about

This was written well before I knew EQ, it was actually the first song I really wrote to original production. Still very close to my heart one of my best friends Phillip told me one day "I think you've finally realized what I was always hoping you would". That always felt like a warm thought to me, the last full final thought of the album was really intended to be the last thing you heard, we changed that but I believe the premiss is still the same. This is my hope for all my listeners...Thank you for your time and attention.

lyrics

I'm loving this life
sleep with my pen and put a bun in my mic
nine months give birth to a light
rehearse and give my soul to the night
make people smile now adays so I know that it's right
gather my composure
hug my mama tight around her shoulder
tell her I'm no soldier but I'mma fight until this strife is over
might get colder
but that's what the sun is for
you can't put a price on your time it's worth much more
no road is straight that takes you where you need to go
and life holds things untold
you don't need to know
just take it for what it's worth I suppose
use my soul to plant the seed and now I pray that it grows
wear my heart on my sleeve so easily seen
make every song cry
make every line breathe
mi corazons need the hope
so while they spit the poison
I concoct the next antidote and here it goes...

and that new days coming soon
the new days coming soon it will find you
and that new days coming soon
you're still breathing you're alive I remind you
and that new days coming soon
the new days coming soon it will find you
and that new days coming soon
you're not dead you're alive I remind you

dying is certain truly living is not
it's your choice
you'll make it up over time or right on the spot
the difference between soaring high or sinking like rocks
sometimes these fleeting moments all we've got
either way you've gotta work with what we're giving
when we're grief stricken do we want salvation or simply easy living?
I know the roles I've been in
I keep my light bending
I hope you ride the waves I am sending cause I'm
scribbling freedom on pages
trying to reach a common ground
I seek it through the sound
hand extended out, I will not let you drown
feel lost? now you are found
positive vibes yea we need that around
it helps the soul rejuvenate
I put my heart in it so I hope you relate
lets plan our escape before our parts finished
and they chase our stars away
your spirit is free they can't take what you never gave

and that new days coming soon
the new days coming soon it will find you
and that new days coming soon
you're still breathing you're alive I remind you
and that new days coming soon
the new days coming soon it will find you
and that new days coming soon
you're not dead you're alive I remind you

the new days coming soon it will find you
you're not alone in this world I remind you
the new days coming soon it will find you
you're not alone in this world I remind you
