I’ve always been somewhat of a determined dreamer
…Naively positive, an idealistic leaner
I see a way that things could be; a different schema
I lay it all out on the line, a future, cleaner
With greater awareness, where people care less
About material gain…they’d rather fairness
Amongst all beings under this sky so blue
We co-create a new world, this time we follow through
To make a lasting change, cos more & more awake
Yes day by day awareness grows in seeing whats at stake
Identifying imbalances, causing all the problems
Correcting and challenging the status quo’s wrongness
See once many years ago I felt all alone
But now see tipping points galore that threaten the throne
Because there’s only so much crap that people swallow
Before they see the promises as lies that ring hollow
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
I know you’ve got it in your head the grass is greener
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
You live in all of us and in your heart you’re eager
So where to from here now that a spade’s a spade
And we all see there’s important choices to be made
Consult a moral compass and accept no less
Than freedom for all and redefining of progress
Cos one human being doesn’t have the answers
That blind following has rendered us as cancers
Malleable, deprived and with lowered standards
It’s crazy when existence aint the way we planned it
So what we do now is of great importance…
The path is long and there's no hope for shortness…
The answers are here, but old ways hold them back
But I’m quite aware that we can right the wrong track
What do we want…no more bullshit confusing me!
What do we need…no criminal acts with impunity!
What do we want…bodies boosted with immunity!
What do we need…a local living community!
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
I know you’ve got it in your head the grass is greener
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
You live inside us all and in your heart you’re eager
So let’s imagine a place where we’re all connected
No locks on doors, no need to feel protected
A place where we share with each and all
Where, yes, you may stumble…but never fall!
No place for competition with another
But of co-operation with each other
Where Community's a spirit, not an empty word
And your outcome is mirrored with the rest of the herd
We’re pieces to a puzzle of immeasurable worth
As puzzle pieces we're connected to the earth
And there's no place for irresponsible power
And we’re no longer enslaved to the final hour
We understand our place in this great cosmos
Consciousness feeds spirit instead of what was
No more faith in blind dogmas and such
And no hidden hand to ensure us in its clutch
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
I know you’ve got it in your head the grass is greener
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
You live inside us all and in your heart you’re eager

So I shine my light on this dim-lit path
Back and forth emotion…do I cry or laugh
Are there others out there or am I alone?
Gotta forge a way without being shown
Uncover hidden depths within
Dwell in the moment…push through the din
Of this swirling vortex of my mind
Cut twirling thoughts that try to bind
And It’s slow going, but we’re sewing
The seeds for the crops of a future glowing
…And now I see more with me
And that’s a damn good thing cos the slopes are slippery
Gotta network quickly
Overcome barriers, get rid of the sickly
Remnants, from an old age past
To an equal standing on stage at last
These floating lights
These other souls
Crystalline structure
Give birth…unfold
I don’t care who you are, where you came from
All have gifts, but some have the game wrong
Using skills for the wrong side
But this will change, like the moving tide
Cos self preservation is a noble aim
But not if actions exploit or maim
Encouraging a healthy questioning
Is the only type of quest I bring
Instead of rewards for cash made fast
Ever widening divides of class
Short-cuts & quick surprises
A baron future for a hoard of misers
Challenging times we face indeed
But soon there’ll be no space for greed
Let’s pull together and find the key!
Turn on these lights so we all can see!
These floating lights
These other souls
Crystalline structure
Give birth…unfold
We navigate, gravitate to knowing
Counterpoint to where force is flowing
Light a spark in a patch of dark
Float up high like a pulsing quark
With courage to stand in spite of evil
Strength to lead without being feeble
Many solutions wait to be cast
We all have knowledge to form a vast
Matrix of self determined people
In harmony…creating equal
Chances to effect some change
Support each other in this new age
To work with nature…not against it
Engage our problems…not fence sit
If we need to we’ll work outside the system
And create success…so they’ll have to listen
These floating lights
These other souls
Crystalline structure
Give birth…unfold

