The Pocket Queen, no wonder a complicated drum part is so smooth and playful. Her posts on IG are lessons.

I adore her. ADORE her. What a talented human being. No need for a last name. ❤❤

Terrific performance from the singer and all musicians here! Very meaningful song!

Pushing and peeling myself out of my disguise
Looking at you, now I am wondering who am I
If I could try to take you back, I couldn't define
Feeling absence of time
Knowing all is decided
There's nothing here left to find
The story's all in my mind
Pushing and peeling the layers that cover my mind
Looking into the shadow, now I notice the light
Magic is real, when you see it inside, you decide
It's like a snake shedding skin
Creating life to begin
And all you know has vanished again
Transcending virtue and sin
Feast my eyes on lower things
While beauty is a symptom of life
Gotta decide if I'm gonna see it, why?
Feast our eyes on lower things
When suffering is craving the light
Gotta decide how we're gonna heal it, why?
Feast my eyes on lower things
While beauty is a symptom of life
Gotta decide if I'm gonna see it, why?
Feast our eyes on lower things
When suffering is craving the light
Gotta decide how we're gonna heal it, why?
Yeah, gotta decide how we're gonna feel it
I (desperately) am trying to find out
Gotta know that life is fragile
Gotta know, but gotta go
I stood in awe inside a temple
Of a God I didn't know, wanna go
Find the one who understands
Why we wait for pain to change us
To let me know what life is fragile
It's like a turtle in sand
Making way to the ocean
Almost meeting the end
Because the birds are in motion, oh
Feast my eyes on lower things
While beauty is a symptom of life
Gotta decide if I'm gonna see it, why?
Feast our eyes on lower things
When suffering is craving the light
Gotta decide how we're gonna heal it, why?
Feast my eyes on lower things
While beauty is a symptom of life
Gotta decide if I'm gonna see it, why?
Feast our eyes on lower things
When suffering is craving the light
Gotta decide how we're gonna heal it, why?
Yeah, gotta decide how we're gonna feel it
I (desperately) am trying to find out
