lyrics

How can I live, how can I breathe,
How can I feel, how can I see?
How can I stand, how can I be,
How can I move, how can I speak, when

What I’ve lost is, what I’ve lost is, what I’ve lost is, tell me what I’ve lost is
What I’ve lost is, what I’ve lost is

And I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean
I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean
I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean
I want all the flowers in the world

I’ve been apart, I’ve been away,
I’ve been asleep, I’ve been afraid,
I’m not around, I’m not OK,
Black hold inside I can’t escape, and

What I’ve lost is, what I’ve lost is, what I’ve lost is, tell me what I’ve lost is
What I’ve lost is, what I’ve lost is

And I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean
I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean

Floating on the ocean, floating on the ocean, oh, floating on the ocean
Floating on the ocean, floating on the ocean, oh, I’m floating on the ocean
I’m floating on the ocean I’m floating on the ocean, oh, floating on the ocean
Floating on the ocean, floating on the ocean, oh

And oh, I’ve been dying inside and
Oh, there’s nowhere left I can hide
And I’ve been running and running to get away from this pain
And now I’m slipping, I’m slipping away

And I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean
I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean

I want all the flowers in the world, floating on the ocean
[Floating on the ocean, floating on the ocean, oh]
I want all the flowers in the world

about

Alana Yorke image

Alana Yorke Halifax, Nova Scotia

Alana Yorke’s Destroyer is an art-pop stunner that represents a creative triumph and a personal transformation. From its genesis, the album was anchored in the idea of a solitary descent to face the self and come back changed. Now as she rises above the surface, Destroyer is an offering from the depths, intended to transform emotions from her singular experience into a gift of universal resonance. ... more
