“I Haven’t Seen Enough” by Foxy Leopard – A Song Feature

 

     On the artwork for the song “I Haven’t Seen Enough,” Foxy Leopard introduces Clarabelle. The track presents love as something that surfaces over time, and Clarabelle recognizes that she has much to learn as she approaches a relationship with vulnerability rather than certainty, acknowledging that time, feeling, and experience are teachers still at work. Instead of claiming permanence, the voice of the song lingers in the in-between—open, observant, and unhurried.
 
     I Haven’t Seen Enough” frames the relationship as an eventual destination – “I'll end up where it sets in // What gets under my skin.” Until then, “I Haven’t seen enough.”
 
     Foxy Leopard is based in Quebec, Canada. On the band’s website, "The Team” is identified as Morgan LeRoy (guitar. Vocals), Elias John (guitar, vocals), Clara Belle (vocals, piano), and Stephanie LeRoy (producer, lyricist, storyteller, art director).

Lyrics of I Haven't Seen Enough by Foxy Leopard
I was told love is a thing you know
The way you feel your name
 
I've seen men come through this town
With dust and drink and talk
They spill their whiskey all around
That tells you how they walk
 
I know, I know, I know
I haven't seen enough
 
I ain't dreaming of roses
Or a promise spoken strong
I mind the way it goes
What stays when days pass long
 
Feelings don't hurry in
They take their time, they stay
 
I know, I know, I know
I haven't seen enough
 
I ain't dreaming of roses
Or a promise spoken strong
I'll end up where it sets in
What gets under my skin
 
I know, I know, I know
I haven't seen enough

“Steel on Steel” by Dorvin Borman – A Song Feature

 

     The percussion took the wheel in driving “Steel on Steel” to the blog. The guitar and bass command attention and the synth plays a role, but the strength of the song from Dorvin Borman is in its invigorating rhythm.
 
     Dorvin Borman describes himself as a “maker of cloudy dreamy woozy songs about anxiety,” but “Steel on Steel” is a high octane cross between Post-Punk and Electronica. At 119 beats per minute, it’s four minute of energy.
 
     Dorvin Borman (aka Devin Bierman) is based in Brooklyn, although he is from Los Angeles.

Lyrics of “Steel on Steel” by Dorvin Borman
Steel on steel
Caught in the underpass
Listen to people
talking and talking back
 
Listen to people
drunk in the underpass
Steel on steel
coming and coming back

“Yours Eternally” by U2 (featuring Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia)


     As our name indicates, this blog promotes Indie music. So we did not expect to write about Ed Sheeren or U2. But we have a soft spot for songs that feature choirs. “Yours Eternally” is a track on the politically powerful U2 album “Days of Ash,” which was intentionally released on Ash Wednesday (February 18, 2026).
 
     Taras Topolia is a Ukrainian singer and soldier best known as the lead vocalist of the band Antytila, so it's fitting that he contributed to the song “Yours Eternally.” The track is accompanied by a short film documentary highlighting the daily lives of the soldiers in the 40,000-strong Khartiya Corps. The YouTube video is included in this post.
 
     The lyrics of “Yours Eternally” end with repeating the term “volia,” which is a Ukrainian concept representing freedom, liberty, and the power of intention or willpower. The word signifies the strength to achieve goals and resist oppression, and it also represents personal independence.
 
     The members of the song’s choir are:
Bob Geldof
Jeanne Marine
Nadya Tolokonnikova (of Pussy Riot)
Chupryna Valeria
Dmytro Vodovozov
Dmytro Zholud
Kateryna Motrych
Maksym Syvolap
Mykhailo Chirko
Sergii Vusyk
Vladyslav Greziev
 
     “Yours Eternally” by U2 (featuring Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia)




Lyrics of “Yours Eternally” by U2 (featuring Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia)
Don't sleep
Don't even think about it
No need
Maybe a little bit
Still dream
About waking up free
As we can be
Forget
Whatever doesn't fit
Regret
Regret none of it
Don't bet
On getting rid of me
Yours eternally
 
Dearest friends or whatever
We are calling ourselves these days
My current location
I cannot disclose
Geographically
It's nowhere that I’ve been before
But emotionally
We’re on the same road
If you have the chance to laugh
Laugh at me
If you have the chance to hope
It's a duty
 
