leave me
I know that you’re the sacred type
*****I’m an ordinary girl
Who’s crazy about life
Have a pure heart
I yearn the deepest love
The pure emotion
In the vulnerable details
And the fascinating story
*****This is the only life you have to be
And I would never want much more
I don’t care if it’s all an illusion
If it’s all in my head, if it’s all fabricated by the mind
If it’s all
I’m about to go for a ride
They all existed for you
I didn’t see how all the signs
Led me straight to here
The grandest plan
I see you everywhere I go
Glimpses peer
The stars burn for you
Saturn yearns for you
*****I’M GONNA MAKE YOU LISTEN
I’M GONNA MAKE YOU ALL LISTEN
I’M GONNA SHINE MY LIGHT
FORCE MY ESSENCE THROUGH YOU
GONNA MAKE YOU FEEL ME, DO YOU?
HARNESS MY POWER
FEELING THAT MERGENCE
PEEL BACK THAT CURTAIN
LET THEM GAWK AND..
TELL MY STORY
*****Embers flashing
As the ashes burn away
Wind is soaring
Muffled roaring
Flickering and winding
There’s a knocking at the window
We can become the star
Which burns forever
Firebomb and..
Self implosion, keep me cracking
I’m bursting at the seams
Scattered vision
Starry-eyed infusion
Don’t need no supervision
Watch us unhinging
From the chained imprison
Rule invoking
You rile me up
*****A freak in my own home
Like a fish out of water
Flopping on land
I’m a she devil
Aggressive and benevolent
Passively magnificent
Grabbing my shovel
Been on the hunt
Digging it to the ground
Look what she’s found
This is me
Lift off the mask
See the beauty of the
Yeah, I’m throwing out the towel
Investigating, yes I’m on the prowl
Toss it in the trash
This ain’t no easy task
Removing my costume
Leave it at the door
You can leave me
No there’s no replacing me
And I don’t plan on stopping
Here I am
She is freeeee
*****The beauty under the skin
Shedding what’s hidden within
Let your layers shine through
Let those layers come peaking through
So we can get a glimpse of YOU
I see your words of affirmation
I know how you need reassurance
You wanted to be lifted up
Choose to look out
Close to the sun
Beyond eager horizons
Dream a dream with me
Before it’s gone
We can seed a city…
*****Let it leak
From a faucet
Let it drip
A slow snowfall
Swim in my divine
And you’ll taste what heaven’s like
Imagine living in the world you want to see
Envision the magic as it is already happening
Right before yours, unfolding to higher realities
Alienated from my godforsaken home
To be known as everything and become nothing
Fucking break me open
I’m going to remain as pure as the earth before humankind.
The empress, the disenchantress of your
Huntress, duchess, still not a princess
***Hindsight
I guess that’s why
they call it hindsight 2020
The past never defined us
Revolutionary war of limits or
***The Stars Sing for You
Lit by your shine
Delirious and high
***Don’t let the schemers inside
So they can stir your
I got a ruse for you
Muse
Amuse
Let me riddle you
***Got my eyes on, check
Walk in the darkness
Beaten by the damned
Broken by the madness
Come closer
She’s waiting for you
Ask for what you want
Get what you want
Take what you want
You’re a dangerous woman
They can’t ever hold you down
Such a dangerous girl
Living in a heinous world
You can see it in her eyes
The hunger for survival
***I’m different, I’m eccentric, a little bit hectic
Change the world with art
Enter the vessel of my human spirit
You’ll see inside a mind of the vision
Traverse along to taste how far
Otherworldy apprehension
With solutions of a heart
I want a world filled with laughter
One where everyone can live happily ever after
***It’s how you move, it’s how you groove
With all of your flaws, despite all the laws
IN MY FLOW
Look at her glow
Body flowing
In her eternalness
Can't be bothered
I work best when
alone and unbothered
Take no offense
It’s completely personal
I take full responsibility
I just know me best
I can feel it hovering
See it floating
Never really solo
Boredom
Never stressed,
Always blessed and at rest
In my mental space
Chilling with the best
She’s attaining her
Freedom
Don’t choose to
Believe in anyone
She’s attaining her
Freedom
Look at her glow
Body flowing
In her eternalness
THE VEIL
Am I dreaming, let me know
Tell me now, tell me now
And I
When will the veil be lifted
Soon, soon, soon
