Heartstings 06:27
I remember when it all came so easy seemed so simple just to leave it all behind I grew my locks and I left for the ocean to fade away in to the sunsets of my mind little to fear till it took me away again instead of taking me home I couldn’t believe that all that I’d tried had only left me all alone Freedom nothing left to lose reborn in the water wash away the tears there’s a limit on how much we can carry but if we fall it seems there’s never far to go I feel the earth and I know she receives me bringing me back to what I always seemed to know gave it to me, took it away, but still we found a way to survive strange as it seems, all of the pain is just a way of feeling alive Freedom nothing left to lose reborn in the water wash away the tears Looking out of my window this morning world is turning and it’s blurring all the lines from the moment we consider our places giving thanks praises for the peaceful times speaking for me, speaking for you I can’t decide if I’m losing my sight darker we go the deeper I know the shadow’s there because of the light Freedom nothing left to lose reborn in the water wash away the tears

Free Today 04:00
Everybody gonna hurt sometimes sometimes its more than others we all need time to heal you can't keep under cover feels like we’re all alone and all we see are strangers looking in the mirror still can seem the biggest danger Don’t wait now it’s slipping away you've got to get yourself free today Doesn’t matter who you are you still are only human we suffer as the price of growth that much is proven been down this road before beat down with weary footsteps a thousand came before but still we miss the exit Don’t wait now it’s slipping away you've got to get yourself free today some things are easy love but things of worth can weigh us still searching for the way simplicity betrays us

Dawn Again 04:52
Oh look it’s dawn again might be time for the night to end and I could use some sleep but I don’t want to lose this mystery It’s such a fleeting thing you know exactly what I mean can’t get too far away without these shadows coming into play Don’t wait too long for nothing it will surely come your way there you stay running from the break of day waiting for the answer I know we’ve played before but are these games and nothing more I’d like to find a way to love you without asking you to stay Don’t know just what I found just that the sky is turning round and now it’s dawn again must be time for the night to end Deep down you know there’s something that can make this all give way there you stay waiting for the break of day looking for the answer There were so many days when I didn’t feel the strength to say how much I needed change you loved me but you didn’t want the same It took some looking in and I never thought the pain could end and still I found a way to keep my love while giving it away Deep down I know there’s something that can make this all give way here we stay waiting for the break of day looking for the answer

All we see is separation ruins or foundation of a possibility if there is an edge we stand upon it trying not choke on the irony there was a gift in the darkness though we may never pass this way again we couldn’t see in the sunlight eyes were blinded by a thousand suns now you’re drawing lines making prisons of our minds concepts so undefined attacking me and my kind but thats just fine cause we’ve already broke out of our cages and we’re not blind at all and its about time for babylon to fall blinded by my hesitation hard to see we all have parts to play lost and found in the echoes of my life and yet you reach me from so far away and we search without following and follow without searching though we never seem to stop the wheel trapped in a prison of internal vision as if you were the only one who knows how it feels now you’re drawing lines making prisons of our minds concepts so undefined attacking me and my kind but thats just fine cause we’ve already broke out of our cages and we’re not blind at all and its about time for babylon to fall Facing this divided nation why is it so hard to see that we’re all the same there is an edge we stand upon it trying not drown in the endless sea how can there be communication when nobody can understand always fighting with yourself alone and shadows only creep at dawn now you’re drawing lines making prisons of our minds concepts so undefined attacking me and my kind but thats just fine cause we’ve already broke out of our cages and we’re not blind at all and its about time for babylon to fall

I don’t mean to be intense I’m only trying to be honest it gets so difficult to see in such a bright and shining place and in the morning I am empty stripped of my illusions and my pride I can’t help but take your hand and hold you gently as we walk outside And the pain is real only some of these days only some of these days only some of these days It’s never easy to admit that all we really have is fleeting I want so much to make believe that I can always understand and in the meantime I am empty no not in sadness, not it grief I can’t help but see the truth feel so grateful just to find relief Because the pain is real only some of these days only some of these days only some of these days It’s funny how so many years can seem to blend into this moment so many joys so many fears and yet it seems I’m standing still catch a flicker in the distance betraying things they are not what they seem and like anew I sit awake and try and understand these crazy dreams And why the pain is real only some of these days only some of these days only some of these days