Don't sleep
Don't even think about it
No need
Maybe a little bit
Still dream
About waking up free
As we can be
Forget
Whatever doesn't fit
Regret
Regret none of it
Don't bet
On getting rid of me
Yours eternally
 
As your so called companion
The worst jokes and the greatest times
You got me high
And the stars got me home
Your faith in me was blinding
Yours is the song that I’ve always sung
You are not lost out there because
You are not alone
If you have a chance to reach
Reach for me
In the chaos of the earth
We’ll find beauty
All this time we’ve been chasing dust
A soldier’s song a sailor’s lust
For the glory of a world
That we can’t yet see
 
Don't sleep
Don't even think about it
No need
Maybe a little bit
Still dream
About waking up free
As we can be
Forget
Whatever doesn't fit
Regret
Regret none of it
Don't bet
On getting rid of me
Yours eternally
 
Volia, volia
Volia, volia
Volia, volia
Volia, volia

Pajaanch and Midnight Swimmers – Czech Republic Song Features


     While we missed both until recently, two Rock-heavy songs were released by Czech Republic bands in the final months of 2025. In the final few days of the year, Pajaanch shared "The Night that Loved Us Back." The strength of the song lies in the dynamic vocals. But the darkness in the “World” and “Tribal” aspects of the instrumentation is another strong draw.
 
       Pajaanch is a project driven by Pavel BublĂ­k, who openly discloses that "The Night that Loved Us Back" is AI assisted. His lyrics describe finding solace in the darkness of the night (the lyrics are included in this post). The track resides as the final song on the album “Veins of Eternal Night,” which is a “dark cinematic fantasy album inspired by vampiric mythology, ancient rituals, and eternal love — blending tribal drums, medieval echoes, and haunting voices into a timeless nightbound saga.”
 
     Pajaanch is a Czechia-based Ritual Mythic Folk project blending medieval dark folk, Nordic and pagan atmospheres with cinematic ritual soundscapes. Rooted in ancient myths, forgotten gods and sacred rites, the music draws inspiration from Viking, medieval and dark folk traditions, with touches of folk metal and acoustic storytelling. Music for moonlit nights, sacred fires and listeners drawn to myth, darkness and timeless worlds.
 
     "The Night that Loved Us Back" by Pajaanch
Lyrics of "The Night that Loved Us Back" by Pajaanch
When all the world had turned away
The night remained, the night still stayed
In blood and shadow, oath and scar
We became the dark, the final star
 
No dawn could reach, no sun could burn
The lessons death could never learn
 
Hands entwined through endless fears
Whispers echoing through years
We carved our name in stone and bone
The night replied, we were not alone
 
Through hunger, fire, and endless storm
We found a place, our souls reborn
 
The night that loved us back
Held us through every crack
Through shadow, blood, and pain we went
Through time itself, we were unbent
 
The night
Loved us back
Forever
 

     Midnight Swimmers is an Indie Rock band originally from London and now based in the Czech Republic. The members are Tomáš Galek (drums), Jan SrostlĂ­k (bass), Albert Pazdera (guitar), and Stanislav Chyzhman (vocals). The band released “Storm” in November 2025. The song is politically charged with themes of societal decay and profiting over others.

“Goldsmith” by Fur Blossom – A Song Feature

 


     Fur Blossom describe themselves as an upbeat four-piece that blends classic Atmospheric Psychedelic Rock with their own modern twist. Regarding their single “Goldsmith,” the primary influence was likely The Byrds. The song features an electric 12-string guitar--the signature sound of The Byrds. But rather than the Rickenbacker of Roger McGuinn, Fur Blossom use a Danelectro 59. Still, both guitars emit the unmistakable charm of a shimmering 12-string chime.
 
     The lyrics of “Goldsmith” are included at the bottom of this post. Fur Blossom explain that the song “speaks to the ageless conundrum of changing yourself for someone else, or someone from your past.” To what level are you willing to redefine yourself for someone else? The Rock-ready vocals delivery the lyrics with the appropriate uncertainty--sometimes evidencing conviction and other times exposing a willingness to be reshaped.
 
     But the magic of Fur Blossom’s single is in the instrumentation, which is on full display during the bridge that begins around the two-minute mark. The bridge starts with a pair of guitars that can finish each other’s thoughts. Percussion and bass join to increase the momentum. Then, a harmonica enters from nowhere.
 
