Holy Infinity 08:10
lyrics

So, in time - my pride, my sense of why I've become undone falls. Wander, I wander - I stumble, I fall. Wander, we wander - don't suffer, don't fold... All we are is all we are. All we are is "fine"! All we are is water; all we are is light. All we are is water... "Rise beyond the tide!" So I cried. Men who've sold their souls - why do you wish to die alone? Wonder, I wonder. I'm searching, I swear. Wonder, we wonder. We search, nothing's there... All we are is the pain we've known. Are we all afraid to love our world? All we are is water; all we are is light. All we are is water... Rise beyond the tide! I just want to love! Sun, light the one... Sunlight in song. I want your love. I need someone to take me back home! All we are is water; all we are is light. All we are is water... Rise beyond the mind! All we are is water; all we are is light. Love - I love another life! Beyond the mind!

The Joy Of Life 05:58
lyrics

Heaven seems to push, but I'm too far... Lightning strikes my dear, so here's my heart! No one ever wants their night to end... But I've been underwater so I can! Tell me what is real I don't know how I feel... Someone show me how I've become So unhappy now... Is this love for me? I want to believe... Someone show me how I've become So unhappy now... Heaven seems to push, but I'm too far... You're here with me, but I'm still in the dark! Loving in the morn, but you're away... I will wait forever, 'til you stay! Tell me what is real I don't know how I feel... Someone show me how I've become So unhappy now... Is this love for me? I want to believe... Someone show me how I've become So unhappy now...

I Am 06:09

I! I never wanted to be-- Never wanted to be knocked down. I only wanted to see-- Am I- I! want to know who I am-- Want to know, am I loved? Am I alone? Am I, I? Am I alone? Oh… (you are my world...) I am the world… You are my world… I am the world… You are my world… I am the presence Suffering needs. Truth and honor You know, my name… I hate the present State of mine I’m confused, my mind abused, am I apart - am I? I AM I! I AM I! I AM I! I AM LOVE! LOVE!

Not Afraid 03:54
lyrics
buy track
I survived. But my heart is sad (Don't cry!) For all of my fears Shake me; I'm only one man. (Save me...) All this is resistance! I'm bleeding from my heart I am I - all I can be! Into the break of dawn... I, fear I, I martyr the good in man But why Do we let pain define The path we show ourselves All you all resist this These feelings in your heart I am I - all I can be! Take me as I am and fucking GO! WHERE THE FEAR IS! LEAD! WITH YOUR HEART! I! NOT AFRAID OF PAIN! NOW, I AM - BECOME! I AM! LOVE! Hear me! Hear my heart!
