lyrics

Clarity
Written by Aida Alves

[VERSE 1]
Looking for a ride
Waiting for the night
Singing to the trees
While they rest notes in their leaves
It keeps me on track
On the path where I lead
Following the breeze
Only thing that won't drop me to my knees

[HOOK]
Where do I go?
I can’t run anymore
Time is all I control
My home is my soul
Can’t let the past haunt me
Won’t claim to be the future me
All I need is some peace and clarity
To put my mind at ease

[VERSE 2]
There’s still life in me you see
Filled with your misery
Twirling lies
Still kicking it in the sky
Walking in a maze
Feelin the haze
Born to dream
But you tried to take it away from me

[Bridge]

When I close my eyes
I’m hypnotised
body sways
I feel alive
Nothin I do
But I’m free without you

I broke the chains
The ones you made
Undo the program
You planted in my head
It’s not up to you
Your lost without me
Not lost without you

Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel
I don’t care
I don’t care
Tell me how you feel