       Fur Blossom are based in Melbourne, Australia. The members are Mathew Chetcuti (bass), JoĂ©l Feltrin (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Callum Milgate (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Craig Tees (lead vocals, guitar). Quoting their well-reasoned description of “Goldsmith:
   An articulated and undulating guitar riff immediately sets the tone for the slow burn of the extended introduction. The subtle fade in of each instrument creates a false sense of security, and before you know it, you are sucked into a sonic vortex. The crisp and contemplative vocal performance from Craig Tees rises above the instrumentation, before fading back in the chorus, creating depth and dimension to allow every part of the arrangement to speak and demand attention. 
  Just when you think the track is coming to a close, a cleverly placed fade out opens the floor for a surprise harmonica break (Craig Tees), further propelling the track into the groovy stratosphere. The final chorus is stronger dynamically, with a wistful nostalgia in the final lyrical refrains, which capture the overarching narrative of ‘Goldsmith.” 
 
     Goldsmith” by Fur Blossom


Lyrics of “Goldsmith” by Fur Blossom
I know it's time for a change
Sitting in the haze
But somethings just remain,
So tell me how you want me to be
So tell me how you want me to be
 
But he said, she said
I know what it's like to be dead
But the rain don't make no sense
And it's all stuck in my head
And it's all stuck in my head
 
But I've changed my ways
Sitting in the haze
I don't remember what she said, or her name
It was all just a…
 
So I've seen it then
Time's just end up when
Tell me what you want to hear
And let me whisper in your ear
And let me whisper in your ear
 
But he said, she said
I know what it's like to be dead (so dead)
But the rain don't make no sense
And it's all stuck in my head
And it's all stuck in my head
 
But I've changed my ways
Sitting in the haze
I don't remember what she said, or her name
It was all just a dream
All the times that I've seen
Tell me what I'm supposed to be
I bet you'd look good next to me
I bet you'd look good next to me

“Bruiser” by Big Sleep – A Song Feature

 

     From the outset, “Bruiser” surges with a pulsating rhythmic drive that underpins a delicate upper-frequency guitar. A less subtle guitar soon surfaces, and the attention of a listener is firmly in grasp. Initially, the vocals take a periodical approach with a matter-of-fact tone, but this restraint does nothing to diminish the soaring trajectory of the single from Big Sleep.
 
     There are times when “Bruiser” features multiple vocalists in a back-and-forth dialogue (for example, at 0:51). Unfortunately, the lyrics are not easily understood, but it is not difficult to determine that there isn’t agreement amongst the parties. A segment of the lyrics are included in this post. Interestingly, Big Sleep “borrows” the line “They call me Mellow Yellow” from a 1960s song by Donovan, which is reported to be about either smoking dried banana skins or marital aids.
 
     Big Sleep is based in Dublin, Ireland. The members are RĂłnán Connolly (lead vocalist, guitar), Matteo Poli (drums), Aidan Gray (bass), and Naiara Clarke LaFuente (guitar), who joined after a chance encounter involving an illegal rave, a forest, and a homemade stage. In 2026, the band released its debut album “Holy Show” via LAB Records. The band explains:
  “At its core, ‘Holy Show’ is an album about transience. In Ireland, a “holy show” refers to a messy situation, emotional chaos, public embarrassment, or the kind of scene you can’t quite look away from. Across ten tracks, Big Sleep turn that phrase inward. Each song captures its own moment of finding, losing, clinging to, or walking away from love.”
 
     The explanation then turns to their single: If ”Holy Show” captures emotional chaos, “Bruiser” is its neon-lit heartbeat. Clocking in at a breathless 199bpm, the track barrels forward with restless urgency. The Spotify stream of the ten-song album is embedded at the bottom of this post.
 
     “Bruiser” by Big Sleep

Selected Lyrics of “Bruiser” by Big Sleep
Boom boom we shake the room
They call me Mellow Yellow
Mama, what about you
 
Everybody’s got a dream
And it’ll be somebody new
You gotta break into the scene
Let me help you push through
 
Keep it in the pocket
Rinse repeat
In the pocket wrapped up in the sheets
And now you’re falling
Or you can go steady for a couple of weeks

“HOW I DO” by V!ctoria – A Song Feature

 

     V!ctoria explains that “HOW I DO” is about “doing something out of character just to feel close to someone you’ve lost.” Perhaps with calculated intent, the lyrics (included at the bottom of this post) drift into vagueness at times, creating space for personal interpretation and emotional projection from the listener. V!ctoria’s voice balances yearning and assuredness, as the vocal energy and tempo shift adeptly.   
 
