Jordan Rakei - Origin Album Lyrics

Stay away from emotion and madness
Stay away from the streets
For me, for me
Hide away from the moments that make us
Hide away from the streets
For me, for me

It's a mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad world
It's a mad, mad world
Why can't we keep on living here? Yeah
(It's a mad, mad world)
Why can't we keep on living here? Yeah
(It's a mad, mad world)

Find a way to keep hiding your secrets
Find a way to complete
For me, for me
Stray away from the forces that make you
Stray away from deceit
For me, for me

It's a mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad world
It's a mad, mad world
Why can't we keep on living here? Yeah
(It's a mad, mad world)
Why can't we keep on living here? Yeah
(It's a mad, mad world)

It's a mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad world
It's a mad, mad world
Why can't we keep on living here? Yeah
(It's a mad, mad world)
Why can't we keep on living here? Yeah

It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world

Say something, say something
Say something, say something

Say something to me, say it like you mean it
Out there thinking you deserve this
All over nothing, pain is the meaning
Out there somewhere in the distance

Way too cold outside
Feels like I've been running wild
All out here for living
So we keep on biding time

Say something
Say something

Say something to me
Speak up if you wanna fight it
Don't think you can't describe it (yeah)
All of your energy
Leave us with the old reminder
Of what you always seem to care for

Way too cold outside
Feels like I've been running wild
All out here for living
So we keep on biding time

Say something
Say something

I was sick and tired of how they used our minds
I press rewind, I never press record
I was making sure that everything's alright
It's on the line, our future's heading for
Relapse and all that, there's no way to fall back
It's too far gone, it's too far gone
Now they take our memories, it's up to us to say
It's not too far gone, it's not too hard to
Say something

Say something
Say something
Say something (oh-oh)
Say something
Say something (oh-oh)
Say something
Say something (oh-oh)
Say something

These voices, all in my head
Never to whisper again
Never to sing me to sleep
Oh, but a dream
Right there, caught out in the rain
Drenched in a memory of pain
Soaked by the old sour taste
Let's hope for the better

Play to the mind, wide open
Awaken the beast by the meadow
Playful at least, I'm hoping
Show you the doorway to my soul

Come to the root of the cause
Producer will can the applause
I mention it's not my fault
Yet my effort was needed
So I grab for some inner resource
Most certainly blind to the force
Letting the world takes its course
We've now superseded

Play to the mind, wide open
Awaken the beast by the meadow
Playful at least, I'm hoping
Show you the doorway to my soul
Play to the mind, wide open
Waking the beast by the meadow
Playful at least, I'm hoping
Show you the doorway to my soul

Always in my brain
I'm trapped in a magical maze
Not feelings of hopelessness
I'm facing the mess that I've made
Always in my brain
I'm trapped in a magical maze
Not feelings of hopelessness
I'm facing the mess that I've made
Made, made, made
Made, made, made, made

Play to the mind, wide open
Awaken the beast by the meadow
Playful at least, I'm hoping
Show you the doorway to my soul
Play to the mind, wide open
Awaken the beast by the meadow
Playful at least, I'm hoping
Show you the doorway to my soul

Oh, the mind's eye
Oh, the mind's eye
Oh, the mind's eye
Oh, the mind's eye
Oh, the mind's eye
Oh, the mind's eye
Oh, the mind's eye
Oh, the mind's eye

In the wake of the madness
I held it until it came right, yeah
I'm looking on the bright side
While they wreak in the havoc, huh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
There's no random access here
Erase what they call memory
I'll make sure they remember me
Until they disappear
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Ooh, I'm asking permission for where it stands, stands
I don't know where to hide when said and done
(Ooh ooh) takes more than you'll ever understand
(Ooh ooh)
It's rolling into one

I wish I'd never seen the danger that life pose to me
Circling all around thee
I hope for memories that never fade like her and he
Worshiping onto the ground, we
Fake it 'til we make it
They'll be dreaming about nothing, but us
Take it 'til they break us
They'll be screaming loud, misplacing our trust
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh, I'm asking permission for where it stands, stands
I don't know where to hide when said and done
(Ooh ooh) takes more than you'll ever understand
(Ooh ooh)
It's rolling into one

