Carried Away (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my blues go away
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my soul okay (2x)

[Verse 1]
I’ve been hiding all the butterflies away
I’ve been thinking of you night and day
Your smile makes the sunshine stay
Your smile makes the darkness fade

[Verse 2]
I’ve been thinking of you night and day
I’ve been hiding all my butterflies away
Your smile makes the sunshine stay
Your smile makes the darkness fade

[Verse 3]
Did you know? Did you know?
Did you know? Did you know?
Did you know? Did you know?
Did you know? Did you know?

[Bridge]
You
Are
All
Love

You
Are
All
Good

[Chorus]
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my blues go away
I get so carried away
‘Cause you make my soul okay (4x)

[Chorus 2]
I just got carried away
‘Cause you took my breath away
I just got carried away
I just got carried away (2x)

I just got carried away …

Poetry (Song + Lyrics)

We make love like poetry
Two bodies bursting with energy
Could put the world in jeopardy
Or could heat the world for eternity

The cleanest source of energy
Is extracted from femininity
Ask a man and he’ll agree
Ask a god they’ll envy

To light a candle’s pretty easy
Just place it near your vicinity
To light the sky’s pretty easy
Just have you in the vicinity

I don’t understand chemistry
But I know renewable energy
Has the sweetest ability
To be outsourced from you and me

Moon Time

Once
I was a fool  knowingly 
bathing in the sunlight

and    day after day
staring 
       into its rays
excited about the heat
it placed upon my skin 
                                 forever forgetting 
the damage it did to my hands
the damage it did to my eyes
the damage it did to my brain

BUT


by the grace of the stars
I found my way up and heavenward
                                                rediscovered 
                                         the beauty of reflection

the-power-of-pull
                        as well as
                                           the rhythm of time
which heals and endures

Oh yes
          once 
                 I was a damned fool
yet now that I’ve regained my senses 
                                                   

I ONLY 
GIVE MY
PRAISE TO 
THE MOON

Viewtiful (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
I wanna tell you that you’re beautiful
In a brand-new way

I wanna tell you that you’re beautiful
No matter what you say

[Chorus]
You’re viewtiful
You’re viewtiful
You’re changing my ways

You’re viewtiful
You’re viewtiful
You brightened my days

Oh, you brightened my days

[Verse 2]
I’m gonna tell you that you’re special
Every single day

I’m gonna tell you that you’re perfect
No matter what you say

[Chorus]
You’re viewitful
You’re viewtiful
You changed my ways

You’re viewtiful
You’re viewtiful
You brightened my days

[Ab lib]

Sex O’clock (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
You’re always pulling me close to you, baby
You’re always pulling me down
I’m always close to your legs, baby
I’m always going down

It’s always sex o’clock in the morning
It’s always sex o’clock at night
Even in the middle of the day, honey
You’re always asking for the tick-tock

[Chorus]
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
We’re always burning up the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You’re always asking for my whole clock

[Verse 2]
I’m always tired after midnight
You never give a damn about my dream-time
You’re always asking for another time
Which always leads to another night

You don’t give a shit about my job
So I don’t give a shit about yours
If your boss asks why you’re late tomorrow
Just tell him you found a new toy

[Chorus 2]
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
We’re always burning up the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You’re always asking for my whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always asking for the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always asking for my whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock

Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock
Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock
Damn, nobody else can take my whole clock

Damn, nobody else can take my whole clock

In Between the Lines

By Benjamin & Grace (Fearless Free Soul)

Write me a line I could never forget
Send me the heart of your mind
Open the rib cage of time
Unlock the why of you and I

Take me back to our before
Gift me a word layered like a rose
Look for me in every petal and thorn
Watch us wither or watch us soar

I wrote a line you could never forget
Spread my dreams without you, not one regret
You sent me the heart of your mind
I was most alive with a love so blind
I opened the rib cage of time
Found a heaven in every hemisphere
I unlocked the why of you and I
Saw my fears burn in our atmosphere
I took myself to our before
Lost and found the core
I discovered a word layered like a rose
Moments just become written prose
Looking in every petal and thorn
I watched us wither I watched us soar

This was a fun collaboration with the multi-talented Grace (check out more of her work at Fearless Free Soul). It’s always exciting to see how the words will connect and come together. Lots to find between the lines here.

I Don’t Care (Demo)

[Verse 1]
I don’t care where you are
I don’t care where you started
As long as you work your way to me
As long as you wait eternity

Like I would wait for you
Like I would walk to you

I’d swim an ocean, an ocean
I’d cross a mountain, a mountain
I would dig a million miles
If it was you at the bottom

I’d swim an ocean, an ocean
I’d cross a mountain, a mountain
I’d fight a billion gods
If they held you captive

[Chorus]
I don’t care
I don’t care
What happens to me
As long as you are there

[Verse 2]
I don’t care where you are
I don’t care if you’re beyond the stars
As long as you make your way to me
As long as you are devoted for eternity

Like I would be for you
Like I am for you

I’d put my feet to the fire
I’d climb the tallest tower
I’d take a bullet to the heart
If it made you happy

I’d swim an ocean, an ocean
I’d cross a mountain, a mountain
I’d fight a billion gods
If they held you captive

[Chorus]
I don’t care
I don’t care
What happens to me
As long as you are there

[Ad lib]
