You spoke your words but they met stronger fears
Communication's complex, but you know that they hear
When you say, いいえ いいえ (iie iie), нет нет (niet niet), 不 不 (boo-shi boo-shi), no
But they hear, いいよ いいよ (iio iio), نعم نعم (na-am na-am), 是的 是的 (shi-da shi-da), sure
It makes you question your role, when you're clear and concise
To see your words twisted up, or ignored, plain denied
So you say, Escúchame, استمع لي (ista mah lee), 聞く 聞く(kiku kiku), hear
But they get, пошел нахуй (pashol nahhoi), vai te foder, vaffanculo, go fuck yourself
Words can build and destroy but some building is destruction

You could push your hand straight through me if you wanted
To be a breeze so unique empty through and
Through loss of blood, loss of self, underwater
Bound tragedy becomes farce even when you drown
When you've been dead seven years and you don't know
how you can float like a dream falling from that
Web, not a man if you leave it's about control censoring
all your speech. Order takes its toll
I'd like to think I am pretty unique
I'd like to think I am unique
I'd like to think I am unique
I'd really like to think that I am unique

When I heard Jason sing I felt his words make a deep change in me
I saw my life in how I wanted it to be
I threw all caution to the wind and I gathered up my melodies
I weaved my words into a symphony, a light
But it's a lonely life, a traveling mendicant, no bride
But you keep that lantern lit, refuse to hide
And though the smallest chance, they may do more than just dance
Gently place in words to make them think
When I first heard Jake sing I found his melodies so comforting
I heard words that helped me realize I am free
But some creatures are immune with their deafness to a tune
Or maybe they're more than aloof, fey ancestry
But when your son requests that you grow a wizard's beard
And you realize you already cast spells
And that the light you share, the means to show you care
It's not a magic trick to show your love

Son (feat. Neva Dinova)

Son, your parents love you but sometimes two good people aren't too good for each other
And sometimes we change who. So if our paths diverge like myself and your mother
Well I can't let you forget, that I'll always love you
If there's one thing to bet. I'll do anything I can do
Suffering is training and wisdom is knowing that you don't know it all
Intelligence is kindness. Humility is knowing who you are when you fall
And I can't let you forget, that I'll always love you
If there's one thing to bet. I'll do anything I can do for you
Return to Earth. Enter the forest.
Listen to dreams. The unconscious fantasy.
Be genuine. Follow your instinct.
Stand on the shore and embark across the water.
I'd like to serve a purpose greater
Than myself. To give, to heal, to love someone else
I'd like to serve a purpose greater
Than myself. To give, to heal, to love someone else

When I look backward it isn't envy it's not regret
Pain, joy and suffering all lose their meaning with every step
Who I claim to be when I'm still drowning the path's not lost
Staying in front of that wave or flood comes always atras
Stepping outside of myself in suffering objectively
Pain loses value with ego distant I hope to see each necessary step
