Little Spark

It's okay to feel so small
Got ten foot walls towering above you
You lay there on the rooftop
No one there, nobody to love you
Colossal clouds, colors of the dark
Galaxies never found
My little spark observing it's big spark
Turn on the stars, the street lamps of Mars
I've been waiting for the night to fall
Turn on the stars, the street lamps of Mars
I'll rest until the birds go
Colossal clouds, colors of the dark
Galaxies never found
My little spark observing it's big spark

Nostalgia

Suspended in nostalgia
I find your name hanging in my memories
I fill myself up with your gaze
Oh what a maze you've put me in
I spy with my little eye
Your wide eyes that take me time traveling
It feels like, swimming, swimming with my eyes closed
Nose to nose, you just, you just fucking know
Oh, remind me of your name again
As you take me on that train again
Back to the pavements that we walked, and walked
Oh, the drugs that made us talk and talk
And I'll take you dancing, I'll take you round and round
I'll lead you to the hilltops, and I'll take you on the ground
I may be daydreaming, but I'll be wondering what its like
To be under your skin
'Til I get in
Until you let me out
Until you see my insides
Until you're inside out, I'll
Lick my wounds, feels like I've had them since the womb
Sing myself a tune, fall back and swoon
And I'll take you dancing, I'll take you round and round
I'll lead you to the hilltops, and I'll take you on the ground
I may be daydreaming
Oh what a feeling
Daydreaming about you

Galaxies

My mind is filled with galaxies
It's all I see
It's all I see
Way up in the highest trees
I feel the breeze
I feel the breeze
Take me on your boat one day
We'll fade away, we'll slip away
We'll go away, we'll be away
We'll stay away
We'll go down the longest stream
Reflected in a sunbeam
Just a speck of dust in the milky way
We'll fade away, we'll slip away
We'll go away, we'll be away
We'll stay away
We'll go down the longest stream
Reflected in a sunbeam
I'm not going
I'm not going
I'm not going
I'm not going
I'm not going, going, gone
Just a speck of dust in the milky way
We'll fade away, we'll slip away
We'll go away, we'll be away
We'll stay away
But we are alive today
We'll be ok
We'll be ok

Paper Castles

I'm no white dove
But I stand here with all my love
Uncover the windows
Let in the light
Grab the hand that's reaching out
Face out to an empty room where no one's there to hear their prayers
But you and I
You and I
On the road through the fog
Through the smoke with my heart in my throat
On the road through the fog
Through the smoke with my heart in my throat
I'm lookin' in
I'm thinkin' out loud
Now that I've seen
I used to hide from my own mind
This battle's not mine, oh, no
The building a motor on houses of paper
This world can cater for us all
The building a motor on houses of paper
This world can cater for us all
When the sun rises, it rises for us all
When the sun rises, it rises for us all
I'm lookin' in
I'm thinkin' out loud
Now that I've seen
I used to hide from my own mind
This battle's mine

Fynbos
03:31
|

|
Every plant given life by his hands
Every stone placed to build pathways in the sand
There was a magical feeling surrounding that land
A mystical feeling surrounding that land
And I'd curled up on my mother with the fire ablaze
My memories of then are a haze
But I can still smell the fynbos after a night's rain
And the fairies and the magic
The blossom from our brains
And there's a child in the tree tops
Is she still me?
My heart opens as the swing drops
I've got bruises on my knees
And I look up into the ether
The sunset and the breeze
Nothing has made me quite as happy as my home
My home among the trees
And I'd curled up on my mother with the fire ablaze
My memories of then are a haze
But I can still smell the fynbos after a night's rain
And the fairies and the magic
The blossom from our brains
And there's a child in the tree tops
Is she still me?
My heart opens as the swing drops
I've got bruises on my knees
And I look up into the ether
The sunset and the breeze
Nothing has made me quite as happy as my home
My home among the trees

