So much misinformation, coming your way, coming your way, coming your way. And it’s hard hard to tell what’s true or false, what’s true or false, what’s true at all. And its here to stay, not going away, not going away, no not today. And all you are, is all you know, and all you know, is all you are. So keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, why don’t you talk to me some more. So much deliberation, coming your way, coming your way, coming your way. And its going round, round and round, round and round, round again. And all you are, is all you know, and all you know, is all you are. So keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, why don’t you talk to me, to me, to me, to me, some more.

Daryung 03:47
Sunlight hits the water warming up those dark and empty places. Your reflection hits the water and you see you've gone and got all dark and murky. And you wanna feel free, to flap around, and feel the heartbeat, and you wanna swim out there, breath in, breath out. Like the Daryung Like the Daryung Sunlight hits the water warming up those dark and empty places you've been. Your reflection hits the water and your dreams come tumbling out from every corner.

Saltwater people, living where the river meets the sea, waves crash and tumble, stingrays and dolphins swimming. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, the river fills up and down, and its rising deeper now, but the fish you cannot see. Saltwater people, living where the river meets the sea, waves crash and tumble, stingrays and dolphins swimming. The clouds are closing in, the sky is darkening, the storm is coming, and the rain is falling. Saltwater people, living where the river meets the sea, waves crash and tumble, stingrays and dolphins swimming. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, the river fills up and down, and its rising deeper now, but the fish you cannot see. Saltwater people, saltwater people, saltwater people, saltwater people, saltwater, saltwater people.

Yanoo 03:27
This is the end, I am not your friend, I’ve waited and I’ve waited for so long. The trust that I receive, is not reciprocated, and you just keep me waiting for too long. And you know what I do to you, I say yanoo, and you know what I do to you, I turn my back on you and I tell you, yanoo, yanoo, yanoo, yanoo, yanoo, yanoo. It’s been some time, and you haven’t come through, leaving me know choice, for you are so untrue, the trust that I receive, is not reciprocated, and you just keep me waiting for too long. And you know what I do to you, I say yanoo, and you know what I do to you, I turn my back on you and I tell you, yanoo, yanoo, yanoo. I don’t understand why’d you bite this hand, the hand that feeds you, and breeds you why’d you bite this hand. I don’t understand why’d you bite this hand, the hand that feeds you, and breeds you why’d you bite this hand. Yanoo, yanoo, yanoo, yanoo.

Lets skip town, and move to space, forget about the rat race, fly into the galaxy, come dance among the stars with me. Lets skip town, and move to space, forget about the rat race, fly into the galaxy, come dance among the stars with me. Meteor shower, at the usual hour, no need to worry, about who’s in power. Lets skip town, and move to space, forget about the rat race, fly into the galaxy, come dance among the stars with me. Lets skip town, and move to space, forget about the rat race, fly into the galaxy, come dance among the stars with me.

Pride 02:57
Great great great great grandma, how could I ever know what you went through. All your children taken in the night, all your children taken outta sight. No voices only silence, no signs of any kindness, living in fear and blindness, how do you survive this? Your childrens hands were offered, the rich could not be softened, molding you into new life, you follow rules or get strife. A servant to the white man, watching for whether you can, use the best escape plan. Pride feel it inside, pride, keep it alive, pride feel it inside, pride, keep it alive. 5 out of 6 made it home, that ones somewhere all alone, now people live in silence, out of fear and survival tactics don't say a word, and shhh protect the children. Here starts the intergenerational cycle of fear, shame, and silence. Pride feel it inside, pride, keep it alive, pride feel it inside, pride, keep it alive.
