Dream awake, make no mistake
Strive to be alive most everyday
You can listen stereo or monotone
Mega phone, mellow drone DJ with delay
Relay super surfer high stereo sound

Radio station super space nation fight the foe
This one's about to blow up
I'm 2 flus over the kookoo's nest and won't rest
Bless up with no vest with a shield to protect

Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Some piece of mind from the daily grind

Find lines to move guys rely on a vision
Filled with rhymes, the room is filled with villains and ghost
We toast and coast to the next host
Many boast of battles won and the day is fading fast

The work is passed through the self destruction
Why you wanna burn, why you wanna drown?
Why you wanna die by the highway?
The front lines intertwine

We'll bounce over beats and rock shows
So fast so slow never know where the day may go
Bounce and we bubble over hills and valleys

We go through the fields of green in between destinies
Or just get high, nah there's no need
No need to feed on the scraps of the enemy
Where's the bad guy on the inside one day I might try


2.So Hi So Lo

Lyricist:Matisyahu Miller;Ephraim Rosenstein;Aaron Dugan;David Kahne

When the time is right
I'll leave this place tonight
Just leave everything behind
It's time to face my life
We'll trail a path across that gap
Slap back through a crack in time
Is anyone on the other side
Seek and you might find

So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
got to go there

Why not give up buck up drop down why not lie down and never
wake up give in Give up and don't get up give in to the ground
who gives a
She is frozen in time behind the enemy lines in the night time
she stares down
The highway which way's the right way walking through this world
on a tight Rope of memory the door swings both ways in and out
in and outside so buckle Up
it's gonna be a bumpy ride no
Its gonna be a bumpy ride no

So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
got to go there

I am searchin for the shade of the tree
Heard about it from a tune in the breeze
They say exists on the side of the road
But which road nobody was told (so lo)
All i know is i must find a road that leads where nobody goes
(so lo)
Where i can roll down all the windows where the wind blows down
those fears And foes (so hi)
So let go of the steering wheel let go let go (so lo)
All i know is i must find a road that leads where nobody goes
Let go of the steering wheel let go let go

So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
So high so low I don't know where but we got to got to go there
got to go there


3.Two Child One Drop

The world is dyin' the world is cryin'
World goes blind while the boy is lying
The house is burnin the children mourning their father's death
While world it keeps turning

One more day of pain has passed
While he lies in the sand on his back
Lookin' through the cracks in the sky sunsets
And all drowns in twilight

The desert stretches on for one more day
The girl pleads to him don't go away
His lips they move but got nothing to say
Stares blankly threw her face
Recollection of his brothers as they played

The world is black the earth is cracked
A child with no arms lyin on his back
No where to go in the middle of this cold
In the middle of this earth spinnin out of control

Did I have moments that were worth living for
I took the gun they gave me through it down on the floor
They chopped off my arms threw me out of the door
I am a murderer

I'm runnin in the desert runnin into the the sun
Runnin out of blood and I'm goin' numb
I'm runnin and you're runnin
And we're runnin and we're runnin' on empty

I'm runnin in this maze till I reach the sea
My heart burns up inside of me
Burnt and charred from this desert heat
My heart burns up inside of me

And the pain with in is the pain outside
The desert right here is a reflection of my life
Just as brutal as I am the sun me and the desert we are one
I am a murderer

Only the dead souls know I'm alive
They want me to lie down by their side
These are the demons that passed through my life
That killed me over a thousand times

I don't run I don't flee I don't fight
I don't make fun but don't flex my might
I don't act dumb but don't shine my light
I sit down on the ground till the time is right

They seek my demise and rely
On my dark side to give into the night
All those desperate ghosts stuck souls trapped in black holes
Became wearwolves stolen souls wanna see me bleed

It's a new day a new way,
It's gone it's dooms day for those who hold on to old ways
Your grip is so strong you choke and you swallow
And leave the place torn
So tread lightly no need to fight me
No need to be right it's so frightening
Soul like dust and flash like lightning
I slip through your grip cause you hold so tightly
I didn't stop nah I'm just becoming
I'm not finished nah I'm just arriving
I'm not done don't know where I'm going
Not afraid not to know and keep growing
Once you know you're dead and not living
And that's the wisdom to know while your breathing


4.I Will Be Light

Lyricist:Matisyahu Miller;Ephraim Rosenstein;Trevor Hall;David Kahne
Writer(s):David KahneTrevor Hall

Sit back
And in these days
Remember my ways
Oh will i get out of my cage?
Yes i am a slave

Searching for some freedom
Searching for some freedom

So intend to sing them
Songs to spark, memories
What is a man with no history?
Where am i ?
Who am i ?
What is this place?,
We're just spinning in space

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light

Time will continue without you
So in the end
Its not about you
But,
What did you do?
Who do you love besides you
Beside you, many died in the name of vanity
Many die,in their mind's eye, for justice
We die for you
And still do
So i say to you
This is nothing new

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light

Its/In one tiny moment in time
For life to shine, to shine
Burn away the darkness

You've got one tiny moment in time
x7 For life to shine, to shine
To burn away the darkness

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light light light light
I will be light
I will be light light light light
