You know how many lights are in the sky shimmering at night?
You know how many trees are in the universe growing old and high?
Do you know how many days are gone since the world was born?
Unbroken land, safe and sound, at ease
You know why the sea is turning dark rising over us?
You know why respect is gone, change will never come?
the way we act, is unstoppable unleashed.
Acceptance hurts, your ego cries, paralyzed.
It's hard to trust infinity, too big for us.
We run away, to the sky, speed of light.
Want to leave our soul far behind
You know when peace will come, uniting us, living equally?
You know when we accept diversity is beautiful?
A source of life, irreplaceable for us.
Acceptance hurts, your ego cries, paralyzed.
It's hard to trust infinity, too big for us.
We run away, to the sky, speed of light.
Want to leave our soul far behind

Thin Air
04:45
|
|||
|
You breathe in thin air, air on the peak
Your legs became weak
Alone on you throne
No one is left, but you think you’re the best
Alone on your throne
Of subjects unknown
You’re entertained but what have you gained?
Who are you when you’re alone
Alone with yourself
You’re longing for an illusion of
Your ego to come
Alone on your throne
Of subjects unknown
You’re entertained but what have you gained?
You paint the world in black and white
Sneaking past those left behind
Delusions playing with your peace of mind
You paint the world in black and white
Embracing those who take your side
Who are you to bring to life another self
Your former self
The self you despise, the one you disguise
A weak counterpart
floating above uncertain love
Mirroring those friends you oppose
Addicted to fame
You stay the same

scenes rushing
signs ready
for a glimpse
we draw
on a mighty
canvas
heat dropping
keep searching
in the mist
we draw
on a mighty
canvas
too close
to show
too bright
to see
or know

Remote
03:54
|

|
Water surface shining in bright blue
Eyes squint against the sun
People chatting keeping distance
Greeting as they pass by
A hidden secret is affecting
The way they act these days
It moves them
Upsets them
Divides them
An invisible prediction
Reaching out to them
Taking them by the hand
Singles out and splits up
Longing for a gentle hug
From six feet apart
It moves them
Upsets them
Divides them
A feeling
Is growing
Is roaring
If they could, they would
Reach out and capture time
If they could, they would
Reach out and read the signs
Scattered, tired, and alone
Observing the unknown
The world stands still
Racing minds don’t mind
Doubt sets the mood
There is no end in sight
They have to hold on tight
Oh, oh, remote love
Oh, oh, remote touch
If they could…

Lloyd
03:11
|
|||
|
Dancing in the burning cold
white covers the voices
light shines in a billion shapes
Any colour shimmering
Quiet doubt comes to my heart
Is this real or am I just
Flying high in ecstasy,
Limits blurred in liberty
Pleasure overtook the wheel of life
Future happens in the past
Running backwards, spinning fast.
Pain has never been alive
Touch the light, fall in the sky
Any live in peaceful mind.
Calm and thoughtful or are we all
Flying high in ecstasy,
Limits blurred in liberty
Smiling, crying, Lloyd is here!

Have You Ever?
03:23
|
|||
|
Have you ever tried to swim in a lake that has been drained?
Have you ever tried to light a match in the pouring rain?
Have you ever tried to read a novel in the dark?
Sometimes it’s hard to start.
Have you ever tried to see the ugly in the beauty?
Have you ever tried to reconcile a fight in a fury?
Have you ever tried to find your lost soul in the dark?
to reveal your one true heart.
Where is one?
Where is between?
Is there none
none in our dreams?
Where do we meet?
Feeling offbeat
Stuck on a window seat
Have you ever tried to look at two sides of a coin
at the same time? Sometimes things just cannot align.
Have you ever tried to lie to the ones you love the most?
They’re close and yet you boast.
Have you ever tried to cross the finish line before you’ve
even begun. Sometimes you never know who won.
Have you ever tried to forgive the ones you hate the most?
to take a chance to feel exposed.

Sunrise
04:48
|
|||
|
A covert voice, telling tales about desires, gleaming in my heart
A frozen mind caught up in returning thoughts. Get excited
Another fight with gravity that holds on tight.
Paralyzed, a familiar fear that’s reaching out, louder than delight.
My soul cries out, ‘cause it’s stuck in recalling old memories. Let it happen
Relief is close and the break of dawn is near.
All the dark days hold tight, hush my love
Don’t forget it’s still there longing for the sunrise!
A distant noise, yelling fails - I'm out of fire, the going's getting hard.
A dozing mind caught up in returning thoughts. Let it happen.
Another fight with gravity that holds on tight.
Anxious tears, running where my thoughts are vanishing, fleeing from the light.
My soul dies down, worn out and tired. Get excited.
Relief is close and the break of dawn is here.
All the dark days hold tight, hush my love
Don’t forget it’s still there longing for the sunrise!

Void
03:45
|
|||
|
we're heading out tonight
To fill the void inside
we're finding ways to hide
we're still afraid of light
we're looking back in time
to leave our thoughts behind
we're seeing what's alive
To fill the void inside, inside
Now we find that all that's left is
pieces waiting for that
one day stars will start to form in
ground that's spacious here right

Field

now
in this field
we've ignored
lies
what we hoped
to find
all this time
we have seen
now we know us
let us go
to our true home

Never Late
03:06
|

|
(We know) humanity climbed the planet’s throne
Eyes wide shut no sense of cruelty
So easy to block another truth
We are responsible for misery today
Selfless modesty heals lost empathy
Unites humanity, builds communities
Egocentric views assure a two-fold view
Blaming others for serious mistakes
We try to hide, that problems grow
Cannot face reality
Too paralyzed to tell the truth
Silence of a thunderstorm before it starts to draw
You know it will be loud but we’ll go out and sing

Melancholia
03:59
|
|||
|
Dancing on the water, freedom running through my veins.
Screaming out of pleasure, light shines bright and plain
Deep blue fulfils me with awe,
My senses seem to lose control.
The void’s gloom thrills me, clears my view
My mindset meets one goal:
Feeling the power of this natural reign
Breathing is the only/sole part of my existence remaining in my heart
Life is here, not in the past
You (can) decide to live or withdraw
Whatever comes, it will be right
on glad and gloomy days.
Dancing on the water, freedom running through my veins.
Screaming out of pleasure, light shines bright and plain
Pushing against resistance, my fears, strains, and pain
Breathing seems the only thing of my own existence that shall remain.
