She asked him for his weakness, and he lied, he lied
So he told her that he loved her and she tried, she tried
to use his love against him, to bring him to his knees
but she could not make him answer, the man like Hercules
But then, one day, he told her, the truth that made love real,
so she grabbed herself a sciccors and she cut herself a deal

CHORUS
But, the power was not in Samson’s mighty hair
The power was in his heart, so Delilah, you beware
The walls will come down to the ground while you sit back and stare,
”˜cuz the power was not in Samson’s mighty hair


He asked his God for mercy, “What have I done, what have I done?
I let that woman cut my hair, I let her be the one
who took away my power, and took my faith to hell”
But, in that final hour, he broke that witch’s spell
The walls came down to the ground while everybody sat back and stared,
“Cuz the power was not in Samson’s mighty hair.

CHORUS

You ask me for my weakness, and I lied, I lied
And I told you that I loved you, so you tried, you tried
To use my love against me, to bring me to my knees,
But you’ll never make me answer, ”˜cuz your love was built to tease me
And then you’ll never find out the truth that makes love real
And there will never be no sciccors, and there will never be no deal

Now there’s something in the apple she gave me
there’s something in her way that says she’ll save me, so bravely
I take my first bite
the world spins around and I lose my sight,
so I’m hoping that gravity will find me
and put me on the ground and then unwind me — remind me
not to eat again, but when I look into her eyes, my whole life I’ll spend

(CHORUS)
with the apples
I’m hanging out with the apples

Now, there’s something in my ribs that’s aching
when I looked into her eyes, was it real or faking? I’m making
too much of this, but there is something in her apple that I simply can’t resist
I insist on a list of ingredients, ”˜cuz there is something in her apple that makes me think obedience, I pledge allegiance like the snake in which SHE charmed,
though she tries to act defenseless, she is clever and well armed

(CHORUS)

And now I’ve lost my way back to the garden
each time I gain directions, I want to discard them, beg your pardon
do you know the way back?
well, if you do, don’t tell me now — I want another snack
I can’t believe my mind has been shaking,
moving black to white to back to front to clean this mess I’m making, mistaking
my heart for my mind
”˜cuz when I ask myself a question, multiple choice is what I find — I designed
a method to be free,
but I threw it out the window, ”˜cuz I just wanna be

(CHORUS)]]> http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#19 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Atlanta's Soul Pop Funk Band - Wabi Sabi - Lyrics http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#18 words and music by Damian Cartier

Just when I closed my eyes, she appeared
From the minute I stopped looking, I now could hear
Something in the distance that felt so near
Something in her presence that made life clear

CHORUS
So put on my chips on red,
Take all my money, give me her instead.
”˜Cuz now I’m living in style.
Since I made lady luck smile.

When I opened my eyes, she was there
She was looking like my woman, so I just stared
She said all the winning numbers were in her hand
Well, she had all the winning numbers, but she had no man.
And I can’t understand why.

CHORUS

Well, I tripped on a black cat, fell under a ladder,
Had a mirror in my pocket, when it broke, I heard it shatter,
Had a bad case of bad luck and slipped on a banana,
Stepped on a crack and met a devil from Savannah,
and the salt that I spilled on my food just made me fatter —
but, now it doesn’t really even matter..

Since I made Lady Luck smile
Since I made Lady Luck smile”¦]]> http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#18 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Atlanta's Soul Pop Funk Band - Wabi Sabi - Lyrics http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#17 words and music by Damian Cartier


Sweet Marijuana, they keep you from me
I really want to help set you free
Now I am going to help people see
You’re just a tree
So let you be

I can’t plant that seed (Legalize the Weed)
God is in that tree (Legalize the Weed)
Why can’t I be free? (Legalize the Weed)
Help everybody see (Legalize the Weed)

People are used to so many lies
So we must be truthful and open their eyes (like a child)
God’s gifts are useful (At least for the wise)
We realize — They energize]]> http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#17 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Atlanta's Soul Pop Funk Band - Wabi Sabi - Lyrics http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#16 words and music by damian Cartier

There’s another place in time where you weren’t even on my mind
your hair was dirty and danced upon — but now those dancing days are gone
I’m here to tell you love is wrong — if you love me, my life goes on and on and on”¦
”˜cuz there’s another place in time, where you weren’t even on my mind

you ain’t even on my mind

now it’s a bright and cloudless day — and the wind has come out to play
here’s the hope I hoped to find — my mind is free and so’s my time
”˜cuz I can’t wait until tomorrow — if I want that day today
and what’s the point in all this sorrow if yesterday has gone away?

you ain’t even on my mind

now it’s another lonely night — I’m with myself and that’s alright
my head is dirty and some say gone (gone, gone, gone)
but my heart is sturdy and so, so , strong
and if it breaks, at least I tried — to get your damn self off my mind”¦]]> http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#16 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Atlanta's Soul Pop Funk Band - Wabi Sabi - Lyrics http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#15 words and music by damian cartier


(CHORUS)

you look good
good enough to eat
but noone sinks their teeth into a fuzzy plastic peach
you feel good
a superficial treat
but what’s the point of living, when you life is out of reach?
you’re inedible (you’re inedible)
you fuzzy plastic peach


you’re not real
and the magazines tell you just how to feel
”˜cuz a salad is your supper,
and a mirror is your meal
but it always leave you hungry, and it never helps you heal, but you look good...

