lyrics

All you want is a hand to hold without the walls surrounding all the feelings that you had withdrawn beneath the floors are in the soil.

Planted in people’s minds, unaware at times to the love that chimes, the bells call. Stars align. Feel alive. Sometimes these sounds soundtrack the breakdown – documented in melody, scattered memories come back in various pieces. Oh I analyse the distance I exhibit. Exhibit my heart. Escaping became a habit so when the river flows with the lost souls – liquid emotion lip syncs with the poet. Prophetic yet pathetic, I wish these walls would crumble. The feeling rumbles deep inside when you’re lopsided by the violence. Suffer in silence or escape. The comedown will take its toll. So blinded by beauty, cut out my eyes and shoot me so no body can keep me from the love that surrounds all the ups and downs, held in sounds. This is my message. Well I hope that I made your proud.

All you want is a hand to hold without the walls surrounding all the feelings that you had withdrawn beneath the floors are in the soil.

Document yourself masked in music, this is the truth, this is the proof. I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. Missed the signs like I’m so blind to love and be loved. No question, no distraction, negative thought patterns will be erased. All that self doubt and hate is a waste of space and I feel you relate. Caught up in cycles, a hurricane came and claimed the pain that they called shame. What became of the dreams you dreamed, why are you afraid to break the chains that leave you enslaved in this endless escape. Redeem your darkest dreams to succeed. Dig a hole and bury the deceased and bury the deceased.

All you want is a hand to hold without the walls surrounding all the feelings that you had withdrawn beneath the floors are in the soil.

The funeral was beautiful but the fruit was not ripe.
I kind of find it difficult sometimes.
I wish I could have been by your side.
Is it a selfish thing to pray that this music would make you sing
or at least feel?
Because the numbness nested,
volatile and restless the past haunts the present.
Everything causes an effect.
Affected by the effort that’s projected,
deep inside I hope to write my way out of this life
but if my demons leave me,
I’m afraid my angels may take flight too...

Trace your footsteps, past regrets.
Beautiful moments, life and death,
sad times and happiness, experiences, people left.
People gained, every breath, every step,
lucid dreams naively met.
Innocence,
we-advance,
we romance,
love and dance to the rhythms
Every decision,
lesson,
blessing,
caught in a sentence,
even upsetting, pleading, pleasing all has a meaning,
even demons evoking feelings,
you are breathing and we are bleeding
our hearts out for these reasons.
No more ceilings,
now I'm leaving this - all up to you.

Planted in the people they never leave you, we return to All…
