Andy Pervel I don't know why, I just keep coming back to this album. Lucid City is so beautiful and when Candice hits those notes, man, I lose it. I can't help but sing along, Kyle's beats are so enthralling. I wish I had a vinyl of this, this deserves to be pressed. Thank you guys for this experience. Favorite track: Black Lotus.

Jeffery Parker This is an incredible album, it helped me get through a rough point in my life. Excellent production and vocals make this a classic 7 years after It was initially released. Highly recommended. Favorite track: Intervention.

Skyscraping 04:50
Some say faerie tale love is dangerous. The same thing that I once believed of course, But now intellect is a dreamy dove and how you take me past the horizon love. You sure got me up so high. You sure got me up so high. You sure got me up so high. I can’t keep from falling down so deep in love with you now the ground is so far from me. I’d say, fairy tales are for make believe from the way, a hardened world can collapse a dream. But why choose the glass with the challenged height? My mind is infinite when it comes to flight. You sure got me up so high. You sure got me up so high. You sure got me up so high. I can’t keep from falling You sure got me up so high. You sure got me up so high. You sure got me up so high. I can’t keep from falling down so deep in love with you now the ground is so far from me. Let’s say, you see in love what the blind man can, those things beyond what’s firm and within our grasp. Like sand shifting with whatever wind that passes, so does, all you know and you think you have. Hello love I don’t think we’ve met before, how are you? I’m surprised by how much they say you’ve hurt, is this true?

Melody in Me 03:18
I’m a key and you’re my melody Without you my song’s incomplete Flipped in time my best line came when you almost left me behind A dissonant key I may be but your write the melody line in me If this makes sense please don’t quit I just got hip to flowin’ like this I know I was wrong but please keep me on and Let me explain, logic insane runs like a virus straight through my brain I know I was wrong but my love is so strong I’m a key and you’re my melody Without you my song’s incomplete Things I say may sound cliché’ but honestly I’ve been so afraid You’re so great but I can’t shake these paranoid schizoid thoughts I make. That one day you’ll say ‘hey, it’s been nice but I can’t stay’ So long…long…long you’ll be gone I guess that’s why I slip and slide preemptive minds don’t realize When love is strong it lasts long so long so… Even when I’m gone your melody in me Keeps running on your song is sure to Keep me safe and warm when I’m scared and Weak it keeps me strong and on…and on and I’m a key and you’re my melody Don’t leave without you I can’t sing You write the melody in me Without you my song’s incomplete

Soundtrack 03:02
Come on you hurry up let’s go! Don’t be shy now swag your soul. Hip hop junkies ya’ll rock and roll kids, Afropunk what you know about this? I like Streisand and Broadway esk. Strange for some but yo, that’s my chest. Odd time sigs metal intellect flare, cause I’m a dreadlock rock star dying my hair. This is the soundtrack to my stride and flow. This is that good ish I’ve got to know. Now who said right like Mike was it? I fly high doing my shhhh… I be quantum wormhole mad. So what’s your ish yo what’s your swag? Aint nobody else like your own. Cause you got the stride and you got the flow. Can’t nobody else rock your show. Cause we got the stride and we got the flow. Yeah you got the stride and you got the flow. You got the stride and you got the flow. This is the soundtrack to my stride and flow. This is that good ish I’ve got to know.

If only love was enough maybe it could rescue all of us. But you and me we missed our chance in time and only love can’t take it back…

Black Lotus 03:27
Inertia a splendor a splinter caught in the spine. When momentum meets resistance sends a shock through time. But you can’t stop the motion now. No you can’t try and slow it down. No you can’t stop the turning ‘round. Now it’s your time permutate. Open your mouth and take the deepest of breaths you can make. Go on embrace the change. Black lotus blooming. Stretch up and stretch out wide. Open and greet the skies. Strong from your core inside. Black Lotus blooming. Something’s got you under muddy waters won’t let go. But what’s under is another version of you that roots your soul. So stretch up and stretch out wide. Open your closed third eye. Breathe in the breath of life. Black Lotus blooming. Take all your painful past churn it to sweet molasses, the nectar to your next joy crash. Black Lotus blooming. Black Lotus blooming.