     Instrumentally, the percussion is strategic in moving between being5 nonexistence and impactful. The drums drive the energy after the 1:30 mark. But the characteristics of the guitar are the instrumental highlight of “HOW I DO.” The guitar shuns lushness, yet possesses a crisp, clear, and clean upper-frequency shimmer. It shares the tonal DNA of one of our favorites Indie releases of 2025 – “Chinese Restaurant” by Radio Free Alice.
 
     V!ctoria is based in New York City. The credits of “HOW I DO” state that the song was written by Victoria Addy.

Lyrics of “HOW I DO” by V!ctoria
Can you stay just a minute?
I’ve been tryna reminisce
Picking up the broken pieces
With bloody hands and no regrets
 
Can I be your body’s silhouette?
Cuz I’ve been tryna fill the space you made
I won’t judge, but tell me this
Can you tell me this?
 
Does she care like I do?
Take the chance like I do?
You’re running out of options
You’re wearing down your conscience
 
I get up at the brink of the dawn
And memorize your favorite song
I grind my teeth on cigarettes
Just to taste your lips again
 
I, I wanna be your silhouette
Sick of always cleaning up the mess you make
Home is losing sentiment
When it’s obvious
 
She don’t care like I do
Change your mind like I do
Take the blame like I do
Does she taste like how I do?

“Afternoon of Acid Rain” and “Born on a Train” by Hallucinophonics – Song Features



      Hallucinophonics provide insights into a period of musical history—approximately 1966 to the early 1970s—during which psychedelic music was significantly influenced by the use of hallucinogenic substances. It was a period in which music lovers were more receptive to Experimental and Progressive Rock, and lyrical content frequently adopted surreal imagery, such as slowly answering when called by “a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.”

      It was also a period in which bands prolifically released music. At least one album release per year was common. Hallucinophonics shared a nine-song album in 2025 (”Theatre of the Absurd”) and a thirteen-song album in January 2026 (“Falling”). Within the month following “Falling,” multiple additional singles were released, including “Afternoon of Acid Rain.” Regarding the song, the band said:
 A surreal psychedelic rock journey from acid rain and face-melting guitars to a warm invitation — come on in, the water's fine. Featuring candy corn girls, crocodile women, avalanche people, and a seven-foot chicken with a six-foot guitar. Moving from dark to bright, this track blends psych rock intensity with dreamy folk warmth.”
 
     Hallucinophonics are based in London, UK. The project’s website references a number of influences, including Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, and Tame Impala. But our closest comparison is to The Moody Blues, as evidenced by the songs “Afternoon of Acid Rain” and “Born on a Train.” Both songs were written by Alexey Belenkiy.
 
     “Afternoon of Acid Rain” by Hallucinophonics

Lyrics of “Afternoon of Acid Rain” by Hallucinophonics
In a box full of face-melting guitars
It was an afternoon of acid rain
The hot lava dog was licking its balls
All the clouds were full of flames
 
And then they came to me and said
"Who in the hell do you think you are?"
And I said "Who in the hell do you think I am?"
The candy corn girls kept flying by
And there was love everywhere
 
The crocodile women with the jellyfish hearts
The avalanche people with their glassy-eyed stares
When you're down here you're never very far
From a seven-foot chicken with a six-foot guitar
 
And then they came to me and said
"Who in the hell do you think you are?"
And I said "Who in the hell do you think I am?"
The candy corn girls kept flying by
And there was love everywhere
 
But what the hell
We all gotta go somewhere
And it might as well be a warm place
So come on in
Friend
The water's fine
 
And then they came to me and said
"Who in the hell do you think you are?"
And I said "Who in the hell do you think I am?"
The candy corn girls kept flying by
And there was love everywhere

      “Born on a Train” by Hallucinophonics (previously reviewed at CLICK HERE)

Lyrics of “Born on a Train” by Hallucinophonics
I'm born on a train and I die on a train
Travelin' through my veins like heroin
My blood is a freight train
Pickin' up speed
My soul is a slow train
Wanderin' the reeds
 
