MOTHER'S BREATH


Life is filled with regrets at every turn we make that second guest
Sometimes it comes down to life or death even when you think you pasted the test
The condition of love is an action or an intent a moment you never to forget

When things are not at there best you just want to feel Mother's Breath
Like a baby just want to suckle that breast to be held in her arms is the best

Believe what you want to believe the uneducated fruit is sometimes sweet
Freedom is everyone right that is why some people fight, and some will just hide
Arrested for believing over the border is a better life, who is it that lied?

When outside all there is fear what you need to feel near is Mother's Breath
Never to old to be held in loving arms there your protected from all harm

A reflection the best parts love is never far from the heart
Living out parental dreams seeing things they will never see
Sometimes you have to stand stronger and be a bit stronger

A connection that spans from earth to mars that feel is never far, Mother's Breath
At night will you see the same stars home is where you are

BLIND LIE

How high can you get before you look down and fall
Why do you hide when you claim you have it all
The truth may hurt but when you say it, it will not burn

Blind lie
You got the shovel you know how deep you can go
Blind lie
You got the rope the more you get you will still not touch the floor

Why do you lie?
Because it makes your ego sweet as pie
Why do you lie?
Because you want to see someone die

Blind lie
What is in it for you something shiny and new
Blind lie
You want to impress everyone are you having fun

Everyone is counting your lying words
When called out on your lack of facts
In  your mind, you start to squirm
You play the victim as you follow this path

BROWN MAN

Lost in your own world never thinking you're the fool
Everyone loving you but are you really that cool

Brown man
Do you listen to what you say before it comes out of your brain
Brown man
Denoising the many generations of pain trying to make up for it the next day

Bought into a load of white tricks when did you make that switch
What is in it for you what is there for you to prove

Brown man
Clam what you say take your own blame
Brown man
There is more to life than your own fame

Pandering to the tower-man's ego
Is selling out your soul even when you've been told

Brown man
You forgot the ancestors paved a path for you
Brown man
Soon that path will be blocked to you

THE NAME IS GOD

Your name never said the same way
With a pure heart, the meaning will never change
Ancient beyond the hands of time
Search past your own mind the name you will find

The name is God
Is the same no matter how you say it
Peace and love is divine goodness

The name is Jehovah
No need to say it over and over
You are a soul, and he knows you

The name is Dios
Your need for him comes and goes
He is always there even when you don't think so

The name is Kami
In your heart, you can believe anything
Even when freedom isn't a real thing

The name is Theos
No one can tell you what you already know
Why give a man all the control

The name is Shén
If you can't believe, you can't forgive
Remembering everything you did

The name is Shiva
A point of light I am like you
Manmanabhave is the way I think of you

The name is Allah
Same as it was when you were born
The same forevermore

No one has a claim to the name.
When all over the world it is said in different ways

5 MINUTES

5 Minutes -
As 22 years of life flashes by
No time to celebrate the new life

Life is a field with broken promises
Is forgiveness one of them

5 Minutes -
As a mother wonders why
Why doesn't the tears bring back life

To live is everyone's right
No one should choose to die

5 Minutes -
No time for quick decisions
No choice but to blame the victim

Could we forgive this
Should we forgive this

5 Minutes - 
No time to plan for the next day
No time to plan to pass away

Is there words for healing 
What are the words we are needing

5 Minutes -
Alone in the dark
As the pain burns through the heart

OWE U

Thought of u today
Just like I did yesterday
Can't believe ur gone
Without one last song

Just wanted to know u
Feel everything u do
Wishing I could be as cool as u
Giving so much inspiration
I feel that I owe u

I feel the steel strings
Pearce my fingers tips
Felling the pain just to play like u
To my self, it is something I have to prove

Listen to your bootleg again today
The only way to pay is to learn to play
The callus is being as the skin is pealing
Never playing the same note
I know that I owe u


VICE

Always in a fight with my self
Because of the good or bad, I've felt
The thought goes through my head
Just want to taste it and feel it again

Vice, wrong or right
Always have to think twice
Temptation tells you is it nice
Just one more try
Now I am caught in the vice

Had control I could see my goal
What will it be when I am old
A seed will never grow
If you don't plant it in the soil

Vice, right or wrong
Fighting the thoughts all day long
Proving to my self I can be strong
Temptation gets in my head
Now I am caught in its vice

All the good work I have done
Gave it up for a moment of fun
Just to get back where I been I have to run
No more moments in the sun

Vice, wrong or right
Just want to live my life
Nothing wrong with being nice
Don't want to lose got keep my pride
Fighting my way out of this vice
