Jungle 04:00
Stop, as we wait For the motions to bear Hold, all those things You hold dearly Colour, All your eyes As you stop and stare This handsome fog lies Nowhere else Time to run Time to run from the Rising sun All these shadows Behind me I thought I had to run Time to hide All these valleys to overcome All these shadows Behind me I thought I had to run Wait, Don’t you know Why I chase you through forests Attached to your soles Don’t be afraid For the darkness you give Becomes more than shade I’m Listening, To the end of the day My silence is golden I’m humble I fear As night becomes home my soul disappears singing Ooooh Time to run Time to run from the Rising sun All these shadows Behind me I thought I had to run Time to hide All these valleys to overcome All these shadows Behind me I thought I had to run

Divided And the empire should have known I'm reminded of the past once more At the bottom Of the ocean floor I've been counting all the stars below Hold on I woke in the air as I fall So long You carry the love that stands still Standing tall As the night decides to let your children go Hold still no more Chorus As you focus And the night can't bear As you focus And the old will end Right in two right in to You Why'd you pull me down As I was floating in the sky Dress me up in your old Broken suit and tie Take the air as if You'd never take it in Sunny April it will never be again Hold on I woke in the air as I fall So long You carry the love that stands still Standing tall As the night decides to let your children go Hold still no more It's time to spent it alone Across my sin It's harder and harder to stand still It's time you spent it on you It is my will It's harder and harder to stand still Hold on I woke in the air as I fall So long You carry the love that stands still Standing tall As the night decides to let your children go Hold still no more Chorus As you focus And the night can't bear As you focus And the old will end Right in two right in to You

Wild 03:40
As the wolves begin I have suffered more than you my friend Enter wild fire Beaches no longer covered in sand Fall through this I scream Ooooh Catch me as I’m falling Overhead and Oooh x2 As the wild calls Someone echoes the long lost within Call your mother Comfort no longer scares me in Your shelter I scream Ooooh Catch me As I’m falling Overhead an Oooh x2 And the forest howls x4

Botswana 02:47
The forest fires Are not the key Savannah's burning Down on her last knees Why don't you go? Botswana baby go They look to change When all the world remains the same It's closing hours I'm on my way Botswana baby go If I could make another I'd take it to, the waterfall Chasing time I ask for another Nobody knows Botswana baby go A thunderstorm What you call pain I call my home We've been dancing for the rain Botswana baby go I had to make another I made it to, the waterfall Chasing time I asked for another rainbow Chasing the light When all the skies just turn to grey When all the shallow dreams Call the night away Cast into stone For all the times he left alone He never grew to be a man I could call my own Botswana baby go

Afterglow 05:19
It's time you fell on your Renaissance I never asked you to steal this dance And if you asked me I'll never know It's time we basked in the afterglow You only had to breathe Breathe in and never out Father You take My breath away x2 It's everlasting this melody I never asked to be remedied And if you ask me I'll never know It's time we basked in the afterglow You only had to breathe Breathe in and never ever out You only had to do Whatever was asked and never doubt Father You take My breath away x2 You only had to breathe Breathe in and never ever out You only had to do Whatever was asked and never doubt

Lost Cause 04:28
Darling Open your heart ache Over the sofa (It's time to let it out) Over, over the wonders Of all those ceilings (The wolves can hear me howl) So long So long I wonder Call of the wild comes (The forest never hides) Broken Shoulder to shoulder Fighting the darkness (The end of chasing lights) Chorus Find a lost cause x4 Darling When are you sober All of the children Have grown away How do How do I wonder Electrical failure I'm chasing light (Chasing light) Find a lost cause

about

After having embarked on the longest musical journey I’d ever been on, I took the time after to reflect on what each destination meant to me, to decipher the stories, the nuances, and embrace the friendships I’d built along the way. Nobody tells you how you’re supposed to reflect on a journey of self discovery, to list pros and cons, to reminisce and forget, or to just think of the journey as the baby you sen off to college. In fact why take it in the first place? What purpose do you hope to achieve from it?

If the journey of self discovery leaves you asking more questions than answering them, is it truly a lost cause?

The Lost Cause is a project two years in the making. After Looking at the millennial generation today, we often wonder about the paths we take, the risks we face chasing our dreams, the time we take to understand ourselves. I found a lot of young people in our day and age often embark on journeys to find ourselves. Through different experiences, career experiments, or trips around the world, we embark on journeys in the hopes we can understand ourselves better. And more often than not, we find answers that don’t satisfy us, and in the end, it feels like a lost cause.

I guess I took a rather ironic look at the situation, and decided I would travel across India trying to find stories about my family and their history, looking at stories of where my father grew up, where my grandfather grew up, where my great grand father lived and worked. I figured the best way to understand who I am would be to see where I came from. I guess I looked at The Lost Cause ironically.
