3South & banana I just can't pronounce So I let that bounce On this propaganda On this propaganda I can't help my tang To trip on that noun Now I'm gonna hang On the tip of my song On The tip of my song I was blind but now I see The interstice of the arching tree Me free I'm not up to scratch it's been too many years So It's time to catch A flight to the stratosphere A flight to the stratosphere Let it be smile at me Let it go Dying slow dying slow dying slow I play grisly words As my holy outlet Send my thousand birds To the only true sunset To the only true sunset I was deaf But now I hear The atmosphere Inside my head

Bla Bla Bla 03:23
I lost myself flipping through thousand faces faces faces faces I lost myself floating into hyperspaces spaces spaces We all want to be aces Not knowing how to breath Breath don’t think breath I lost myself in the present tense for tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow We all long for calypso Not knowing how to dance Dance no resistance dance Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla We all cling and disagree Not knowing how to be Be don’t think be But It doesn’t matter I’m here now forever & ever I surrender forever & ever I surrender forever & ever I surrender

55 Million light years away Searching for what we can’t understand Into the void Infinite space Inside of us it burns it burns 55 Million light years away Looking far deep into the past Into the void Infinite time Inside of us it burns it burns

Rush Hour 02:51
It’s rush hour hour I turn it louder I’m feeling good Hanging in my hood I bounce in emptiness In the present sweetness Nothing is the same It’s rush hour hour I pick a color I’m feeling cool Swimming in my mood I bounce in place In the present happiness On my feet I sway In the present happiness Nothing is the same When I call your name Nothing is the same It’s rush hour hour I climb the tower I bounce in space In the present mindfulness All fall into grace In the present mindfulness Nothing is the same When I call your name Nothing is the same When I watch your flame Nothing is the same

Je t’ai fumé jamais de sang froid Caressé à l’envers à l’endroit Roulé la fine avec la forte Directement j'me téléporte Dans une autre époque Et j’me visionne en nature morte En regardant pour la première fois Je me pardonne une dernière fois Avant d’entrer avec le coeur De Pinar del Río à Trinidad C’était pas que de la rigolade cette cavalcade Même jusqu’à l’iles de la Jeunesse L’aile rongée par la vieillesse J’ai plongé dans l’éternité À la vue de cette beauté En regardant pour la dernière fois Je me pardonne une première fois Avant de sortir avec la peur J’ai oublié j’ai disjoncté Le corps branché électrifié Mon psyché azimuté Allègrement je la fredonne Jusqu’à ce qu'elle sonne Dans mon téléphone Et peut importe si je m’emporte En regardant pour la première fois Je me pardonne une dernière fois Avant d'entrer avec le coeur Avant de sortir avec la peur

J'ai tout chamboulé D'un coup de bâtons mêlés J'ai mis le pieds Dans la fourmilière Maintenant j'm retrouve parterre Le nez en l’air J'ai perdu le un je suis resté sur ma faim étiré en chemin vers la vérité La raison c'est bien que j'ai entendu parler Mon avocatier Il a souffert l'enfer D'avoir été abandonné Le nez en l’air abandonné Le cœur par terre abandonné J'ai perdu le fil J’me trouve dans le vide L'espoir fait rire Entre 2 planètes J' tiens plus les manettes Je me sent bien seule A construire ce puzzle De mille et une pièces Hôtel express je m'suis laissé dicté par mes pensées le zéro pointé en liberté c'est devenu une réalité maintenant j'm sent séparé du monde entier Abandonné le nez en l’air Abandonné le cœur par terre Abandonné du monde entier

I will not stop loving you I sent my heart in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night When I look at your eyes I’m tearing down the old I let it unfold, I let it unfold Down here it snows Down here it grows I will not stop loving you I bent the 2 in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night When I look at your light I’m melting down away I let it all stay, I let it all stay Down here it glows Down here it grows Deep inside of you I will not stop loving you I sent my heart in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night When I look at your eyes I’m tearing down the old I let it unfold, I let it unfold Down here it snows Down here it grows Deep inside of you Deep inside of me

The rooftop trees I look at them grow In the cracks of life They find there glow The rooftop trees I look at them blow In the April rain They breath the pain They breath the pain & I look at them fall The rooftop trees I look at them go They just don’t see They just don’t know The rooftop trees I look at them sleep They just don’t hear They just don’t cheer They just don’t cheer & I look at them fall Interrupted cycle The rooftop trees I look at them tall They just can’t grow old On stories untold On stories untold & I look at them fall Interrupted cycle On stories untold They are finally free They are finally free
