      She just has it all really, the lyrics are beautiful and soulful, and usually that's what I don't feel as much with most music.
      But what I love most about her: She is a part of the rest of the band, this girl doesn't know the meaning of the word _fronting._ And I think that's the most powerful place any musician can be. The same can be said for this entire band.

    [Verse 1] x2
    Free range of the mind
    Maps the fire coasting the sidelines
    Contact with an ease
    Tarnish point of the supreme
    Is it the strength of your fearless over throwing your pain
    You’ll see new heights you’ll be reaching
    Is it today that you will find your new release?
    And in your wake ripples your sweet fate
    [Verse 2]
    In the death of the grip of the mask
    That’s covering your simple love for the part
    Of your soul so warm and vast
    And I can hear the hinges struggle to last rusting
    Feel my feathers rush from the past
    [Chorus] x2
    Building a ladder of love to you
    And I hope that love you build one too
    Building a ladder of love to you
    And I hope that love you build one too
    And then we fly away
    Hand in hand we fly away
    Hand in han