Something Holy
04:46
|

|
No rules, no rules
You said there were no rules
Your eyes familiar whirlpools
The doors is right into you
And I'll let you in
No need to ask
I wanna bask in your everything
My chest exploding
My mind eroding
At the thought of you existing
Carved from the same tree
Made of the same stuff
I couldn't even bluff
No flirting no skirting on the edge
You were one with me already
All you had to do is see me
Really see me
Recognise the workings of my mind
And then touch me
Like something holy
And then touch me
Like something that is now but could never be
And as you take a vow to never lie to me
All of my senses are screaming at me
My body one big lump of tingling
Imagining you naked in front of me
Nothing to hide just someone to hold
And then we let go
'Cause we always let go
All you had to do is see me
Really see me
Recognise the workings of my mind
And then touch me
Like something holy
And then touch me
Like something that is now but could never be
Like something holy
Touch me
Like something that is now but could never be
Wrapped up in the golden light of my bedroom
You take one look at me and i swoon
I'm here with you
It hasn't been so easy being lonely
Oh, I'm here with you
It hasn't been so easy being lonely
Oh, I'm here with you
It hasn't been so easy being lonely
Oh, I'm here with you
It hasn't been so easy being lonely
Thank you for showing me
That I'm not alone
Thank you for showing me
That I'm not alone
Thank you for showing me
That I'm not alone
Thank you for showing me
That I'm never alone

Skin Crawl
02:18

You're making my skin wanna crawl into all of these cracks and these crevices
Don't worry I know how to have a good time
Just don't need to smile to be enjoying myself
Don't put me on a shelf
I'm not here for your enjoyment, your amusement
I don't need to have a reason, no
Don't need to have a reason at all
Don't need to have a prince at my ball
How about right now I'm my own prince
Maybe I wouldn't cease to exist
Without a man to do the hard things
Maybe you picked the wrong girl
But there's not one girl
Who deserves your aggression
I'll give you a confession
I used to fall for this bullshit
But let's stop regressing
How about I take your patriarchy, your misogyny
And I put it in the backyard
And set fire to it
I'm gonna put it in the backyard
It's already lit
I'm gonna put it in the backyard
And set fire to it
I'm gonna put it in the backyard
It's already lit
I'm gonna put it in the backyard
And set fire to it
I'm gonna put it in the backyard
It's already lit
Woo!
It's already lit

My Outside
03:09
|
|||
|
The moon was full and it left me howling
My head was spinning and my heart was growling
I've received crimson stains on my sheets that morning
The world felt big and the tides were moving
And I stopped caring too much about my outside
I stopped caring too much about my outside
Didn't wanna be told what I'm supposed to look like
Didn't wanna be told what makes a woman look right
So I took off my clothes
And I jumped right in
The 3 am water
It soaked my skin
The full moon tide was up to my chin
I looked at you and your mischief grin
I looked at you and your mischief grin
You better cut off your wings cause you're held up by strings now
Cut off your wings 'cause you're held up by strings now
And I stopped caring too much about my outside
I stopped caring too much about my outside
Didn't wanna be told what I'm supposed to look like
Didn't wanna be told what makes a woman look right

New Song

Why did they lie?
They said to survive I had to walk along the line
But I don't feel alive, does that mean I've survived?
Does that mean I've survived?
Does that mean I've survived?
What kind of living is this?
I don't wanna simply exist
I wanna punch with my fist
I wanna roll with the misfits
The ender in the mist
Give in to the bliss
Grab life by her wrist
Lean in for a kiss and say, "I want this"
"Oh, I need this"
I wanna live like I mean it
I'm gonna take it, not leave it
I wanna live like I mean it
I'm gonna take it, not leave it
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I've never been one for leaving
But I need something to believe in
Something that shakes me
Watch out I'm waking
I'm yours for the taking
I'm newborn, I'm shaking
Never been one for leaving
But now I'm leaving
'Cause my heart's still beating
And there's nothing, it's fleeting
As a life before expiry
Tonight I'm feeling fiery
I'll set fire to everything
Everything that meant something
'Cause night has no meaning
Night has no meaning
I wanna live like I mean it
I'm gonna take it, not leave it
I wanna live like I mean it
I'm gonna take it, not leave it
I wanna live like I mean it
I'm gonna take it, not leave it
I wanna live like I mean it
I'm gonna take it, not leave it

Ocean
04:15

I saw you throw your hands in the air and say a prayer
Your eyes closed, your nose breathing in the salty air
There was nothing you could do
To make me love you anymore
You said: "What I despair in you"
"I don't feel like I'm going anywhere with you"
"I might as well fling myself into your ocean"
"At least then I would be with you"
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled
So you jumped down from the cliff you climbed to
Into paradise that lay below you
I could only stare
And let my tears fall into the ocean
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled
And the ocean roared
And the ocean howled

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here
