The Velvet Sea

The Velvet Sea

I draw back the curtains

see a world I don't recognise

Ruled by nations

With no authority

I pack my bags

put the mast into position

and sail away into the velvet sea

My face battered by the wind

the current controls me

but I stay strong

on this velvet sea

Sail into the sunset 

beyond the speed of light

darkness is behind me

Where I'm heading there's no night

Or day, just glistening stars 

in the distance

my body, my temple

protected from your influence

There is no vibration that can soothe me

I'm a rebel, sailing on this velvet sea

My flag is pirate

My thoughts are higher

My words push against the current

Of sin and desire

I elevate beyond the clouds

And into space

My words take me to the source

Of my disgrace

But I won't be caught up by the lord of the rings

instead I'll sail right beyond his army of kings

Into machine city

Watch fear fade as I take pity

On my enemies

Turn the switch off

And watch them all rest in peace

Reset the matrix 

Set humanity free

Then sail on my ship back on the velvet sea

Dear Papa

Dear Papa

Dear Papa

It's been over a year now

This January's cold

I'm 27 next month

Ya boys getting old

What's it like out there

on the other side?

Does heaven really exist?

Are we just born to die?

Do angels really fly?

Can you see with your eyes?

Or has the body gone cold and faded

And were you reborn with a new soul not jaded?

I had hate in me

For all the times I saw mama shed tears from her eyes

Man I couldn't sleep

But you had faith in me

Taught me how to read the good book

even though I couldn't recite but

You went and stayed with me

Up on the rooftops in the summer

Cool breeze in the air

While I layed down with mama

And spoke the words of God

with happiness on my tongue and

I tried to reach out to you

But you kept running

You held so much pain deep inside

You lost your father too

and I know it hurt inside

Loving us wasn't your strong suit

You loved everyone else

but I longed for you

And now you're up in heaven above

or I hope so

God give forgives fatherly love

Cos He's so dope bro

And without you I'm lost

I was raised by the hounds

The street seems so cold

When you're not around

I look at your picture each day

And wish I could turn back time to just say....
