Yeah I'm Muslim

Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder,

I got to say something.

Lightweights step it aside,

when we coming.

Feel it in your chest,

the syllables get pumping.

People on the street,

they panic and start running.

Words on loose leaf,

sheet complete coming.

I jump in my mind,

I summon the rhyme I’m dumping.

Feeling the blind,

I promise to let the sun in.

Sick of the dark ways,

we march to the drumming.

Jump when they tell us

they want to see jumping.

Fuck that, I want to

see some fist pumping.

Risk something.

Take back what’s yours

Say something that you know

they might attack you for

cause I’m sick of being treated

like I have before.

Like it’s stupid standing for

what I’m standing for.

Like this war is really just

a different brand of war.

Like it doesn’t cater the rich

and abandon poor.

Like they understand you

in the back of the jet,

When you can’t put gas in your tank.

These fuckers are laughing their way

to the bank and cashing their check

asking you to have compassion, have respect.

For a leader so nervous

in an obvious way

Stuttering and mumbling

for nightly news to replay

and the rest of the world

watching at the end of the day

in the living room laughing

like what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

In my living room watching,

But I am not laughing.

‘Cause when it gets tense,

I know what might happen.

The world is cold,

The bold men take action.

Have to react,

To getting blown into fractions.

Ten years old is something to see,

Another kid my age drug under a jeep,

Taken and bound and found later under a tree,

I wonder if he thought the next one could be me.

Do you see?

The soldiers that are out today.

That brush the dust from bulletproof vests away.

It’s ironic.

At times like this you pray,

But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.

There’s bombs in the buses, bikes, roads,

inside your markets,your shops, your clothes,

My dad, he’s got a lot of fear I know

but enough pride inside not to let that show.

My brother had a book he would hold with pride

A little red cover with a broken spine.

In the back he hand wrote a quote inside,

when the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die.

And meanwhile, the leader just talks away

Stuttering and mumbling

for nightly news to replay

and the rest of the world

watching at the end of the day

both scared and angry

like what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

With hands held high

into a sky so blue

as the ocean opens up

to swallow you.

With hands held high

into a sky so blue

as the ocean opens up

to swallow you.

With hands held high

into a sky so blue

as the ocean opens up

to swallow you.

With hands held high

into a sky so blue

as the ocean opens up

to swallow you.

With hands held high

into a sky so blue

as the ocean opens up

to swallow you.

With hands held high

into a sky so blue

as the ocean opens up

to swallow you.

Remember

I'm still awake for you

We won't make it together

We can't hide the truth

I'm giving up for you now

My final wish will guide you out

Before the ocean breaks apart 

Underneath me

Remember

To me you'll be forever sacred

I'm dying but I know 

Our love will live

Your hand above

Like a dove

Over me

Remember

To me you'll be forever sacred

You break the ice when you speak

With every breath you take

You safe me

I know that one day

We'll meet again

Try to go on as long as you can

Even when the ocean breaks apart

Underneath you

Remember

To me you'll be forever sacred

I'm dying but I know 

Our love will live

Your hand above

Like a dove

Over me

Remember

To me you'll be forever sacred

Forever you

Forever sacred

Forever you

You will be sacred

In your eyes

I see the hope 

I once knew

I'm sinking

I'm sinking

Away from you

Don't turn around

You'll see

You can make it

Never forget

To me you'll be forever sacred

I'm dying but I know 

Our love will live

Your hand above

Like a dove

Over me

And one day

The sea will guide you 

Back to me

Remember

To me you'll be forever sacred

To me you'll be forever sacred

Hide in your shell

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride What will you gain making your life a little longer?  Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?  Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker Too frightening to listen to a stranger Too beautiful to put your pride in danger Youre waiting for someone to understand you But youve got demons in your closet And youre screaming out to stop it Saying lifes begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you scramble for Dont let the tears linger on inside now Cos its sure time you gained control If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know Well, let me show you the nearest signpost To get your heartback and on the road If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know. All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?  I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?  Too frightening- the fires getting colder Too beautiful- to think youre getting older Youre looking for someone to give an answer. But what you see is just an illusion Youre surrounded by confusion Saying lifes begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for Dont let teh tears... ... just let me know I wanna know... I wanna know you... Well let me know you I wanna feel you I wanna touch you Please let me near you Can you hear what Im saying?  Well Im hoping, Im dreamin, Im prayin I know what youre thinkin See what youre seein Never ever let yourself go Hold yourself down, hold yourself down Why dya hold yourself down?  Why dont you listen, you can Trust me, Theres a place I know the way to A place there is need to feel you Feel that youre alone Hear me I know exactly what youre feelin Cos all your troubles are whithin you Please begin to see that Im just bleeding to Love me, love you Loving is the way to Help me, help you - why must we be so cool, oh so cool,?  Oh, were such damn fools

..

I can see us dying ... are we?

You and me

We used to be together 

Every day together always 

 

I really feel 

I'm losing my best friend 

I can't believe 

This could be the end 

 

It looks as though you're letting go 

And it it's real, 

Well I don't want to know 

Don't speak 

I know just what you're saying 

So please stop explaining 

Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

 

Don't speak

 

I know what you're thinking 

I don't need your reasons 

Don't tell me 'cause it hurts 

 

Our memories 

They can be inviting 

But some are altogether 

Mighty frightening 

As we die, both you and I 

With my head in my hands 

I sit and cry 

It's all ending 

I gotta stop pretending who we are... 

You and me 

I can see us dying ... are we?

My Immortal lyrics

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]
