New Single: "This Time With You"

I am releasing another single from the upcoming album, “I Will Be Free.” The song - called “This Time With You” - is told from the perspective of a soul inhabiting a body. This soul is yearning for the moment that God releases it from the causal cycle. But, it still exhibits some egoic traits that keep it stuck in the duopoly.

Lyrics:

I run on all fours. A beast in some worlds

A gross anatomy

Long-lived in limbo, the grace awaits, though

A fate I just can’t shake

There’s an aggregate. It’s definite

A kismetic puzzle where the pieces fit

But, I’m alone with you. All alone with you

I feel fortunate that the way was writ

A little slit, I found another seat to sit

This is where we dance. This is circumstance

No sleep but slumber. Awaking others

To a tale that just won’t end

Ain’t no reason for this rhyme that I’ve been searching for

This time with you is nothing more

Than waiting for this fate to run its course

Standing alone in front of god is what I’m hoping for

This time it’s closer than before

I made it all the way but I’ll wait another day

I’m a delicate, compassionate invertebrate With skeletal coordinates

Where I’m a stowaway trying to show a way

A defiant sun in the sky at night

Rising when I oughtn’t try to shine the light

Because I’m brighter than what I’m residing in

Stop focusing on getting it right and never letting nothing be wrong

Always trying to put up a fight

it’s the loving that will move us along
