Caterpillar 03:03
A coconut parade Stillness in the shade Moment a la mode The mariachi plays And beauty is bestowed In Figueroa phrase The caterpillar band Has got me in a trance All the songs they’re singing How life can be so simple free from your cocoon Dreams are yours for taking Face to face with fear what have you got to lose At every corners turn I’m at a loss for words The rhythm knows my name My heart it takes a verse Caterpillars do proclaim Remember what you heard And will you join the band? Well its free from life’s demands All songs are worth singing They don’t care if you can’t even hold a tune To waltz beneath a feeling To dance with doubt while shouting out that I’m my truth Become what you’re believing A caterpillar spreading hope in the afternoon

Firefly 03:01 video
Well the fireflies Are in disguise Their psychology been a part of me that I fossilized Dig sifting off the artifacts Fall below Feel the glow When the shadow comes To greet the sun I get a heart attack and a broken back cause it weights a ton Bug magic just to peel your way From the smoke Greet your ghost We’re gonna learn to feel tonight All our love Well the talking cure Is so absurd I need a river swim when I’m wearing thin at a loss for words A little nature just to feel the light spark inside, catalyze Like a firefly Who comes alive Archeology in the part of me that I localize But still trippin on the artifacts Fall below Feel the Glow We’re gonna learn to feel tonight All our love

Fool 03:34 video
A heart of stone won’t feel light The past will grow in weight I see right through your fools gold You ain’t no Hemmingway You step to blame all sorbet for your shame I know we’re all in pain I just don’t buy all your archetypes lies You fool Won’t be a fool for nobody But he’s a fool for you honey Leave it to love to light the surprise Compost the walls to spark the flame You’re growing spells out from eggshells A saving throw to own your pain Now dosed in smiles while your dogs all run wild I know we all can change The counterplot skipping stones off the clock Reclaim the fool Won’t be a fool for nobody But he’s a fool for you honey

Panopticon 02:20
No one’s immune to its spotlight They’re policing all of our dreams and soon leaving no room Pidgeon holed til’ we can’t even take flight Well I filed for appeal To collectively heal through our love Pick up the pieces and learn to feel We’re spinning 45s up until the sun appears But down the needle and grab the wheel Reject the pressure that our culture wants us all to feel Lock down the Panopticon’s eyesight Shut down makes hard just to live our truth, I try to break thru Our connections got to come forthright Our communities weight Well you can’t take away from that love Pick up the pieces and learn to feel We’re spinning 45s up until the sun appears But down the needle and grab the wheel Reject the pressure that our culture wants us all to feel

A La Diabla 01:31
8.
Welcome to the party jack and you know that all the records and the sofas shit talkin’ The puppets pose like artifacts with their cigarettes Your girls gloss tossed to the lamplight smoke from your lips like snakes catching cases The five dollars words that you spit to your silhouette The mannequin crowd Searches the ground for clues Their plastic is loud I turn from the sound to tell you And you say tru.
9.
How high is your love? How high is your spirit? It’s as high as a mountain Lead us over the bridge It’ll keep on amounting There’s no limit to it
10.
It’s hard to know what’s possible In the subtle wave of an undertow They look for clout, a hungering To feed on doubt and othering They don’t want to see us climb They don’t want to see you rise All strange heros step to the light Share your love the heart is your queen All you politicians put your egos aside Let love arrive They preach the norm as practical But I prefer the magical Their lulla-lies like cigarettes And act as if we’d forgotten it They don’t want us to unite They would rather see us fight All strange heros step to the light Share your love community is king All you fake auditions please move to the side Steep the just and potently we sing For peace, voice, cauterize the grease Let love arrive

Last Call 03:26
Looks like you played it cool so Is it everything you hoped? Your fear dressed up just like your ego Take you all around in a clown car full of crows Last call for all you all to take flight Regret is living in the hindsight Chance it whispers at the doorway As soon it comes, it goes No grace to play it safe so Better open up the door and walk into unknown Last call for all you all to take flight Regret is living in the hindsight Last chance to take a dance with your fate Regret has got you in a checkmate
12.
I fall back into the dream And still feel blind Low key still learning to see Keep both hands up above your coffin All smiles while the cities on fire Their smokey ways Sun fades people tossing the shade Quick to be kneeling at the alter You took the honey from the master Fire in the valley Come to California, LA Out on the horizon Colors hypnotize and fade, LA Who’s truth to clouded with doubt It gives me pause I just can’t figure it out The smoke sits thick on intuition Slow drip slip fall into place Helicopters call Top down lay buried in sound Soak in the moments where your heart does sing Don’t let the reptiles take your wings All of your money Honey it’s the price you pay, LA Driving for the chance of Dancing for the plastic stage, LA Out on the horizon Colors hypnotize and fade, LA
13.
You can do what you want to Don’t hold back by what haunts you Don’t trip, when the hands ain’t clockwise It’s your mix, watch your powers alchemize And step into the sunshine Hang your doubts on the clothsline Hang tight, and leave behind disguise It’s your life, hold on And just lead with your heart When grief comes to find you Well don’t let it define you Spirits are dancing on the lawn Believe this, they’ve been with you all along Some people try to steal your light We all know the type It ain’t you, they’re coming for their mirror Stay true, hold on And just lead with your heart
