Heads up, we're traveling alone There's no one to run to, nowhere to go Speak up, they're talking louder No matter how hard the try Nobody heard Oh running free But we've got no direction, no path to follow Oh and all we see are wavy forms & formless waves And so we keep on running Reality took off long ago We keep on believing That is how things are meant to go Why are we stuck in the same old Blinded by the idea That someone's gonna come and save me Poison in my brain I know someday it's gonna drive me insane Oh I'm losing grip I can't see clear, it's all a blur Oh and all I see are Wavy forms and formless waves And so we keep on running Reality took off long ago We keep on believing That is how things are meant to go Why are we stuck in the same old?

Spirits have been broken, all faith is gone The ones who fell down like the leaves resorted in a song Soldiers' pockets filled with seeds, so when they're in the ground Flowers will remind us of what violence does Hatred is the virus that so quickly spreads around Bombs go off even if there’s only few to hear the sound Until the aim comes close, you don't care who's around Carelessly obeying whoever wears the crown Round up your conflict We long for peace and freedom War don't bring you anything, it takes what matters most The people you want to follow you Without them you're on your own History repeats again, it did not take too long Should have known how it would end Rightly wrong So they stopped the running Wounds and trouble moving on Rounded up their conflict But it's framed with peace and freedom

I've found there is a bridge between What you can see and what has been The void above us in the sky Reflected by your hazel eyes Between the lights Between the lights I know your soul has seen the dark Let's get inspired by the stars Surrounded by the bluest sky Yet always shining through the night Between the lights Between the lights Between the lights Lights Now let's get started with the healing Cause there are stars you haven't seen yet What if we walk along the lines That are connected between the lights

Folklore 08:09
When you scream keep the peace It sounds so contradictory I think people only pay attention when you whisper But the noise is getting loud And that's when hands go over ears And people no longer really care to listen Show, don't tell You gotta show, don't tell We're all just walking each other home There's no need to compete, no What's the worth of folklore If it leads us to destroy If you want a change to come Take a look into the mirror How you behave is the only thing in your control So don't spend your energy on persuading someone else You're not their preacher Nor are they the ones to follow Show don't tell, You gotta show, don't tell We're all just walking each other home There's no need to compete, no What's the worth of folklore If it leads us to destroy The trees they are still standing but they're losing their siblings The ocean is still there but it's becoming less deep and Why would waste your time and space on things that'll never last Yes there are people building but the breakdown is going faster Take your hands off of your ears your eyes your heart You might not wanna hear this but we need a new start A new way of how things go A knowing of what's right and wrong Cause it can't go on like this You probably won't live to see it but the world is at stake And if I talk about the world I'm not just talking about the human race Take a look around you and see all that is left If there's still a lot of green you're really fucking lucky Concrete instead of grass And factories instead of trees Many people are conscious But no one's really gonna stop it What's the worth of folklore? What's the worth of folklore? What's the worth of folklore?

Everchanging 05:16
All you are and all you see It's all you and it's all me The cosmic textures intertwined The universe lives in your mind I'm a full moon I am crescent I'm the future I'm the present I'm everchanging I'm the darkness I am sunlight I'm a forecast I am hindsight I'm everchanging I'm a clock And I am timeless I'm a stray And I'm the compass I'm everchanging I'm destruction And creation I am faith And the foundation I'm everchanging Feel the light and breathe the air Watch the transcience everywhere The cosmic textures intertwined The universe lives in your mind I'm a full moon I am crescent I'm the future I'm the present I'm everchanging I'm the darkness I am sunlight I'm a forecast I am hindsight I'm everchanging I'm a clock And I am timeless I'm a stray And I'm the compass I'm everchanging I'm destruction And creation I am faith And the foundation I'm everchanging All you are is all you see All is you and all is me The cosmic textures intertwined The universe, the universe lives in your mind I'm a full moon I am crescent I'm the future I'm the present I'm everchanging I'm the darkness I am sunlight I'm a forecast I am hindsight I'm everchanging I'm a clock And I am timeless I'm a stray And I'm the compass I'm everchanging I'm destruction And creation I am faith And the foundation I'm everchanging

Lotus 05:12
Like a lotus I will rise out of mud Like a lotus I will grow till I reach the surface Leave my sorrow in the water May it vanish with the rain That drips out of the skies above us From circles into plain Like a lotus It's a dance of light and dark Like a lotus I must follow the path I leave anger in the water Let the river wash away May my soul become the flower That sees the light again

Orange Sky 03:48
The music is loud and we don't know who's playing My eyes are only focused on you Telling me stories about where you came from And all of the things that you still want to do I'll never forget All the good times we had Bare feet in the mud I lost my shoes Cause all I've been thinking about is you Out there in the crowd I lost you the second that I looked away Too bad I never got your name Sitting here smiling don't know what day it is Fly through the night in a seemingly endless bliss Lost track of the time but we don't mind Guess we will see when the orange sky arrives 5 years later We met in a bar We reminisced Then took off in my car I'll never regret All the good times we had

Wildflower 03:57
Wildflower wildlessly untamed You dare to show up where the ground is dry No one expects you to grow in these uncertain times But here you are everytime Letting go all the little seeds of freedom The way the petals smell like happiness No one expects you to show up where the grass has dried But here you are looking the sun right in the eye The roaring fields are calling me Where chaos meets serenity And though the road of growth is long Make the wait of worth Rays of sunshine rooted in the sky The way the light falls on the fields of gold No expects you to shine when all the clouds hang low But here you are knowing where you wanna go Following traces led by the scents of freedom What a relief to get rid of the ties No one expected that so many of us long for the wild But here you are looking the sun right in the eye I wanna be a wildflower The roaring fields are calling me Where chaos meets serenity And though the road of growth is long Make the wait of worth Make the wait of worth

Winter 05:05
It's been a while since I've seen sky Been underground, guess that's my life But I remember basking in the warmth Before the cold slowed down the pace He took all of my friends away Now I'm in the dark again Until the seasons change It's been so long since I've seen sun Tried counting days, but gave it up I'll keep waiting till the clouds are gone Natures rhythm can't be changed I'll have to pass the time away I wonder what day it is I wouldn't know I wonder if it's warm up there I still care Time is gone, but I'm still here Nearly forgot how fresh air feels But I remember standing in the light Before the cold took in my place He took all of the light away Now I'm in the ground again Until the seasons change I wonder what day it is I wouldn't know I wonder if it's cold up there I still care I wonder if the wind still blows I wouldn't know, I wouldn't know And I wonder if my friends miss me like I miss them It will take a while but I'll be back And rise above the ground again The season's about to change and so will I
