I feel ashamed Cause your heart breaks in ways That I'll never know Torture, torture, torch your town Set it ablaze It's okay Am I a heathen for Wanting more than this? Oh I wanna let the old ways die And put my mind at ease At ease Ease Ease Ease I gotta try To feed my soul When I bleed my eyes Oh Cause I know It'll take more time than I can go Am I a heathen for not Being more than this I wanna let the old ways die And put my mind at ease At Ease Ease Ease Ease Consider this to be my final goodbye I used to miss the days I wanted to fly In the abyss I gave up wanting to trying But now I reminisce when gazing up at the sky I'm convinced that it's all an illusion I just wanna rinse my soul from this confusion My supply of happiness is misconstrued when I begin to tap into the bliss of seclusion I don't need a reply I just need to rewind And be free from the lies I believe over time So when the old ways die I'll be please To finally achieve a state of mind that's at ease At Ease Ease Ease Ease credits

Feels Right 03:31
And I don't wanna be high forever But I would take a moment To escape From this madness If I could Get away Just one breath You and me Ride out Forever and ever And never Come back Let's just take off tonight And never come back Cause it just feels right (Just feels right just feels right) Oh it just feels right (It just feels right, just feels right) Just feels right (Just feels right) Yeah yeah…mhmmm And I don't where, you can drive the car As long as you dance back into my arms I'll keep you safe from harm Oh and paradise don't gotta be far It can be cheap Long as it's ours We can be free baby we can see stars So let's take off tonight And never come back Cause it just feels right (Just feels right, just feels right) Oh it just feels right (It just feels right, just feels right) Oh it just feels right Just feels right) (Just feels right, just feels right) Oh! (Feels right, just feels right) Oh it just feels right (Feels right, just feels right)

Grayish clouds hanging around Weighing down your smile Yesterday will fade away But it seems to take a while I just want to see you bright again I would love to make you laugh And if I can't warm you I'm still gonna try Cause I adore you Even when you cry Cry Cry Summer days, your streets ablaze With thunderstorms inside Sidewalk blues, I feel it too Because your pain is mine I just want to see you bright again I would love to make you laugh And if I can't warm you I'm still gonna try Cause I adore you Even when you cry Cry Cry And if I can't warm you I'm still gonna try Cause I adore you Even when you Cry Cry

Real Love 04:15
The summer blinks her tired eyes The cold breeze kisses you and I But I wanna feel red like these autumn trees I need your warmth I need your mystery So show me how when the sun goes down When the nights get long And the days are gone Can you show me skies That look like real life With stars that electrify Because I need to feel Something more than the storm That we've been swimming in Cause I need to believe That this is more than just a dream More than fantasy my dear So give me all your real love All your real love baby All your real love Give me all your real love baby All your real love I see your shadows Grow with time The darkest parts we Don't know how to hide And we might feel scared but it's who we are A galaxy ain't just shooting stars So show me how we can See through clouds When blood spills out And the war is loud Can you show me skies That make it all worthwhile With stars that electrify Because I need to feel Something more than the storm That we've been swimming in Because I need to believe That this is more than just a dream More than fantasy my dear Give me all your real love All your real love baby All your real love Give me all your real love my dear All your real love, oh So make me feel Like it's for real Even when we change That our love remains Gotta see that spark Even in the dark With stars that will light the way Because I need to feel Something more than the storm That we've been swimming in Cause I need to believe That this is more than just a dream More than fantasy my dear So give me all your real love All your real love baby All your real love Give me all your real love my dear All your real love Give me all your real love

Sunsets 02:34
I remember nights You would cry your deepest regrets But I guess times change cause You seem like you'd rather forget And I know you're not no angel But you gotta try more than this So show us all the colors that I know you adore Cause those are the things we miss Don't fade away Please don't fade Don't fade Dancing through the valley Feeling like you're all alone I gotta chair if you come over here And I'll open my heart and my home And you know I'm not no angel But I'd love to give you some bliss Won't you show us all the colors that I know you adore Cause those are the things we miss Don't fade away Please don't fade, woah Fade, no no no Please don't fade credits

Closer 03:19
I don't need No fancy things Life don't read like poetry it's More like ripped jeans Cause real love Can feel tough Coffee black no cream Colored glass daydreams You can't synthesize Real life, real life Whatever brings me closer to The light, oh Whatever brings me closer to The light Ok yeah now let's look No textbook Ripped up pages make a story stranger Sometimes it's best to walk away Or stay But no piece of paper Can be a savior It will betray you Make you ashamed of The things you tried To cover up your lies, your lies Whatever gets me closer to The light, oh Whatever brings me closer to The light Whatever gets me closer to The light, oh Whatever brings me closer to The light

I cannot believe it’s true That I get to be in love with you I cannot believe it’s true That I get to be in love with you I don’t know if tomorrow will come But I think you might be the one Oh I can’t tell if tomorrow will come But I think you might be the one Oh! Will you stay with me As we cross these empty skies? I pray that you don’t go Don’t go Don’t go Please baby don’t go Baby don’t go Don't go

Diamond Life 02:47
Man it’s hard to focus Eyes are open Lines from notebooks Flash across my consciousness Try to speak with common sense But I can’t say things in this phase No... Oh what I would trade To drink one of summer’s golden days But winter came early And spring came late If I could find a way For us to lay (Stay) Here with you (You) With you Let me stay here with you (You) Yeah, yeah It’s been cold dream after cold dream The whole world like a nose bleed We been stuck under this ice for so long Start to miss the sun And the days when we were young Just daydream, care-free, make believe Oh what I would trade If I could smell the roses from yesterday And my flowers fade But it’s okay Cause we can find a way For us to lay (Stay) With you Let me stay Here with you (You) Let me stay here with you

about

Sun Covered Diamonds is my debut full-length album as Naja. To me, the album represents the beauty in the universal hardship we experience as humans. I offer you something honest and vulnerable but uplifting. Enjoy :)
