Verse
I once met a mother in the corner of my mind
Her aura was on fire, veins of geometric lines
She spoke to me so clearly in a foreign tongue
Took me by the hand and said there’s work that must be done
She said the problem with you people
Is you’ve sorted out your mind,
Between the things you love
And the things that you despise.
So I’ll melt the division
right before your eyes
To show you that these preconceived
Ideas are all lies
Chorus
And I can feel her still
As her spirit fills me
Oh she’s a mother
A mother of another kind
Pulsing through geometric lines
And she shows me rainbow seas in the skies
Through crystal eyes
Verse
She said you separate yourselves
By the boundaries of your limbs
I’m talking to your soul
But seperated by your skin
So I’ll melt your perception
Faster than the walls
To show you that the soul
That lives in you is within all
Verse
And you often take for granted
Your position on the ground
Fooling with your psyche
Messing with your sight and sound
So I’ll melt the foundation
From right beneath your feet
To show you all the beauty
In the things that are concrete
Chorus
And I can feel her still
As her spirit fills me
Oh she’s a mother
A mother of another kind
Pulsing through geometric lines
And she shows me rainbow seas in the skies
Through crystal eyes
Cause she’s a mother
A mother of another kind
Pulsing through geometric lines
And she shows me rainbow seas in the skies
Through crystal eyes

Verse
She has come to give away
All the love that you deserve.
Let your ego melt away
So your whole self can be with her.
You are filled with divinity,
A messiah of your own kind.
Pass your wisdom onto me
And then I will pass you mine
Chorus
But she is not the only one who speaks to me tonight,
I’ve heard whispers from the ones that are far from our sight.
Telling me everything I’ve done will one day all make sense,
In the sense the world and I are one and I am truly blessed.
verse 2
Some will wait all night and day
To feel the way the waves of her voice vibrate.
Listen to what she will say
Whispers “my son, my daughter
The world is full of serenity,
It’s in the ground and the sky.
Pass your wisdom onto me,
And then I will pass you mine.”
Chorus
But she is not the only one who speaks to me tonight,
I’ve heard whispers from the ones that are far from our sight.
Telling me everything I’ve done will one day all make sense,
In the sense the world and I are one and I am truly blessed.
Bridge
And you could say I’ve known her for a while now
Her virtues are ingrained in me, I’ve always known I reap what I sow
But putting a face to the feeling, makes the concept quite appealing
I am really starting to think I can become her somehow
Chorus
But she is not the only one who speaks to me tonight,
I’ve heard whispers from the ones that are far from our sight.
Telling me everything I’ve done will one day all make sense,
In the sense the world and I are one and I am truly blessed.

Soft Young Boy

verse
Distance makes the heart grow fonder,
a little boy is getting stronger,
lifting weights every day
while I am somewhere far away.
A pound as he wakes up each morn,
five pounds at school, his muscles torn.
I would carry all the weight
if we weren’t distanced by the states.
chorus
In my head there will
Always be the voice of a
Grown woman telling me
I made the wrong choice.
Of course,
Remorse comes to me
As a soft young boy
Who grew up while I couldn't see.
And he’s begging for me.
da da da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da da
verse 2
I am young but you are younger,
This is dangerous but you’re in real danger,
Once a sister now a stranger,
How strange to live without my brothers.
Was this all a big mistake?
It seems I give more than I take,
When all I want is just to wake
In a house that carries my namesake.
chorus
In my head there will
Always be the voice of a
Grown woman telling me
I made the wrong choice.
Of course,
Remorse comes to me
As a soft young boy
Who grew up while I couldn't see.
And he’s begging for me.
da da da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da da
verse 3/bridge
Oh what a world
To give me the choice
Between my own life
And your little voice.
Don’t know if I can
Take much longer,
Distance makes the
Heart grow fonder.
chorus
In my head there will
Always be the voice of a
Grown woman telling me
I made the wrong choice.
Of course,
Remorse comes to me
As a soft young boy
a soft young boy.
chorus
In my head there will
Always be the voice of a
Grown woman telling me
I made the wrong choice.
Of course,
Remorse comes to me
As a soft young boy
Who grew up while I couldn't see.
And he’s begging for me.

Can't Turn Off My Mind

Verse
Melinoe she is my queen
And each night I pray to thee,
Bowing down on battered knees
Please return the bliss to me.
She birthed a daughter, her namesake,
The one she loves to keep awake.
“Oh lovely little girl of mine
Don’t you think fear feels divine?”
Chorus
When it’s time to turn in oh
I can’t turn off my mind,
Keep fixating on
The paranoia that’s inside.
She whispers her screams,
Straight into my brain.
Have to sing myself to sleep
Just to forget I’ve gone insane.
Verse
It’s true each day I try to move
With first the sun and then the moon
But luna’s got a thing for me
She haunts my thoughts as I fall asleep
And with her white and yellow beams
She sends the devil to my dreams
To slip into and out of sight
To dance around the flames of night
Chorus
When it’s time to turn in oh
I can’t turn off my mind,
Keep fixating on
The paranoia that’s inside.
She presses her screams,
Straight into my brain.
Have to sing myself to sleep
Just to forget I’ve gone insane.
Verse
And Melinoe she is my queen
And each night I pray to thee
Bowing down on battered knees
Please return the bliss to me
She birthed a daughter, her namesake,
The one she loves to keep awake.
“Oh lovely little girl of mine
Don’t you think fear feels divine?”
Chorus
When it’s time to turn in
I can’t turn off my mind,
Keep fixating on
The paranoia that’s inside.
She whispers her screams,
Straight into my brain.
Have to sing myself to sleep
Just to forget I’ve gone insane.
Chorus
Cause when it’s time to turn in
I can’t turn off my mind,
Keep fixating on
The paranoia that’s inside.
She presses her screams,
Into my brain.
Sing myself to sleep
Just to forget I’ve gone insane.
