Nothing but the Wind 05:07
lyrics

Replay the stories that came out of my mind And into life seeing bright sights colors they dance in my eyes This is a border i’ve never crosed a Different plane another dimension and i Am not feeling the same cause the weather Is changing the scene looking inwards And it’s the best time to let go of lines Call me stubborn cause i dare to feel the drive Used to refuse to merge and hurt my own head But better days are coming into my hands Deep down i knew i would go far away Even when it felt like i’d hopped on a plane on my Hands and knees Felt drops of sweat rolling Down my cheeks Down my face When I thought that nothing but the wind blew my way They’re over the games and the wars i’ve been trying to fight I feel alive i feel so bright never been so full of life I used to hide in a corner facing a wall And in its’ solidity it used to seem so tall but Just turned around and looked out the window And i wondered where went all the shadows It’s the best time to let go of the dark Call me stubborn cause i dare to feel the spark Used to refuse to show for fear of sunburns That used to come and go but now they’re gone Deep down i knew i would go far away Even when it felt like i’d hopped on a plane on my Hands and knees Felt drops of sweat rolling Down my cheeks Down my face When I thought that nothing but the wind blew my way I am not trying to fight it no more Let it all go (x4) It’s the best time to let go of the dark Call me stubborn cause i dare to feel the spark And it’s the best time to let go of lines Call me stubborn cause i dare to feel the drive It’s the best time to let go of the dark Call me stubborn cause i dare to feel the spark Used to refuse to show for fear of sunburns That used to come and go but now they’re gone Deep down i knew i would go far away Even when it felt like i’d hopped on a plane on my Hands and knees Felt drops of sweat rolling Down my cheeks Down my face When I thought that nothing but the wind blew my way

Forest Fairies 04:42
lyrics

Out to the forest in search of fairies Mystical creatures imaginary things I used to read about in books when I was young so naïve purity there’s Something to notice in what you’re saying They don’t exist to you so I turn my cheek away I’ll prove that you are wrong I know you’re just afraid You fall down to the floor to feel safer The marks of question in your eyes when you’re putting your heart aside, tell me, you lied But something’s bound to break the act, the leap That you’ve been fighting, that you’re trying to keep inside Safe for another day But no it can’t wait There’s no holding back no holding back now There’s so much fear in the search for safety Drop it all here and go far from where this is I used to dream out loud don’t say those days are gone, no, don’t say it I’m feeling for the rope won’t let it go You won’t see question in these eyes for one more day, I rise, and rise, I’m dying to Get the optimism inside me It’s been fighting oh it’s been pleading for life Got my ticket To where it feels right There’s no going back no going back now We can find a fork to turn the earth my feet were planted in Fertilize the floor and let me grow and I’ll come back again We can find a fork to turn the dirt this seed was planted in Listen to her core then go where fairies go Oh I’m ‘bout to act I’m ‘bout to act now Ain’t nothing wrong with that, magic happens somehow

Beaches of Venus 04:58
lyrics
buy track
Questionning innocence for as long as we’ve been around It’s so easy to forget that everytime we hit the ground It’s a new land and I am wide eyed And I see it as a romance when it very first shines For as long as I can remember there was a shining hue And I finally told myself there’s something I gotta do So start a plan, start tonight Taking action, taking off for flight To visit the solar system Battling on the far side We’re mirroring the weariness I know the weaknesses of the dark bite, but The constant war is not one That’s worth the fight, let’s be the things that shine a light Show the way that leads to home Home, Home, Home, Home If we want to live we‘re better to show it than cover our mouths It’s a bit of a challenge to believe we’ll be safe and sound So take my hand, we can be each others’ guides Find connection in the darkest nights We’re voyagers and aliens Traveling to the starlight We're discovering the planets Hop in a vehicle and ride We’ll take our vessels tell them to go To where the sights are the brightest they can find Wherever we settle will be our home Home, Home, Home, Home Bring me peace, the beaches of Venus and Mountain peaks, to breathe in the cleanest air Forestry I need trees like a best friend Incomplete without your hand in my hand Off to seek the keys of our existence Mountain peaks to leap on then to descend My arm reaches out to a far extent I’m incomplete without your hand in my hand To travel worlds from end to end Let it lie on the far side Seeing through the weariness The darkest things that make us cry We’re voyagers and aliens Traveling to the starlight And discovering the planet We’ll count to ten then jump with our eyes Closed, closed We’ll count to ten jump with our eyes Closed, closed We’ll count to ten jump with our eyes closed

