Breathing city breathing
In my kitchen, with the angels
Comes the breathing through the window
Smoke and smog and cars gone by
Of the singing in the morning
I can hear the weight of thunder
Clouds are clumping, clouds are weighing
In the ceiling, on a sigh
By the afternoon the churning
Of the public in my stomach
Comes together, and it gathers
Spilling out into the sky
In the city, in the evening
I can feel my loved one breathing
Twisting, dreaming, spinning, churning,
Fall to resting, by my side

Why Are We Waiting

Why are we waiting
What do we fear
Hallucinating
Fictional frontiers
We could be building
Our words our dust
We could raise Heaven
If we could trust
Why are we waiting
What do we fear
No hesitation
Nightfall is so near
We are the lumen
We don't die down
Fickle but human
Death is our crown
Why are we waiting
What do we fear
No sense in hating
Devils we hold dear
I found a candle
Deep in your well
Words couldn't handle
Truth shadows tell
We could raise Heaven
Our words our dust
Would it be better
To fade or to combust
Why are we waiting
What do we fear
Illuminating
Worlds that are so queer

No Luck, No Love

No luck, no love
Nothing but the thought of you
There's nowhere left to run
Now I'm hooked up on your taboo
No luck, no love
Nothing but the sight of you
Big push, little shove
Wait to see what I'm going to do
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
No luck, no love
Nothing but the breath of you
Too close, far enough
Give me give me something to chew
No luck, no love
Nothing but the thrill of you
You shot down from above
Break me, and make me up new
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
No luck, no love
Nothing but the taste of you
I feel you in my blood
Ask me now what I'm going to do
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na

I felt the
Fire of the bomb in Beirut like the devil's tongue
Watched the ones in Gaza fly as people tore up Ferguson
Listened to my father lose his mind in the U.S.A.
Better place to raise the kids, that's what the colonized would say
In NYC I noticed that my lovers felt his isolation
Skyscrapers inspired me to rise above a nation
Outside, the house was broken, so I built a home within me
Thought I needed refuge so I went and built myself a city
تخيل الله

خلق الله
كن واحداً مع الله
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
When the sun touches desert sand
I drink the oasis, drink it out of my hand
And when the heat's too much to bear
I hold the oasis, hold water lighter than air
And when all dripping words are damned
I hear the oasis, hear it deep in the sand
And when the world seems harsh and bare
I find the oasis, an ocean for us to share
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
I feel the
Heat of a California summer outside
And I know, in my heart, that there's nowhere left to hide
That's why I built a city in my mind
It's a broken place, but it's broken by design
A kaleidoscope of places I had dared to call my home
Sacred with the love of people I had known
An eternal city with a crisis every century
Gives me the walls to draw strength from ancient memory
تخيل الله

كن واحداً مع الله

اينك قلبي
اين رايحا من دوني
سافرت في طريق غادم
If you follow, I will lead
You know
I wish we didn't have to go
Hey love
It's not so bad
I don't want to see you look too sad
It all ends except for love
And that's what the world is made of
You know
I wish I didn't have to go
لحظة حبيبي
عطيني قلبي
أو إرجاع لي
خدني معك أخذ شمع
في الفجرالكذب
و رجعك مي
I will
Be okay
Promise I won't drink the night away
Inti aatini nar
Leizim rouh, I'll carry it far
You know
I wish you didn't have to go
You carry a torch
You carry a flame
From your great, great grandma
To the youngest babe
Yes it's messy, it's dark, it's queer
In the night we hold it dear
We know
This light can make us move and grow
لحظة حبيبي
عطيني قلبي
أو إرجاع لي
خدني معك أخذ شمع
في الفجرالكذب
و رجعك مي

تاركني و رايح وين يا حبيبي
وحظي ونصيبي، حظي ونصيبي
تاركني و رايح حظي ونصيبي