(CHORUS)

you want a man
with leather shoes and gold cards in his hand
he showers you with good looks and his deep delicious tan,
but he leaves before the moon does
and you never understand, that you look good....

(CHORUS)

you’ve got to go to hell, just to get the hell away
4X

and when you’re dead
an empty grave might be your final bed
you’ll find your lifelong purpose as the worms crawl through your head,
then you’ll finally come to dinnner, but you’ll be the food instead,
”˜cuz you’ll look good...

You are not responsible for every dream that fell between my hopes like sand through broken hourglass.
And you are not convictable for every crime that locked me up and kept me in a room inside my past.
But, Please, Rescue Me.
He laughed and said, "well, I am just a criminal. I'll steal your heart and sell it for some piece of mind, but if only I could change"
I said, "Beneath the subliminal, you're asking me to blow your mind to pieces, and then desist all the pain."
And then he said, "Please, Rescue Me."

Well the siren's getting louder, but my heart still makes a sound.
So I feel there may be hope for me.
'Cuz my pulse is getting fast, and I've caught my breath at last,
And it looks as if I now can see...

That we are not responsible for every line that tied us up 'cuz since that time we both have made a change.
So, make me invincible, from all those times that you gave up on hope just 'cuz the love felt out of range..
And in the meantime,
Please, Rescue Me]]> http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#14 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Atlanta's Soul Pop Funk Band - Wabi Sabi - Lyrics http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#13 words and music by Damian Cartier

No one can stop the rain from falling
no one can stop you girl from changing your mind
no one can ever replace this feeling
but if you don’t care you don’t care and I’m wasting my time

moving on to a brighter blessing
moving on to a lighter piece of mind
losing a few of my possessions
but if I don’t care, I don’t care ”˜cuz I’m tasting my time

well, my time is now delicious ”˜cuz I’m granting all my wishes
other fishes, other kisses, other this is not my missus right now
(she’s ms. right now)
”˜cuz I’ve got to find devotion, meaning put myself in motion,
other potions, other oceans, can I grow some true emotion somehow?

somehow I knew I had to be here
somehow I know I’ll get my soul to shine
28 years to finally see clear
and in 28 years I’ll be here with just half of my time..]]> http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#13 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Atlanta's Soul Pop Funk Band - Wabi Sabi - Lyrics http://wabisabi.ws/news.html#12 words and music by damian cartier

you’ve been hurt, wounded, and let down
no matter how i try i always say the same damn thing
i feel like dirt, and ruined by this meltdown
i always hear the answer, but after the buzzer rings

(CHORUS)
SO MOVE ON, MOVE ON, MOVE ON
AND GO COMPLETE YOURSELF
MOVE ON, MOVE ON, MOVE ON
AND FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO TREAT YOU BETTER
MOVE ON, MOVE ON,
BUT PLEASE REMEMBER
I’D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, I’D EVEN LET YOU GO
I’D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, I’D EVEN LET YOU GO

now, i’ve been tired and drinking and nowhere
no doubt about it, you shoulda been long since gone
but, now i’m fired up, and thinking, and so there
it’s such a shame i wasn’t like this all along

(CHORUS)

maybe next time i’ll do better
maybe next time i’ll get it right
and i’ll think of you from now ”˜til forever
and i hope that we won’t ever have to fight

”˜cuz you’ve been shoved, mistreated, but so kind
anytime you leave, i make you come back for more
but you need love and sweetnes and sunshine
and i really hope you find what you’re looking for

I am not here. I don’t exist
Until I hear some movement from your lips
I am not well, I cannot hear
the phone is still asleep next to my ear.

CHORUS
And the wolf is really here this time
But I fear you do not care that I’m not lyin’
I’m not lyin’
Little boy cries true love.
True Love

My hands are up, the flag is high
If you’re looking for surrender, I’m your guy
”˜Cuz you’re my way, and you’re my song
and you are every single answer I guessed wrong..

CHORUS

and the phone is still asleep next to my ear”¦

So I will wait, and I will call
And I will run around in circles on my wall
Said I will wait”¦I had to call
It’s either that or just do nothing at all..
