River in Me
04:33
|
|||
Verse 1
All of these moments slip away though my fingertips
Running like a river through my hands
The darkness in my mind plays hide and seek with the emptiness
A taunting game I’m not sure I understand
Prechorus
River, river, running deep
Are you carrying me
Through the wild, wild fires
Of my wild, wild dreams
Chorus
Whatever wind may blow
I’m okay with that
Whatever storm may come
Let it come, let it come
I surrender to the river in me
I surrender to the river
Time is a fleeting friend
I’m okay with that
No, we can’t start again
Let it run, let it run
I surrender to the river in me
I surrender to the river
Verse 2
Light is so absent, it’s hard to remember it
Longing for a river pure as gold
The ghost is kept inside, going wild in the cage I built
He’s haunting me, but I can’t let him out
Prechorus
River, river, running fast
Will you bring me home at last
Through the wild, wild winters
Of my wild, wild future
Chorus (x2)
Whatever wind may blow
I’m okay with that
Whatever storm may come
Let it come, let it come
I surrender to the river in me
I surrender to the river
Time is a fleeting friend
I’m okay with that
No, we can’t start again
Let it run, let it run
I surrender to the river in me
I surrender to the river
Whatever wind may blow
I’m okay with that
Whatever storm may come
Let it come, let it come
I surrender to the river in me
I surrender to the river
Time is a fleeting friend
I’m okay with that
No, we can’t start again
Let it run, let it run
I surrender to the river in me
I surrender to the river

Crossroad
03:30
|

Verse 1
Dear moon in the sky
Are you lonely as I
Far, far away from all I know
Hiding from the cold
Lonely tears as I go
Far, far away from all I know
Prechorus
Naked trees, and the city’s too quiet tonight
Falling leaves and my feet kiss the asphalt goodnight
Chorus
I’m at a crossroad, twisting my mind
I’m at a crossroad
Looking for answers, silence and I
Are figuring everything out
Searching for seeds of trust in time
A path can be wrong, but feel so right
At a crossroad
I want to let go, asking the road
Please take me home
Verse 2
Dear sparrow you sing
Do you trust your own wings
Far, far away from safest ground
I’m not sure I can fly
Too afraid of the sky
Far, far away from safest ground
Prechorus
Naked trees, and the city’s too quiet tonight
Falling leaves and my feet kiss the asphalt goodnight
Chorus
I’m at a crossroad, twisting my mind
I’m at a crossroad
Looking for answers, silence and I
Are figuring everything out
Searching for seeds of trust in time
A path can be wrong, but feel so right
At a crossroad
I want to let go, asking the road
Please take me home

Young Hearts
03:11
|
|||
Verse 1
It was easier back then
We laughed together once, then asked each other if we could be friends
So much easier back then
All the glittery stones were gems
We collected them all, and kept them in our plastic treasure chest
Making room until they fit
Pre chorus
Full of life and possibilities
High on hope and drunk on dreams
Weren’t scared of anything, then we grew up and apart
Chorus
We still got young hearts
We’re not that sure of who we are
Young hearts
Not knowing why it got this hard
We still wanna be wild sometimes
We could try it, just try it out
Let’s get drunk on sun and love and just pretend
That it’s easier again
Verse 2
It was easier with you
We ran into the woods, ate blueberries until our lips were blue
So much easier with you
We camped beneath the stars
Watching satellites all nights, wondering if there’s human life on mars
And if we’d ever get that far
Pre chorus
Full of life and possibilities
High on hope and drunk on dreams
Weren’t scared of anything, then we grew up and apart
Chorus
We still got young hearts
We’re not that sure of who we are
Young hearts
Not knowing why it got this hard
We still wanna be wild sometimes
We could try it, just try it out
Let’s get drunk on sun and love and just pretend
That it’s easier again
We still wanna be wild sometimes
We could try it, just try it out
Let’s get drunk on sun and love and just pretend
That it’s easier again

I Wish I Were
02:46
|
|||
Verse 1
I'm too small for my tiny shoes
Easily caught by a wind
Whenever I fall, I get frightened and bruised
Uncomfortable in my own skin
She's so radiant, tall and pure
Nothing can conquer her stride
Whenever she's down she's not down for long
She's brilliant at being alive
Chorus 1
I wish I were like Allison
With fiery eyes and auburn hair
I wish I were that confident
When people stare I wouldn't care
I wish I were like Evelyn
A witty smile and strongest bones
I wish I were that confident
I wish, I wish I were
Verse 2
I'm too trapped in my own regret
Easily drowning in thoughts
My bubble is me, sometimes nothing else fits
Everything can be a lot
She's so beautiful inside and out
Easily lending a hand
Her spirit is kind, she doesn't even try
Just listens and understands
Chorus 2
I wish I were like Lydia
With loving eyes and joyful soul
I wish I were that pure of heart
When darkness creeps in she's still in control
I wish I were like Arya
She sees possibilities
I wish I were that pure of heart
I wish, I wish I were
They wish, they wish they were

