'Habits' the second single by Lia Rye from her upcoming debut EP FEVER DREAM. ‘Habits’ tells the story of a self-centred person building their own reality to the detriment of others and eventually themselves. By the track’s conclusion, they accept that they’ll never be what others want them to be, defiantly yet sadly welcoming this realisation. The artist shares, “It’s sort of bittersweet as I learnt not to make excuses for unacceptable behaviour, but I had to ponder on the journey it took for me to gain that understanding.” Ultimately, 'Habits' is about not caring what people think no matter whether you’re the villain or the hero.

I don’t wanna go downstairs
Because it’s lonely at the bottom
I don’t wanna climb that high
Because I’m scared of falling
I’m scared of falling
And it goes out after dark
Living is easy
And I’ve wasted all this time
And the dreaming is easy
I don’t wanna go downstairs
Because it’s lonely at the bottom
I don’t wanna climb that high
Because I’m scared of falling
I’m scared of falling
I’m scared of falling
I found that I could hold on
When I thought that everything was over
I found that I could be strong
When I thought that everything was closing
I don’t wanna go downstairs
Because I’m scared I’ll be forgotten
I don’t wanna climb that high
Because I’m scared I’ll lose myself
I’m scared of what I
I don’t wanna go downstairs
Downstairs
Go downstairs

last single off my 2nd EP, messages !! hope u enjoy :)

i was in the bathroom counting tiles
to find a way to talk to someone my size
the light flickers above me as i make my move
self imposed rejection, as i look at you

and i’ll see when i meet you, is it the right time for me?
can you feel it this moment, or am i about to make this mistake again?

i’ll fake another memory so i don’t feel so cold
embrace the world around me, i’m clay without a mould
a lack of pure connection, will this time ever come?
a flower in the garden with no access to sun

and i’ll see when i meet you, is it the right time for me?
can you feel it this moment, or am i about to make this mistake again?

flower in the garden

This is a uplifting song about a single  man who finds love for the first time.
