Like a fever in summer
I'm incendiary
Taking my time to watch with glee
Something I'm holding
Shaking loose from my grip
Making my moves float on like clouds
I've lightened my heart
I've lightened my heart
No time like the present
Ain't no life I can see
Nothing as free as this can be
Shocked and surprised
I am liberated
Feeling a warmth I can't define
I've lightened my heart
I've lightened my heart
High as a kite
With feet firmly planted
Give into the joy you hide inside
Give into the joy you hide inside
I've lightened my heart
I've lightened my heart
Come and lighten your heart now baby
Come and lighten your heart now baby
Come and lighten your heart now baby
Come and lighten your heart now baby

Dark Thoughts

It's not reasonable
All these dark thoughts in my head
Taking space away
From those I really cherish
It's always the same
The sight of joy brings me pain
I cannot bear to witness
Seeing smiles repeats the drain
I cannot stand the distance
All these dark thoughts in my head
All these dark thoughts in my head
Just a hunch that there is no end in sight
Relentless timing towards a careless bent
I cannot take this into my own hands
But I'll waste away for good
As the light shrinks to a dot
I will try to stay this path
Not to run, or shy away
But to push on through instead
All these dark thoughts in my head
All these dark thoughts in my head
All these dark thoughts in my head

I can't rewrite the past
I can't change what's been done
There's no control over time
Only time to be aware
Look ahead don't lag behind
Make it better the second time
I can't rewrite the past
I can change what I do right now
Take your pain
Let it go
Take your shame
Just let go
Take your pain
Let it go
Take your shame
Just let go
We're living the best we can
We're trying to understand
Our problems to live through
The crisis of faith within
My troubles will set and brew
My breathing gets faint and blue
Remember your mantra now
Remember your purpose too
Take your pain
Let it go
Take your shame
Just let go
