Pursuit of Lies 04:09
lyrics

When I bow to this feeling All those memories tumble down Laying out the beginning And all the choices I left behind It’s like a map full of treasures Along with dungeons and traps A labyrinth with no measures And million questions to ask Oh how I wish I could do it again Oh how I wish I could go back in time and space Oh how I wish I could try it again With all the sense and the wisdom I now possess When I look at these children With pure innocence in their eyes I wonder who’ll be the pilgrim To jump the ship in pursuit of lies So I can tell him a story About a boy just like him Who thought it was for the glory That he went out on a limb Oh how I wish I could do it again Oh how I wish I could go back in time and space Oh how I wish I could try it again With all the sense and wisdom I now possess

Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me how you see it now Tell me how you see Tell me how you see it now Tell me how you see it ‘Cause I can feel the tear down my eye My mouth is dry ‘cause you’re not the guy I dreamed and cried, I can’t believe (it)… what a lie You make me sweat, then you make me wet This craving I can’t let it go and you know You’ve got control of my rock’n’roll You promised that you’d catch me but I still fall Tell me how you see Tell me how you see it now Tell me how you see Tell me how you see it now I don’t want to know, I’m gonna let you go ‘Cause you fuck my mind from behind Come on hold me tight with all your might ‘Cause this will be the ride of your life You make me sweat, then you make me wet This craving I can’t let it go and you know You’ve got control of my rock’n’roll You promised that you’d catch me but I still fall Tell me how you see Tell me how you see it now Tell me how you see Tell me how you see it now I need a fix of your special mix ‘Cause I’m flying to the beat of your heart And you’re the lie with the alibi Yeah, your special brand will tear us apart Oh, tell me how you see it ‘Cause I can feel the tear down my eye My mouth is dry ‘cause you’re not the guy I dreamed and cried, I can’t believe (it)… what a lie Tell me how you see Tell me, tell me Tell me how you see it now

Don’t Let Anyone 04:10
lyrics

Look in the mirror What do you see? Is this a ghost Or a soldier in defeat? Where have you been? What can you tell? Did you forget Who you are along the way? Are you awake? This game is rigged Are you alert Or are you sleeping as you speak It’s not a drill It’s fucking real Just look around And you’ll surely get the chills Don’t let anyone Tell you how it isn’t done Don’t let anyone Temper with your mind Don’t let anyone Tell you you’re alone Don’t let anyone Get you high and let you down Just listen close Weed out the noise And you’ll hear The hypocrisy appear One of them lies The other sighs When someone dies They don’t even bat an eye They ought to kneel And beg with ruth For it’s been long enough Sucking out your blood You ought to rise And realize You’re to redress With the power you possess Don’t let anyone Tell you how it isn’t done Don’t let anyone Temper with your mind Don’t let anyone Tell you you’re alone Don’t let anyone Get you high and let you down Don’t let anyone Tell you how it isn’t done Don’t let anyone Temper with your mind Don’t let anyone Tell you you’re alone Don’t let anyone

High Noon 04:44
lyrics

You’re not the man I used to know Why do you plod and where do you wanna go? Allow me in and let me find The soul you pawned for meagre nickels and dimes The end is near but have no fear Hold on to me and together we will steer All as one we’ll rise again And break free from this disdain It’s high noon and here you stand At a crossroads you can’t pretend There’s nothing you can amend It’s time to draw but your hand is numb There was a time you stood up high You feared nothing and no one dared try To double-cross or put you down Doubt or hesitance were nowhere to be found I pray you rise up once again Wake up the giant strength inside your veins And come with me my dear friend We may be beat but far from over yet It’s high noon and here you stand At a crossroads you can’t pretend There is nothing you can amend It’s time to draw but your hand is numb

Never Look Back 03:55
lyrics

What lies ahead I can’t decipher It’s like a pile of children’s trifle I turn around full of sentiment and angst The road behind’s a familiar blunder I do not need to think or ponder I must turn left or right, of this I’m sure Every meaning I take at heart Every lesson I take apart I always remember To never look back And when I see you crumble apart Your bitter tears shatter my heart So I keep repeating To never look back Our fate’s unknown, belongs to no one It’s like the wind, it bends and corners But it is our destiny that’s in our hands As we make do life expires And our days become a countdown Reminding us of all the things we left undone Every meaning I take at heart Every lesson I take apart I always remember To never look back And when I see you crumble apart Your bitter tears shatter my heart So I keep repeating To never look back

Rain on Me 03:15

Rain on me I'm drying out, oh can't you see? Water me Before I wilt and go to seed Come on rain on me Just pour it all at once Come on rain on me Strike like thunder over me In the sand No shade to shelter me Have no plan I'm waiting for you desperately Come on rain on me Just pour it all at once Come on rain on me Strike like thunder over me Come on rain on me I'm ready for all you've got Come help me be All that I have ever dreamed of And now you're picking up the pieces As if I am shattered glass You turn your back and blow me kisses Like I'm from the past Rain on me I'm drying out, oh can't you see? Water me Before I wilt and go to seed Come on rain on me Come on rain on me Come on rain on me