My mom was a steam train
My dad was a bus
My sister's a car
My brother's a truck
We're rollin' through your town and we're lookin' for drugs
When we run out of gas
We fill 'em up
 
Ridin' through the night
I can't see the end in sight
Don't you try to talk me down
I'm on a train
 
I once had a lover
She left me alone
She ran out of gas
So I left her at home
So if you should see her
Please don't mention my name
I've never been a man and I'll always be a train
 
'Cause I was born on a train and I'll die on a train
I'll run on your tracks like a runaway
My blood is a freight train
Pickin' up speed
My soul is a slow train
Wanderin' the reeds
 
Ridin' through the night
I can't see the end in sight
Don't you try to talk me down
I'm on a train

“Gomboo Blues" by Ben Charles – A Song Feature

 

     The invigorating rhythm is the initial draw to “Gomboo Blues.” Confessing to having the blues isn’t typically this electrifying. Then, with each listen to the track by Ben Charles, appreciation deepens for its subtle compositional nuances and shifting textures. Perhaps best of all, on two occasions the vocalist nearly whispers “Watch Out,” and the guitar emerges—steeped in Gypsy and Eastern hues—to briefly claim the spotlight. (The lyrics are included at the bottom of this post). 

     Ben Charles describes “Gomboo Blues” as “a snack-sized dream journey driven by relentless drum and bass interplay, gypsy guitar runs, and a dynamic narrator with a delivery both intimate and howling.” The song’s dream-journey quality becomes most apparent in its final minute, after a howling buildup ushers in a shift from the high-energy propulsion to a downtempo, dreamlike state. 
 
     The transition is reminiscent of The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life,” where an orchestral climax bridges two fundamentally different musical pieces. Like the Beatles’ track, “Gomboo Blues” flirts with drug imagery (“I’d love to turn you on” versus “She told me it was only to get me high”). But piano is not a featured instrument throughout Ben Charles’s single; instead, the recent release withholds the elegance of the piano until the final minute.
 
      Ben Charles released his debut album “Before the Fire in 2023 after working with mixer Hugo Nicholson (In Rainbows) and mastering engineer, Dave McNair (The Next Day). Currently he is living on an old oil field in Southern California, where he formed a band called “The Flames” and is writing and recording a new double LP entitled “Deep Son,” due in 2027 via Lovelock Records.
 
     Gomboo Blues" by Ben Charles

 Lyrics of “Gomboo Blues" by Ben Charles
Once I knew a woman by the name of Angelina
Shot her in the popcorn slums of Reseda
She told me it was only to get me high
And as she was falling
I thought I saw me die
 
Locked down tight at the edge of the word
Dreaming of the fire like a Hindenburg
All the piggies in the river and a wolf on the line
Don’t worry Mamma, I’m really feeling fine
 
C’mon now
Sometimes I just get the Gomboo Blues
I get the Gomboo Blues
I get the Gomboo Blues
I get the Gomboo Blues
(Watch out)
 
Sometimes…
I said “Tell me, Angelina, with your bluest rose,
Is a beauty in a bell jar free, you suppose..?
Now I know you never pull a devil by the horns
But is love just a game without a crown of thorns?”
A crown of thorns
 
C’mon now
Sometimes I just get the Gomboo Blues
I get the Gomboo Blues
I get the Gomboo Blues
I get the Gomboo Blues
(Watch out)
 
Baby how do I talk?
I got visions in my head
Breaking into my heart
When I’m lying in my bed
 
Thinking of what we could do
With a kiss forever
Now is true
And the only way with blues this blue
Is to kill myself
In love with you
 
Here I go
I didn’t know how much I’d miss you
Don’t look back
River, flow.

“The Thread” by Virginia MacNaughton – A Song Feature

 

     A search through the 13 years of posts on Indie Obsessive found only three occurrences of the word “flugelhorn.” To some degree that reflects our tastes, but we have featured many chamber bands, so it is more of an indication of the rare use of the flugelhorn in the Indie Universe. The flugelhorn shares many of the qualities of a trumpet, but is warmer and mellower.
 