It was a mystery, hidden until we did it now we’re livin it givin it with no limit find the infinite hidden within the minute it’s what this knowledge was giving from the beginning Are we living to struggle with indecision? when there’s unity hidden within division it’s a tragedy asking me for revision we keep it burning eternally with the vision Got my heart in it, living breath as my witness conscious I stand here with strength and forgiveness and within this transcend and be limitless think it’s finally time for beginning this deeper a piece of of pie a deeper slice of my introspected intersected piece of sky I’m a peaceful guy, cause it’s all gravy happy with my 2 kids and my lady and I live in the woods never keep company with drama got a house with a room for my mama not a rich man but I can say that I’ve been blessed giving up my thanks and praises and nothing less these are only words but I hope they find the mark so many of my brothers and my sisters in the dark can I shine a little, can I share a little spark can we come together knock it out of the park It was a mystery, hidden until we did it now we’re livin it givin it with no limit find the infinite hidden within the minute it’s what this knowledge was giving from the beginning Are we living to struggle with indecision? when there’s unity hidden within division it’s a tragedy asking me for revision we keep it burning eternally with the vision I got nothing on it if I fail to be honest write it down and speak it when the pain is upon us it gets hard to see and I can’t complete my circuitry blaming you for the things I do to me but the gift in the darkness is the present is the lesson return to the essence its not a message it’s just a limb and you’re out on it got to get you home with some ground you can stand on it's an easy road when you let it be as it is be positive with what it is you have to give we only live in this place for such a little while if you can’t muster a grin how about a little smile Always new with unlimited synthesis come together harmony and dissonance takes vigilance, been so conditioned to the stimulus work together keep this freedom continuous It was a mystery, hidden until we did it now we’re livin it givin it with no limit find the infinite hidden within the minute it’s what this knowledge was giving from the beginning Are we living to struggle with indecision? when there’s unity hidden within division it’s a tragedy asking me for revision we keep it burning eternally with the vision getting back with it, spent a couple years off limits sometimes we have to make a sacrifice and can’t finish I thought it was for you but it was as much for me but now there’s nothing that we can’t be got strong and healthy mind and body conquered exorcize the demons and the monsters still looking to be as free cause it’s never ending the turning of the world the night and day blending I’m certain we can find a deeper peace of mind when we finally can leave it all be behind the more I see the signs the more it’s all the same I try to keep it positive and don’t complain tend to keep my cool, stoic like a statue in a world that’s quick to throw it right back at you try to cultivate the world we want to see try a give a little when we don’t agree It was a mystery, hidden until we did it now we’re livin it givin it with no limit find the infinite hidden within the minute it’s what this knowledge was giving from the beginning Are we living to struggle with indecision? when there’s unity hidden within division it’s a tragedy asking my for revision we keep it burning eternally with the vision

Broke down the price we pay trading tomorrow for a minute today never really lose my way why does it matter if I’m miles away waiting for my time, waiting for my eyes to open can I finally find Waiting for a moment that never comes eyes on the horizon, we stumble on the sun closed off and far away feels like I’m lying in another man's grave as the years keep passing by can’t tell if everything I dreamed was a lie Waiting for a moment that never comes eyes on the horizon, we stumble on the sun after all, we always knew can’t really falter in the infinite view when it hurts to face the truth we hold each other as it all comes through waiting for my time, waiting for my eyes to open till I finally find Waiting for a moment that never comes eyes on the horizon, we stumble on the sun

Patience 03:53
Lying to ourselves so long it’s not working anymore choose an illusion either way we move we’ve heard it all before don’t mind the pain we’re waiting to be born use patience love we’re waiting to form can't really take that bait when you drop that line only feel alone when I’m gone and waiting to return don’t mind the pain we’re waiting to be born use patience love we’re waiting to form now we’re dissolving falling into one for all were losing is all that we’ve begun and we find expression in the moments in between please practice patience as if waiting to be born don’t mind the pain we’re waiting to be born use patience love we’re waiting to form so much love, so much regret why did you have to die so unbelievable and we never quite understood why