If had answers, no one listens
I won't get down with that system
We won't run away, lifelong prison
Life's too short to leave it to the
Theory tells me if we wait here
My own story serves the waitress
Fool as a plate gets, empty questions
Something I can't stomach

Dress me down like naked clones that
Shared their soap for cheap romantics
Bless the antics, where you knew the intelligence
So as you love, it's all or nothing
Show some grace or mind my loving
Souls keep swimming against the current
Show me what love is

Show me what love is
Show me what love is

Ooh, I'm asking permission for where it stands, stands
I don't know where to hide when said and done
Takes more than you'll ever understand
It's rolling into one
Ooh, I'm asking permission for where it stands, stands
I don't know where to hide when said and done
(Ooh ooh) takes more than you'll ever understand
(Ooh ooh)
It's rolling into one

Tell me can you hear
Messages are turned up loud
Struggling to move through the open crowd
Finding an oasis
Reasons you had stayed about
Thinking it was time for some answers now

Woke up on the wrong side
Feel victim of a slow night
Try to breathe, but the pain in my chest won't go by
Stand up, I'll be alright
Just fishing for an alibi
Try to leave, but the voice in my head won't stay quiet

Downstairs to a dark room
Feel the light of the full moon
In a place, where I'm finding an angel in you
I'm scared, I'm finding it's lonely
I'm finding it's always on me

Tell me can you hear
Messages are turned up loud
Struggling to move through the open crowd
Finding an oasis
Reasons you had stayed about
Thinking it was time for some answers now

I'm up and away
Feel victim of a long stay
Try to speak, but the sound of my voice ain't fail safe
I'm scared, I'm finding it's lonely
I'm finding it's always on me

Tell me can you hear
Messages are turned up loud
Struggling to move through the open crowd
Finding an oasis
Reasons you had stayed about
Thinking it was time for some answers now

What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason, you ask of me?
What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason?

What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason, you ask of me?
What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason?

Tell me can you hear
Messages are turned up loud

Finding an oasis
Reasons you had stayed about

Tell me can you hear
Messages are turned up loud

What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason, you ask of me?
What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason?

What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason, you ask of me?
What's the reason, that I can't leave?
Is it treason?

Doesn't this seem like a wildfire
See that burning bridge right through the mirror
Doesn't it make you realize
Only you can keep this flame alight

You know I'm not ready for you
Yet you ask me for forgiveness
You said you got something to prove
So you target when I'm weakest

I hope it gets easier
I hope things get better
I'm hoping for many things
But many things don't last
No, they don't last forever

Doesn't this seem like a wildfire
See that burning bridge right through the mirror
Doesn't it make you realize
Only you can keep this flame alight

I carry the weight of the world
Getting worn down by the burden
Stay married to your own self
Seems like nothing ever hurts ya

I hope it gets easier
I hope things get better
I'm hoping for many things
But many things don't last
No, they don't last forever

Doesn't this seem like a wildfire
See that burning bridge right through the mirror
Doesn't it make you realize
Only you can keep this flame alight

Doesn't this seem like a wildfire
See that burning bridge right through the mirror
Doesn't it make you realize
Only you can keep this flame alight

I'm not the type to let it go
Holding on for more of you
Not more of meaning, I suppose
Devour me slowly
Set foot underneath the flame, now up in smoke
Pay me back like it's always in my control
I jump on this race horse
Devour me slowly

Doesn't this seem like a wildfire
See that burning bridge right through the mirror
Doesn't it make you realize
Only you can keep this flame alight

Doesn't this seem like a wildfire

The grass is always greener when the fields all mine
And I'll lose my hero's journey as the years gone by
And the stories still unwritten, there's no sense of time
Oh my, oh my

