(Verse I)
She was a dreamer
Singing on swings at age 5
With no fears or inhibitions
Til they she’s no good
It’s not right
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
So she sang in closets quietly
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
Their voices in her mind
Played on repeat but
(Chorus)
The fire inside, the fire inside
It rises til she can’t fight it
The fire inside
They said she couldn’t do it
And crushed her pride
So she ran away
She couldn’t stay
In a mundane life slowly dying inside
The music’s calling
She could see the glow on the horizon
Of the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
(Verse II)
All magic and mystique
She sees it on tv
and billboards on streets
But that’ll never be you or me
They say stick to your lane
And you’ll succeed
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
So she went off to college to study
Anything else
Her dreams they were shelved
But they’re just delaying
The inevitable cause
(Chorus)
The fire inside, the fire inside
It rises til she can’t fight it
She tried to hide it
Til she realized
She didn’t want anything else
So she ran away
She couldn’t stay
In a mundane life slowly dying inside
The music’s calling
She could see the glow on the horizon
Of the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
(Bridge)
So run away
Run away with me
Join the circus
in the land of impossible dreams
Cause if no one took the chance
There would be no songs to sing
They say it’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
But here I am
Here I sing
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
But here I stand
Here I scream
(Chorus)
Cause that fire inside, fire inside
It rises til we can’t fight it
No more hiding
It keeps your light from shining
This is our life
I ran away
I couldn’t stay
In a mundane life slowly dying inside
The music called me
I could see the glow on the horizon
Of the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
Cause nothing ever felt so right
Follow the circus lights

Heart of a Beast
05:48
|

|
(Verse I)
The heart wants what it wants
And I feel betrayed
You keep your heart locked away
And yet I stay
(Chorus)
But how long can I wait?
I’ve been fighting
with all of my strength
Gave you every trust and benefit
But now, all that’s left is doubt
Your heart can’t be undone
This fight won’t be won
(Verse II)
Tell me the way out
Give me an escape
You’re a spider wrapping me up
Sucking life from my veins
But you can’t kill the hopeless in me
I still think your mind will change
(Chorus)
But how long can I wait?
I’ve been fighting with all of my strength
Gave you every trust and benefit
But now all that’s left is doubt
Your heart can’t be undone
This fight won’t be won
(Verse III)
Tears cried for so long
You don’t want to be wrong
Cause you tried for so long
But you were so wrong
Tears cried for so long
I was so wrong
So wrong
So wrong
So wrong
(End Verse)
But commitment to the wrong path doesn’t change
The madness of the misguided chase
My conviction increases with each passing day
Cause the harder I try
The more noble the fight
But the beast doesn’t love his prey
But he doesn’t want it to get away
Why let go when you can still play?
And I still think your mind will change
I beg you love me, love me, love me, love me
lose me, lose me, lose me, lose me
Choose me, chose me, choose me,
Set me free
I beg you love me, love me, love me, love me
lose me, lose me, lose me, lose me
Choose me chose me choose me,
Set me free
Love me, love me
Lose me, lose me
Choose me
Set me free
Love me, love me
Lose me, lose me
Choose me
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

My Mind
04:24
|
|||
|
(Verse I)
Carving names in park benches
Reading quotes in bathroom stalls
Inspired to inspire
Jumbled thoughts within our minds
Separated by yellow lines
We’re all passing strangers in the same life
But we’ll never know each other
We’re looking at phones instead of faces
But where we escape in our minds
Can be the realest places
Secrets buried like bones
We don’t want to be alone
But it feels easier than
Bearing our souls
I’m lost in my mind
You’re lost in my eyes
But do you really see me?
(Chorus)
You say you’re afraid
To love me
But you say you’re scared
To lose me
You say you’re afraid
To love me
But you say you’re scared
To lose me
(Verse II)
Well I’m a reckless wanderer
A little bit adventurer
But I’m just laying here in bed
Maybe in another life
I’d be up on mountainsides
Living big before I’m dead
With spiritual journeys
And meeting those who impact me
I’m walking city streets
With music in my head
Working tirelessly
But barely working
Tired from not being where I’m at
Keeping time and losing time
In the very same moment
We can’t hold it
Even memories are fleeting
No amnesia needed
To forget me
(Chorus)
You say you’re afraid
To love me
But you say you’re scared
To lose me
You say you’re afraid
To love me
But you say you’re scared
To lose me
(End Verse)
Well I’ve got something on my mind
Could you get it for me
Cause I’m losing my mind
I’m losing my mind
Could you find it for me?
I’m losing my mind
Could you find it for me?
I’m losing my mind
(losing my mind, losing my mind, losing my mind)
I’m losing my mind
(losing my mind, losing my mind, losing my mind)
I’m losing my mind
(losing my mind, losing my mind, losing my mind)
I’m losing my mind
You’re losing me too