Welcome to my life or should I say…my curse
It’s not that bad, but my mind makes it worse
I feel alone & lost in my creative purpose
Like a touch of frost in a boiling furnace
A solo force…driven by my soul
Looking for applause to validate my role
As a tortured artist, I make…but flounder
It’s hard enough…being plagued by doubters
I need to seek balance on every dimension
I need to speak and challenge with intention
Cos I can’t sit back, think - “that’s that”
Gotta rise, spit fire; on a phat track
This confused being living in this physical
Needs to find a way to remain spiritual
Used to think I could do it by myself
But now realise…I must seek some help
Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah
I think about the doubter lodged in my head
I wanna rip it out wish it were dead
Cos past-life crap bubbles to the surface
Creates conflict, tells me I’m worthless
I try to shut it out…but I can’t
As much I want to forget…I shan’t
Cos, in truth…I gotta heal the internal
Create a clear channel to the force eternal
And there are those who made me feel abandoned
Who weren’t there to support, but left me stranded
Some left the musical path, unsure
I understand, but can’t shut that door
Sometimes I wanna quit it hurts too much
Am I going nowhere? Am I losing touch?
Though I feel kindred spirits come soon
I gotta march on and erase the gloom
Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah
There’s no rest for the weary eyed soldier
Though it’s a long and lonely road we’ve travelled miles and miles upon
You possess much more than they got on ya
And if you fall then dust yourself off keep on driving on that soul
I’ve tried to fill my life with another path
But when I walk away I wind up at the start
Something compels me, tells me “STAY”
It’s bigger than me, it won’t go away
I can’t stop even if I wanted to
My mission needs me to follow through
Not about end goals, but the process
To make spirit whole, it accepts no less
So battle weary, I walk lockstep
Eyes fixed and alert, seeking what’s next
To climb this mountain to higher self
Activate through music…cos it helps
Bridge gaps between the divine and I
To stay positive in my mind’s eye
I know i’m not alone in the way I feel
And it’s this sole fact that helps me deal
Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah
Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah

Acid Tears
03:13
|

I shed a tear for humans on a mountain range
Yet ponder plans for positive change
Valleys unfold - before my eyes
Natural beauty no civilised disguise
The purity moves me - my mind flies
Receiving knowledge that I find wise
Above the snow line…peace & silence
Away from life with a vile edge
I drink from the purest mountain streams
Energise with power beyond my dreams
No worries - or pressures here
As I gaze into waters crystal clear
Negative influence dissolves
Time stands still yet Earth revolves
The force of nature, free and strong
Insisting its here I belong
These acid tears, they’ve flowed for years
Corrode my soul, expose my fears
Reconnect on Gaia’s sphere
Accelerate what we hold dear
But I turn the corner, see a sickly river
Impacts of humanity make me shiver
No flow hydroelectric projects
Distortion - perverted concepts
Trucks spray dust obscuring views
Like tell-lie-vision’s mainstream news
Fake pictures painted, get acquainted
With dominant culture’s progress unabated
It rape’s - subjugates the feminine
Dominant males don’t remember when
Balance existed, before it shifted
Will it be restricted…with chaos lifted?
When soon the natural order is clear
We find peace - reducing fear
Experienced daily, in the way we
Treat one another in a system failing
These acid tears, they’ve flowed for years
Corrode my soul, expose my fears
Reconnect on Gaia’s sphere
Accelerate what we hold dear
When we live in harmony with the land
And don’t just take…but lend our hand
Start to conserve and not to pillage
Our environment becomes a connected village
Not hopeless fiends, we’ve got the means
Co-dependence, flowing streams
Of pooled resources, joining forces
Resilient, protected we form an orbit
A natural system - closed loop
With positive feedback we recoup
From old ways of hopeless strife
Become one with all, one with life
A place where trees blanket the slopes
Remind us of our lives of hopes
To flourish…from wherever planted
To nourish Earth not take it for granted
These acid tears, they’ve flowed for years
Corrode my soul, expose my fears
Reconnect on Gaia’s sphere
Accelerate what we hold dear

Cerebration
02:56
|

I fall out of love with life sometimes
And that’s when I seek but do not find
Wading deep in the recess of my mind
Penetrating the steepest of inclines
But substances let me access more
When they knock on the old perceptive door
I get a fleeting peek, but not for long
The door slams shut…I’m forced to move on
Find another way, with a calm approach
To sit in silence with a divine coach
Present in the now there’s no reproach
A pleasant moment to reach out and float
Suspending time untangling binds
Forging neural pathways, DNA unwinds
These new potentials…it’s consequential
Cos it’s cerebration, like this instrumental
I know you
You know I do
You can do
Just what you want to
To balance and heal is my main cause
Close wounds that separate me from source
Not ready to stop chemical assistance
But in time it can happen with persistence
Right now, it’s a welcome addition
To aid in my own spiritual attrition
And I know it’s not the best way
But when I press play, I lose stress hey
I wish this heightened state could stay
Break thought loops, no more groundhog day
No permanent answers to be found here
But a glimpse of a way out is made clear
So I take it for the gift that it is
Branch out implement, make sure I don’t miss
This opportunity for a shot at purity
To Internalise the lesson so fluidly
I know you
You know I do
You can do
Just what you want to
Cos I know that I can do it
Connect to my higher self and get to it
Anyone can expand their thought
Better to be free, than to stay caught
Cos I know drugs are the last resort
But that battles fought, so I change port
Reconnect to the omniscient force
Instead of pressing play…I should press pause
Look within, find answers there
Stop plumbing those old wells of despair
Mental stimulation, spiritual vibration
Higher planes of being pivotal realisation
Ooohhh…I may be onto something
The source of all, the only one thing
This Oneness, more complex than
Shallow chemical realms made by man
I know you
You know I do
You can do
Just what you want to

