body in she's feeling fine the rhythm running down her spine she looks around but she can't find the one that she's been waiting blind for once again it's the same old story dreams of finding love on the floor she holds her hands up high to the ceiling all she wants to know is the feeling yeah, they know but they don't care oh, they'll just sit back and get on with the show picking up he stands by the stereo 'cause the music beats with his body oh watching on as the lovers go by you gotta hold your breath before you let it go once again it's the same old tale dreams of finding love in the pale fog of absent-minded waiting all he'll ever know is the patience yeah, they know but they don't care oh, they'll just sit back and get on with the show body out she's feeling tired and the rhythm doesn't run with her mind she looks around she still can't find the one that she's been waiting blind for 'cause he's standing there by the stereo music beats out of tune with his body oh watching on and hoping for a lover all he's gotta do is just get up and go yeah, they know but they don't care oh, they'll just sit back and get on with the show he could have been so much more to her she could have been so much more he could have been so much more to her she could have been so much more (etc) they could have been so much more

Campfire 05:21
sunlight through trees like sand in its toes falling leaves calling our names but we don't even know ourselves no need in waiting for the skies to sleep this silence is comfort, holds secrets that we forgot to keep broken glass in shattered harmony stars will change and we'll stay the same stones ring the place where fire once was and will be again darkness comes creeping through fragments of our temporary home the air - still as ice - it reminds us that we are on our own picking out constellations that cannot exist guided by maps of the veins on our wrists broken glass in shattered harmony stars will change and we'll stay the same stones ring the place where fire once was and will be again we're not afraid of being alone we're just lying here tired needing some body to hold close to our own

I've seen you, but I haven't looked at you for weeks 'cause all I do is stay awake and you just sleep but your affable alacrity could break the stormiest of seas some things are as simple as they seem no you're never going to get far if you're heard and you're not seen step towards that yellow light and don't shy away we can try again another day but fuel won't be enough to make you feel I've seen you, but I haven't looked at you for weeks 'cause all I do is stay awake and you just sleep but your affable alacrity could break the stormiest of seas how did all these knots get so undone 'cause this addiction is the friction when it comes and you can't sing with iron lungs when the feeling's gone and your body is numb soon there will be a big enough tear for you to breathe I've seen you, but I haven't looked at you for weeks 'cause all I do is stay awake and you just sleep but your affable alacrity could break the stormiest of seas

Driftwood 03:00
took the wrong train to the wrong home you alone know the reason that you're smiling at your phone stuck in a familiar place that you don't know flower loses beauty only when you think it so days spent knocking on driftwood a gift for your own good think you're alone but you're just 3000 miles from home bitter taste to drown it out bruised lips lack of a kiss that you could do without letters miss the finger strokes misread words, stomach blurs, you choke days spent knocking on driftwood a gift for your own you think you're alone but you're just 3000 miles from home bed ridden, self taught irrelevance the quieter you are the more you hear heavy chest pulls you under but you'll come up my darling, my dear days spent knocking on driftwood a gift for your own good think you're alone but you're just 3000 miles from days spent knocking on driftwood a gift for your own good think you're alone but you're just 3000 miles from home

Distance 04:05
stand down, fall in, fall out it's warm in here and the world's so cold winter takes the glow of autumn but it can't make me move, it can't make me prove that I'm willing and I, I don't want to leave this bed I'm high, dancing on hilltops in my head I'm tired of feeling tired with all intents to be more I'm sick of being bound by the thought that it's I the thought that it's me who makes it all and I, I don't want to leave this bed the sky, outside the sky is burning red all the colours of love and war, an ode to this persistance misting up eyes and staining floor, and I'll just keep my distance it's not always you x4 but this time it's true x4 it's not always true x4 but this time it's you x4 and I, I don't want to leave this bed the sky, outside the sky is burning red all the colours of love and war, an ode to this persistance misting up eyes and staining floor, and I'll just keep my distance

Golden Girl 02:52
waking up Monday, going through the gears having nothing to fear is the worst of all her fears stopped in her tracks, he tells her 'will you see me tonight?' doesn't want to give in but puts up no trace of a fight couldn't change what she said, tied in knots by a thread little golden girl steps through the doorway, feeling like she shouldn't be here hear him call from the hallway, 'you're in for a treat my dear' every step that she takes, the nerves build up inside thinks it's an obligation to let her own feelings slide let him take her to bed, and she couldn't have fled broken golden girl everyone's heard, she can't escape the truth crushed by the words, setting the darkness loose told that she is to blame, her fault for not saying no how couldn't he tell that her fear was in full show? beaten 'till her heart bled, now it was filling with dread not so golden, girl sits alone in her bedroom, her walls are caving in a forest of hate grew from the seed of that single sin no voice in her silence, no light to break her night couldn't face the torture, she gave in without a fight couldn't change what she said, tied in knots by a thread (little golden girl) let him take her to bed, and she couldn't have fled (broken golden girl) beaten till her heart bled, now it was filling with dread (not so golden, girl) oh it's all in her head, thought she'd be better off dead she was a golden girl.

Falling 05:24
eyes too red and full of tears to cry if I could live a day the way you live your life all around me, they're falling in love falling in love falling in love and I'm just falling shadows of dancers cast upon walls he said "leave those you depend on, they were never there at all" but everything is just a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of you and I can't seem to find the original all around me, they're falling in love falling in love falling in love and I'm just falling eyes are useless when the mind is blind if contradiction is all that remains, you'll be fine all around me, they're falling in love falling in love falling in love and I'm just falling -instrumental- all around me, they're falling in love falling in love falling in love and I'm just falling

Rise 04:17
don't wake up, you never slept rise with the morning sun let it take your hand you never kept the promises 'till the night was done running through the wet grass feel the freedom of each blade tickling your skin, the feeling can't last forget all of the plans you made it's not hard to put one foot down and another, and again, and again breathe it in, let the sunrise fill your veins soon you'll be home hay bales lit by gentle light there's nobody here, they all lay down as we reach the height the moors and the dales can touch the sky streams are winding all around water so pure and wild and true softly surrender to its balanced sound fresh air washes over you it's not hard to put one foot down and another, and again, and again breathe it in, let the sunrise fill your veins soon you'll be home soon you'll be home

about

A chilled and stripped back mixture of acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies.

It would be lovely if you purchased the whole EP, however, by all means only download the tracks you enjoy listening to, there's no judgement here :) Every little helps, and I would love feedback!

All proceeds will fund my 2016 expedition to Malawi.
