Running Cirlces
Pretty places few and far between
No more noises throw them out to sea
Surface water like a beauty queen
I will forgive you be what you want to be
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you
Crystal skyline never have been seen
Long time lovers falling into sleep
Flying so high an elusive dream
I will endure you create your own esteem
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you
All these places I have never seen
Hold your horses let me feel complete
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you
Lost to devotion
Running circles around you

This is Not My Ideal

This is not my Ideal
Got to free my soul - Leave it all behind
Want to take control - Never trust mankind
Got to free my soul - Kill this ugly mess
Take off from this place - Priority to digress
Something unusual - Taking place on this land
Further out could be worse - No chances taken unplanned
Something unusual - Missing life visible
Strange and unprecedent - This could be critical
On this pivotal day - only i can reside
When there’s only one way - from this immoral life
On this pivotal day - human life on the line
Help is not near to had - on my way in sublime
No use for me here - this is not my ideal
Complications are rife - nothing left to conceal
No use for me here - my time is now complete
Eyes hurt from the pain - of all the lies and deceit
Cluster in the stars - calling me to my place
Holding onto my faith - far from human race
Cluster in the stars - shining down on earth
Watching over the scars - preparing for rebirth
Revolution is near - feel it biding the time
Holding out to appear - forever knowing it’s prime
Revolution is near - publication agreed
Everyone in fear - no child left to plead

Have Some Faith

Have Some Faith
Something is telling me what I gotta do
Something is telling me how I’m going to get to you
And I know that it seems like a crazy aspiration
You gotta have some faith
You gotta have some faith
And I know that I’m in a troubled situation
You gotta have some faith
You gotta have some faith
Someone is guarding me from the things I do not like
Someone is guarding me from the thought of losing sight
And I know that it may be time for me to change
So I gotta have some faith
I got to have some faith
And I know I may be set in my ways but
I got to have some faith
I got to have some faith
Gotta have some faith baby
have some faith
You gotta have some faith baby
have some faith
You gotta have some faith baby
have some faith
Somehow it’s showing me what to do with love
Somehow it’s showing me what I’m really thinking of
And I know that it’s madness to have never let it show
I got to have some faith
I got to have some faith
And I know that it’s madness to have never even known
Now I got to have some faith
I got to have some faith
No one is giving me an easy way out
No one is giving me a ticket out of town
Cuz I know that it’s me that I have to focus on
So I gotta find my faith
I gotta find my faith
Cuz I know that it’s me that you can depend upon
Why can’t you find some faith
Why can’t you find some faith
Gotta have some faith baby
have some faith
You gotta have some faith baby
have some faith
You gotta have some faith baby
have some faith

(You Are Not) Selfless
Why
Why should I help you
You are not selfless
In what you do
(Can not get through)
Look
Look not at peace and bliss
I can’t ignore this
You must comply
(Is this good-bye)
Take
Taking is all you do
Living like animals
Is this who you are
(Show us the way)
Life
Life is a precious one
Worship the ground you’re on
And hope for a change
(How can we change)
Stolen spirits can’t retrieve them
Hopeless species help redeem them
Loves lost never choose to exist
Feeling’s gone and not returning
Ignorance has taken over
Land is broken; sea is frozen
Hearts are cold and angers risen
Serenity is dead and buried
Shadows keep on hanging over
No way out this dark enclosure
Fighting has to discontinue
Make amends and help each other
Judgements put aside forgiven
Arguments to cess and break up
Unconditionally trusted
Morals made from good relations

Heading Back
04:01
|

|
Traveled far blissful sights I saw
Got to get me back to my world
Patient minds will return to earth
Got to wait for revolution
Not the time for a global shift
Got to teach the others how to live
Troubled signs antique finds appear
Not for me to interfere at all
at all
Heading back into space
Not coming home today
Heading back into space
Not coming home today
Nurturing complex intellect
All unite as one and all exist
Opportune presents itself to us
Must not hesitate but re-adjust
Fill the day surface with control
So that we can all embrace our souls
Serpentine not supportive wall
Making sure our race will stand not fall
Not fall
Heading back into space
Not coming home today
Heading back into space
Not coming home today

Fluid World Building 101 With Shaman Bambu
by Dustin Wong

go to album
The Chicago wunderkind's debut album is half lo-fi hip-hop pianos and breakneck drumming, half polished pop songs full of orchestral arrangements and whimsical but melancholic melodies.