So here I am again drawn to the flux
Up, down, in, out…too much
Hard to stay equanimous
When life always kicks up dust
Yet I see that, try to be that
Change in awareness…for me thats
Hard…led by blind reaction
Can’t give my mind satisfaction
I won’t lay down for this friend of mine
Ego attachment in my mind
Perception - it’s a trap
Like an endless loop in fact
…When it dictates how I act
This conditionings like a pact
Made without my own cognition
It won’t let me stop and listen
I won’t lay down down down oh no I won’t
I won’t lay down down down again
I won’t lay down for you oh friend of mine
I won’t lay down for you and that’s the end
We’re dealing with that little tug at your sleeves from the ego
Some of us feel it more than others…I know I do
It can be the cause of great suffering
This is my healing release of that energy
I’m in control, I’m no longer your captive
Yet there’s more work to be done, just listen.
Depression is a deep prison
A place I often visit
Consciousness…i’m often with it
But perception gets me twisted
The sensation draws me down
My reaction keeps me bound
I should observe with detachment
Not pile it up like a catchment
Oh well guess I gotta learn the hard way
Keep repeating til I can’t play
This frustrating game no more
Take away my bat and ball
Change imposed, refrain from those
Actions that take a strained approach
When dealing with external sources
I remember these internal forces
I won’t lay down down down oh no I won’t
I won’t lay down down down again
I won’t lay down for you oh friend of mine
I won’t lay down for you and that’s the end
The end is near, never fear
The light at the end of the tunnels clear
I look inside, find peace of mind
Work out kinks that try to hide
I bring them - to the surface
See them as they are…so nervous
Accept the past aversions
With the future cravings worthless
Being rooted in the present
Is the best lifetime investment
So i’m mindful of sensation
Along with my respiration
These are clues to my salvation
And they help my elevation
Aware and balanced is the goal
Only this makes me whole
I won’t lay down down down oh no I won’t
I won’t lay down down down again
I won’t lay down for you oh friend of mine
I won’t lay down for you and that’s the end

Raw 4 Freedom
03:45

This is a venting of a voice dissenting
Some say nothing’s wrong, well shit I say there’s plenty
For one…concept of ownerships a twisted joke
It’s used to control…such a screen of smoke
Cos we’ve never ever had true democracy
When centralised bureaucrats dictate poverty
Saying “Stay off of that land, it’s not your property!
“You gotta pay to exist cos life’s not for free”
But fuck that…it’s slavery, taxes too!
Got no control over what they’re directed to
Information asymmetry makes facts hidden see
Leading us astray to react differently
Cos when we know the full story, assert our rights
There’s no way we’ll be in our current plight
Been this way for ages, now it’s getting flagrant
Non compliance & subversion, let’s make it blatant
So start the commotion
I’m sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a - take back - from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way they flex
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s an all out take back from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way that they flex
Lets draw attention to this insurrection
Lots of false starts, shut down in detention
I take my hat off to those who’ve paved the way
The struggle hasn’t stopped and so we slave away
Making connections, activists god bless them
Taking stands for injustice, no concessions…
Cosmic shifts, energies undone
Tell me when is the time for us to overcome
And be one…
Ok it’s happening, at the fringes of the system
Outside, it’s alright, a new ways with them
Living through the heart, some say it’s a given
But from where I see it we’re still enmeshed
Manipulated & controlled till out of breath
So I write my words hoping my voice is heard
And when I find my tribe i’ll be as free as a bird
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a - take back - from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way they flex
So start the commotion
I’m sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a…take back…
It’s the last time I make a song like this…because that which I resist persists…
Now that I’ve therapeutically released, I put my energy into the new story of peace
So many barriers to freedom, yo it’s hard to see them
Disinsentivized, but in the end we’ll beat them
Cos it’s all in the mind…and we’re no longer blind
Critical mass aint yet reached…but there’s still time
Cos love is universal…the one true thing
With love at our dispersal its what we bring
When we’re positive, that’s a gift
Essential ingredient of the paradigm shift
Our hearts beat deep, we’ll fix this rift
As long as we keep doing right we’ll uplift
Agorism…natural authority
We’re all sovereign people with autonomy
Self directed, self determined, we’re worth it
Breaking free from parasites and filthy vermin
I’m tired of preaching like a priest at a sermon
Just invoking change so god damn let’s birth it!
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s an all out take back from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way that they flex
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a…take back from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way that they flex

