Animal Heart 04:30
We are on the hunt again Our longing helps us endure Our anxiety surely we shall overcome As long as we run Out to find love again Our dreaming keeps us on track
 Ain’t no turning back until we find our pack We are on the run again For restlessness persuades Us to let go again of all that we’ve obtained, till then Eager for what’s to come We are on the move again Endless lengths we roam Taking it day by day, knowing nothing is there to stay As we shape nature’s way Run my heart, my animal heart Fearless in pursuit of dreams Roam free my animal heart Run my heart, my animal heart Fearless in pursuit of dreams Roam free my animal heart My animal heart, animal heart Animal heart, animal heart Animal heart, animal heart, animal My animal heart, animal heart Animal heart, animal heart Animal heart, animal heart, animal We are on the hunt again Our longing helps us endure
 Our insecurities we shall overcome The faster we run Out to find love again Our dreams are asking for more Ain’t no holding back as we know we’re right on track We are on the run again For restlessness persuades
 Us to let go again of all that we’ve obtained And whenever we want more We’ll be on the move again Endless lengths we roam
 Taking it day by day, knowing nothing is there to stay Run my heart, my animal heart Fearless in pursuit of dreams Roam free my animal heart Run my heart, my animal heart Fearless in pursuit of dreams Roam free my animal heart Run my heart, my animal heart My heart, my animal heart My heart, my animal heart Run my heart, my animal heart My heart, my animal heart My heart, my animal heart

So long, all this time There’s been constant contemplating So long, in the meanwhile Intuitions fading The need to back it up, stack it up, demonstrate Prove I’m truly there Filled my days and blocked my ways Weakens the strength to dare
 So long, all this time Something is awaiting How come that for all this time I have been negating The need to wreck it up, open up, what is inside Stimulate a flow All I know is all will go once judgment lies low Feeling like I’m heading towards something Feeling so alive Feeling like I’m aiming for nothing I no longer strive Oh heading out, furthest I have ever been, images I’ve never seen Once freed of doubt, endless possibilities, explore realities Oh heading out, further than I’ve ever been Once freed of doubt Oh heading out furthest, I have ever been, images I’ve never seen Once freed of doubt, endless possibilities, explore realities Oh heading out, further than I’ve ever been
 Once freed of doubt So much to discover, uncover, once the layers are stripped away So much to discover, uncover, once our presets make way So much to behold, unfold, as our eyes finally open Forget what we’ve been told, be bold, as our hearts finally open There's so much to behold, unfold, as our eyes open Forget what we’ve been told, be bold, as our hearts open Oh heading out, furthest I have ever been, images I’ve never seen Once freed of doubt, endless possibilities, explore realities Oh heading out, further than I’ve ever been
 Once freed of doubt Feeling like I’m heading towards something Feeling so alive Feeling like im heading towards nothing I no longer strive

Pop Emotions 04:12
Undisclosed desires of my heart How much longer left undone Six inches down In the absence of my fire All things seem to burn away By now is yesterday Late at night I fly high Endless sky Wildly astray Till the waking of the day Takes my wings away Here’s to nothing, nothing there for me Dare to aim much higher Go on and spread the thinnest you can take Why this constant fear to break No clear destination, growing impatient Somebody pave my road How to build my castle if I can’t reach the sky? Late at night I fly high Endless sky Wildly astray Till the waking of the day Takes my wings away Here’s to nothing, nothing there for me Unrealistic expectations, self pity, procrastination Unrealistic expectations, self pity, procrastination Unrealistic expectations, self pity, procrastination Unrealistic expectations, self pity, procrastination All these things will come along I won’t press myself so hard Promise I will make a new start tomorrow All these things that I have kept Will shine once they’re out there Promise I will start fresh new by tomorrow All these things will come along I won’t press myself so hard Promise I will make a new start tomorrow All these things that I have kept Will shine once they’re out there Promise I will start fresh new by tomorrow

Shockwaves 06:52
Don’t be afraid to share, why not show you care? Let’s get this started, we have departed Let me know which way to go To get me to that high, I know that I can fly with you Now that we’re on track don’t hold it back Let us become one, let your fingers run Shockwaves down my spine, stop the time with you Don’t be afraid to share, Why not show you care? Let’s get this started, we have departed Let me show which way to go Get me to that high, I know that I can fly with you, I do, it’s true with you, I do, it’s true Our eyes refuse to see confines of reality Fueled with desire, we are but fire Burn for you as you burn for me We’re a wide red sea of flaming ecstasy for you, I do, it’s true for you, I do, it’s true My strength demonstrates, for yours stimulates No void remains as your passion claims Every inch of my shivering skin Fearlessly I dive into endless life with you, I do, it’s true with you, I do, it’s true Now that we’re on track, don’t you hold it back Let us become one, let your fingers run Shockwaves down my spine, stop the time, stop the time Shockwaves down your spine, stop the time, stop the time Shockwaves down our spine, stop the the time, stop the time
Shockwaves down my spine Now that we’re on track, don’t you hold it back Let us become one, let your fingers run Shockwaves down my spine, stop the time, stop the time Shockwaves down your spine, stop the time, stop the time Shockwaves down our spine, stop the the time, stop the time
Shockwaves down my spine

Easily slip, easily trip All or nothing at all Balancing boundaries, too far is too late Point of no return can’t hold back your weight The road you take, the choices you make You either bend or you break You’ve let your desire narrowed your existence Down to a thin wire

