I’ve been afraid so long
I struggle to understand
How powerful love can be
In my trembling hands
And I hear a warning bell
In a sky that is orange blue
Colours describing how
I’m closer to you
And I know how I’ve failed
But I’m ready to unfold
Under a bright blue sky
Where I am exposed
It’s too much to live in fear
I am safe here
If I let go of all this pain, it disappears
And I hear a warning bell
In a sky that is orange blue
Colours describing how
I’m closer to you
You are enough
I won’t give up or walk away
I am here to stay
Ready for all of this to come my way
And I know the love I felt
At times was too intense
If my head’s buried in the sand
I can’t hear the warning bell
Let it go
All this pain
Don’t you know you are safe
You are enoughou rise

Before You Rise

Let the loving change your mind
Go to another place in time
It doesn’t matter who you are
We’re all the same, nobody’s no better
We’re here to understand
We see the divide, but we come together
Love me
It doesn’t matter where you are
We’re all in this place and we’re here forever
A little more love every day
Will make us feel a little bit better
You push it down and kick it around
And you keep it far away
What you’ll find when you look inside
Is that it never went away
So keep love in mind before you rise

Layers

My new home
My new layers
W walk out of my house each day
I don’t know how cold it will be
I feel the blood pumping through my veins
Keeping me warm in my layers
I wont get hung up on yesterday
Or, it will drag me down
I won’t get hung up on what they say
All of these words are just layers
Fool layers, hard layers, cool layers

I Can Convince Myself
04:35
|

|
I close my eyes
I let my guard down
I convince myself
I’m in a safe world now
All I know
All I felt
If I just close my eyes
I can convince myself
I live in a safe world now
I’m in a safe world now

New To Me
02:29
|

|
The colours begin to swirl around at night
Colour is the way I see time
I know you see the same light in the sky
This is all so new to me
It’s all new to me, oh so new to me
The way you make sure that
It gets through to me
Like the way you let your heart get closer to mine
The things you’ll never know that you do to me
And the way that you lose track of time
I like the way you let yourself fall apart
It’s all new to me, oh so new to me
The way you make sure that
It gets through to me

Amazing album - somehow slipped past me until I heard 'Opa' and had to check the rest of this record out. Beautiful glossy white vinyl as well.