Emotional Tides
04:25

I know you see
Just what it is that you do to me
Put me through hell, but I bounce right back
I know you’re free
To give me just what you think I need
But you will see that i’ll stay on track
As I wake up…with the morning haze
I realign my mind to shake off the daze
Don’t wanna think about the bad shit, cos it plays
On emotions crazy, for days and days
…I’d rather float high and drift away
To survey my life and skip through the fray
Cos right now…I wanna celebrate life
Postpone my thoughts on the world’s strife
It’s crucial to take time out to breathe
Or else a buildup can make us seethe
…A shift in thought is just whats needed
Look into my eyes, you can see that I meant it
I’m unencumbered, I feel a hundred
Percent cos my bad thoughts days are numbered
And yes I know…they’ll be here again
But that’s cool…because I’ve made amends
I know you see
Just what it is that you do to me
Put me through hell, but I bounce right back
I know you’re free
To give me just what you think I need
But you will see that i’ll stay on track
The meaning of life is experience
All paths lead there…but there’s interference
We’re knocked off track but we bounce right back
With wisdom; we learn how best to act
We’re a multi-dimensional being
Having a human experience it seems
But if we break it down…spin it round and round
We can achieve all of our dreams
Life’s there to master…but to ascend faster
We gotta learn lessons to avoid disaster
Or else we’re served what we deserve
Over and over…til we have learned
Where this journey takes us is up to us
How strong it makes us, we can only trust
That the path laid out will serve us best
With what we need so we can pass the test
I know you see
Just what it is that you do to me
Put me through hell, but I bounce right back
I know you’re free
To give me just what you think I need
But you will see that i’ll stay on track

So here we are gather round
Cos spells abound within this sound
With open channels, peace is found
No hidden meanings…are you down?
Time has come for revelation
Therapeutic celebration
Give homage to this new vibration
Lets tune to this station
Transmitted from the source of all
The healing force has made it’s call
We’re conduits to heal and love
So manifest the purest stuff
Let’s pull it out from the ether
Then push it out through a speaker
Don’t tell me we can’t do neither
Cos I’ll make you a believer
So tired of false deceivers
Just hired to bolster the fever
Lets cut out the root so it won’t bare fruit
Cause the system to reboot
We’ve got the power to draw upon
Upload good vibes, log on
Easier said than done…I know
I’ve still gotta work on things to grow
Yet, hypocrites say “told you so”
Yet, deep within - these feelings flow
Upwelling surge to purge the scourge
A call to urge we’re on the verge
To break through…emerge
As forces swirl and converge
Holding ground we won’t back down
The time has come so pass it round!
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
So tell me, do you believe in magic?
A force beyond fantastic?
The earth, sun, moon, stars
A pulsing force like quasars
Your energy, your power
Negativity devourer
It’s from within this strength we’ve got
Drawn from this cosmic melting pot
Flowing vibes for all to catch
Chances for new plans to hatch
Looking forwards, never back
Onwards, upwards, changing tack
Joining all with hearts so warm
Switching from this current norm
Our mind, body, heart and soul
Uniting all, becoming whole
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
Peace, Love, Light, Magic
With a foundation cultivated
Along wavelengths pulsated
Through ley lines it propagates
We raise up love instead of hate
With Frequencies of peace and light
Incantations feeling right
Intuitive trust that resonates
Into it we thrust and elevate
The whole is greater than the parts
Come so far in fits and starts
Each day new to fix the past
Forge onwards, make it last
Laying dormant for so long
Earth wants us to join her song
To see as one we all belong
Fractured pieces form a bond
Discover different ways of being
Consider different ways of seeing
Contribute our many gifts
Thrust down roots to uplift
Breaking walls, divisions fall
We’re open now to one and all
Divide and conquer’s the old way
Vested interests hold less sway
We see everything’s connected
Golden rule becomes projected
In ways never seen before
Abundance thrives to the fore
Comprehension, overstanding
Compassion & equal standing
As citizens of the world we see
Theres unity in diversity!
