Universe 03:35
I like the sweat dripping down your back The world, it crumbles and falls while we get crazy Now we're humpin', bumpin' two somethings disgusting Call it ugly but we're spreading the love, spreading the love, yeah. The dust settles as two hearts slow down I can feel yours drumming against my soul, I trace your hips to its rhythm And your skin suits you well; Ivory blanket that holds me Glowing light like a candle on shadows of doubt. Wouldn't trade the world for what you're worth, you are my Universe Plant the seed of love within your Earth, you are my Universe I like the way you touch me, baby Two bodies slip and they slide, the room gets hazy Now I'm hittin', flippin' to different positions, got her barking after quittin' the mission, yeah Spreading the love, spreading the love, yeah Your eyes glisten in a moonlit room I can feel yours peering into my soul it glows right back through your window The silence suits you well, flood me with grace by your presence, You make sense of this puzzle that we're working out

As we usher in the summer's end, we shed our dead leaves and grow new beginnings. A steadfast metamorphosis; the colors reflecting the changes within me. And as the leaves begin to change, we feel each other do the same. As the summer starts to fade, we rid ourselves of our old ways. The caged beast denies the right to shed the skin that binds. Paving the path for destruction as lives are on the line. Help me in finding myself amidst this faker's reign. I am your humbled conscious saying "I'm not okay." And as the leaves begin to change, we feel each other do the same. As the summer starts to fade, we rid ourselves of our old ways. Look back on all the mistakes you've made and realize how much has changed. Don't lose hope when skies turn grey; Flowers bloom from gloom snow brings.

Days are dark and I'm the cause Set it up and watch me fall From the ground the stars spell a different word then before I fell. Things look up, lights my eye Glass half full; interpretations in my mind Feed the fire that you feel burn within your soul Replace machines with priorities, the highest you hold. Desire Lights the flame. A liar to the self lives a hell that one can change Hearts bleed for the past and speed for the future and let the present slip away it aches and it cries for desires we hide in fear that they'll all be in vain but to follow your bliss means taking a risk and diving into waters unknown To joy you'll blind if you shut off the mind And follow the path that you're told stay on the beaten path ,you walk the plank Dive right into what you'll make it Feed the fire that you feel, burn within your soul replace machines with priorities, the highest you hold

I lost my world but not the war I traded new memories for cheap thrills and cold whores i wake up with Doug unconscious on the floor see it as coping, knowing I'm downward sloping now I can't sleep Nightmares of New Skies swallowed by the mountains As all good things consume my dark I can hear the echoes of a new song in writing It beats through my heart And I've found a home in a room full of strangers now I'll never be alone I'm the aircraft you're my hangar It isn't a house that makes a home It's the love that's shown

I Am, because we are. Intimidation of the masses holds the cover over your eyes Provides the guise of fear. Pulling focus from the means to live for others Think for yourself and you just may disrupt the system It's obvious what they're doing here: Twisting words so that we turn on one another I see the signs the tree of life provides for every vine Why waste our days studying the difference between you and I? We're playing for the same team Aren't we striving towards the same dream? Let's compromise the ride by riding fear with love I am because we are Weave the lie spread it like a virus to the world Make us obey Take our minds and strap them to the ride Make believe it's all okay Guard us like dogs on a leash Barking at the freedom that's just out of reach Step off the ride and recognize that love is all you need. I am because we are The ride is a lie which many base their lives Take the wheel, enrich the mind and shed some light.
