Deep Inside 04:09
Lost in the chaos, When you don't know where to start Memories like thorns, pricking every thought Every emotion once felt, now feels like it’s bought Every moment is like a rollercoaster we ride. It always has its highs and lows.. Every decision, every choice, every moment, is muted by the mind's endless noise from which I can't break free This is why I'm deep inside you might say it's my guiding light a spark glows deep inside the heart But at a loss, don’t know the way to go I’m an Overthinker, trapped in my head, like this… Every glance, Memories play, like a movie gone wrong Lost in a maze, gasping for air Can't find a way out, trapped in my doubt Emotions resonate deep inside Inner feels I always tried to hide. This is only the start of the ride. But at a loss, where did the moment go? For now, I'm lost in doubt Every turn I take, shows another route about. But I'll find the” light”, to guide me on my way. Sometimes, you have to let it go This is why I'm deep inside you might say it's my guiding light a spark glows deep inside the heart But at a loss, don’t know the way to go

Dark Ballet 03:47
Dancing with spirits in the moonlight, With joy and peace in our hearts. The stars above shine like diamonds bright And the moon casts a silver gleam The beat of the drum echoes in the night, As we twirl and sway to its rhythm. With the stars above and the earth below, Under the light of the moon so bright We dance with the ghosts in the night And leave behind all our fears and fright For in their embrace, we feel so light We shake off all our envy and pain And leave behind all our longing so vain The music and dance, they guide us to soar To the moon, where our spirits can pour The moon is a symbol of what's so rare A representation of all that's untold But in this dance, we don't seem to care For in the moment, we have what we hold let us dance with the ghosts in the night The moon shines bright in the midnight sky A symbol of all that's out of reach It makes us so long, it makes us sigh For things we cannot quite beseech The music and dance, they take us to the moon A place of wonder, where our spirits commune With the universe, with the rhythm and tune We find ourselves, in this magical boon

Endless Blue 04:11
The horizon stretches out before me A line that never ends It calls to me with open arms Inviting me to journey far Believe in the great power that a small feather can create Leave the past behind, soaring like a bird I gaze into the endless blue Hoping for a sign from you But all I see is emptiness A reminder of my loneliness For it reminds me that I am small Yet a part of something infinitely tall
