I Just Want You To Know

Don’t you wish for wings to fly
To blow yourself away from lies

Tell me, don’t you dream for will to scream
To keep your grief from mournful colors
(your head out of the water)

I just want you to know
We’re all feeding illusions,
Aren’t we all the same
Hopeless whispers sketching love
From all the shame
We’re so much more than noise

Don’t you wish for sounds to last
To raise your voice to reach the sky 
Tell me, don’t you crave for strength to cry
To get your light a drifting blast

I know that you can’t stand these feelings anymore
It’s killing you, it’s killing you inside, it’s killing you inside

I know that you can’t stand these feelings anymore
It’s killing you, it’s killing you inside, killing you inside

I just want you to know
We’re all feeding illusions,
Aren’t we all the same
Hopeless whispers sketching love
From all the shame
We’re so much more than noise

I’m wondering if there’s a place to lay down
To feel the ground within the wounds of desperation
I’ve prayed once, got through the door, to touch His crown
Faith is pretty much like pain, hard to let go all at once
I guess comfort remains somewhere higher, so much higher
Until we got there, I guess we’re nothing but public show,
Guess, we’re all waiting for someone else’s voice to call us home

I just want you to know
We’re all feeding illusions,
Aren’t we all the same
Hopeless whispers sketching love
From all the shame
We’re so much more than noise

  1. Brother.... the message you filled this Materpiece with is one of the deepest that I've ever heard or read... This single little part of the new album proves it is worth waiting for... I knew it was, but now I feel it with my very self. THANK YOU. This song is a way out, a door to the true life, the life everyone should have a chance to live, for so many of those craving for it and those who doesn't dare to... Thank you, Alex... Your heart opens that door, as it's a voice the song speak with.
    I love you

  3. Amazing Alex. I am at a lost for words. This light that shines through the words inspired by Him is all I ever wanted.I saw that light when I was there and and now my prayer has been answered. Though the pain we are refined to do His work for His Glory. Love you and can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

  4. To read these words and to hear you sing them instils both a burning fire and deep peace. The light shining from you is a beacon, a living pathway that transcends all chaos and points the way to freedom. Thank you for sharing it in such a loving way. Love you Alex.

  5. This song means a lot for me... maybe more than you could imagine, cause it's the first time that I feel like I am not a lonely freak in my world. ''we're all the same''!!!!!!!

  6. I heard the song for the first time during the live chat a few weeks ago...and I recognized that you found exactly the words I was looking for the day before the chat. Because I lost a dear friend on that day during a huge argument where I just wanted to help him to open his eyes. Your lyrics gave me back the sparkle of hope that this friend will come back into my life one day recognizing that he trusted the wrong people. :) Thanks so much Alex. :) xoxo

  7. I guess Gustave Flaubert was right on this: "I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings..."
