Dream World 04:00
Take to the wind, the wild that we live in And hope we can find a common origin Through a current of my cloudy concepts in a sea of wild dreams that i slept Six years taken by the bed Wouldn't you say it's all in your head I don't understand the depth of my questions and i know the answer is done it is not said And if confusions better than conclusion then what has it done to me? Stay for a while you and i can make reality What we want what we need what we do Master in misery but the truth hasn't come yet What you want what you need what you do I don't understand the depth of my questions and i know the answer is done it is not said And if confusions better than conclusion then what has it done to me?

When i heard it was near, I hit the hills to go burning in the midnight air, followed a line of foxes there As i came to recognize my humble friends with bloodshot eyes, i was set home free, took about a minute to get to me Took a long time to get it here, now I'm fine. Combine, combine yourself with the places you see Leather drums to wake me up, hit like calls to inspire ritual healing, vernacular feeling Couldn't see past the rocks, they were singing them songs someone back home knew, riddling rhymes and beauty hoots Took a long time to get it here, now I'm fine. Combine yourself with the places you see

So long to your record deal Like it just because it's real I was born tempted and surprised Listen to my eyes Once had a place to go out west Now that i think it's for the best He took the job on the other side Of the goddamn states I am nothing without my friends Cause we share the same delusions Nothing but love is what you need When did that word translate to greed? It's all lost right in front of view I give the thanks to you Followed my thoughts into the light For every dream gives me insight To feel young and free of any care And these delusions i share I am nothing without my friends Cause we share the same delusions

Count Me In 03:57
What could make me fall into disparate parts, a world of two? What, you want to get me high? Pleasure starts within the mind Dive into the sacrifice Come with me it feels so nice But i might get trapped inside, So it goes. On and on and on. Mirrored thoughts again like that Day we said each others words Tiny squares of color flare One by one we sit and stare Leave the culture behind you After that what's left to do? But i might get trapped inside, So it goes. On and on and on
6.
You sound insane calling out my history Well i know it's weird but sometimes to me it's a mystery So far as i see it, we're heading to the same place The same old place In a different style Like a wearing groove When i was your fool So i cashed my check Rode all the way downtown I had to give my sanity And wait around The line was rather long We need the same things The same old place In a different style Like a wearing groove When i was your fool

Carrier 03:49
Ideas gone to dust said what we'll do pleasure, yeah, ya done mistrust me Trust in me Time to be, time won't carry me Slept for weeks on weeks On weeks
8.
Time is money and money is time, forget that Throw away your money, spend your time because it's just a trap Traveling the negatives for positive space Found myself looking for better ways Dipping ideas in a substance taste Red and pink colors sat on flowers beneath ocean sky Time was a song neatly woven until nothing wrong Spirit island sound, come closer, don't you feel unbound, so easy Traveling the negatives for positive space Found myself looking for better ways Dipping ideas in a substance taste If i come to shake your hand again one day Ill be lost for words but you'll know what to say Given the time, we could know each others rhymes, and return forgotten hymns, forever songs.

about

~~~Spirit Island is a collection of thoughts, sounds, and feels. Its infancy roots in a dream-like state, but explores a maturation process of waking through the material world, life experiences, death, and whatever may lie beyond.~~~
