I Will Remind You
03:44
|

I WILL REMIND YOU
why does it so make me feel, so so
why do fields of green seem so vacant
like it was all just a painted scene
(i will remind you that your throat is dry)
oh like it was all
just a painted scene
(we’ll make it!)
oh I am a thief who will charm and starve your wealthiest gesture
your wealthiest gesture!
(thats a fact!)
chance, a game of chance
i am, i am , i am a thief, i am a thief
who will hold ransom (fallin on me)
the most precious hours of your day, to leave a note
to leave a note
(fallin on me)
Bring back to life
to bring back to life
to bring back to life
bring back to life - speak to me -
- speak to me my,
bring back to life - speak to me my! -
oh, your paper’s worth, your paper work,
your paper words
i will steal your dead plant
why do fields of green seem so vacant like it was all just a painted scene
back to life ( see me )
why do fields of green seem so vacant like it was all just a painted scene
( see me )
to bring it back to life
i am a thief
i am a thief (who will…)
and i am a thief
i will remind you!

YOUR RETURN
Fleeting, jasmine, you speaking, or hearing
saffron
i’m walking
i hope, i hope im, i hope I’m doing ok
still the cooling
still: the cooling
we thrill ourselves something to be
but for me for what? is it for what?
im an instinct at time - a place at heart
still the cooling
and i, and i, am under and continue, to resist, I’m hoping in my own way
we thrill ourselves, something to be and bring balance
for me, (your return) forward, constant, oh I’m the place haunted
I’m the place hearted
your return! your return! for to, sacred,
your return! Turn! Return! Turn! Return!
Walking i’m walking I’m walking
Hey, mama
saffron, (I’m walking I’m walking) chamomile, saffron
seed falling on my willow
I’m walking I’m walking
jasmine, made in my own all ways,
jasmine, some information about you,
saffron, dreams about...

I Fall
03:10
|

I FALL
centre of your vein
(you laugh you cry)
i hear your name
where whence you came
(i’m always gaining on my own)
climbing a ladder
(oh what is there)
to reach the colour of the sky
the chocolate chocolate
i am crazy
the night comes
the latte
the stars show
they tell me to go back
look down and the ladder disappears
the night comes, the stars show
they tell me to go back, look down, disappears
(then i look up)
i look up and the peak of the highest mountain
is under my feet
the highest mountain is under my feet
and a rainbow shows
(like a ghost - i fall - the stars)
i look down
i look down
i look down
i fall
climbing a ladder to reach the colour of the sky
can’t stop climbing
(full time beggar, you know, full time beggar)
i am crazy, the night comes, i am crazy
“yeah you live in buildings tall and silver”
they tell me to go back….
…the highest mountain is under my feet
“its a reflection on the buildings, shine a pink light”
they tell me to go back….
… i reach for it, i fall…

GONE AWAY
somebody dazed on my watch tonight
somebody dazed on my watch tonight
oh, somebody tried to run a number under my sight
but damn they look so good!
charm the pants right off your mama!
oh, gosh darn, got me good tonight, oh money!
I think i lost it all in one night, hey, that money, mahi (goddess/beloved) nahee day (don’t give) nahee day (please don't give)
you try to make it in this place
you were getting ahead a bit
look at you now!
I don’t know, but when i say my worries are so gone away
right now right now
so,
sure right
sure right
so gone away on me now
gone away on me now!
my worries gone away on me now!
and I Feel!
and I feel Oh Okay.
and I feel
my worries gone away on me now!

To Save Face

THE WHOLE TIME
you didn’t know
it was happening the whole time
no no, ever since the history was even written down
you didn’t know
it was happening the whole time
the spaces you occupy are now in danger
but they were all along
no you didn’t see when the poisoned apple presented itself, or why those seeds had to be burned by the mountain heaps.
that it wasn’t mob mentality
that if something was there in the corner
in a dark, white-walled room
that it had something to do
with the white picket fence around your tomb.
if you exist
then you’re tied to that ‘non-existent’
in fact you came from there
the daft air!
i swear!
you didn’t know it was happening!?
and the nara! the loudspeaker! the announcement!
the discovery of a truth willfully denied, again to save face!
is this feigned affection again?
do you come like a lover to enchant me again?
like i haven’t changed!
like history repeats itself and that is the end?
like physics ends there with no meta to expand?
no no, the circle extends, the eclipse begins
spiralling
you thought it would not change
that the truth was fake like a fairy tale
but the truth is a winding road
a road that isn’t a straight line
a road that is sharp and smooth turn and wind
so smooth that we need to remind
so smooth that we need to remind
the wiser informs
the sublime
it moves
it was happening the whole time
you didn’t know that the change coming
no no, you didn’t know that the change coming
was happening the whole time.

Are We Ready

ARE WE READY
Our Hope, far away
(she began to dance)
Our hope....
This is precious time, this is precious time
Our Hope
Not one more missing
Not one more jailed
don't leave
don't leave
not one more
our hope...
our freedom fighters in jail
as we stand on their shoulders
how do we take our stand?
when we associate! when we associate!
(Not one more murdered!)
laws are overturned
voices are heard
justice is actually served
not by the elite
but by the street*
(not one more jailed)
a street that nurtures weeds and blossoms and herbs through the concrete
a street mined by crows and people and pigeons and seedlings,
turns junk into treasure, the dark to glow
she’s fighting too
this is precious time
this is precious time
(not one more jailed) kept in shock and disassociated,
but we never forget
Arrest the inhumane!
not one more murdered
Arrest the inhumane!
not one more jailed
audit the files
arrest the inhumane
reconfigure and reconstitute the social contract
make it your life’s work
are we decolonizing our minds and bodies? our indigenous to our settler, our black to our white, our woman to our man, our fear to our hope, our kin to our foe
are we ready?
