Lyrics
We are all just waves colliding Circles we can’t see, are they hiding Spinning round and round, Nobody sees them How did we get here, we don’t know If we find the answers, will we find love, What if the search to get them all, makes us loose it all? Our shadow follows us around Is it asking me to be found Awaken from this illusion Shadows follows close behind Lurking in the corner of my mind Connected to this confusion We are all just pieces in motion Spinning around in each others commotion I see you with my eyes There’s more particles disguise Were connected to more than we know Our shadow follows us around Is it asking me to be found Awaken from this illusion Shadows follows close behind Lurking in the corner of my mind Connected to this confusion
