See the video here





Cut my ties with earth 

Set my spirits free 

Let me close my eyes 

This is not where I want to be 

You left me standing here 

Alone in my path 

Now I know not where to go 

We have never lived apart 

Cut my ties with earth 

Set my spirits free 

Let me close my eyes 

Next time 

I want to meet you in a place

Where you want to be

    I love this. It speaks to my beliefs in reincarnation, which help me understand this chaotic world.
