STRAIGHT UP hungry stomach MAD growling / ON THE MOVE TO A PLACE THAT we NEVER BEEN~ Where the SUN AND the MMOOOONs JUST vibing AND WE sing WITH-OUR souls to the dead~ // The NEEDLE POINT massagES the vinyl High fidelity tells me at a live show // It’s getting close when the SUN GO DOWN/ Eye to eye WHEN THE LIGHTS GO LOW // CONNECTION, THEN begin countdown and Sudden energy, GO around COME around~~ /// {NOW} The passion IS / massive, to the sound~~ Heartbeat to the music, keep it pounding /// Stay on it, obliterate these conflicts/ Delete obsolete mentality and you’ll find it^ Solid rock bottom feeder in the lake, (PAUSE) No time to lose, you BOUND to find your way/ I believe that you’re never too lost I believe that you’ll find your way Even if it takes too long Everybody gonna find their way On a Crusade to save the hang man’s soul~~ You never lose if you in control Effortlessly beyond, we transcend Wordsmith skill, incredible, bruce banner Word coordinate, annihilator and traffiker Double decade set sail on my travels Yeah Moving ON; why you looking at me for? // The world is yours as long as you reach for it. // In the breeze where the cool wind blows Or In a dream that’ll never grow old bboy bgirl, just be you^^ Be free, believe, and be true~ See, I believe that you’re never too lost~ / And I believe that you’ll find your way~ /

I’m IN a beautiful world~ out of control (echo) Body IS crumbling down~ How do I let you go? I know I’ve always known I know I’ll always grow Someday is not too far~ Tomorrows just that / close Whether I’m all alone I know I’ve got to go No matter where I end, I always start right back at one~~ I’m moving on, on I’m moving forward Somehow to end it up here~ We only just HAD - to - GO The only way you gonna stop me is -- if you TAKE~ my / life The only thing you gotta knowww, IS - THAaaT tonight I’m IN a beautiful world~ out of control (echo) My MIND IS breaking down~ How do I let / you know?

Life’s short - daisy dukes Life’s beautiful - sun shine~ through~ Living life fast~ – ain’t the way / - Slow down -- embrace the day Life’s short, knife and a fork No silver spoon – 1 meal course, Beautiful how the universe - flow- Mind, body soul in control And we sing songs, just to capture The moment, yeah, life at its maximum Til we floating in the sky, in our castles Not growing is -- never an option Living life fast will give you blurred vision In a flash you’ll be back, who you really kidding? What chu doing with the time that you’re giving, kid~? Are you living life, or simply just living Another day - will go on by~ Another night, soon realize ~ Another day - you’ll never get back So tonight, let’s reach real high Live life - like it’s your last Live life like it’s your first day Live life with no regrets Let nothing get in your way~ Life’s short - daisy dukes Life’s beautiful - sun shine~ through~ Living life fast~ – ain’t the way / - Slow down -- embrace the day Life’s short, knife and a fork No silver spoon – 1 meal course, Beautiful how the universe - flow- Mind, body soul in control Not gonna lie, I’m a simple kind of guy who Still fly -- with broken wings~ Moving on, on Orion’s belt, I’m a long ways away from everything~ In this life I’m okay with fate But I’ll never let chance take away or shape This future, See I shoot for the stars The universe here - lays in the palm

Left the familiar to trek into the unknown Heard so many stories, had to leave the throne Home of the free, equal opportunity Soar high like THOSE who flew before me Leave the simple kingdom and start a new beginning Ready for smiling faces, open arms embrace us (Ready for smiling faces, open arms embrace us?) But they got us singing the blues Red, white carpet, celebrity me and you If had only we knew No sunrays, blocked off by the building tops Green grass too few, leave your native tongue tied Time the learn the new Yea, ill learn what you got to say You ain’t got to learn mine Ill learn your wrongs and rights Live life in disguise But every minute I’m here I hear the angels cry (every minute I’m here, I hear the angels cry) And they keep calling me to come home Now opportunity knocks Open up or we bust in the door Stop what you’re thinking Levitate OFF the floor Innocent no more, everyday life’s a struggle Gardening’s a chore, trade it in for a factory The good life seemed like it was just yesterday They all looking at me like I’m no human being I’m a laugh away from the pasture that seemed so green An ocean away it didn’t seem I had a place And now in a foreign land I seem to have no say Stay out of my site Living it by the knife The art, and cultures only way to survive Raggedy clothed Andy, standing out by the sideline Once was a king, no longer even a jester Uncle Sam’s welcome, turned to Uncle Fester’s A gesture of love, a gesture of pity Doesn’t describe this life, living inside this city So I -- sing to my brethren, take it in as a lesson You’ll get pushed, pulled, torn in every direction But stand strong, hold your head up and aim high (aim high) Its love that we carry, the reason we didn’t die It’s the hidden inner beauty, they’ll never take us alive And they keep calling me to come home

This is temporary, not a moment to lose Never FALL short, never take the easy street cruise Take the path less travelled, Bruises and scratches, but your thick skins adaptive Got to get this cuz we never had it, Got to do this so we have it It’s not the music or the words- it’s a habit Don’t confuse me with the average, I’m a champion Got wings on the souls of the shoes Got dreams of flying to the moon Obviously not so simple to do // Nothing come easy, but you’ll always get through X2 Got wings on the souls of the shoes Got dreams of flying to the moon Obviously not so simple to do // Nothing come easy, but you’ll always get through X2 I’m not waiting for the planets to align I’m a star in the sky with a flame in the eyes I’ve come far to get close, post - Traumatically alive - until I’m ghost, I’m full throttle with the force on this light speed course obstacles topple over when I’m out soaring, I’ve decided from the day this was ignited It’s more than a nights work, it’s my LIFE, YEAH. You see, you and you, him and her, check your shoes, Yea lift them up, see that. Your Soul. Those are wings, you got wings. We all got wings So use em, --- Fly high. Sky high. Fly high. Sky high. Fly high. Sky high.