A Different Game 03:09
lyrics

Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game For I feel the rules have really changed Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game ‘Cause I feel the rules have truly changed I used to enjoy looking for clues Finding the meaning and piecing the news It was like a riddle In the middle of nowhere I fancied the talks that kept us at night Summing the stars flickering bright Dreaming and yearning For what could be out there Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game For I feel the rules have really changed Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game ‘Cause I feel the rules have truly changed I don’t believe I need to sustain Playing along to have me remain A tool or a symbol Or some sort of foul ball Just deal me out and let me abstain I don’t belong in your wicked game I’m merely a viewer Observing your downfall Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game For I feel the rules have really changed Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game ‘Cause I feel the rules have truly changed Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game For I feel the rules have really changed Say, is this a different game? Must be a different game ‘Cause I feel the rules have truly changed

Once in a Lifetime 03:38
lyrics

Once in a lifetime is every day Once in a lifetime got to find a way To follow the sublime for there’s no better time to grab onto your dreams before they die Once in a lifetime Every morning the sun will rise But every morning do you realize The sky is endless and your dreams are too The only limits are inside of you Every evening the sun will fall But any evening will you heed the call? Your choice is endless, what will you choose? Create a life in which your limits lose! Once in a lifetime is every day Once in a lifetime got to find a way To follow the sublime for there’s no better time to grab onto your dreams before they die Once in a lifetime is every day Once in a lifetime got to find a way To follow the sublime for there’s no better time to grab onto your dreams before they die Once in a lifetime Every morning the sun will rise But every morning do you realize The sky is endless and your dreams are too The only limits are inside of you Every evening the stars will rise And every ending is a compromise Love is endless and if it fades away it will return on a brighter day Once in a lifetime is every day Once in a lifetime got to find a way To follow the sublime for there’s no better time to grab onto your dreams before they die Once in a lifetime is every day Once in a lifetime got to find a way To follow the sublime for there’s no better time to grab onto your dreams before they die Once in a lifetime

Hanging With Creation 04:10

Hanging with Creation, mid-November night Smoking sinsemilla in a joint rolled tight Went to Pappagallo’s, didn’t see a fight Ragamuffin DJ made us feel alright Spinning sexy tunes that make me wanna move All those reggae beats just put me in the groove My feet are on a cloud but then a sudden tug… Back to Brian’s house to smoke another nug Sitting at a circle at the feet of creation He tells us of the stories of the Israelite nation He says, hey man, you’re a Simian You represent the feet of a loaded gun He tells me I’m an Asha, I represent the eye The Bible says that Hamites were the masters Until their vanity led them to disaster They built the tallest tower reaching to the sky The tower of Babel and they built it high Man became God in their own minds’ eye I think at that point God gently sighed Then kicked the tower over and let the rocks lie Man must control his own destiny A false belief says the Rastafari Man must put his trust in God’s hand Nature will provide it’s all part of the play Hanging with Creation, mid-November night Smoking sinsemilla in a joint rolled tight Went to Pappagallo’s, didn’t see a fight Ragamuffin DJ made us feel alright Spinning sexy tunes that make me wanna move All those reggae beats just put me in the groove My feet are on a cloud but then a sudden tug… Back to Brian’s house to smoke another nug To know Jah is to know love The love that shines down from the heaven’s above Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or Jew You are all Rasta if your love is true White man, Black man, Red man, Blue We are all Rasta if our love is true So, won’t you let the loving just envelop you Cause if your love is true then you’re Rasta too Hanging with Creation, mid-November night Smoking sinsemilla in a joint rolled tight Went to Pappagallo’s, didn’t see a fight Ragamuffin DJ made us feel alright Spinning sexy tunes that make me wanna move All those reggae beats just put me in the groove My feet are on a cloud but then a sudden tug… Back to Brian’s house to smoke another nug

If I Were You and You Were Me 04:04

You bring me high and hang me dry You make me slam the door and cry I wanna run away and hide Your spin is cold, your lips are wry I never felt so incomplete So empty handed and defeated I want to dive into your mind I am so furious and fragile So curious and agile I wanna shout, just let it out I can't pretend I'm blind and clueless Don't know why we always do this If I were you and you were me How different everything would be today If I were you and you were me I bet we’ll never get to be the same Remember you adoring me… How inspiring and obsessive How romantic and possessive We went from one to being done Why cannot we be satisfied? No, there's no reason to deny it You're everything I wanna be Oh yeah, my anger makes me weak I want to enter in your sleep If I were you and you were me How different everything would be today If I were you and you were me I bet we’ll never get to be the same If I were you and you were me How different everything would be today If I were you and you were me I bet we’ll never get to be the same

Anamnesis 04:21
lyrics

Day after day I keep on writing Some of it good, some of it scanty But it all comes through tested and true I got the t-shirt as proof Night after night I keep on dreaming Some of it brutal, some of it steamy Your voice in my ear, crystal and clear Calling to mind what you had said “Who am I without my memories? Where do I belong without my friends? What am I supposed to learn from this If there’s no one I can share it with today?” Seldom do I find a meaning But I care not if they see me Blunder or trip, stumble or slip Just making the grade is not all I seek “Who am I without my memories? Where do I belong without my friends? What am I supposed to learn from this If there’s no one I can share it with today?” “Who am I without my memories? Where do I belong without my friends? What am I supposed to learn from this If there’s no way I can share it in the end?”
