Pearly Gates
05:43

It’s time to go
Ways we both know
Words come and go
All that was has gone
Back from where it sprung
Gates come to close
Endlessly tied to say goodbye
You go away
Oh oh oh let go
You go away
Oh oh oh let go

Out of Control
04:13
|

We’re out of control
The world’s spinning round in the dark
We’re out of control
Our lives seem to slowly fall apart
We’re out of control
We’re aimlessly brought to this earth
And told who we are, how we’re like
And to part the wrongs from right
It’s all we know
Nourish the flow into a stream
Let it and it will
Flourish into a dream
Where we can go to find
Letters sent from our essence
With presence of it all
Feel it
Feel the presence of a stream
Let it flow into your dreams
Where there’s no need for control
And we are all part of a whole

One of Billions

One of billions
One of everyone
One of billions
One of everyone
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
Can I see you?
Can you see me?
Can you see?
Can I see?
We carry our past
Each a world of its own
Though it goes fast
I know it will last
One of billions
One of everyone
Home to all us
Home to all we know
Can we see it?
Can we see that it’s all?
Can we see it?
Can we see all it gives?
We carry our past
Each a world of its own
Though it goes fast
I know it will last
One of billions
One of everyone

Going Down

Going down
Going down and around
Going down
Let’s see what we’ll find
Anywhere, everywhere
It’s going down and around
Round and round
We can’t see them
They’re inside you
Know no words that
Is reflecting how
Beneath the sea
And buried in you and me
There’s harmony asleep silently
The long-lasting search to reach it
Just keep going down and that’s what we’ll find
We can’t see them
They’re inside you
Know no words that
Is reflecting how

Rainbow Lights
05:16
|

It’s ok
To be sad
It’s ok to be
In a drag
Sometimes high
Sometimes low
Is this how life is forevermore?
Rainbow lights
Through my home
The sun on my feet is
Feeling warm
It’s hard to live
It’s hard to die
It’s hard to see things clear
At all times
Still hurt the ones
That I love
Still being hurt by the
Ones I love
Give me light
(You and me can be so free)
Give me light
(If we let go of our apathy)
Give me light
(You and me can be so free)
So bright
(To let go, of all)
It haunts me so
To know
I can let this
Pain go
But even though
The sky is grey
The sun will shine down on
Us one day
So give me light
Let me end the fight
And feel the pain
To get me through the rain
Back on the road again
Give me light
(You and me can be so free)
Give me light
(If we let go of our apathy)
Give me light
(You and me can be so free)
So bright
(To let go, of all)
Light
Light
Light
So bright

No Thing
05:49

There is something
Waiting to be realized
Is there something
Within nothing
Within the pain
Something flowing through my veins?
Is there something
Within nothing
Between the words
In between all the thoughts in our minds?
Can’t comprehend
There is an end
To all we know
And all the things we watch come and go
Like the swallow
I’m lifted from sorrow
I cannot follow
To where I wallow
I feel something
I feel something
I feel something
I feel something
I feel something
Within nothing
I feel something
I feel something
I feel something
Within the night
I feel your light

My Debt
04:07
|
|||
I don’t know the way
Don’t know the words to say
I’m stumbling with life
I’m filling up inside
With images so strong
It’s taking control
Do I
Do I
Do I owe you?
Do I
Do I
Do I
Do I owe you?
Do I feel the urge
Of being in the world
Do you feel the same?
Do you feel all the blame?
I’m floating out again
Floating out to the sea
Do we
Do we
Do we owe us?
Do we
Do we
Do we
Do we owe us?

I’m still on the run
From the setting sun
Hoping that this will last
But soon it’s part of the past
The flowers that is in your heart
They’re blooming with a tender spark
Love is all we really have
I’m searching for it inside
I want to say it out loud
I want to
Forgive me
But it’s hard
It’s hard
There’s a light in my heart
Reaching out through the dark
When you reappear
My walls are tumbling down
They’re crashing into the ground
I want to
Forgive me
It’s still hard
It’s hard
Let’s pick the flowers in our hearts
Let’s pick the flowers in our hearts
Let’s pick the flowers in our hearts
