Heavy Love 06:27
Seasons change on a rotating globe Constant cycle nature undergoes The sun will shine and the moon will reflect Night and day they rise and then set Rivers flow through veins from the heart Rapids traveling back to the start From the shallows - beats of the rain Deeper water a silent refrain (Chorus) Heavy love, your place plays a part Keep it light, illuminate the dark The sound of silence helps eyes to see Let the truth set you free Rain keeps falling, the grasses will grow The sky holds clouds, they go where they go The earth is the ground, but soon it erupts Fires destroy, but new life is springing up (chorus) The one is not whole without the other ones The whole is not one without the other

Let it Go 05:19
Head up in the clouds Feeling it out Flowing like water Calm Collecting thoughts Dreams often sought in quiet surrender Hand from this to the next Fingers are flexed Holding the silence Here spirits draw near Speaking the truth through living we do Let it go All that you know Let it go Head over heels Wanting to feel like a sun rising So set in the ways Afraid of change Going through motions Rock gently with me We'll swell like the sea Rising and falling Bliss begins with a kiss Teasing with touch To love is enough Let it go All that you know Let it go Hold your head up high Don't let the spirits run dry Increase the peace Watch as the seas release Let it go All that you know Let it go

Comatose 04:55
Cut me open Fill me up with gold and diamonds Hollowed organs Replace them with medicine Numb and empty, drugs won't heal me Mask the origin, let us begin... Surgery Its currency investing in aches and pains The symptoms remain Breathe my breath back Clear the cloud that clogs my lungs Stitch my heart up Inject the veins embalm the remains Dispose the whole transplant the soul Prescribe disease and hide from me the... Remedy From suffering The side effects - we'll treat them next Until there's nothing left, but surgery Its currency investing in aches and pains The symptoms remain Overdosed Comatose

Human Beings 06:57
All we ever wanted was love But we never looked hard enough Sharing a place to lay our heads Interweaving orbits in our beds Your heart was always bleeding out your sleeve Tell me everything that you need I’m alive and well Is it so hard to tell? Waters deep enough to drown in And we’ve forgotten how to swim? Letting go of your beliefs I’m sinking with the ship we’re in We always try to save ourselves Forgetting everything else Seeking truth to pass the hours Taste the sweet along with the sour Diving deeper, drawing close Allowing in, I’ll be a host Letting out, giving back Time to cut ourselves some slack Sky is high enough for flying We forgot to grow our wings Let go of all your fears Remembering that birds also sing Everything we thought we knew just a list of things to do All along we were human beings We just forgot how to be

Hear Me Out 06:24
Am I living love anew? Am I loving life? Am I loving the life I knew? Hear me out I'm falling fast awake Holy diamonds are waiting at the gates Hold me in and commiserate All of our ancestors have been erased Alters bleeding after We're in holy fire Hold me up in revelry And bless me m I living love anew? Am I loving life? Am I loving the life I knew? Hear me out I've nothing left to say Crystal ships will be lighting up the way Hold me in I'm in need of structure Let me be invisible, undiscovered Cultures bleeding after Moldy trends have expired Hold me up in revelry Let me see Let me speak