     The Thread” is the title track of an upcoming album from Virginia MacNaughton. She plays the piano and provides the vocals for the song. The flugelhorn in contributed by Felix Burling. MacNaughton explains that “The Thread” is about a new romantic connection and the persuasiveness of that connection, the sense of her new lover “imbuing everything.”
 
     Virginia MacNaughton is based in the UK. Her album, “The Thread,” is scheduled for a February 27 release. Currently, the album can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp (virginiamacnaughton.bandcamp.com/album/the-thread).
 
     The Thread” by Virginia MacNaughton
Lyrics of “The Thread” by Virginia MacNaughton
I will embrace this
Will you?
 
Alone I'll face this
With you
 
I'll reach up, align the stars
Before the golden hour
And if I overshoot this time
Then I'll come down in your next shower
 
In such a short time
I know you
 
The thread is pulling
Me to you
 
And as the moon is full and blue
The wave is strong and all I ask is
I can be the wind that whips you up
And spins you off your axis
 
I can't erase this
Like you
 
Because I got just one more moment
In your presence as a token
This is my concession prize
I could have left here quite unbroken
 
As a deadly winter sets in
Lit by only flashes
You will be the snow that settles
On my skin and my eyelashes
 
Because I got just one more moment
In your presence as a token
This is my concession prize
I could have left here quite unbroken
 
The thread is pulling me to you
I can't erase this
Like you

“Temptation” by Dax – A Song Feature

 

     Firstly, we confess there are other bloggers far better equipped to discuss the discography of Dax. He is primarily a Rapper, so his music resides in a genre that we prefer to leave for reviewers with a greater appreciation and knowledge of that style of music. Still, Dax is a prolific composer and with each release that finds its way to us, both the clarity and the intelligence of the message induce multiple listens.
 
     Dax uses diversity in genres as a toolbox. He is primarily a Rapper, but has vocal charisma across a range of styles. And Dax shifts styles depending upon what he wants to communicate — aggressive Rap to express anger, melodic passages to expose weakness, and sometimes naked spoken-word when divulging accountability.
 
     Temptation,” describes the on-going battle to stay true to your moral compass. Both the first and the last verse of the song begin “Temptations outside, knocking at my door  //  I won the battle last night, but I’m still at war.” Thus, “every moment of resistance to temptation is a victory.”  For the message, Dax selected a style that is far more closely aligned with Country than with Rap. The exception is the verse that starts around 2:09, when there is a brief masterful switch to his musical base. Instrumentally, our favorite contribution is the banjo that is particularly apparent near the end of “Temptation” (after 2:44).
 
     Dax is Canada-born, although his Facebook site indicates that he is now living in Wichita, Kansas. He is a 26-year-old singer and Rapper who has been described as “currently making something out of absolutely nothing.” We don’t agree – Dax possesses both poetic and musical skills that set him apart from others.

Lyrics of “Temptation” by Dax
Temptations outside, knocking at my door
I won the battle last night, but I’m still at war
I starve my flesh,
then feed my spirit with faith
Then raise hell till it’s up at Heavens Gates
 
Temptation creeps into an idle mind
Lack of purpose is the place seeking pleasure resides and feel safe
(and get’s its strength)
Temptation loves fame, serves ego and pride
Mama told me two wrongs, don’t make no right So I pray
(the temptation away)
 
Temptation makes slaves out of lustful eyes
It’ll rob you of your happiness And pay you attention with lies
In that darkness, you’ll find shame ‘s not worth your time
then appraise your Sin for the cost of peace of mind
 
Temptation creeps into an idle mind
Lack of purpose is the place seeking pleasure resides and feel safe
(and get’s its strength)
Temptation loves fame, serves ego and pride
Mama told me two wrongs, don’t make no right So I pray
(the temptation away)
 
Down by the Riverbend
in the garden, where the snake tempted Adam and Eve,
they ate the fruit and from those seeds
grew the roots of this family tree
It’s why we struggle it’s why we fight
our mother’s nature, fathered time
the human race, but fall behind
dying to live but all living to die
for goodness sake,
we’ve been a tone for sins and given God’s grace
stuck in this Babylonic world we can't escape
going to war with Demons every day,
the soul and spirit break that’s why I pray
 
Temptations outside, knocking at my door
I won the battle last night, but I’m still at war
I starve my flesh, then feed my spirit with faith
Then raise hell till it’s up at Heavens Gates
