So close to you, but I can’t reach So far away, you disappear And it goes again, again and again And you’re falling, falling from the edge And you try to pull the strings from your heart But you see, the scar of who you are doesn’t leave so easily And time is running out slowly You need to free yourself from the past A shadow cast upon your bed Use the power of the blast Separate your mind from your chest And breathe my love instead ‘Til we’re back to our original state So close to you, but all I can hear Your screams, they sound like whispers to me And it goes again, again and again And you're running, running far away But you're putting strings on your heart But you see, the scar of who you are doesn’t leave so easily And time is running out so slowly, but surely Free yourself from the past A shadow cast upon your bed Use the power of the blast Separate your mind from your chest And breathe my love instead ‘Til we’re back to our original state Find me back in your memories And feel all my feels again surfacing Find me now, I am close to you I am all of you, a reminiscence of the truth Free yourself from the past A shadow cast upon your bed Use the power of the blast Separate your mind from your chest And breathe my love instead ‘Til we’re back to our original state

I’m lost inside a fortress Screaming out, but I feel like I hold the key I’ve built these walls to hide My weakness inside Escape the world and protect me But when the walls come down No one in the world will know But you’ll know, you alone As I’m writing my heart to you So you’ll know The love I’m afraid to show, but you already know How much you’re worth to me And you’ll see that I’m waiting for the sunset to come to reveal my flaws And you’ll wash them all away when my tears come up your shore Cause you’re my home, my away My safe place, my escape You reach under the surface You let me out, out of space, Where I can breathe again You give my life a meaning You give my heart his beat Now I can let it speak And people will walk away But I’ll stay for the pain The way you make me feel Right through my mistakes I’m tired of being the one that hurts you But I feel that I’m gonna break it Again But when the walls come down No one in the world will know But you’ll know how I feel As I’m writing my heart to you All the mistakes I did And I’m all that I fear You know how much you’re worth to me And you’ll see that I’m waiting for the sunset to come to reveal my flaws And you’ll wash them all away when my tears come up your shore Cause you’re my home, my away My love, my pain, My safe place, my escape

Hide in your shadow To live another day You’re safe inside your sorrow No one sees you there Block away the light The constant expectations They want you to fight, Escape, abort the mission ‘Cause you’re a mystery to them It’s when the sun is hiding you that I see you shining And when the stars are sheltering you, I see you rising Why do I try to reach you, you’re hundred miles away As I lie here watching you You’re beautiful today The night sky is clear And alone in the middle You wanna hide your fear I wanna solve your riddle I’ve studied from afar You’ve seen the way I stare I want to know your secret Am I even aware That you and I are the same It’s when the sun is hiding you that I see you shining And when the stars are sheltering you, I see you rising Why do I try to reach you, you’re hundred miles away

When I wake up I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you When I go out I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you And I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles To fall down at your door When I'm working I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you And when I grow old I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you And I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles To fall down at your door When I'm lonely, I know I'm gonna be lonely without you And when I'm dreaming I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you And I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles To fall down at your door And I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles To fall down at your door

about

At the origin of the epic pop-rock style of the first album, there was only me and my guitar. This acoustic EP is going back to the roots and share a more intimate side of The Aloom Project.
