kiley holbrook This is an amazing record... If it weren't for Sick Figure I would have never discovered KBong (or perhaps I would have just further down the line). Living in a dream has got to be my favorite song across my music right now... I get chills every time I listen to it! Keep put he great work and look forward to future endeavors! Favorite track: Living In A Dream.

Hold On 03:46
Hold on to what you got Stay strong when time gets rough Let go so you can free your mind It's just a matter of time Time time time time Time time time time The boundaries are moving And I'll be moving too Just remember that wherever I go My heart always gets closer to you The circle keeps on spinning Lines begin to blur Life feels like a roller coaster And just keeps getting faster Hold on to what you got Stay strong when time gets rough Let go so you can free your mind It's just a matter of time Time time time time Time time time time Where does our time go I wish it would stay We keep pushing forward But the path seems more like a maze When you're feeling lost along the way And empty handed Know that you can always call on m When you can't stand it Hold on to what you got Stay strong when time gets rough Let go so you can free your mind It's just a matter of time Hold on to what you got Stay strong when time gets rough Let go so you can free your mind It's just a matter of time Time time time time Time time time time

In Session 04:48
We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session The sun has gone down and its friday night I'm feeling good and great and now its time to unwind Move it quickly pack it light take what we need Going as far as the eye can see Traveling down the road to the highway let this begin We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session And now the moment awaits and feels so close I've chosen my way now I'm leaving home We're almost there i can't wait to meet ya Through the night our stories told Until the dawn of early morning Singing songs from our soul When my mind is clear you know that i'm very near When my mind is clear you know that i'm very near We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session We're going to a party where music is in session

Groove 03:57
For too long my people getting shut down We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now And we can groove about it sometime in this life Take me back to that home where I wanna stay It don't matter take my rent take my bills away And we can groove about it sometime in this life I never took too much I always had enough In the palm of my hand held on by a clutch No rush nothing we can't touch Safe to say we stayed in this place where we wanna stay From our darkest days to the parks we played We tried to make the best of what we could everyday And that's enough for us to love no rush to judge Or jump the gun who wants to run amuk And all the people came down and back around We keep our feet firmly planted on the solid ground Another day another dollar trapped by the collar Working class working so hard breaking backs for scholars Another news flash same cycle If this was all written down what's the title And could it lead our generations to greatness And give us understanding in life so we can make it For too long my people getting shut down We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now And we can groove about it sometime in this life Take me back to that home where I wanna stay It don't matter take my rent take my bills away And we can groove about it sometime in this life When our souls speak and when our eyes weep Feeling of emotion to this life we're devoted Like a shepherd and sheep debts deep as the sea Always overcoming and bridging the gap in between And on the same page only a few Everyone's got their own books to choose That's the reason for the seasons changing Times keep rearranging keep the pages turning From the modern to the ancient Patience a virtue ya use it to break through Chilling out and we all way out past curfew And these books are over due Seeking the same cycle to reach success But what if theres nothing left For too long my people getting shut down We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now And we can groove about it sometime in this life Take me back to that home where I wanna stay It don't matter take my rent take my bills away And we can groove about it sometime in this life

Let your light in we can see you shine Take it right in walk into the light When the doors closing running out of time Let your light in we can see you shine It happened way back in the day When storms and rains carved right through valleys An untouched source of energy No one was there except for birds animals and the trees And when the settlers finally got there They rejoiced because they knew The light would provide such a great life And help them to survive Let your light in we can see you shine Take it right in walk into the light When the doors closing running out of time Let your light in we can see you shine Now fast forward to present day There are those who've been lost While others ran away from The past you've laid before tell them to say no more Surrounded by the sounds From the valleys to the shores Follow the light we'll use it as our guide When darkness casts on life Indeed we all need each other to believe The air that we breathe and the guidance to see Let your light in we can see you shine Take it right in walk into the light When the doors closing running out of time Let your light in we can see you shine

Broken Love 03:08
We've been here before and what lies ahead But we still want more than we've been give I tried to make it work I wanted to stay But now that I'm leaving got nothing to say Is it me or is it you It takes two of us Another broken love Broken love Another broken love Broken love Seen through the lies so many times Broke down the barriers that constrict our lives Tried to make it work I wanted to stay Now that I'm leaving nothing to say Is it me or is it you It takes two of us Another broken love Broken love Another broken love Broken love Another broken love Broken love Another broken love Broken love

I fell asleep and when I woke up I was living in a dream I heard a voice calling but I could barely see Could not distinguish this life from my reality I reached out my hand to see what it would bring for me Just like the night sky stars shining bright Sun moon set rise and they passing by I can see the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind Like the branch from this tree right down to the leaves Bark and the roots foundation underneath Cause our foundation yea we started from the sea But what if you could fly what if you could swim Choose your own path bring it up from within This is the calling of a lifetime now see the sign Signs turn to blurs lights and the curves Mesmerize my eyes come and brace it for the next turn What will we find in the universe I fell asleep and when I woke up I was living in a dream I heard a voice calling but I could barely see Could not distinguish this life from my reality I reached out my hand to see what it would bring for me Now feel the breeze blow through the window Winds carry sounds develop into echoes Traveling through the space of this temple Look what we've built with our hands carved out from lands Created to be dwellings for us to lay our heads Only time will tell and show us the evidence What if every star was a sign for someone below help them to grow Nurturing and furthering our souls so they can go The world up above could be reflections of us Revealing and concealing all the past and paths we've took I think I'll slow down take another look I fell asleep and when I woke up I was living in a dream I heard a voice calling but I could barely see Could not distinguish this life from my reality I reached out my hand to see what it would bring for me