Like Anias Nin, stealth you lure me in like your little bird. I’m feeding on every word. Opiate dream keeps me wanting. Delta of Venus, shimmering you slip in under the pink you can’t help but sink. Cant pull out now, head deep in. Now I’m under your control My mind body you control Venus Burns beyond the mercury Murmurs turn to booming symphonies You said cover me with your mouth, velvet and open. Let me see how deep down your words are spoken. Hold me from the cold, hold me till I know, how the words go speak them slow. Now I’m under your control My mind body you control Venus burns beyond the mercury Murmurs turn to booming symphonies Just from one caress, Takes my best to hold on don’t let go, hold on for more and more, two hundred twenty five days… Now I’m under your control My mind body you control Venus Burns beyond the mercury Murmurs turn to booming symphonies Now I’m under your control… Now I’m under your control… Venus burns… Murmurs turn…

Intervention 04:03
The dream of thousand dreams These nights enlighten me Straight haze are these crazy days…these days. Souls war torn we need an intervention. Raise your hands up high If you don’t want it anymore Let your voice out loud as you can Our footprints weights of shame This gravity is insane man All the world cannot sustain much more taking No Raise your hands up high If you don’t want it anymore Let your voice out loud as you can All these people cowering Makes me wanna scream out loud You plus me makes millions We can turn this world around See that violent storm approaching We’ve got to move back from the sea Paint the skyline with some good old fashion peace Raise your hands up high If you don’t want it anymore Let your voice out loud as you can

Lucidity 03:45
Come follow me to lucidity waking dreams are magical A carpet ride where secrets hide the questions to unsolvables A dream within a dream This ever-waking scene A grime reality of being stuck Steadily swallowing your disappearing feet The ground you grip to keep you head Above the sky sighs out a love come Breathe in from above the sky sighs out a love Come follow me to lucidity waking dreams are magical A carpet ride where secrets hide the questions to unsolvables Clouds scream in streams These thunderous symphonies Are dripping life to meaning of things like Pain transitioning Nothing’s what it seems Catastrophe gives reason to new Love the sky sighs out above come Breathe in all this love the sky sighs out above Come follow me to lucidity waking dreams are magical A carpet ride where secrets hide the questions to unsolvables I found out the other day You and me are not the same Making war won’t change a thing Except who lives and who ends We’ll find out another day None of us are all the same Making war won’t change a thing Except who lives and who ends

Woke up early morning to the perfect day Woke up to the moment and my fears went gray All the air electric from the here today No worries for tomorrow or of yesterday Oohh its so right Mmmhmm just right Oohh it’s so right Just right so right Oohh its so right Mmmhmm just right So right, right right Oohhoo it’s so right Think I’ll take a walk down to the new café’ Been meaning to stop by before life got in the way Convo at the corner with the man who’s name I forget when time moves quick but not today Now I’ll take a bike ride across the city line Let the money pass on by in four-wheel drive Lend my hands to someone else so they can dine Always thinking always meaning now’s the time Oohh its so right Mmmhmm just right Oohh it’s so right Just right so right Oohh its so right Mmmhmm just right So right, right right Oohhoo it’s so right

So we’re not the same, so you walk away. But maybe you just haven’t heard half the words I say. Maybe I’m afraid to let you in all the way and understand, understand who I am. Stars hide fire sometimes from the night sky Gamma rays ablaze in your blind eye Radiation haze you could be my halo Rebel in the night harboring your secret light, can you really find joy in denying? Fear covered skin layer so deep that you’re locked in What if you chose love instead though? Star light, star bright radiate from me tonight. Halo ghost ring now transforming. Cosmic shift a bliss the gravity in me moves quick. New volition. Solar mission Dark star in the night… Can I see your light…? Rebel in the sky…