I live out alone, no room for yourself
I'm trying to focus, it's my story to tell
I'm human as well (as well), well (as well), well (as well)
I'm human as well (as well), well (as well), well (as well)

And I'm running round in circles
Flying high above the ground
And I'm searching out the echoes
And the signs, of who we are
Who we are

I've seen a lot of danger coming round my way
Finding love in every moment, hope it's not too late
And the stories now unfolding once upon a time
Oh my, oh my

I live out alone, no room for yourself
I'm trying to focus, it's my story to tell
I'm human as well (as well), well (as well), well (as well)
I'm human as well (as well), well (as well), well (as well)

And I'm running round in circles
Flying high above the ground
And I'm searching out the echoes
And the signs, of who we are
Who we are

(Who we are)
Would you kindly tell me
(Who we are)
Trying to find the reasons for
Who we are
Someday we'll know it all

I'm hoping for a good look
I'm hoping there's some real change coming
We praying for a lost cause
When we are told, we are not all welcome

You asked me for the real thing
I'm short on telling everyone nothing
My memories will only fade

When we lose our control it seems
That this is a fantasy
Or a projection of anticipated memory
It's all in my hands to find a way
To lead me out of this place
For one last final time

Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me
Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me

We talked about it years ago
We sat upon a hill of frustration
It's never been like this before
Now it all seems that we're not all welcome

I tell myself another lie
That it will all seem to get better
But now it's just and eye for an eye

When we lose our control it seems
That this is a fantasy
Or a projection of anticipated memory
It's all in my hands to find a way
To lead me out of this place
For one last final time

Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me
Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me

Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me
Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me

Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me
Just you wait and see
This time is coming for you and me

So come and sit with me
How does this taste?
Not like you had hoped

Now that you taste the leaves
There's history in bitterness, you know

Sit down, and look around
The bamboo at our feet from years ago

Tied down beneath the sea
The package drifts away
For all we know, know

Warmth inside an ancient frame
Tell me does it feel the same?
Ooh, the belly of the storm became
Enriched but it served you more

Lie here to taste the morning
Flowers in this place
Tell me how do you feel, feel

Your breath escapes the cup
But scales down to the lake
Now we're falling asleep, sleep

Warmth inside an ancient frame
Tell me does it feel the same?
Ooh, the belly of the storm became
Enriched but it served you more

Am I fit for consumption
Have we forfeit the need of pleasure
It surrounds me by the edges
You understand?

Am I fit for consumption
Have we forfeit the need of pleasure
It surrounds me by the edges

I've been looking for a reason
I've been holding on for more
I want something to believe in
Cause I've lived like this too long

Let the light shine down on me
Down on me
Oh to speak
Salvation cries aloud for me
She waits to see it closely
And down by the river

Mmm all for, that place we've all been fighting on
Await the tales of encore
And soulful resolution

But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way

I've been waiting years to hold you
But we keep on passing by
I walk the streets in silence
In silence, searching through the night

Let the light shine down on me
Down on me
Oh to speak
Salvation cries aloud for me
She waits to see it closely
And down by the river

Mmm all for, that place we've all been fighting on
Await the tales of encore
And soulful resolution

But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way, forcing my way

I'm trying to find the words to say
To send me on my way to you

Oh to speak
Salvation cries aloud for me
She waits to see it closely
And down by the river

Mmm all for, that place we've all been fighting on
Await the tales of encore
And soulful resolution

But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way

Oh, we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way out
But we can't see clearly now
I'm forcing my way

I believe in something special
I believe in trust
I believe in us

I believe in my tradition
I believe there's love
I believe in us

I'm aware there's no tomorrow
I'm aware of yesterday
It's the sound you make

'Cause I know there's history
Let it seep through all of this misery

So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try

So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try

I believe in something special
I believe in trust
I believe in us

I believe in my tradition
I believe there's love
I believe in us

I'm aware there's no tomorrow
I'm aware of yesterday
It's the sound you make

'Cause I know there's history
Let it seep through all of this misery

So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try

So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try

So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try

So sing with me this lullaby
You can't say we don't try
