Lethal Aid
Ell Freeman, Robin Lawley, Nadiia Suprun
Produced and performed by Ell Freeman.

The silence of violence 
Hangs in the air,
The horizon brightens 
With a fiery glare 
A cloud of crows covers the sky
How many people have yet to die?

Chorus
You wanna save the world?
But not like this
With your lethal aid and
Broken ties
You wanna save the world?
But not like this
No more lethal aid and
No more lies

The violence of silence 
Feeds our despair
Delusions, confusions, 
Complacent thoughts and prayers
A ray of hope illuminates the gloom
Sing aloud the truth
For they know not what they do

Chorus 
You wanna save the world?
But not like this
With your lethal aid and
Broken ties
You wanna save the world?
But not like this
No more lethal aid and
No more lies

No 
No More
No More War
No More (repeat)

Lethal Aid

Words, music, performance and production ℗ Ell Freeman 2022

I’ve fallen into a funk
I’m sleeping on the roster 
Running on an empty tank
No mojo left to muster

I’ve gave you all I got
And all I got back was murder
You drained me till I’m dry
My work is done and over

Gotta friend, said just relax
Kick back and take it easy 
Do what you know you love
Leave the rest, let yourself be lazy

But that’s so easy to say 
when your world ain’t folding inwards
But if you show me the way
Maybe I’ll give it a try

You gotta simplify 
Do only what you do the best
Delay if you have the time
Ditch or delegate the rest
Letting go is tough 
But if your livin’ what you love
Isn’t this enough?

And that’s all very well 
But I still gotta pay the bills
And this talk of kicking back
Just sounds like giving up

But what have I to lose
But a future of frustration
And what have I to gain
But the chance to live again

Simplify

Goodbye stranger

I could have been your wingman
The bestest friend you never had
Instead I was a spaceman
Beaming up whenever shit went down 
I should have stuck around 
And you said…

Please just go away
there’s nothing more to say
to clear the air

I needed you to guide me
Defend me and define me
Why are you never there?

Goodbye stranger 
I tried to understand you
I tried to make you notice
Cause I need you on my side 
Goodbye stranger 
If you ever said I love you
Did you mean to?
But I wonder
And I hope you never lied

If I’m not your wingman
Could I help you navigate instead?
Steer through this wasteland 
Back to the common ground we shared
And to a time when I was there

Oh who will you remember?
A coward or defender
An eagle or a mouse?
If we don’t surrender
I’ll be losing you forever
Time is running out
And you’ll say…

Goodbye stranger 
I tried to understand you
I tried to make you notice
Cause I need you on my side 
Goodbye stranger 
If you ever said I love you
Did you mean to?
But I wonder
And I hope you never lied

Goodbye, goodbye…

Come back stranger
I’ll stay by your side
Come back stranger
You know I never lied

Goodbye Stranger

Music Only Knows (Haiku song)
Words and music by Ell Freeman

Starlight through the leaves
On twilight paths unwinding
Music leads the way

Firelight through the trees 
Smoke and embers spiralling 
Music starts to play

And in the darkness
I will leave my path behind
Who cares where it goes
And where we’re walking
As I take your hand in mine
Music only knows

Daylight through the leaves
Nighttime revelries recede
Where has music gone?

Dew has doused the fire
Ashes where the flames once played 
Sing a sombre song

But in the darkness
I will leave my path behind
Who cares where it goes
And where we’re walking
As I take your heart in mine
Music only knows

Singing through the trees
A bracing autumn breeze brought
Music to our lips

When time comes to part
Following separate paths
We sing in our hearts

And in the darkness
I will leave my path behind
Who cares where it goes
And where we’re walking
As I take your heart in mine
Music only knows

Music Only Knows

Free the love

I was searching
Looking for a missing part of me
But Mother Nature
Gave me everything that I need 

I don’t know you
But I liked your picture 
We’ve only spoken once on the phone 
But I feel that 

You can free the love inside of me 
You can free the love inside of me 


Light as a feather
A smile that touched me inside and out
Don’t make heavy weather
It’s easy when there’s no more doubt
We connected
For a moment
And you saw me how I see myself

You can free the love inside of me 
Locked inside, Now you have found the key
You can free the love inside of me 
Let me be the best that I can be

I was searching for the part 
I thought was missing from the heart of me
When your smile turned on the light I found it hiding in plain sight
Where it’s always been
 
You can free the love
You can free the love

Free The Love

It's OK
Words, music, performance and production ℗ Ell Freeman 2023

There there
It’s ok to cry 
It’s ok
To cry here on your own

There there 
It’s ok to crave 
Those tender days
You miss now you’re alone

You’ve been hiding it 
Inside
But now you can’t deny
You’re lonely anymore

And now again 
You’re just a child who’s crying
For a touch
To calm and reassure

There there
It don’t hurt so much
Now you’ve let it out 
And recognised the pain

There there
You’ve been so afraid
But now you see
It’s only shadows in the rain  

You’ve been hiding it 
Inside   
But now you can’t deny
You’re lonely anymore

And now again 
You’re just a child who’s crying
For a touch
To calm and reassure

Baby it’s ok
It’s gonna be ok
It’s good to let it out

It's OK

From Afar
Words, music, performance and production ℗ Ell Freeman 2023

How did I find you in the sky
Among a galaxy of lonely stars?
I don’t dare to wonder why your light
Shines on me, but still I admire you from afar

Your star illuminates the night
Your colours sway to my guitar
But while I long to hold you close and tight
Your dancing light only warms me from afar

With your star I’ll navigate the ocean
And as you play upon on the waves, 
I will ride the peaks of my emotion
And through the night
Your star will be my guide

How did I find you in the sky
Among a galaxy of lonely stars? 
I don’t dare to wonder why your light
Shines only on me, but I love you from afar

Como eu te encontrei no céu, 
Antre um milhão de astras só?
Não ouso perguntar por que, sua luz
Brilha em mim, mas te admiro de longe.

Sua estrela ilumina a noite,
Cores balançam para minha guitarra
Enquanto eu desejo te abraçar,
Sua luz dançante me aquece de longe.

Com sua estrela eu vou navegar no oceano
E enquanto você dança entre as ondas
Eu montarei os picos da minha emoção
E durante a noite
Sua estrela será meu guia.

From Afar

Friendly Fire
Music, lyrics, performance and production ℗ Ell Freeman 2023

Did I mistake your fear for desire?
When you showed me the shy whites of your eyes
What made the light so darkly cloud?
Did your fear put the fire out?

We might have glowed like golden embers through the night
Or burned up brightly in a blaze of light
Our fire could fade or grow
But now I guess we’ll never know

Did you feel nothing
Were you numb to my touch
Did you feel nothing
Or maybe too much 
I gave you nothing 
To fear from my desire 
Why did you dodge my friendly fire? 
It’s only my friendly fire

I said I’d never tire to watch your face 
As you held me warmly in your gaze 
But how could I have ever known
The next day you would
Shut me down 

I tried to call you but you stole my voice 
I couldn’t ask you why, even say goodbye, I’m left without a choice 
Don’t you know I was opening my heart
Is it true that yours is closed and hard?

Did you feel nothing
Were you numb to my touch
Did you feel nothing
Or maybe too much 
I gave you nothing 
To fear from my desire 
Why did you dodge my friendly fire? 
It’s only my friendly fire

I wouldn’t harm you
Or disrespect you
Or try to mess up your mind
What made you wanna
Treat me so unkind?

Did you feel nothing
Did really you feel nothing
You could have had everything 
To fulfill your desires 
Why did you dodge my friendly fire?
