Busy Bodies

Busy bodies and those bumbling bees
Too divided nothing quite as it seems
Shake the earth it’ll make them drop to their knees
Pray for the day that’ll bring an end to the greed
Souls being stifled in this ethos of want
Got a dollar but no pennies for your thoughts
Watch it shiver until the breaking has come
The chorus will bellow what the hell, what the hell have we done
A little bit jaded
Your fast track has faded
Polite but you hate it
You see but it’s shaded
Alive but today is
A walk through the mazes
You bleat through the phases
All clear then it hazes
In the meadow by the Betula tree
In the meadow by the Betula tree
In the meadow by the Betula tree
A little bit jaded
Your fast track has faded
Polite but you hate it
You see but it’s shaded
Alive but today is
A walk through the mazes
You bleat through the phases
All clear then it hazes
In the meadow by the Betula tree
In the meadow by the Betula tree

Elevate

I’ve been chasing shadows lately
Gotta see some change for good
Get tied in knots too easy
So I run cuz I think I should
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
I’ve said that you’re the problem
The same thing every time
I’ve got to face the baggage that I hold
Is clearly mine
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
It comes like a kamikaze
Another wreck I’m sifting through
Why do I ignore all the warnings
Can’t blame another mess on you
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Well I see it burn to ash now
God I always feel so strung
But I keep finding my peace
The more the bullshit comes undone
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Keep losing who I am as I try to fit your plan
Don’t know which me to be, what should I believe
Can’t seem to find a way, right here seems fine today
I get to bored too quick, I’m making myself sick
Can’t seem to find a way, right here seems fine today
I get to bored too quick, I’m making myself sick
Can’t seem to find a way, right here seems fine today
Wait no let it go let it go let it go now
Too slow cut it up chuck it out and I show how
No, no not gonna gonna cause more shit
Go, go gotta be a bit better than this
Wait no let it go let it go let it go now
Too slow cut it up chuck it out and I show how
No, no not gonna gonna cause more shit
Go, go gotta be a bit better than this
Keep losing who I am as I try to fit your plan
Don’t know which me to be, what should I believe
Can’t seem to find a way, right here seems fine today
I get to bored too quick, I’m making myself sick
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate
Gotta elevate, gotta elevate

Gave It A Chance
04:58

I want you
till I know
I got you held tight
I’m done when
you show me
I got you all night
I think what
I want is
more wholesome than this
I’m sad when
I’m lonely
but with you I’m vicious
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
I want you
‘till I see
there’s better out there
The walls start
to close and
I know I can’t bare
The thought that
you’ll hurt me
so I push you away
I want what
I cant have
so dont leave please stay
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
I’m kind till
I’m bored and
the pressure builds up
Expect something more and
the end will be rough
Give one
more day one
more time then we’re done
Now that it’s over
after you I run
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance

Get You Out
03:45
|

Could be better off, getting there I got a start
Learn to trust my gut, intuition was shut up
And up I go no need to show you, just got to show myself
I is gorgeous, got to adore this, I be good to my soul
Bought a promise ring, not for you it’s all for me
Remind me to be good, serve my hear the way I should
Can’t be this broken toy no longer, not treating myself right
It’s my fault I let it linger past when loving to fights
Get you out, go your way, why you try, no you can’t stay
Bye-bye now, you were gone before, I hope you know now I strong for sure
Feel the heat inside building up it feel alright
A me you may not like, no restraints I cut the ties
I’m feeding all the part of me that I have foolishly denied
It sure it ain’t easy but my god it’s for me and for now I’m doing fine
Get you out, go your way, why you try, no you can’t stay
Bye-bye now, you were gone before, I hope you know now I strong for sure
Get you out, get you out

Sick And Sold
04:33
|

It started up and it was not the thing we hoped that it would be
They promise big when set to win it falls apart we feel the hit
Heart
Keep to hope but where to run our movement small when left to one
A system said to keep us safe use fear to aid the power chase
Heart Heart
We didn’t need all this and we don’t need it now
Such a waste of life we have to make it up somehow
See what we do don’t change a thing it all get fixed don’t need to think
Hope for truth can’t see the lie watch the haze fill up the sky
Look straight ahead the blinders on when they come off the best is gone
Run ahead to chase a dream eyes open wide too crippling
Can’t make it right
We didn’t need all this and we don’t need it now
Such a waste of life we have to make it up somehow
We didn’t need all this and we don’t need it now
Such a waste of life we have to make it up somehow
Keep being told to live with heart
Keep being told to live with heart
Live with heart
Live with heart
It’s time to take care of ourselves
Too easy to consume and ignore our health
It’s time to look after the soul
Not waste away and wake up sick and sold

It’s better than it’s ever been

Universal love from the flesh to the core

Keep On Breathing
04:28
|
|||
Speculation had me drowning
Fearing what would come to pass
Whether I’d succeed or not
In what’s perceived as excellence
Lost in the stories I’ve written
Hazy visions of the past
Truth resides in the air I breathe
And that breath is gone too fast
So what I gonna do now
What I gonna do now
Gotta be where I am not too late
Can’t focus on what’s coming my way
Right here’s gotta be where I say
What I gonna do now
So what I gonna do now
What I gonna do now
Gotta be where I am not too late
Can’t focus on what’s coming my way
Right here’s gotta be where I say
What I gonna do now
Keep on breathing
You’ve been holding that breathe
Keep on breathing
Till that kiss of death
Keep on breathing
You’ve been holding that breathe
Keep on breathing
Till that kiss of death
So what I gonna do now
What I gonna do now
Gotta be where I am not too late
Can’t focus on what’s coming my way
Right here’s gotta be where I say
What I gonna do now
So what I gonna do now
What I gonna do now
Gotta be where I am not too late
Can’t focus on what’s coming my way
Right here’s gotta be where I say
What I gonna do now
So what I gonna do now
Keep on breathing
You’ve been holding that breathe
Keep on breathing
Till that kiss of death
Keep on breathing
You’ve been holding that breathe
Keep on breathing
Till that kiss of death

Rambling Mind
05:20
|
|||
I find I focus on things that don’t last
I try I try to grasp hold of that past
Holding a burden that I can’t control
She worn out and weary my wandering soul
Shake up the dust and beneath you will find
Chaos that’s left from a rambling mind
Sway me like the wind moves the trees
Close my eyes and I’ll bend with ease
Speak to me without your words
I’ll be your for now if you leave when it starts to hurt
Starts to hurt, starts to hurt
Starts to hurt, starts to hurt
Starts to hurt, starts to hurt
Starts to hurt
Shake up the dust and beneath you will find
Chaos that’s left from a rambling mind
Sway me like the wind moves the trees
Close my eyes and I’ll bend with ease
Speak to me without your words
I’ll be your for now if you leave when it starts to hurt
Starts to hurt, starts to hurt
Starts to hurt, starts to hurt
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end
Move through me, touch my limbs, feel the warmth, embrace the end

Elba Vancouver, British Columbia
Elba is a collaboration between producer/engineer Dark Arps (Jon Bierman) and singer/songwriter amsii (Amber Sawicki). Sawicki's orations elate the body and soul, while her lyrics tap into the zeitgeist of urban decay presently unfolding amidst late-stage capitalism. Her vision imbues Bierman's technically sophisticated techno-tinged breakbeats with an elevated pop sensibility. ... more
