Special Effects Lyrics - Brother Ali

I don't want to see you in a screen 

I want to feel you in the flesh and on the scene 

I love all the words and what it mean 

But it's so much to say in the spaces in between 

I don't want to watch dots disappear 

Listen here first reactions are crystal clear 

I want the uncut sentiment 

Before you had a chance to second guess and edit it 

I love you for the first draft you 

All the technology on Earth can't improve 

No special effect and no Santa Claus 

Uncut, acoustic and analog 

A lifetime measured in breaths 

The face is a mirror that your heart reflects 

And when the eyes meet, they directly connect 

And that's what you call true special effects

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Staring at your picture hanging nicely on the wall 

Longing to be near you because life is way too short 

I traveled through the night 'til morning light broke through the storm 

Just to see your face again 

I don't want to watch your life in pictures 

I'm trying to be right there with ya 

We'll be so rich at the end of all of this 

We can scroll through memories without any filter 

I'm trying to share life as it comes 

No time-line from the night to the sun 

Crème de la crème and crust and the crumbs 

Let me not hear your voice in a speaker 

I'm tryna feel the breath as it leaves ya 

Message receieved, you best to believe 

Your real life friend is requesting to see you 

I'm here to watch your story unfold 

I don't really want to only be told 

Everything I hold is pressed to my chest 

That's what you call special effects 

Photos 

Staring at your picture hanging nicely on the wall 

Longing to be near you because life is way too short 

I traveled through the night 'til morning light broke through the storm 

Just to see your face again 

Into me you see I see 

Inherit in here I hear 

I give fidelity free 

See my peers appear my dear 

Groove to the beat that frees your mind state 

Put your heartbeat on vibrate 

In other words what 

In other words huh
