The Place Beyond 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Dizzying heights That is where I wanna be Lost in the sky Falling, dying to be free But look at me Am I everything I ought to be? Something's never been quite right I've been running all my life Heart burns red but still feels cold Face so young and soul so old I'm going where I should have been all along Sunsets on the Amazon Take me to the place beyond Marching where the mighty fall In the jungles deep and tall Lost in those eyes This is where I wanna be Fate in disguise Nothing's what it seems to be So peacefully Everybody's always smiling at me But something's never been quite right Crack my doors but hide my eyes Heart burns red but still feels cold Secrets too big to be told I'm going where I should have been all along Sunsets on the Amazon Take me to the place beyond Marching where the mighty fall In the jungles deep and tall Sunsets on the Amazon Take me to the place beyond Marching where the mighty fall In the jungles deep and tall In the jungles deep and tall In the jungles deep

Heart 04:10

I find myself wandering Find myself wondering If I'm doing it all wrong I don't want to think about it I just want to breathe and be whatever's on my mind Help me to let go Help me to let go Help me to let go And be more I've got no expectations My heart is in control My heart is in control I feel no hesitation My heart is in control My heart is in control Now I see the colors I see the spectrum open up Before my eyes Yesterday I walked in a straight line Today I dance with all the elements I'm one with all the elements Let go Help me to let go Help me to let go And be more I've got no expectation My heart is in control My heart is in control I feel no hesitation My heart is in control My heart is in control I feel no separation I've got no expectation My heart is in control My heart is in control I feel no hesitation My heart is in control My heart is in control

Real 03:39
lyrics

I can feel it coming in the silent night I can see it coming with my second sight My heart's alive and I'm terrified to see What lies in side I'm starting to become more real There's a gentle urgency I can't explain All these new ideas want to know my name My mind's alive and I'm terrified to know What lies inside As I finally start to feel more real All that I believe in Is under my skin Gonna breathe the world in Under my skin Every time I look into the ancient sky I feel a sense of knowing that my soul can fly My soul's alive and I'm terrified to feel What lies inside I'm remembering how to be more real All that I believe in Is under my skin Gonna breathe the world in Under my skin All that I believe in Is under my skin Gonna breathe the world in Under my skin

I can't live in limitation I'm a creature of divine creation I don't need those expectations I'm a child of the constellations I try to fit in sometimes But I can't breathe I dream of the sky sometimes When I'm falling I'm learning how to let myself be I'm learning how to let my soul breathe Take a step with me If you're ready, we'll finally Be who we wanna be Take a step with me If you're ready, we'll finally Feel part of everything 'Cause I don't wanna hide Anymore Won't you come with me Take a step with me I can't live in disillusion Lungs are choking on this old pollution Shaking free of my illusion Now I'm searching for my own solutions I wanna go back sometimes You were with me I dream of the past sometimes We were happy I'm learning how to let myself be I'm learning how to let my soul breathe Take a step with me If you're ready, we'll finally Be who we wanna be Take a step with me If you're ready, we'll finally Feel part of everything 'Cause I don't wanna hide Anymore Won't you come with me Take a step with me Won't you come with me Take a step with me Won't you come with me Take a step with me

Empty, grasping That's how I feel inside Don't like myself I gotta fix my mind I wanna heal inside So I can be better for you I wanna fill my heart So I've got more to give you 'Cause I can't give what I don't let in No I can't give what I don't let in Overflow, overflow Fill me, fill me Overflow, overflow Fill me, fill me up Let me love you from my overflow Let me love you from my overflow I see it in my mind The fragments coming together We'll show them how to live To love better and better But it has to start with my broken heart It has to start with my broken heart Jealous, shallow That's how I feel inside Don't like my life I wanna make it right I wanna live the dream So I can share it with you I wanna catch the light So I can shine it on you 'Cause I can't give what I don't let in No I can't give what I don't let in Overflow, overflow Fill me, fill me Overflow, overflow Fill me, fill me up Let me love you from my overflow Let me love you from my overflow I see it in my mind The fragments coming together We'll show them how to live To love better and better But it has to start with my open heart It has to start with my open heart Create a spark with my open heart Cast out this dark with my open heart Overflow, overflow Fill me Overflow, overflow Fill me Overflow, overflow Fill me Overflow, overflow Fill me

Sometimes I can't find my center Trying so hard to remember Who I was Before the weight of the world took me over Elemental I wanna feel like an elemental now Elemental Wanna feel like an elemental now Fire in our hearts Air in our lungs We're all just elementals coming back home tonight Maybe I don't have to hold you Maybe you can hold your own truth And your light Will shine brighter than I can imagine Elemental I feel like an elemental now Elemental I feel like an elemental now Water and earth Run in our blood We're all just elementals coming back home tonight To open your heart All it takes is a moment Elemental, elemental Elemental, elemental I feel like an elemental now, yeah I feel like an elemental now We're coming home We're coming home We're all just elementals coming back home tonight We're all just elementals coming back home tonight We're all just elementals coming back home tonight

You May Never Know 03:39
lyrics

Why is it so damn hard To see the light we hold inside? I never thought that I Could let somebody see my eyes You may never know What you did for me My soul has never felt so free The dark I tried to hide Is now a light inside of me So many things have changed But in the end the love remains I hope it lights your way When the world is not okay You may never know How you lit my soul You showed me that I can be me The dark I tried to hide Is now a light inside of me It seems like This is the ending But also It's a beginning Awakening after the dreaming Awakening after the dreaming Creating it, giving it meaning Creating it, giving it meaning Breathing, ooh Breathing, ooh ... Now we are more Now we are more And because of you I'll always Be more

Kristen Lay Charlotte, North Carolina

I'm a dream pop singer / songwriter in the US. My album “Be More” is without a doubt my most personal release yet. I always try to have a positive or inspirational quality in my music, and it has definitely been challenging turning some of my experiences into something positive that I can grow from. I feel like my music is a tremendous teacher for me, and I hope you can get something from it too! ... more
