Heart of Mine
03:23
|
|||
I've been giving my best
Thinking that day is on rest
She will come back
Wearing a throne on her head
Not so sure anymore
There's no hope, no more
I need voices to pull me
I need hands to push me
Or so I think
Do I really need?
Would I want my head to sold out to them
I have kinda heart toward it
You'd think It's moth to flame
Yearning to be burned, It's tame
Though I think
Do I really need?
So I go falling into her arms
So I go falling into her arms

Daydreaming
03:50
|
|||
In the past when I was a little girl
They kept me from outside
And devils from people's sides
I've never known what evil means
Never need to know what mean means
Everywhere was pure
I've never needed dreams
Daydreaming, I'm daydreaming
Looking for those eyes to pull me alive
Daydreaming now I'm daydreaming
Looking for my past
Looking for those eyes and smiles
I heard everyone said you can't
Go forward if you stuck in your past
Pasts are not trash
They are my compass to
Be out of the cycle of my life
I'm holding tight my past to not
Return the places I've been before
Now just close your eyes for a while
Don't go to sleep there's something waiting to be solved
With some time you'll see
Daydreaming, I'm daydreaming
Looking for those eyes to pull me alive
Daydreaming now I'm daydreaming
Looking for my past
Looking for those eyes and smiles

Forest

Forest
There are underneath us all
Fighting
But there is no ending to this war
Because it's people, they never stop bleeding
But I'm dying
And I'm sick of all these lives with their jokes
That goes running inside, dying but never stops
And there is no change in the air but there is no life neither
Oh soon he'll be down
Oh so soon they'll be down
"Can't you see all these mistakes that put us through?" I say
"Can't you see all the ignorance made us do?" you say
There's no other way she could throw it away
No other way she could throw it all away
She keeps calling but there is no one to hear
She keeps crawling but there is no one to hold on to
Just tonight be silent
Or lie back on your back watch the sky
Could be our only way to get out of this hell
She could cry all she wants but there's no way to go faster
She knows it well
Someday there'll be a ghost of me choking them out
Someday there will be a ghost of me I'll never stop waiting
Some other day we will scream long and loud
There will be a time when we can build our own lives
But for now, we just have to wait and listen
We just have to wait and listen
What if you were gone I'd have no home
You'll be sleeping under the sky
What if you were gone I'd have no home
You'll be sleeping under the sky
Where would I go?
Where would I go?
Do you hear them walking in your forest?
There is no other way to reach him but under the surface

Own Spirit
04:21
|
|||
Life will get away as long as you try to catch it
Your world will crumble as you try to fix it
Said my mama, once we survived
Hope, such a funny little thing
I've got no money in my pocket
No picture in my locket
That's the life as we know it
Burning from the horizon
But there's no lie in it
I'm alone in my own
Own spirit
Try to hold on to full sides of this life
Take your wishes with yourself 'till the end
Said the old man once he survived
Fate, such a funny unknown thing
I've got no money in my pocket
No picture in my locket
That's the life as we know it
Burning from the horizon
But there's no lie in it
I'm alone in my own
Own spirit

Tired of Feeling
04:13
|
|||
Do you see all these battles we live in and try to breathe in?
Do you think now the stars will collapse?
Do you think all these movies we watch will be branded into our minds?
Do they really make us happy or give fake hope?
So I'll be gone waiting for a long farewell
You see it's not a dream it's just people's make
And we will be waiting for them to come and smash away our clouds of dreams
Down again
Down my fingertips, I feel
I don't know how to get these all out of my head
Oh my god I don't know how to get lost and I'm tired of feeling
Feeling everything
Feeling anything
Do you think all these people you see will take your side when you are the one that have power?
So you'll see
Do you think everyone is the same?
So they will brush you aside when they have no fright from you
So I'll be gone waiting for a long farewell
You see it's not a dream It's just one step away
We will be waiting for them to come and smash away our clouds of beliefs
Down again
Down my fingertips, I feel
I don't know how to get these all out of my head
Breathing still, I don't know how to get lost and I'm tired of feeling
Feeling everything
Feeling anything

Ball of Lies
03:50
|
|||
Lights
Lights in everywhere but I
I can't seem to make them mine
Every life in that street is full of foggy souls
Don't wanna be one of them
Don't wanna hide from my reality
There's no way but going forward
There's a smile in the sky
Waiting for a long drawn out lullaby
Just like me looking for her friends everywhere
But no need
There's always sky and stars to look
For the times you've got nothing left to say
In this ball of lies
I can't see
No, I can't see clearly
What's next ahead of me
I know you feel alone
Turning around the same cycle makes you think
What you do in your life to make a difference
Thinking deeply no I'm not
I'm not gonna be a product
Of these sick hands of desire
Sky is there for you to realize you worth living
There's always stars to shine on you to
make you see the lights but sometimes you might say
In this ball of lies
I can't see
No, I can't see clearly
What's next ahead of me

So You Cry
07:06
|
|||
Come now and break all these walls
To tell me what is going on
You are dying underneath the sky
To calm me down, to calm me down
You tell me
Journeys of your soul
But hold the stories you have tight
Even they're not enough
They will worth
What's been right in front of our eyes
Are now fixed into our minds
Tell me how would we bring our lives up
Is that in your dreams that you hide?
You hide
So today
You see
Some are going under the shore
You grow in your hate
But it will make you cautious, they say
So you pray
You fake as everybody expects
And you try your own best
Then you cry
You cry and cry
For separated loves
And you wait and wait for the right time
So they can chew up all their lies
You just wish to see him once more again
So we will seek
We will feel
Don't you see
We grow stronger by time
We grow stronger by time
Time
So you say all in your chest
And you take what they took from you
And you pray for the days you get to see
Then you cry
For the mess that they left behind
