(chorus) I will do what I, can for you, not much to say but I’ll pray cuz the gods have a, plan for you promise them you’ll make it thru the day and I know, you got a long way to go, viajes el camino, el camino x 2 but if it gets too rough you can just take it slow catch me at the function tryna do a line of some melange spice in ya device Florida water in my bag on some solange cuz I spray it don’t say it I was born by the river but I try to keep it wavy cuz my god got a durag on I wade into the water wearing red and black Maybe hold my breath a bit too long cuz I dunno if I wanna come back, but still I rise, I know the tide won’t hold me so why am I imprisoned by what mortal men have sold me? because I’m, tall and tan and young and lovely I gotta remember that on da days I'm feelin ugly I still got times it feels like there is no one that could love me but I know dat my ancestors do below and so above me Elegua I salute you as the owner and the elder of the crossroad, Orfeu Negro come straight out da grotto if you ride wit Guayaba win da underworld lotto you only live once don’t look back dat’s da motto (chorus reprise)

Killing Jar 03:20
I try to remain unfazed as I; stumble through a mystical daze and I’ve been counting the repetitive days I’ve spent avoiding myself altogether I just needed a little bit of your attention but I think that I’ve maybe forgotten to mention the reason why I knew you’d hurt me, yeah, I used to dissect myself all on my own cut me open insert me; into your collection can’t do it alone all I can do is try to make sure that I don’t turn into something I can't deny I don’t want to be for you for you, for anyone especially not me, oh god, what have I done I’m running out of time I’m losing sight of what drew me to your unholy light and I fear that I have strayed too far I think that I am inside your killing jar fluttering….fluttering fluttering….. Guayaba’s up late again, not gonna deny it I been contemplating my fate again, close my eyes count to ten, maybe one day I can spread my wings without pain again, but then who would I have to blame, for burning myself upon unruly candleflame, I haven’t learned anything, so thats why I suffer why everything stays the same mount me on your wall, la muñeca I’m your doll but I might just break ya shelf, cuz I’m the biggest one of all, but you knew allodat that goin in, like me a lot but you won’t tell your friends, maybe you’ll try to make amends, but you deprived me of oxygen (chorus) you stuck your filthy pins in me and you hollowed out my body and you stuffed me full of cotton and now my heart is growing rotten

I take my time to close my eyes I am afraid of what I might see on the other side I, mourn in the morning and fall asleep in the evening and awake in the darkness where I can no longer hide

Sanguijuela 02:51

I am the black unicorn, an I can feel this body dying all around me only kept alive by the love of all of the people I let surround me yes they ground me, and dug me from my tomb and shook off the dust sometimes I wish they’d put me back where they found me its afterlife or bust I am of a nightbreed, stay fed n fat off o’ dat wild seed, big fledgling still ain’t left the nest a bloodchild I let dat nightbleed, 5th dimension aquarius double dog dare ya to give into mystic vision revelations and; let the terror wash over you become renewed you might like the sensation I tried to be a healer but I’m more like a death doula I’ll lay ya down to rest after a visit from my jeweler who keep me lookin nice an icy he might be a mortician you gotta view da body doe its a family tradition x2 I dream cuz Death Rules Everything Around Me, an I pray that I’m still hiding and the the devil hasn’t found me with the braided hair of ancestors skin blistered when they bound me if guayaba die a martyr know that in the end I fly free, a lock of hair in a locket always kept safe in your pocket, twisted and wispy and woven together to help you remember , but you cannot stop it, where do the memories go when you’re all alone feeling like no one can save you I pray, you give all of blessings to your bloodline never forget the sacrifices they made (chorus) and know that in the corner of ya vision I will be there, dat black dog, perro negro el cadejo in the ether, beautiful destroyer child of oya and a teacher never cross them cuz he’ll put a sword thru all that may beseech her all that may beseech her

I wait for night to fall to light the candle and let it burn for 7 days to let it reach your name, then I blow out the flame, and hope that you’re in pain wherever you lay D U M E Death Unto My Enemies I wanna see you in misery writhing on the ground in front of me, you deserve it for all that you’ve done to me, and I think this curse will be fun for me you are the reason that I lie awake at night staring at the corners of my room, I haven’t forgotten I will make this right I put my trust in the candle of doom I open the doors to hell but you already know them well queme hasta el nombre apaga la vela and now only time will tell you don’t deserve happiness my sins revenge I confess I know you might think a mess but baby you deserve nothing less I lay my weapons down my fear and my anger I give it all I give it all to you the gods are on my side and I’m stronger than you’ll ever be D U M E

Sunday is gloomy My hours are slumberless Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers Will never awaken you Not where the black coach Of sorrow has taken you Angels have no thoughts Of ever returning you Would they be angry If I thought of joining you Gloomy Sunday Gloomy is Sunday With shadows I spend it all My heart and I Have decided to end it all Soon there'll be candles And prayers that are said I know Let them not weep Let them know that I'm glad to go Death is no dream For in death I'm caressin' you With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessin' you Gloomy Sunday Dreaming, I was only dreaming I wake and I find you asleep In the deep of my heart here Darling I hope That my dream never haunted you My heart is tellin' you How much I wanted you Gloomy Sunday

Portrait by Una Blue














I would like to thank Eric Padget for facilitating this project and making it possible. It would not have been completed without their hard work and belief in the process. Many thanks to WOLFTONE for his incredible production and patience, and to Fish Narc for sending a beat remotely and trusting me with it. Thank you to to Lori Goldsten, and Michaud Savage for their instrumental prowess and willingness to bring this album to a different level. Many thanks to Ed Brooks, whose mastering wizardry brought the finishing touches needed to make this album everything I could ever ask for. Thank you for the psychic eye of Una Blue and their amazing portraiture and for making me feel more confident in the visuals for the album. Thank you to Yasmin and Rachel Hug for their infinite kindness, ability to bring peace of mind, and for the organic bananas. Thank you to Desi for her vocal input and being a purring stress releiver, may she rest in peace. I would also not have been able to have had the willpower to complete this project without the encouragement of Wolfgang Ratzlaff, Dani Witherspoon, Peter Dyer, Adria Garcia, Christine Rodriques, the hospitality of the Fortress and the endless support of the people in my life who check on me, who support me, and who lift me up when I feel as though I can’t go on. I thank the Orisha, who guided me through this process and who held my head high when I felt it wasn’t worth completing; Elegua, Obatala, Oya, Oshun, Yemaya, Ogun, Shango; thank you for looking over me. Thank you to my ancestors for looking over me. This album is for the living and for the dead.