Walls
04:11

|
(Verse I)
Water dancing on window panes
Quietly listening to the rain
Cuddling chrysalism
Cause you’re not here
Rhythmic synchronicity
Of rain matching my tears
(Chorus)
Cause you are on the other side
And you can’t be saved
Though I’ve tried
We’re building walls
Instead of bridges
Might as well grow wings
To scale your defenses
Cause the barriers grow
The quicksand thickens
We’re staying in place
There’s now connection
(Verse II)
And I crave opia
Don’t look away
Just open up
Like a flower in spring
A flower in bloom
How do you think
they feel the sun?
Cause if you stay closed
You cannot grow
And I don’t think
You want to be alone
(Chorus)
But you are on the other side
And you can’t be saved
Though I’ve tried
We’re building walls
Instead of bridges
Might as well grow wings
To scale your defenses
Cause the barriers grow
The quicksand thickens
We both have to try
If we’re gonna fix this
(Bridge)
And we agreed
I wouldn’t write more bout you
But I have seen
As time moves by
You still haven’t moved
And I’ve been patient
And I have loved you
But you’re more afraid of feeling
Than what you’d lose
And it seems you don’t believe
There’s anything at stake
(Chorus III)
Cause you are on the other side
And you are getting left behind
You’re building walls
Instead of bridges
And I’d grow wings
But you’d shoot me down
Cause you’re more afraid of living
Than of hiding
And you don’t want to fix this
(End Chorus)
You
You
You’re building walls
Instead of bridges
And I can’t keep
Trying to fix this
Maybe one day you’ll regret
The paralyzing fear
That let me slip away

Sky

|
(Verse I)
I’m constantly reminded
Of my human ways
Cause everything I do
Is mistake, mistake, mistake
It’s humbling
And that which makes me awkward
It’s easy to wish away
But if I’m self-loathing
How’s anybody supposed to love me?
And they say the stress is just the clouds
And I’m the sky
The storm will pass sometime
And I’ll be fine
(Chorus)
But I’ve been seeing
overcast storm clouds
For the past
Couple of years now
And it’s becoming exhausting
Making it moment to moment
Waiting for a clearing
(Verse II)
But they say
I am the sky
They say
I am the sky
I am the sky
And the pain I feel
Is just the storm to pass
But I feel closer to the ground
Than to the sky
Rain isn't falling down from me
It’s falling on me
Pushing me further down
I’m a wilted flower
Barely holding it together
(Chorus)
But I’ve been seeing
overcast storm clouds
For the past
Couple of years now
And it’s becoming exhausting
Making it moment to moment
Waiting for a clearing
(Bridge)
What keeps me going
is the music
Cause I think someone
Might want to hear me
What keeps me going
are my lyrics
To think I could help someone like me
What keeps me going
Are the ones that I love
What keeps me going is knowing
There’s something more
Than just this feeling that
I’m holding inside
And they say it’s just the weather
I’ve got to let it ride
But I’ve been seeing
overcast storm clouds
For the past
Couple of years now
And it’s becoming exhausting
Making it moment to moment
Waiting for a clearing
I’ve been seeing
overcast storm clouds
For the past
Couple of years now
And it’s becoming exhausting
Making it moment to moment
Waiting for a clearing
But they say
I am the sky

I Don't Need You
04:49
|
|||
|
(Verse I)
When I look at your face
I long for your embrace
And I hope
That we’re doing the right thing
We’re not making a mistake
Keeping this space
And I hate being away from you
Oh how my soul aches
But all I want is to know
That you're okay
(Chorus)
Cause I really love you
But I have to let you go
Cause I realized what love means
And this is what I have to do
Cause I don’t need you
I don’t need you
I don’t need you
But you do
I don’t need you
God, I want you but
I don't need you
You do
(Verse II)
And you said you’d try
You don't want me to go
But I know
We’ll keep circling to the same place
Cause you can’t move straight
Around the bend
But I’ve been wondering
If I’m on your mind
As much as your on mine
And I know I can live without you
But I surely don't want to
(Chorus)
Cause I really love you
But I have to let you go
Cause I realized what love means
And this is what I have to do
Cause I don’t need you
I don’t need you
I don’t need you
But you do
I don’t need you
God, I want you but
I don't need you
You do
(Bridge)
And I believe
If it’s meant to be it will be
When we’re ready
The most important thing
Is to be happy in
Our own skin
So don’t give up
Don't give up
Don’t give up on you
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up on you
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Never give up on you
Don’t give up
Don't give up
I’ll never give up on you
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Never give up on you
