2.	Dig 03:50	lyrics	buy track
I keep writing words as a river flows into the ocean my emotions overflow so why should I stop them there is enough room for thinkers enough room for open hearts so why should I close the door of my mission I dig my mind and cross my soul Even when you want to stop This shrill sound keeps me awake I speak to my Angels to protect myself Meanders of the past that continues to chase me It's like a thick black mist That surrounds my body And keeps me from overtaking myself I dreamed Than the weight I feel on my chest Was the hands of a man While deep down I know they are mine I am my own opponent And my mind chooses his team The same way I chose my vice I look forward and try not to sink I am my own opponent
3.	Freudian Slip (Interlude) 01:53	lyrics	buy track
I don't realize but my tongue is loosening without my knowledge distracted and focused at the same time let the answers elude me once again Deceitful Silence As a disease that attacks at the soul Painful Silence I turn my back And fight not to collapse me
4.	Follow (feat. ZekeUltra) 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Imagery that's kept from you In between sane and fool My mind fornicates with the devil And saves me when I'm delusional My head is full So full of a liquid Like a poison If I follow, follow, follow, follow The sound of the waves Zekeultra (rap) who i was back then, who i could be two different men a vision i couldn't see separating memories from what was just a dream so i’m living just for now like Imogen Heap peep game when the simple men speak they measure intelligence by books and degrees dont need no certificate listen to the birds sings building a new ark like north Jersey if u was worthy you woulda never cursed me i need herb so i search diggin in my pursy n***s purge cause we splurge simply when we hurtin feelings merge i’m submerged in my purpose they heard that my words nearing perfect so now they wan follow now they wan borrow they aint see me feel sorrow sippin out the bottle cause my world too hollow .. i built the model now i wont fold wont slow wont coddle if u dont grow know your soul gon squabble where it go know the globe grow smaller when you older, older Imagery that's kept from you In between sane and fool My mind fornicates with the devil And saves me when I'm delusional My head is full So full of a liquid Like a poison If I follow, follow, follow, follow The sound of the waves

I’d be lucky to be with you Lucky to be with you I did everything I could I did love you I don’t think it’s scary I keep thinking I’ll be the first one To show you the way out Ooooh I’m drowning In you Ive been holding a piece of you I’m rising I don’t want to Keep on falling I should probably look at you I’ll listen this time I Promise to open wide Or try to redefine Values I don’t think It’s too late I don’t think it’s too late To find peace within yourself Peace of mind itself

Biya biya hear me out ye Biya biya hear me out hear me out Biya biya hear me out ye Biya biya hear me out ye x3

about

Through music and movement, Reinel explores her conscious and unconscious mind by questioning the concept of reality through the Freudian theory and the ancestral rites of her original Congolese tribe, the Bashi. How can she enter a state of intuitive consciousness? How can she detach herself from the material and find her inner Light?

Faithful to her introspective texts, this EP moves us through each track announcing a new phase of Reinel’s inner journey.
