lyrics

Ten feet tall the ghosts do roam,
Love can't live too far from home.
Blooming seeds once planted sewn,
Golden light the forests grown.

You're not alone,
Feeling alone.

She's not the one who's hard to work with.
She's not the one who's got to change her ways.
She is the who makes struggle pay off.
She is the one balances the chaos, Who balances the chaos.

Half the ladder twice the rungs,
Coaxed the most loquacious tongues.
An uphill battle on biased ground,
Denies the mountain scape around.

You're not alone,
Feeling alone.

She's not the one who's hard to work with.
She's not the one who's got to change her ways.
She is the who makes struggle pay off.
She is the one balances the chaos, Who balances the chaos.

Underneith the pale moonlight,
Burn traumas, release the night.
Come what may full moon eclipse,
In the dark like passing ships.
