Custodian 03:36
I’m gonna live in this world where everything is free We don’t own anything The custodian I’m gonna live in this world where everything is fine We don’t own anything The custodian Snatch that Take it back No, I don’t owe you anything I’m the original custodian I know I take what I need without greed

It’ll be alright We’ll make it home tonight Before the sun rising Let’s get lost in translation I’ll dance with you really slow Come away, we’ll go Let’s get lost in translation Loose enough Let go You don’t have to find yourself alone As we speak in other ways of the hiding places We’ll be lost in translation ‘Cause all we know, wants to flow Heart and soul will be lost in translation Loose enough Let go You don’t have to find yourself alone Fascinate, let go You don’t have to find yourself alone

Reach For Me 04:56
Come and meet me, love When you’re feeling blue I know what to do When you’re down and away You don’t need to erase You’re something good to be true No more bruised down in this haze I don’t mind I’ve got all the time You know I’m easy to be found Reach for me, softly I care You don’t need to erase You’re something good to be true No more feelin’ bruised Down in this haze Such distance has no taste My touch can’t be replaced Let me pull you through You’re pure Reach for me, I’ll reach for you Gonna pull you out We’re gonna make it through

You got that phone call just the other day Things going your way And it sounds as easy as it feels High time it’s just my fate Of all the chances I take Sounds as easy as it feels Every emotion, every emotion, every emotion is emotional You got that phone call just the other day Are things going your way? Does it sound as easy as it feels? High time it’s just my fate Of all the chances I take Sounds as easy as it feels Every emotion, every emotion, every emotion is emotional Every emotion...leaves me standing by Every emotion...I love you wild Every emotion...in a crowd, it’s emotional Up on the streets, I fumble underneath In a crowd
5.
The New 04:05
The new has come All is warned The new has come All is one We’re coming across with no way to lose Nowhere to hide Only to move The sun reaches out for you Can’t you feel information come As your broadcast clears up!
6.
The Sound 03:55
Doubt your arms stretching into the cold You were there only hours too long Crossed the bridge, never did you look Back on all that you’ve done, too And sound that aches, revealed too late Why’d the sound have to ache? da,da,da da da da da... You thought you could be good They left you outlined in the chalk again Those pieces were never like they would’ve been If the sound doesn’t taste too good, why wait? If the sound doesn’t ache

about

A.K.A. Ma: Kid tested, Mother approved.

“While the bulk of A.K.A. Ma was completed pre-pandemic, divine sources are what guided us through the process, as well as through the dark aftermath of 2020. We’ve come out of this experience strong and better…”
—Piel, 2021
