VERSE 1 Nobody move the sun the dawn is Breaking the seams undone Don’t ask me why Just button up Magical ways and means that we find To burn it down we bleed We close our minds Just hurry up CHORUS 1 And I don’t wanna run and hide I don’t wanna So I’ll just let you see me cry Tho' I don’t wanna INTRO 2 Cry, cry VERSE 2 Blood on the floor we trip and fall the Flowers have dried so sweet the smell divine I never would’ve thought to look Up in the sky the clouds are talking Telling each other to do what is right Just kill 'em all don’t waste no time Oh no CHORUS 2 And I don’t wanna run and hide I don’t wanna So I’ll just let you see me cry Tho' I don’t wanna CHORUS 3 (run and hide no more) No I don’t wanna run and hide I don’t wanna (time and space is all I need) So I’ll just let you see me cry Tho' I don’t wanna cry RAP I’m overwhelmed uh huh I said it I won’t hide it Trying to be strong for far too long When all I wanna do is cry It’s too much pressure I can’t measure My success in all these numbers all these dollars don’t make sense And still we live and die It’s too much cruelty the selfish serve themselves Without a thought for you and me, why must it be I’m going round and round All this emotion with no answer I feel anger and the sadness with no way out So that’s why the tears be falling down (no I don’t wanna run and hide) Don’t tell me That’s just the way it is accept it Unless I’ve seen you empathise I just don’t buy your lies Not everyone in power rules with our heart in mind Never forget to question you deserve a better kind (oooh oohhh oohhh) But I can’t lose myself in downward spirals Too much thought My joy and peace what I desire Is what can’t be bought Don’t get me wrong I live in love and positivity I’m looking up consistently Some time and space is all I need BRIDGE You will be fine I know it You will be fine I know it You will be fine I know it You will be fine I know it CHORUS 4 And I don’t wanna run and hide (hide) I don’t wanna So I’ll just let you see me cry (I'll let you see me cry) Tho' I don’t wanna CHORUS 5 (run and hide no more) No I don’t wanna run and hide (I don't wanna run and hide no more) I don’t wanna (Time and space is all I need) So I’ll just let you see me cry (some time and space is all that I need) Tho' I don’t wanna cry

INTRO Givin' you all I got, now I don't mean squat Treat me like a joke, and my heart be broken VERSE 1 You won't pick up the phone I know that you're at home You really wanna play that game oh You wanna be alone Fine, be that way I don't need your shit okay VERSE 2 Don't do what you'll regret I know you lost your head Nobody said that love was easy You wanna give it up What? That's so lame Wasted all my time oh babe CHORUS 1 Hey, don't you walk away Don't you walk away from me Don't you walk away Don't you walk away from me Don't you walk away Don't you walk away from me Don't you walk away Don't you walk away from me VERSE 3 I can't keep telling you (I'm oh so tired of talkin') What I think you should do We fightin' just to make it up again This is my malady I can't leave And I don't wanna be BRIDGE Givin' you all I got, now I don't mean squat Treat me like a joke, and my heart be broken So all I gotta say is RAP When we first started kicking it, I thought the world of you Showing up for me, I had no reason not to trust you Vibes on ten was amazed how we blend Nowadays I'm noticin' how you changed like a trend I don't understand Playing games, so I guess you want the upper hand But what you won't do, I guarantee another can That's a statement not a threat When you fumble with the best, you gon' leave with regrets I stayed and held you down when your pockets was low You showed me your true colors when you made some dough (money) I let you ride in my car 'round town like a star Meeting honeys at the bar while I'm giving you my all? OK One day you gon' learn what you're missing When you get lonely contact them other misses I'll be on a new wave, new man, new phase But while I'm here you gon' listen to what I gotta say CHORUS 3 Hey, don't you walk away (don't you walk away) Don't you walk away from me (I ain't done talkin' to you yet) Don't you walk away (yo you better come back here) Don't you walk away from me (I'm tellin' you) (Woo ooh hoo!) Don't you walk away Don't you walk away from me (Hey!) Don't you walk away Don't you walk away from me OUTRO Don't you walk, don't you walk, don't you walk away Don't you walk, don't you walk, don't you walk away 'Cause I got something to say (Don't you, don't you) (You better think again)