Lost in Translation
03:51
|
|||
Verse 1
Trying to keep my head down
Trying to block the noise out
Keeping up with the crowd
I really should be used to it by now
I've been told to get in line
Still I'm on the wrong side
Watching friends pass me by
I really should be used to it by now
Pre chorus
Is there anybody out there?
Am I talking to the walls?
Is there anybody out there?
I'm only hearing echoes of my voice
Chorus
Echoes of another empty frequency
A surface I can't get underneath
I'm on another empty frequency
My wavelength is broken, nobody sees
When I get lost in translation
lost in translation
Verse 2
No they don't understand
I'm the one who adapts
They're not lending a hand
I really should be used to it by now
Pre
Is there anybody out there?
Am I talking to the walls?
Is there anybody out there?
I'm only hearing echoes of my voice
Chorus
Echoes of another empty frequency
A surface I can't get underneath
I'm on another empty frequency
My wavelength is broken, nobody sees
When I get lost in translation
lost in translation

Bully in your Head
03:26
|
|||
Verse 1
You don't see that you're beautiful
Please stop banging your head against the wall
You're only making it worse, because you want it to hurt
The mirror's cracked, it isn't you
Just need another point of view
You've got a lot to be proud of, so you shouldn't just give up
Pre chorus
Every wrong step
won't take you over the edge
it's just a part of living
Every regret
becomes a rope around your neck
if you let it
Chorus
There's a bully in your head
Don't let him win
All the ghosts beneath your bed
Don't let them in
There's a bully in your head
He feeds on sin
It's not your fault, it's not your fault
it's all on him
the bully in your head
Verse 2
All the silver tongues like to spread lies
You should never be taking their advice
They're only making it worse because they want it to hurt
Words can sting and thoughts can burn
Until the point of no return
Have to learn to put out the fires
Pre chorus
Every wrong step
won't take you over the edge
it's just a part of living
Every regret
becomes a rope around your neck
if you let it
Chorus
There's a bully in your head
Don't let him win
All the ghosts beneath your bed
Don't let them in
There's a bully in your head
He feeds on sin
It's not your fault, it's not your fault
it's all on him
the bully in your head

Limbo
03:56
|
|||
Verse 1
As silly as it sounds
I almost knew we wouldn't last
Cause nothing this sweet
Holds together in rain
You spoiled me with your love
And when the rain began to fall
I ignored the lies that hid behind the glitter
Pre chorus
Although I'm not a supermodel
You made me feel as beautiful as that
Everything with you was natural
I didn't have to hide myself
Chorus
Why this limbo?
Stuck in between all the feelings, too hard to handle
You're my shadow
I can't relieve the pain, still the same broken record
You really hit me hard
left a red, acing mark
And there's no first aid kit fit for a heart
Verse 2
Wish I could take it back
All the oh, so pretty words
I raised you up high
But the pedestal broke
You landed on your feet
Turned your back without a scratch
Then ignored the cries when I stepped in all the splinters
Pre chorus
Although I'm not a superhero
I thought I was much stronger than this
It scares me that I can't forget you
You're not worth it
Chorus
Why this limbo?
Stuck in between all the feelings, too hard to handle
You're my shadow
I can't relieve the pain, still the same broken record
You really hit me hard
left a red, acing mark
And there's no first aid kit fit for a heart

Spacewar
03:33
|
|||
Verse 1
Sparkling lights and glittering nights
I am starstruck
There are far too many stars for me to count
Floating around, it’s hard being bound
Being so stuck
Just waiting for the wheels to turn around
Pre chorus
I’m underneath northern skies
Watching all fireworks
Singing
Verse 2
Thick from all smoke, could make the lights choke
Still they won’t die
The darkness never gets the upper hand
Galaxies meet, the thunders compete
It’s a spacewar
I’m hearing the planets crush comets to sand
Pre chorus
I’m underneath northern skies
Watching all fireworks
Singing

Dirt in the Gold
03:51
|
|||
Verse 1
I cling to the shadows as if they were my nightlights
Keeping me safe and sound
All these emotional storms keep kicking my feet off the ground
Without my dear demons my mind creates new ones
Keeping them there as pets
They thrive in my darkness, as they whisper their bittersweet threats
Pre chorus
I'm uncomfortable with being comfortable
Not fine with being fine
Always looking for dark ways to darken my mind
Chorus
I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less beautiful
Getting rid of the shine, enhancing the cracks
Everything golden fades into black
I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less illusional
Putting out the false light, putting out the glow
Why am I digging for dirt in the gold?
Verse 2
I search for the monsters, I fall for the devil
Telling me I can't win
He's horns are a halo to me, I believe him
Without my dear demons, I still seem to find them
My own stuffed animals
They sing me to sleep at night, while they're taking control
Pre chorus
I'm uncomfortable with being comfortable
Not fine with being fine
Always looking for dark ways to darken my mind
Chorus
I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less beautiful
Getting rid of the shine, enhancing the cracks
Everything golden fades into black
I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less illusional
Putting out the false light, putting out the glow
Why am I digging for dirt in the gold?

When Seasons Change
02:52
|

Verse 1
When seasons change
I try to readjust my mind
'Cause nothing stays the same
Still I get growing pains
Wanting to land before I fly
Staying where it's safe
Chorus
There are no circles in time
Everything moves in straight lines
and it's hard to keep up sometimes
And learn to flow with the tide
But there are no circles
No circles in time
Verse 2
When summer ends
The colours burn in fire red
The days get short again
Then autumn goes
And winter's ready for his show
Nothing stops the snow
Chorus
There are no circles in time
Everything moves in straight lines
and it's hard to keep up sometimes
And learn to flow with the tide
But there are no circles
No circles in time
Outro
When seasons change
I try to readjust my mind
’Cause nothing stays the same
