about

A song about the shadow ; and the luxurious (+ poisonous) indulgence of living in sadness instead of light.

From the upcoming album, LOST REALITIES.
(May 2021)

lyrics

I lived in a dark landscape
once but its alright
I made jewels out of my heartbreak
once but its alright
I ran from deep blue fountains
once but its alright
I ignored the holy mountain
once but its alright

I lived in deepest regrets
once but its alright
I made gold out of dark secrets
once but its alright
I ran to forbidden mountains
I ignored the holy fountains
I made love to all my mistakes
I made inventions from my heartbreaks

Saying please please will you lend me a hand
I'm ready to see the light
Please please please will you lend me a hand
I'm ready to see the light

And get this shadow off of me ...
Don't want this darkness no more
Don't want my shadow controlling what I see

I run, I don't walk, there's honey in your embrace
Yea darling I'm a swamp
You're the alligator that would make me want

I come, destroy, succumb, I don't feel no joy
When I come I do not talk
Kill the lovely flower just to feel its stalk.

Please please help me understand
I'm ready to see some light
Please please please show me how to stand
I'm ready to feel this light

Get this shadow off me
Get this shadow right off of me
I don't want this shadow no more
Don't want my shadow controlling what I see

(When I'm reborn again, my love it will wake)