When You Do 04:44
VERSE 1 It’s funny how I wanted to Hold on to everything I knew All I knew Til it made me feel so blue, oh so blue I couldn’t see the magic and it took a while to hear the truth CHORUS 1 Just believe in you Life is better when you do Just believe in you Take it in and let it go when you do VERSE 2 It’s funny now I think it through I wish I didn’t think it through, overdo Walking the line between the heart and mind The love becomes obsession don’t let it take over too CHORUS 2 Just believe in you Life is better when you do Just believe in you Take it in and let it go when you do

Meditation 06:36
Dreaming is easy if you want it to Be the night will come to you I sleep Loving is easy if I’m here with you Next to me I long for you So deep I close my eyes I hear you We breathe And hazy is the light beside you and me Do you see what’s in front of me The space between the sun and sea Baby, don’t wake before I walk away If I go or if I stay Just lay Maybe, we’ll need to know a little more What we couldn’t know before So please I know this love could be a dream And if it’s true don’t wake me up Don’t leave Don't leave When summer fades and darkness falls Do you see what’s in front of me A shadow of who I used to be Do you see what's in front of me The space between the sun and sea

Underwater 03:50
VERSE 1 No answers in this silence I'm calling out to you I don't hear you in the darkness Have you run away too? VERSE 2 It used to be so simple To jump into the new It gets harder as the years go by Am I too tired to try? CHORUS 1 I'm going underwater Gotta find my way to you You're the light inside the dark I hold on to Oh I'm going underwater And I don't know what to do Sinking deeper but I'm swimming back to you VERSE 3 Save me from this spiral There's hope beyond despair Love beneath the surface I know that it's there CHORUS 2 I'm going underwater Gotta find my way to you You're the light inside the dark I hold on to Oh I'm going underwater And I don't know what to do Sinking deeper but I'm swimming back to you Can you take me there? CHORUS 3 I'm going underwater Gotta find my way to you You're the light inside the dark I hold on to Oh I'm going underwater And I don't know what to do Sinking deeper but I'm swimming back to you

VERSE 1 All these years Wasting those tears on you fallin’ Held on to hope and the life for you to fill In good time All this time Illusions they lie to my mind yet I see You had your heart taken by someone else A fool am I But CHORUS 1 Who deserves your love More than I Deserve your love More than I Deserve your love More than I VERSE 2 It’s a dream, it’s all confusion How the cards fall down and still we believe love’s our cure Betting all we have to get the chance Don’t know why I only see you No one else could give me chills like you do all the time You used to be mine Try to be kind CHORUS 2/3 Who deserves your love More than I Deserve your love More than I Deserve your love More than I INTERLUDE No one deserves you Like I deserve you No one deserves you No one deserves you CHORUS 4 Who deserves your love (who deserves your love) Who deserves your love, who deserves your love I deserve your love (more than) I deserve your love More than I (no one deserves you, no one deserves you) CHORUS 5 Who deserves your love (no one deserves you more than I) No one deserves you Like I deserve you I deserve your love More than I

VERSE 1 If the highest mountain could be at the bottom of the sea When it’s dark on this side of the world You might be waking up thinking of me There’s a million flowers growing in their own sweet time I see the colour and the shape but there are not enough words to describe CHORUS 1 How wonderful you are How wonderful You are VERSE 2 All the magical creatures living in perfect harmony And the beauty of the universe is to let it be I could not imagine why the fire burns and oceans run But I watch them knowing we are one, your will be done CHORUS 2/3 How wonderful you are How wonderful you are How wonderful you are How wonderful You are

about

A meditation on life's joys and sorrows, the first collaborative album by producer Chok Kerong and singer-songwriter Vanessa Fernandez (aka Vandetta) is a seamless blend of rock, gospel, classic soul and hiphop.

"Spiral is the type of album that takes a few listens for one to fully appreciate its intricate compositions, and is a triumph of both artistes’ musicality."
