Forest 03:40
I was falling down the forest and falling down the I was falling down the forest and falling down the I was falling down the forest and falling down the I was falling down the forest and falling down the That day The sun became black Covered with scars I was alone in a white room No one could grab my hand I was alone in the forest That day The sun became black Stilling my name I was falling down the forest and falling down the I was falling down the forest and falling down the I was falling down the forest and falling down the I was falling down the forest and falling down the That day The sun became black Stilling my name I didn’t know me at all I didn’t want to see Let me go let me out of here That day The sun became black Stilling my name That day The sun became black Covered with scars I was alone in a white room No one could grab my hand I was alone in the forest That day The sun became black Stilling my name

The story isn’t over It begins with every breath I take I take And we might have won We might have lost The story that you tell yourself is the only one that matters The fog begins to turn Tonight we burn We aren't the problems aren't the problems The fog begins to turn Tonight we burn We aren't the problems, aren't The problems aren't us The problems aren't us We aren't the problems, aren't The problems aren't us It isn’t over It begins with every step I take I take And the more I become stronger I rewrite my story I’m awake Awake The fog begins to turn Tonight we burn We aren't the problems aren't the problems The fog begins to turn Tonight we burn We aren't the problems, aren't The problems aren't us The problems aren't us We aren't the problems, aren't The problems aren't us We untied ourselves from our thoughts We untied ourselves from our thoughts The fog begins to turn Tonight we burn We aren't the problems aren't the problems The fog begins to turn Tonight we burn We aren't the problems, aren't The problems aren't us The problems aren't us We aren't the problems, aren't The problems aren't us

The observer 02:42
Tell everybody you don’t have a clue You owe nothing to no one Tune into your truth Tell everybody this is not a war There’s only the observer And who are who are you The observer The observer There is only the observer The observer The observer Look no further Look no further Tell everybody it is time to jump The path is still unknown And ready to become Tell everybody you gotta trust your eye There’s only the observer So who am Who am I The observer The observer There is only the observer The observer The observer Look no further Look no further Run an endless marathon You don’t have to reach somewhere You don’t have to reach somewhere One bird in my hands Is better than ten birds Better than ten birds on Better than ten birds on the ground The observer The observer There is only the observer The observer The observer Look no further Look no further

Rain 03:47
I’m ready for the cause Ready for the cause to calm me down I’m lost in the biggest trap I’m ready for the rain Ready for the pain to shake my system Get out of this trap And let the rain wash my face the fear away I can see clearly I can see I can see clearly I can see Let the rain wash my face the fear away I can see clearly I can see I can see clearly I can see Ready for the rain But it’s already within I know I used to fall in this biggest trap Again and again and again Ready for the game Don’t wanna stay the same I’m ready to be bigger stronger Change my aim And let the rain wash my face the fear away I can see clearly I can see I can see clearly I can see Let the rain wash my face the fear away I can see clearly I can see I can see clearly I can see

My head is full of demons running free It wants to be the ruler of me It needs to be in control all the time And when I make mistakes It will treat it as a crime Now my mind and my emotion Are playing each other Instead of making inner peace and order They're only just two kids Who needs my attention So where it the host Where is the owner of my heart Where is the owner of my heart Where is the owner of my heart My emotion bursts into space It makes my body ache And has it’s own pace It channels my pain into creation And through the haze it leads the way Now my mind and my emotion Are playing each other Instead of making inner peace and order They're only just two kids Who needs my attention So where it the host Where is the owner of my heart Where is the owner of my heart Where is the owner of my heart Where is the owner of my heart Where is the owner of my heart Where is the owner of my heart

You said three words I said I never write love songs I said I’m yours You said it’s always too hard And it’s not the time or the place Don’t you go you are my peaceful place I am your woman It’s not the time or the place To lose our minds Look at my face Forever I am your woman You are my song I said we’re free You said the world will be ours I said that’s me You said we’re late with the flowers And it’s not the time or the place Don’t you go you are my peaceful place I am your woman It’s not the time or the place To lose our minds Look at my face Forever I am your woman You are my soul It’s not the time or the place Don’t you go you are my peaceful place I am your woman It’s not the time or the place To lose our minds Look at my face Forever I am your woman You are my song

Tide 02:33
Waiting by the riverside I got swept away in the tide Did you really think I would Did you really think I would Did you really think I’ll be losing my ground Did you really think I would Did you really think I would Did you really think I could live without a sound Waiting by the rootless hat We were dancing our strangest fate Did you really think I would Did you really think I would Did you really think I’ll be losing my ground Did you really think I would Did you really think I would Did you really think I could live without a sound Did you really think I would Did you really think I would Did you really think I’ll be losing my ground Did you really think I would Did you really think I would Did you really think I could live without Every heartbeat Every breath We almost did not collapse Every teardrop Every shout We were laughing our hearts out We through our worries to the ocean We through our worries to the ocean

The gate 03:47
My eyes are closed and I have lost my way Wait for me by the alter of the stars The only way out is to juggle your thoughts Unlock me from the chains around my heart Mysterious ways will take you home will guide your mind Mysterious ways will take you home will guide your mind Along the way Along the way I am sitting under an old tree The forest is under a curse I lost the keys somewhere and it's getting worst I'm looking up I am shouting the name of my pride The eco leads me to the gate inside Mysterious ways will take you home will guide your mind Mysterious ways will take you home will guide your mind Along the way Along the way Mysterious ways will take you home will guide your mind Mysterious ways will take you home will guide your mind Along the way Along the way

Happiness 04:26
We don’t have the power to control anything Always and ever frustrated thoughts come into our minds Maybe maybe maybe maybe I'll expand and clear my head Everything is possible nothing is certain Cause we're all chasing happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness All chasing happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness all chasing All we do is always chase Never satisfied with anything right now Never seize the moment till it ends And always judge and feel like something is missing Something is missing something is missing something is missing Wanna be there when you are here Wanna be here when you are there Always wanting more then you can get Never knowing where your home is Cause we're all chasing happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness All chasing happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness All chasing happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness All chasing happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness Yes all chasing happiness emptiness happiness happiness happiness