Thinking, wondering, pondering
My perception makes me question
The quiet one in the back row
Dripping since my conception
THE WINNER
You say I’m unremarkable
Rather, unforgettable
Irreplaceable
Irresistible
THE
Don’t you apologize
For doing/being as you are
In every sense of meaning
No matter the size to be
We’re just moving in higher speeds
On the quest to harmonize
To humanize the scene, oooohhh
I invite you to
Come make believe with me
No apology beats the
Beauty of theeeeeeeee
Planting our seeds
Our power to unionize
Talking in your skin
But do you feel its inhabiting
Rowing fields but is there any growing
Sleeping in reversed contusions
Walking but not standing
We say enough about it
We’ve heard this, seen this, been this
Knowing all the risks once placed on us
Learning from all the fools that came before us
Stretching from outdated intrusions
Fore we cannot grow in old clothes
The children of our past
Looking for believers
No apology beats the
Beauty of theeeeeeeeee
Embodying
Granted in the freedom
Our ancestors gifted us
Leaning over cliffs
I acknowledge this
The point is for playing
No mistake in what I’m saying
No apology beats the
Beauty of theeeeeeeeee
You’re the
One and Only ‘I’
The beauty that I’m seeing
The beauty that is
THE 2
Don’t you apologize
For chasing the
In every sense of meaning
I may be move in high speeds
Though I feel I’m moseying along
No matter the size to be
We are on the quest to harmonize
To humanize the scene
Come make believe with me
Planting the seeds
Our power to unionize
Talking in your skin
But do you feel it’s inhabitation
Rowing fields but is there any growing
No apology beats
The beauty of theeeeeeeee
Sleeping in reverse allusions
Walking but not actually standing
We say enough about it
Knowing all the rules before this
Learning from the fools before us
Stretching from outdated illusions
No apology beats
The beauty of theeeeeeeee
Radically spoken honesty
That’s what we live for, baby
THE 3
Take people on a journey
Traveling to magical cities
Of endless creativity
Saying farewell to my past
And hello to my childhood
A world born brand new
Emptying out fears I never seen there
Each and every day
Settling and blossoming
I invite you to come make believe with me
The beauty of the is waiting
Nothing beats theeeeeee
I entice you
ODDES
Bow down to the Oddes
Tell them what you need
Didn’t traverse this earth
Face your enemy
I’ve been through the dirt
I’ve been beaten and broken down
I’ve been stomped and trampled
Only the 'I' twists the handle
TRIP OF INFININCE
The force eats out the heart
Sucking away all the
Like a magnet holds
You find you can’t put it into words
FREEK WAVE
Don’t stand in our way
We’ll trample
A single drop could have you spinning
EXISTING TERRESTRIALS
We’re coming to take you away
Release you from this
As you travel farther away from lands
SNATCH IT
My manifesto
Obsessed a little much
Manifesting what I’m creating
Yellow, green, indigo
Shapes just move like
I’m not a part of a sovereign land
Priestess
Empress
Setting up the scene
This is my stage
Got all these faithers
Immobile to
Sitting back listening for faint whispers
Hypocritical pervy
Polluting more than
Sitting back, stuffing bellies
Your whole lives built on division
Can’t see your humanity in any jurisdiction
Think your savior really gives a fuck about religion
DOMINION
Any authority over any life
Is oppressive in nature
Idolizing ones drinking from chalice
Glorifying the ones spilling gasoline
To divide, motives of malice
Springing the matches
Copying aesthetic and
Left spinning in circles
What is your nature?
Where is your heart?
When can we thrive?
I’m not the same
Not here to please or
Buy into the schemes or
Or accept what seems well
Maybe I’m the one to blame
For the moment I ceased
Directions tilted and deeds
My soul’s been on lease
Rooted in sense and intellect
Weathering earth, cosmic heat
inferna due for rupture
Ignite the spark of Quasar
Far out I see, repainting scenes
Writing my style scripture
Til the end I am free, indeed
She dreamt of being of the star
So she became one
DOMINION 2
Any authority over any life
Is oppressive in nature
What is your nature?
Where is your heart?
When can we thrive?
I’m not the same
Not here to please
Buy into the scheme