Yes Love 03:29
Yes love now we do it one time yes love now we do it two times c’mon lover now we do it all the time move with the rhythm and come with the bass line I love the way you’re moving as we pass away the night And I want to let you know that no-one else has been so right We get so elevated when we get some time alone together is so much better than being on my own I love to get so close to you, love everything you’ve got when I'm kneeling at the altar, sipping honey from the pot when its so early in the morning and you only make me ache finally when we touch its just the icing on the cake Yes love now we do it one time yes love now we do it two times c’mon lover now we do it all the time move with the rhythm and come with the bass line You know I love the evening cause it’s my time to shine and nothing is better than looking at you and knowing that you are mine all the beauty in the world we get to spend each other's time and I’ll be right down on my knees I worship at your shrine we make each other better than we’d be all on our own so much to love so much to share, nobody could have known how easy time it seems to pass whenever we're alone open up the heavens cause we are coming home Yes love now we do it one time yes love now we do it two times c’mon lover now we do it all the time move with the rhythm and come with the bass line So much pain and suffering before we came to know how easy it is to be together, still so much to grow and it's easy to overlook these things as simple as they seem but know that this is everything and know that you’re my queen

The last laugh is mine, feeling thoroughly invincible down through time living strong though this principle the power to tear it down and the power build it up the power to burn down to the ground when we’ve had enough call you crazy if you’re not like everyone else crazy when you seek a deeper part of your self alone in the depths, but not lonely at all I can be true to my self I can be true to it all void like neutron collapse and fade to black spiritual balancing act come back from off the beaten path when the odds stack and too much mental combat got you flat I’ll be right back with a life raft and bowl packed for the last laugh what is love? love is anything it is if you’re feeling it what you’re feeling is your own biz no body owns it it’s a common experience just looking for a way to convey this deeper sense I got power to spare build my mental and my physical never despair I found the balance that was critical it’s easy to say but so difficult to really do But never dismay when the divinity is really you I keep reaching for the limits cause I wanna connect never forget what it takes I can’t fake this respect try to speak the truth let my heart do the rest you know you’ve been blessed when you know you’ve been blessed and these circles and cycles its just a cosmic revival am I living my life for something more than survival It goes on and whether we’re right or wrong but the truth is we can find it was all along what is love? love is anything it is if you’re feeling it what you’re feeling is your own biz no body owns it it’s a common experience just looking for a way to convey this deeper sense I’m really speaking to myself cause I still need to hear but I’ll share it cause I know we really have the same fears getting lost in the haze when the day is not so clear shine some light when the dark is so near from heart to heart mind to mind we can share taking up the slack for a world that doesn’t care we'll clear up the air, got a world to repair all the damage done when we were so unaware not a sure thing but I guess I’ll take the gamble open up my heart, lead by example and the body and the mind train to walk the razors edge got to put the time and energy to get ahead and I’ll give thanks and praise to all those who went before looking for a way to see the light and open up the door I try to give it back whatever way I can keep giving more and try to give it back no matter what it is I’m looking for what is love? love is anything it is if you’re feeling it what you’re feeling is your own biz no body owns it it’s a common experience just looking for a way to convey this deeper sense

about

Labels never seem to fit...

Last Laugh effortlessly moves between genres. Influenced by a diverse range of artists, from Stevie Wonder to Sublime to Bob Marley, with a dose of conscious Hip-Hop to spice it up, Last Laugh shares his penchant for introspection on the latest album 'Epiphanies'.

'Epiphanies' combines laid back beats with catchy hooks and sweet harmonies. Last Laugh's vocal style is simultaneously relaxed and emotive, somewhat reminiscent at times of reggae singer Dennis Brown and singer songwriter Jack Johnson. Lyrically, 'Epiphanies' is deep yet accessible, exploring the themes of personal growth, self reflection, and communication.
