Iridescence 03:43
Waking to sunlight on soft white sheets every morning I’m new open my eyes, chase the light keep shifting through And I am never the same as I once was nor will I ever be the same again married with space & time everything is always moving always flowing ’til the end Ooh, all I know is the only constant in life is change See the beauty in now, in this fleeting moment Where nothing can ever be the same You and I (we’re iridescent) ever-gleaming things, we are Nobody can catch us, nobody can touch us Running free as we are You and I (we’re iridescent) ever-gleaming things, we are Nobody can catch us, nobody can touch us Running free as we are It’s beautiful to see life happen to lose the fear and just go wild and pure – with open hearts Watch us live. Watch us glow.

The War 04:51
Sometimes, I hear my fear crying louder than usual, and I feel so small these times, I’m tired of trying in doubts I am drowning, and it gets so hard to trust myself and I, I want to feel nothing be immune to the buzzing, from all the noise And right, when everything’s crashing I feel my heart beating and I remember why I breathe Sometimes, it’s okay to be weak We’re all human, we all know this What matters is your will to get back up To be resilient, and keep living You gotta fight for who you want to be Hold on, it’s not easy, believe me Oh But if you keep on it won’t matter in the end how many battles have been lost cause we fought; and that’s how the war is won I know, it’s just for the moment my judgment is clouded, in the eye of the storm and though, I may have fallen I’ll gather my strength and know that tomorrow I’ll rise again ‘cause it’s okay to be weak We’re all human, we all know this What matters is your will to get back up To be resilient, and keep living You gotta fight for who you want to be Hold on, it’s not easy, believe me Oh But if you keep on it won’t matter in the end how many battles have been lost cause we fought; and that’s how the war is won

Magnetic 03:42
You got this power over me I can’t be away from you for too long The minute you’re gone, I’m missing you already You keep pulling me on I don’t like to admit, you’re so hard to resist But baby you’ve got all my attention And I try to ignore when you call me back for more But I always find myself giving in Magnetic, I feel the tension from afar There’s a force that’s pulling me back to you And the energy of our chemistry ignites when we’re apart It’s electric, ooh And I know you feel it too Boy – nothing gets old with you And I just can’t get enough Breaking records, it’s like the honeymoon lasts forever let’s indulge in this crazy love And I have to admit, you’re so hard to resist baby you’ve got all my attention I can’t try to ignore when you call me back for more I always find myself giving in Magnetic, I feel the tension from afar There’s a force that’s pulling me back to you And the energy of our chemistry ignites when we’re apart It’s electric, ooh And I know you feel it too

This feels like an old world Where I used to belong But not quite, not quite anymore Everything is where it should be Everything is right where I left it But something I can’t put my finger on Is not right I’m not right Please take me home To someplace I can feel all right Someplace I’ll feel like myself again I need somebody (to love me) To hold me through the night Bring me back to life Cause I’m not right I’m not right Where do I go When home is not home anymore And all that’s left is a memory (a memory) All that’s left is me Everything is where it should be Everything is right where I left it But something I can’t put my finger on Is not right Please take me home To someplace I can feel all right Someplace I feel like myself again I need somebody (to love me) To hold me through the night Bring me back to life

Can you feel me, so far away? I still dream about you here Do you remember me like I remember you? Or has it started fade? Time and space have paved their way your city’s eyes and veins have changed New lines trace years gone by, and I can only imagine your face We are stars apart One beginning a life; another at its end If I could unravel the time then maybe our lives will align I’ll be by your side, again We’re living out of memories I fear its almost out of reach Do you feel my heart still beating for you? I just miss you We are stars apart One beginning a life; another at its end If I could unravel the time then maybe our lives will align I’ll be by your side, again oh, again
