SYNERGIES LYRICS
I wake to the dark and tension
Builds up all around me
Is that the room moving
Or my eyes? taksu
Witching hour, candle burning
But the walls show it is flick’ring
Casting shadows, something bigger, taksu
I stand to a soft attention
And i know it isn’t messing,
I am in presence of spirit taksu
She is dancing all around me,
Coaxing me to come and join her
I know that she is pure flow, taksu
Brave is the day
Gratefully taken in
Feeling our way
Until the lights flood in
Find me on my own
Am I on a road leading to nowhere?
I’m gonna show
You a part of me i thought i’d left out there
Synergies
Synergies
Sister, let me in
When you are the puppet, i throw shadow
Let you come alive, i am flow
Feel that mystery
Sparkling as you lift off, take off,
nothing matters but the moment, you know
Systems, covet me
But if i culminate too much they get too scared
Don’t wanna touch what your own
Vision, it may be
So let the power, let it flow, let it wash over, let it grow, into -
Do you know
What it means to be restless?
Do you know how
To still a mind?
Do you know how to see the best in
Yours and mine?
Is it too much
to check your patience
Is it too much to ask for time?
Do you feel its an obligation -
Yours, or mine?
Brave is the day
Gratefully taken in
Feeling our way
Until the lights flood in
Find me on my own
Am I on a road leading to nowhere?
I’m gonna show
You a part of me i thought i’d left out there

SAUDARA LYRICS
Where are we?
Water splashing
River rushing
You remember me?
Your favourite place
That certain time
Frogs pebbling
(‘Splash splash!’)
The way water runs on warm skin
I see you playing
Tread softly
Or the mud might just like to…
(‘Eeee!’)
Everyone laughs as you get back up
Wipe it off
As you stretch out your hands
And get back up with your friends
Watch the kingfisher flit for the dragonfly
Collecting flowers for your love
You are singing
I am laughing
And I can just
Feel the wind
In my hair
Will you hop on?
The rumble of exhaust pipes
And I remember when this used to be the path where we
Paved now over with
Where was it again?
(Oh yep, just there)
New land for sale right around the corner as we..
I look around and take it in
You could be my, be my kin
Years pass in a single day
Things are changing, but that’s okay
I’ve never seen so many streams
Of exhaust fumes, up to the seams
I know we need this, what if we don’t?
But I ain’t been here, what would I know?
I dream of mangroves filling
Marshy wetland-instead of these
Loops of highway above the sea
Why’s it all for sale? There’s no garuntee!
Are you sinking
With the weight?
Can you hold us, all okay?
I wanna love you
Give you my all
But
I’m
scared
you’ll
go
Oh, I’m scared you’ll go
I love you
Like my mother
You hold me like we are each other
Thick sand, like black snow
Rough touch, but a soft window
Saudara
Saudara
Wherever you are
Ampura
Saudara
