lyrics

Is there a reason
To why you decide to
Ignore all the stories
You've heard in your lifetime

Blindfolded isn't broken
Your piece of mind is spoken
But your heart's not open
You keep yourself shut

Wonder why
These are the tears you cried
These are the years gone by
Wonder why
All those fears arise
If you refuse to fight

Face all the reasons
Don't underestimate
The power inside you
That sets you aside

Through all the seasons
You keep your color on
You don't wanna hide it
Just give it a shot

Wonder why
These are the tears you cried
These are the years gone by
Wonder why
All those fears arise
If you refuse to fight

In the middle of New York City
Where all dreams and fears come true at last
You can have yourself some mighty pretty thoughts or things
That never ever last
You can drive yourself up to the sky
Bouncing off the cabs and cadillacs
But you know you wanna stay alive like you ever really had a chance
Dazzling doors and heights you never get to
Make your head go round, heart skips a beat
All you want is here
And all you need to
Is to change the way your body fits
Mind admits these games are hard to play
But you really don't have another way
Life is on, you're on your own with your own fear of the unknown
In the middle of New York City
Where you really happen to belong

There's a reason
To why you decide to
Ignore all the stories
And let yourself shine

about

Scarlet Sails Los Angeles, California

Olya Scarlet met Dresden Dolls drummer, Brian Viglione in 2013 at a rock show. They formed Scarlet Sails soon after, where they introduced the elaborate blend of piano pop & theatrical rock with a grandiose flair, and Olya's raw and one-of-a-kind voice, and her honest, existential lyricism decorate their sound with rasp and swagger. ... more
