1.	Silver Moon 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Silver moon Out on the terrace Makes my body gravitate upwards Silver moon Lends me inspiration A mixture of mortality And her I don’t want to let you paint my life I don’t need to see your picture in my mind I don’t seek your shredded piece of light I breathe now that’s all I got Silver chains Form a silver necklace Locks my soul And tames my heart Silver cuffs My Shining silver bracelet Soothes my pain And locks my veins. I don’t want to let you cage my life I don’t need to see your face through shining glass I don’t seek your fake approving smile I dream now, that’s all I got Oh your shadow gleams Through moonlit silver beams They fill the streets And chase me in my dreams Outside or in hey creep through everything But I won’t let you rule My silver moon Silver Moon Slowly turning over Night fades A new morning starts
2.	Morty's Lullaby 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Grow up to be Nice and pretty Never feel A pain Grow up to be Soft and skinny Never think A sin Little girl don't cry Mom ain't far away Little girl Don't cry Morty's on his way The world is drowning Flooded with rain There's no room for your tears Ghosts and thieves In the alleys Trying to break in But I won't let them creep Through your window You're safe when I am here So sink into Your pink warm pillow I'll push away your fears Little girl don't cry Mom ain't far away Little girl don't cry Morty's on his way Yael, my girl Sleep tight Trust in me Yael, my girl You'll grow up to be Just what I want you to be Close your eyes and follow The dreams Not yours Mine Not yours Mine.
3.	Another War 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Blood On the wall Of my town Of my home Blood in the streets Running deep Under my feet And it flows And it grows More! We fell so low Each other’s tears Don’t burn us anymore. Lost and pleading to the sky But when will we try To dry the weeping eye? "They killed first" "And they killed more" "They were crueler" "We never wanted war!" "You know it’s their fault" "The world doesn’t care" "They will destroy us" "So let's kill ’em first" And it grows And it flows We fell so low Now mothers' tears Don’t melt us anymore Lost and pleading to the sky But when will we try To dry the weeping eye? Blood on the news How you love to accuse Blood on your lips In your eyes When you preach You don’t care what right “Come watch us We’ve got blood!” I’m lucky, I know My eyes can face the horror My feet can run for shelter And my body never felt a sore But I know that my heart Will not bear Another war.

Blue Blue Like Wind One One Like all And Sweet Warm Like an apple Open mouth Flown Blown Like all Gone Sea sea There Go There! Everything is water You dive At sea Too Sea sea There Go there Everything flows You’re washed Blue Blue Like Wind One Alone Like all כחול כחול כמו רוח אחד אחד כמו כולם ומתוק חם כתפוח פה פתוח עף נידף כמו כולם נעלם ים ים שם לשם הכל מים אתה צולל בים גם ים ים שם לשם! הכל זורם אתה נסחף כחול כחול כמו רוח אחד לבד כמו כולם אך חום עולה כשאתה איתם מוזיקה מציפה קצף על פני הלעולם חול כחול חול כחול כמו רוח רוח רוח עמוק רחוק עמוק רחוק מכאן עכשיו משב יד ביד כחול כחול כמו רוח
5.	Out on the Water 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Out on the Water Cruising at sea Rubber boat Twenty refugees Out on the water Darkening sky Is there someone who will hear us When the waves start to Rise? Any pair of eyes deserves to see sun Any pair of feet deserves a solid ground Any one of us has hands to hold a gun Or embrace What do you do with your time On this planet’s face? Out on the water Mother and son Kiss on the forehead “We’re almost done” Out on the water “Don’t let go of me” Only the waves decide Who lives Or dies Any pair of eyes deserves to see sun Any pair of feet deserves a solid ground Any one of us has hands to hold a gun Or embrace What do you do with your time On this planet’s face? You can’t tame the waves You can’t tell the water not to rise You can’t tame the sea Or bring light in the sky You can’t tame the waves You can’t tell the water not to rise You can’t tame the sea Or bring light Between steady land And endless sea There is a thin line of sand You and me Just a thin line of sand You
6.	Pain and Grace 02:50	lyrics	buy track
Learning to live in the moment Without the fear of letting go Lying in the sun Without a burn to show Living the present With the sweetness of Nostalgia Letting yourself Glow In a place between Sadness and Joy In a place Between Pain and Grace Refusing To wear a mask When searching Is an unbearable task Without pretending Or acting strange Learning to make An inner Change In a place between Despair and Hope In a place Between Pain and Grace Letting go of our doubts As we’re falling in love Embracing each other There’s nothing To fear In a place between Far and Near In a place Between Pain and Grace
7.	8 in a Church 03:24	lyrics	buy track
8 in a church Chose the wrong skin 9 in a synagogue Born into a sin. 12 on a bus chose the wrong race, Someone had to put an end to the disgrace 6 in a mosque Chose a vicious faith 2 walking down the street Simply loved Wrong. When will we start seeing souls? Look each other in the eyes? Instead of getting it to stop We cling to the isolating mind It's Body Count Time Well, the news says They bring up crime The paper read It’s just a matter of time ‘til they take over They’ll ruin me I won’t let it be I won’t let it be. It’s in their culture it’s in their genes There’s only so much you can do, You know what I mean? You gotta make it stop It’s them or us It’s just the way that they were raised Brain washed from the start brain washed from the start Brain Washed From The Start. When will we start seeing souls? Look each other in the eyes? Instead of getting it to stop We cling to the isolating mind How many more? How many more? How many more how many more howmanymorehowmanymore? When will we start seeing souls? Look each other in the eyes? Instead of getting it to stop We cling to the isolating mind How many more times?
8.	People Sing for Peace 04:23	lyrics	buy track
People sing for peace That’s how they share a story People sing for peace to go back home People sing for peace Defuse the songs of glory People sing for peace to bear unknown Who wants to go back to the fire? Nobody wants To get back to the storm People sing for peace To soothe a burning horror Memories that attempt To melt your joy People sing for peace To dry a well of sorrow Slowly overflows when they’re alone Who wants To rise back from the fire? Nobody wants To drown up the storm Sing for peace. People sing for peace That’s how we change the story People sing for peace To build a home People sing for peace Deny the lies of glory People sing for peace Embrace unknown Even in Chaos Even in Blood even in chaos even in blood Sing for Peace Oh it’s ok to have Hope We’re allowed to have Hope Sing for Peace.

about

About the album:

When you hear the word “Water,” what comes to mind?
Do you think of a cold, refreshing glass of H2O on a hot day? Of raindrops in dark skies? Or maybe of ocean waves?
To me, “Water” is a word full of contradiction: It’s a source of life, an essential part of our bodies, but at the same time, it’s something much bigger than us- like the raging seas and untamable waves.

"Out on the Water" is an indie-rock fusion album that grapples with such contradictions: of human weakness and strength, of beauty and pain. From pressing societal issues (like migration, conflict, and various “isms”), to the personal questions you might ask yourself in the middle of the night.
