Skeptical Motion
Lyrics and music by Oaks Above
Surrounded by the night Staring at an empty sky Everything around me seems to be so still
Up there, I’m trying to draw
A face in a skeptical motion And I don’t know if it is all for naught
But until I do, my soul won’t know rest
If your heart is lost
Will the world give you a hand? If your heart is lost
Will the world drag you in its depths? If your heart is lost...
If only I could see Through the boundaries of the void I’m into
Everything around me holds a mystery
If your heart is lost
Will the world give you a hand? If your heart is lost
Will the world drag you in its depths? If your heart is lost...
Ooh
Everything is a mystery
Surrounded by the night
If your heart is lost
Will the world give you a hand? If your heart is lost
Will the world drag you in its depths? If your heart is lost...
(If your heart is lost)
I don’t know if it’s all for naught (If your heart is lost)
But until I do, my soul won’t know rest

Alone in the water our bodies so near
Conflicted perceptions directed by fear
I can feel your desire's gaze through the mist
The power of lust growing stronger
Should we not resist
Touch me, kiss me
Oooooooooooh
Take me, hold me
Oooooooooooh
Listen to our voices dancing in the night
A perfect harmony on which we subsist
We are bound together under the starlight
Before such attraction we're helpless
We cannot resist
Touch me, kiss me
Oooooooooooh
Take me, hold me
Oooooooooooh
Hmmm take me
Hold me
Kiss me

How are you feeling right now?
Are your thoughts running wild again?
Are you still asking yourself why this, why that?
Some questions won't find any answers
Red flower raise your head
The shadow of a tree is no place for you to be forever
A fragmented sun will still light up your heart
Burry your feet
Deep into the ground (x4)
Hold my hand and try to catch your breath
The world does not always have to be on fire
Give me a part of the weight lurking on your shoulders
You gotta stop feeding your inner fears
Red flower raise your head
The shadow of a tree is no place for you to be forever
A fragmented sun will still light up your heart
Burry your feet
Deep into the ground (x4)

Horizon
Lyrics and music by Oaks
Oh skies, can you hear me?
Or are you only watching, are you only watching? Could you let your rain fall on my skin?
‘Cause in a desert I’m walking, in a desert I’m walking
Walls of sand keep sending me
In the wrong direction, in the wrong direction
I’m following my own footprints
As they slowly disappear, as they slowly disappear
I hope that I will find a cave In which I’ll be able to rest
And think of a way back home
Every minute that goes by
The horizon seems to change, the horizon seems to change
I know I’ll have to make a stand
If I want to survive, if I want to survive
I wish that I could see the stars
And let my reason find its way I’ve been lost for so long

Ships
Lyrics by Oaks and Nicolas Whiting, music by Oaks
Hear me out
The tides have led us astray
This story was not supposed to end in such a way
We put on masks and left our souls on a shelf
Can you still call it love when you start loosin’ yourself?
Why did we forget all those dreams we had when it all began?
And why did we fail to care?
Memories are not like a book you can burn or throw away
It feels so cold, and I know it’s too late
But do you have to look at me like a stranger
now that the storm is no more?
Your eyes burn me, and I know it’s our fate
But do you have to look at me like a stranger
now that the storm is no more?
The masks are down
We keep our distance and ignite
As we pass each other like two lonely ships in the night
Why did we forget all those dreams we had when it all began?
And why did we fail to care?
Memories are not like a book you can burn or throw away
It feels so cold, and I know it’s too late
But do you have to look at me like a stranger
now that the storm is no more?
Your eyes burn me, and I know it’s our fate
But do you have to look at me like a stranger
now that the storm is no more?

Together

Fire roaming in the sky
Tainted by the ashes rushing into my eyes
Still resonating inside
The clashing sound of the sword and the shield
I'm running in between the shadows
of the souls, of the man we left behind I'm afraid my fears must keep on burning No peace, no rest for the wicked
Together we will fall Together we will stand
We won't know who we are ‘ till the end, 'till the end
Am I the only one wondering why
Hatred is louder than the words of the wise When did we let Pride be the guide
A scarlet queen to whom we have kneeled
I'm still running in between the shadows of the souls, of the man we left behind I'm afraid my fears must keep on burning No peace, no rest for the wicked
Together we will fall Together we will stand
We won't know who we are 'till the end, 'till the end
Some of my brothers are breathing still
My fate is decided but my heart is set
With the taste of blood on the tip of my tongue I'm jumping into the fray
There is no time to waste
Together we will fall Together we will stand
We won't know who we are ‘ till the end, 'till the end
(X2)

December

There you are in front of me
You seem lost between the lines
Months scattered in my mind mere seconds In the grand scheme of things
Look at us between four walls
Stuck as we see each other’s face
Your timid smile tells a story
But your eyes tell the one you will write
The heart I sent to war
Came back a stranger
Yet it hurts when I see you
When I see us clad in December
As I stand in the middle of this moving place Without a name
I realize you are gone, that you left me
Just like you did before
It’s my turn to move away
Stay on my own from here on out Maybe it’s for the best if we have said All that had to be said
The heart I sent to war
Came back a stranger
Yet it hurts when I see you
When I see us clad in December
