Promises
The promises that we make
They clock us in at night
And check us out the next day
Tired but not forever so
The feeling of the day before
Was really much more than anyone could pray for
Empty dream machine without you

Man's in chains
His mind is at war again I fear
Its darkened angels are present here for real
And silenced now by this dread
I thought I'd got my life straight
I thought I'd changed it
But it seems I've just been crawling lately
I've prayed, I've cried
So don't let me fall
I'm a chastened man
And right now
Right now I feel this pain
I feel this transition
But I don't know what to say
Release me now
Empty dream machine without you

Listening to Asha sing Dum Maro Dum
We acquire honor from, if but a modicum
A heart driven by the drum is what I borrow from in the shadowy light of the
Night until tomorrow comes. Protection from clove, cinnamon and
Cardimum
My chalice wasn't masala, it's something harder son
My brainchild went from little one to martyrdom and
Gave the bug to the inspiration he had caught it from
My armor stay wrapped tight like a chrysalis
There's planets in the palm of my hand like it's a callous
On the mountain top is a wonderland like it was Alice
So every blood vessel expands
Forbidden talents. Doing tantric downward
A gold tooth in a trash can was the beginning of me kinda' taking my last
Stand
When I was Wimbledon they tried to swing me the back hand part of the
Pendulum and do me like I'm a black man that's black like spirits black like
Krishna black like a diety that's trapped like a prisoner
It's a wrap like chiba rolled up into the rizla when you're black like Evil Dee
Or black like Sizzla

I need you on my team

Vision is distorted
I love you in that colour
Floating up above you
Trying to get my dream back
Need you on my team
I need you by my side girl
