-- lyrics -- 

take me home, aching

you go far (away)

skin and bone
you're not on your own 
oh god, don't throw me 

travel far 
you leave all my scars 
i like where they are 

i'm not enough 
i'll sink again
to where you've been 

rocking on
my main desire 
now dead in your fire 

don't pull me back again 

you go far (away) 

oh river flow 
look out below 
and leave your old 
cruel world behind 
how far you'll go 
i just don't know 
but you'll be always in
my mind

far away

/find a way to leave the universe

*

find yourself gone through time dear

go pass me now, dreams dyin' 

cancer feel me in your head

time forgotten what we said 

* 

find a way to leave the universe and not get hurt

find a way to carve out your land and realise it's only flat dirt 

find a way, with no earth you'll go sky and fly 

united on your hands, i always speak too much 

so just grab me for my dust 

yeah, just grab me for my dust. 

oh, grab me for my  

* 

i am not awake 

and i lose myself to time 

always

dust

the staircase

"that way" began in march 2023 as a way to confront grief and begin to face closure. each ballad became a companion - a memory, a soundtrack to moments, realisations, and emotions. writing and staying with this music has been a meaningful journey for me. these songs have revealed the layered depths of feelings, offered me perspectives on myself, and provided a gentle outlet to say goodbye. in letting this go, i hope that my music from this chapter may oscillate and hold some form of meaning for you too.

speaking nothing

retrograde

gone away

outofmybody

thway

dead up there

my heart

you're far

i am gone

a theme on "hope"

I want time to slow down
Because it's you I miss
