I know today will be oxygen. Like CPR for a tired soul. We've both had our ups and downs but that's the past no more fear of what if we're movin on. [movin on.] Senses awaken, I can't ignore them fake vibes in my way. don't get me down It's Our world to make, through spiritual liberation. Bad energy burns itself out. We're movin on movin on.

Don't Fade 05:37
Your presence takes the pressure off me, nothing hidden between us. If more folks had this, the world would be a better place. No fear No fear. I know I won't forget this, even when it's gone. building a bond together, both of us are changed. Don't fade. Don't fade.

Mind open, as far as the eye can see. dwelling on what we don't know. Social static, erased by convenience no space for listening Is it A real imbalance, or an obsession with pain? We're all looking for healers, but don't want them to find us. Call me open minded, or call me a fool, I can't tell the difference. Take my knowledge, teach me some of yours, I'm looking for my place. I crave community, but like keeping to myself. The idea of getting along is nice, building emotional solidarity. spiritually intertwined on paper but what is the real goal if we want things and stability It's fun sharing meals, it's not fun sharing problems. We love humor, we hate why it exists. We Build a stable life, wondering why others can't do the same. Call me open minded, or call me a fool, I can't tell the difference. Take my knowledge, teach me some of yours, I'm looking for my place.

about

Listen
Don't just watch

The ear unveils your surroundings
You seek moments

Wait

It’s not the superlative you’re looking for

Patience
It finds you slowly

Listen to others
Listen to yourself
