Name: Sleepless Hearts
Duration: P00H04M08S
Description: Coralie and I co-wrote this track, with a focus of closely harmonised vocal lines to fit the mood of the lyrics.

lyrics

Sleepless hearts and restless stars.
Earning trust through tender scars.

Compelling scents serene embraces,
Laconic eyes and lustful faces.

Unsanctioned connections
Unlicensed affections
Delicate perceptions
Distracting perfection
The sweet caress of night launches fantasy's flight

Tranquil skies but anxious minds
Clouds of thoughts but clear designs

Arrested hours of sailing dreams
And shifting sights, with implicit themes.

Unsanctioned connections
Unlicensed affections
Delicate perceptions
Distracting perfection
The sweet caress of night launches fantasy's flight

This quiet leafy haven has heightened my cravings for your lips.
The last breath of day has spirited away my restraint.
With delicate touches, the fears come rushing in.
But the words that you've spoken have unbroken all of my dreams.

Unsanctioned connections
Unlicensed affections
Delicate perceptions
Distracting perfection
The sweet caress of night launches fantasy's flight