Closed Minds 04:06
Behold what you’ve been told Do you still agree? Just a closer look on someone else's truth You took on to be how you see the world Have you declared this war, intended it to go this far? Where do you draw the line What made you tun into who you are today Sure as hell life has not been easy Now that you you chose to walk alone, anger filled you to the bone And it coldened your heart No one there to share your pain, numb it or find something else to blame Living in fear of the unknown Behold what you’ve been told Do you still agree? How you surround yourself with people who don’t help As time passes you go blind Now that you took on hate and shaped it as your newfound faith Make sure you practice as you preach A twisted sense of white pride, thinking you have seen the light Who are you to tell wrong from right There is no need to say Whatever you need to say I never had any doubts Closed minds should come with closed mouths Behave, be brave, don’t let yourself become a slave of your own uncontrolled fears We all have to learn, now could be the perfect time to turn the tides around for good We’ll only look down to help someone get up again and try to understand again and again Its not the knife of strangers, it’s the blade of self-doubt that cuts and carves the deepest wounds There is no need to say Whatever you need to say I never had any doubts Closed minds should come with closed mouths

City Lights 05:43
It’s the running stream It’s the deepest green How it pleases all Do you hear its call It’s that pathway of red clay Descending to majestic falls Do you hear its call Hey you, how do I get through? I’ve been crawling, heard you calling, how is it at the other side? I can’t see through white mist from the breath of the grey machines Running forth may be the key but my lungs won’t follow me Having enough, giving up on the city lights Moving on, come along, we’re leaving the city lights Give it up, time to stop, giving up on the city lights Here’s the sign, it is time, we’re leaving the city lights Tick-Tock man climbs higher up Race to death, deaf and blind, we’re rushing towards the finish line One by one, all the same, speeding up in their clock hand lanes We’re sharing the make believe, there’s always more to achieve Having enough, giving up on the city lights Moving on, come along, we’re leaving the city lights Give it up, time to stop, giving up on the city lights Here’s the sign, it is time, we’re leaving the city lights It’s the running stream It’s the deepest green How it pleases all Do you hear its call It’s the running stream it’s the deepest green How it pleases all Do you hear its call It’s that pathway of red clay Descending to majestic falls Do you hear its call Descending to majestic falls Do you hear its call

Lost hopes, dreams, the inventory of our empty stories Drained, strained, our fantasy’s flawing, the colours withdrawing As we keep marching onwards, forwards, minds blurred We will have it all The only way is up, only way that we survive is Staying on the top so we don't need to feel this Never ending shame whenever we glow in the night time Excitement never stops and how we love to live this Life that's always up in state of plastic bliss All the clouds are gone whenever I swallow the thrill Gain, claim, possession is mandatory, all else desultory Obtain golden chains in wicked games, all transitory, but no need to worry As we keep pushing onwards, forwards, all hurts, But we will have it all The only way is up, only way that we survive is Staying on the top so we don't need to feel this Never ending shame whenever we glow in the night time Excitement never stops and how we love to live this Life that's always up in state of plastic bliss All the clouds are gone whenever I swallow the thrill Fake, break, take, make, forsake, nothing in our Way, for we may convey, everything we Crave, enslave the brave, there's nothing in our Way, for we may convey, everything we Fake, break, take, make, forsake, nothing in our Way, for we may convey, everything we Crave, enslave the brave, there's nothing in our Way, for we may convey

How I like to fold you up and into my pocket (How I’d like to fold you up into my dreams) I take you wherever I go I’d never let you crumble I’d take good care (I’d never let you crumble I’d take good care) I swear, I swear, I How I like to fold you up and into my pocket (How I’d like to fold you up into my dreams) I take you wherever I go I’d never let you crumble I’d take good care (I’d never let you crumble I’d take good care) I swear, I swear, I I slipped through the tiny holes in our plans I tripped on the tiny folds of your hands And if you’d catch me, go on and hold on tight And if you could stop me, go on and stop me now Stop me now How I like to fold you up and into my pocket (How I’d like to fold you up into my dreams) I take you wherever I go I’d never let you crumble I’d take good care (I’d never let you crumble I’d take good care) I swear, I swear, I

Between these four walls repetition calls as they’re closing up on me Pale skin leaves no contrast on concrete I spend my days within Lately all I’ve seen, people on my screen, phone calls are my life line Diving down the neck there is no way back up from the bottom, and the People, all around, watched me wear my crown upon high heels Lively memories, how I wish to see you there dancing with me Young shiny dynamite, glowing up through the night, we made it real With the world down at our feet, how I wish to see you all there dancing with 
 Our bodies; calling, howling, desire Our spirits; bursting, higher, we’re fire Entering the next round, trying to be safe and sound, giving it what it takes I will fix the cracks, keep my life on track, my back straight until it breaks
 People all around, watched me wear my crown upon high heels With the world down at our feet, how i wish to see you all there dancing with
 Our bodies; calling, howling, desire Our spirits; bursting, higher, we’re fire People all around, watch me wearing my high heels Shiny dynamite, how I love to see you dancing with me People all around, watch me wearing my high heels Shiny dynamite, how I love to see you dancing with me (People all around, watch me wearing my high heels Shiny dynamite, how I love to see you dancing with me) Glitter on everybody’s bodies shining bright We are the center of never-ending nights
