Karma Chain 05:16
The news is on, cut the tube. They say they’re right and I don’t have a clue When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. The trees are gone, rest in peace. Fill my cup with “easy” please. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. The fight is slim, I have a pen. Mark my way, just to start again. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. Where is God, He should know. Bright as gold, and white as snow. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. Her lipstick is crimson red, Halfway bold and halfway dead. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. Change is gone, where are you? I ain’t got money, but I have a clue. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. I stay positive and roll the dice. Question me if I don’t ask why. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. The army comes and I’m asleep. I don’t remember but I can weep. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. The baby cries one last time. I ask why but it still died. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. I go this way and that way too. I know some things but I’m still a fool. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. Man on the train, I can’t forget. Laid on track because of debt. When will I be? I still pretend, hoping that I will see you again. Karma Chain, why can’t I have my cake and eat my pie? Yea!

I Want Out 04:53
Yes, is a vibration, take or leave My whole world is the red pill and I choose to bleed I’m not in it for the money and I didn’t pay anyone off to be here I just came and I can go at anytime My force is a little bubble I expand in and out of you And I know you I want out I want out Pain and victory figure it out Let’s paint the picture and you will see, beauty I want out I want out Future, mystery without a doubt I stay present, as you can see, only way that I am truly free Ohhh…. I am here. Exactly where I need to be, I have everything I need I am free. What more could I ask for Don’t need to ask anyone for permission... I’m not in it for the money and I didn’t pay anyone off to be here I just came and I can go at anytime My force is a little bubble I can expand in and out of you And I know you I’m not in it for the money and I didn’t pay anyone off to be here I just came and I can go at anytime My force is a little bubble I can expand in and out of you And I know you

Sunflower child, where have you been? I keep forgetting you already know how to swim And it’s been ages since I’ve seen you walk through the door again Sunflower child, you’re in my memory A fond experience of what life could really mean And I keep treading water behind you, just trying, to fit it, somewhere You keep steadying your mind and trying, looking over there and crying I have the answer, I’ve just been lying to myself You keep steadying your mind and trying, looking over there and crying I have the answer, I’ve just been lying to you, again Sunflower child, where did you go? I keep forgetting you can’t survive in the snow But all those demons can’t do you in 'cause you already know Sunflower child, I’m so proud of you! So proud that I don’t know what to do So here’s another test and another test for you You keep steadying your mind and trying, looking over there and crying You have the answer, they’ve just been lying to you You keep steadying your mind and trying, looking over there and crying I have the answer, I’ve just been lying to myself You keep steadying your mind and trying, looking over there and crying You have the answer, they’ve just been lying to you You keep steadying your mind and trying, looking over there and crying I have the answer, I’ve just been lying to myself You keep steadying your mind and trying, looking over there and crying I have the answer, they’ve just been lying to you they’ve just been lying to you

I’m stuck in illusion, so push me to the edge A knife stabs and hurts me even though it’s dead My metaphysical needs are extreme my hunger will exceed, Whatever greed my consciousness breeds And from the drugs I take, my patience is at stake My thoughts are obsessive and pleasure is fake I can’t feel the shock, the pain is beneath the dirt The harder I hit, the harder it hurts I can’t stand this forcefield mind, who said I wanted to? Where has caring been, who said I needed to? Everything’s rooted in heartache, so what’s the deal? Don’t be artificial just tell me what you think is real It’s gonna be hard, it’s gonna be tough The blood seeps through my organs, but it’s never enough It’s the pressure flowing in and out of my brain It’s the whisper in your head that makes you go insane You sit back and you judge me, me and my people You forget we are of the same blood and skin, then we are equal Wouldn’t you say? What wouldn’t you say? I said, you can take my heart put it in your pocket Walk around for a while or wear it as a locket And when you finally rest inside your security you can come Find me You’re gonna find me When you’re ready, you’re gonna find me You’re gonna find me

Where has your faith gone? I don’t know There’s so many coverings on top of my soul Where has your faith gone? I don’t know There’s so many coverings on top of my soul There’s daisies and flowers and moonbeams when it showers And angels in your window, looking at the aliens under the tower The mountains and streams are melting into seas The animals and the trees are wishing that we had more of these Destiny and fear are breathing down my neck Stay tuned third eye to show me what is next And there are butterflies all over my house Where has your faith gone? I don’t know There’s so many coverings on top of my soul Where has your faith gone? I don’t know There’s so many coverings on top of my soul There’s daisies and flowers and moonbeams when it showers And angels in your window, looking at the aliens under the tower The mountains and streams are melting into seas The animals and the trees are wishing that we had more of these Destiny and fear are breathing down my neck Stay tuned third eye to show me what is next And there are butterflies all over my house (2x)

about

Certainly one of the more eclectically conscious albums in recent years.

Sunflower Child takes you on a rollercoaster ride of groovy vocals, strings, beats, lyrics and soul food for thought with a dash of sanskrit on the side! What?! :-0

The most expressive journey of this world/pop album highlights some of the more personal adjustments and experiences in life. Explore the innocence of human nature with your ears and be happy! :)
