There's no hope for myself trying to be a good pearl
Tried to walk the line and see the light
But as the sun sets, the lonelier I get
Tried to put my thoughts down
Keep my hands in my pockets
Not to make a sound or go down town

Just cocaine and running and howling all night long
A tango with hell, but it sure don't matter none
'Cause my baby left me in 2001 and I 
Haven't seen the sun since he's been gone
All I do is watch the moon

Nothing's right it's all messed up I'm lonely and I'm grieving
My conscience hallelujah drives me to thinking 
And all the good in me to leaving
Tried to put my thoughts down
Keep my hands in my pockets
Not to make a sound
For the blue and red down town

How Come You Never Go There (Feist Cover)

One of Nialler9's New Artists to Love in 2017.

'Relent' is about looking back on a soured relationship & realising how it could have been, seeing the lessons and my own shortcomings as part of the story.  It’s about the guilt that forms part of the natural retrospection on a once loving relationship. Too often these songs can be purely accusatory, whereas I’ve tried to explore the reality that there are two sides to every story and each party has their own narrative as they see it. The inspiration was these feelings and the song was written as an attempt to express this and move forward from it. To sweeten what has soured and move on without guilt"

Lyrics:

You're sleeping night and day
How d'you do it?
Me I am wide awake
Feeling defeated
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I know it's not working
I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
We just got nothing
Nothing left to say
Another year gets away
Another summer of love
I don't know why I care
We miss it every summer
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I'm the one doing this
There's no other way
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
I just got nothing, nothing left to say
It all, all catches up to me
It all, all catches up to me all the time
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I know it's not working, I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
We just got nothing, nothing left to say
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I'm the one doing this, there's no other way
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
I just got nothing, nothing left to say
It all, all just catches up to me
It all, all catches up to me all the time