Heatwave 03:07
lyrics

You are opening my eyes they want to sight see You give them just a vision and they witness the way you walk the road like I did No less than two months ago Wasn’t hiding in the shade or leaving little room for Walking to the rhythm not tip-toeing carefully I guess I was waiting for Fahrenheit to make its’ way to Mars And I let myself freeze but now I’m lifting off the dust of earth With what I know and with the Heatwave Without getting burned I’ll march on over to the sunrays To my own rhythm Wish I could march into a parade Without getting hurt No I don’t want to fall anymore Someday I’d say that at the drop of a hat I would just stumble into people like that It’s been difficult to find a way around it I’ve been trying to pull then pushed away all the people when I could’ve been closer to them They’ll never know what’s going on in this mind Cause it’s been trying to find its’ way into order Working its’ way back to reason it tip-toes carefully We are all waiting for paradise to make its’ way to us I don’t need to douse me though it’s hotter here than in the desert If you can dare enjoy the Heatwave Without getting burned I’ll march on over to the sunrays To my own rhythm Wish I could march into a parade Without getting hurt No I don’t want to fall anymore Someday I’d say that at the drop of a hat I would just stumble into people like that

Cigarette Man 04:11
lyrics

In the city of lights He walks to work and back home To a fireplace that keeps him warm He walks in his pride With a lighter and tobacco And he slowly starts to wither And he calls me on the phone I am stuck behind bars For no apparent reason These are not my scars Hands hold me for treason I’d like them to let go I have tried to push them away They belong to The man with the cigarette He quickens his stride So afraid to lose hold Of a girl he’s never really owned He’s losing his time I have nothing to do with this black hole He says i’ll carry this to the grave oh When he calls me on the phone I am stuck behind bars For no apparent reason These are not my scars Hands hold me for treason I’d like them to let go I have tried to push them away They belong to The man with the cigarette

In Hiding 03:00
lyrics

You are gone, in hiding You break into run, you take the train like you’re scared of me Tell me what I did wrong Ain’t it odd you ran off I’m steadily slowing my pace so you are free to run You leave traces in the sand Your barefeet to the distance Our voices echo ‘cross the land I repeat repeat again I want to take you by the hand You’re the one who’s counting Playing hide and seek, your steps resonate on the concrete Zero to one for me Ain’t it odd you ran off A heartbeat’s not going to feel the same when you are gone You leave traces in the sand Your barefeet to the distance Our voices echo ‘cross the land I repeat repeat again I want to take you by the hand If I won, need no chasing You’d come around, we’d play again like two children Then you could say “uh-huh Ain’t it odd you came to life Ain’t it odd you came to life

Fight the World 03:42
lyrics

I can hear a voice in you I can see it but it won’t come through Traces of your talent but you ain’t Telling it like it is you throw it in garbage It is worth the wondering It is meant to be an awe inducing thing Show us all your knowledge, your wisdom, don’t keep it in a prison within you Step out of your comfort zone Freak out then feel your way home Climb out the back window sneak out but you count from ten to zero cause you forgot your keys at home Now where’s your safety Now where’s your safety It’s within you and me It’s inside you’ll see There’s no need to fight the world Just show your light like a candle and let yourself burn I’m trying, to help you carry the wands through the tunnels and graves There’s no need to fight the world Living in recycle bins You keep yourself from shivering Walking around with your sweater in hand you Protect yourself any way that you can Scared of crime afraid of ghosts You walk the line keep your eyes on the road When you drive you don’t take a chance but you wanna Take command so stand while you can Step out of your comfort zone Freak out then feel your way home Climb out the back window some danger’s good cause it makes you grow even when you don’t know where your feet roam Now where’s your safety Now where’s your safety It’s within you and me It’s inside you’ll see There’s no need to fight the world Just show your light like a candle and let yourself burn I’m trying, i’ll help you carry the wands through the tunnels and graves There’s no need to fight the world Ah la la la la Ah la la la la Ah la la la
