LYRICS...

Forgotten

So beautiful
Not seen before
No shirt, just standing in the door

I make my way
Touching your skin
I feel the light air dancing up and onto him

How can you?
How can you be forgotten?

I kiss you slow
Lean into me
Brush into your breath and breathe the air you breathe

Amidst the grey
Floating above
I had fallen so deeply into love

How can you?
How can you be forgotten?

Move in the glow
So beautiful
...but I cannot un-know

Move on
Apropos
Take your last bow and go
Be forgotten

How can you?

Be forgotten, to me...

LYRICS... 

Live in a hospital
I'm a mess
A hallowed shadow of a shell
The kid in me
Was bitten by the snake
The memory
Those that hurt the most
Have faces so friendly

You gotta be yourself

Be like that in front of them
I'll run again
Purity taken by a man
Who has split me
I want to cry like a baby
The memory
All surfaced
From this brain injury

You gotta be yourself

The salt air fills my lungs and rests on my tongue
I needed to breathe it
The wave that swallowed me, the heart that followed beat
I could barely feel it
Being held down by his arms, bleached rays act as alarms
I could hardly take it
The light shines from the house, my body leaves myself
I'll try my best to make it

Gotta be yourself
Oh, the way it feels with the shadow at your heels
You gotta be yourself

You Gotta Be Yourself

LYRICS...

It caught me so off guard
A perfect mess, it has me soured 
Looking up to see what I could gain
But spirals and colours, they break my brain

Top of the top becomes harder to see
I did everything. I did everything.

My body buzzes to a broken pattern
I could explode but it doesn't matter

Holding onto everything I've got
Listening to the sound of my body pause
My reflection's hard to face because
I am now not what I was

Top of the top becomes harder to see 
I did everything. I did everything. 

My body buzzes to a broken pattern
I could explode but it doesn't matter

My body buzzes
I could explode

Top of the Top

Top Of The Top

LYRICS... 

Sunrise, nightfall, starlight, moon-call 
I have come to take you home

Train ride, bus stop, ferry boat, pick up
I have come to take you home

Spend a lifetime caring for you
I have come to take you home

When we go, I'll be buried beside you
I have come to take you home

Suddenly, when it becomes a change
I realize with all of my brain
That once I knew I found you
I would never ever be the same

Watching over, through the starlight and window
Watching over, through the cloud shapes and I know it
Watching over, through the sunrise from the front porch
Watching over, through the daybreak, open the door

Suddenly when it becomes a change
I realize with all of my brain 
That once I knew I found you
I would never ever be the same

LYRICS... 

Blood flow, brain cells
Rescue us from ourselves
It has me exhausted
I fear I might have lost it

Free me fantasy
Goosebumps when I'm thinking:
'Possibilities 
Possibilities'

I don't want to go and mess around with your blood flow
I don't want to go
I don't want to go

Pleading body closes up
I want to scream: 
'Liberate me
Liberate me'

Align align
I'm an alien
Isolating 
Isolation

I don't want to go and mess around with your blood flow
I don't want to go
I don't want to go

Then you come to me
Falling in belief
Fleeting, fleeting
Feeling

I don't want to go and mess around with your blood flow
I don't want to go
I don't want to go

Blood Flow

LYRICS... 

You look at me for what you want to hear
And we're together but I still feel lonely
I'm not at home but I'm pretty close, it's clear
All I believe is what you show me

Know that I can take it
Know that you can break me in when I'm running against the wind

When I try
Instead I...
Instead I'm a mess

An overwhelming magic spell you used
This kind of love, it makes me worry
Every time I thought, I got confused
Then I felt so incredibly sorry

Know that I can take it
Know that you can break me in when I'm running against the wind

When I try
Instead I... 
Instead I'm a mess

Against the Wind

LYRICS...

FALLING OUT OF VIEW

It’s hitting this target out of the woods
I’ll find you
Another version of myself without it
It is blurry
It looks furry from moving fast
How to decipher it running from the past
I’m falling, falling out of view
It takes the hit and falls out of shock while the body heat rises up
But it’s half expected
Calloused from tactics trailing from the shot
It is wounded and assumed it may not survive
It will surprise them when this feeling screams
“Alive!”
I’m falling, falling out of view
Compass is spinning during magic hour, pale light
The hunt is tired camo.
Fading from neon to night
I feel my essence wearing down the paths
Am I fluorescent?
Or am I stuck in the patterns?
View
View
I’m falling, falling out of view…

Falling Out of View

Falling Out Of View

New single from Lowpines. Released to coincide with a UK wide tour with Benjamin Francis Leftwich. Lowpines (Oli Deakin) has been writing and producing with Benjamin and others for the past few years and has performed with him live all over the world. This single was recorded in Brooklyn during a break between tours, self-produced by Lowpines.

Lyrics:

Full of distraction
Troubles untold
Wearing that sadness 
In the folds of My clothes  
You didn’t see it 
Or maybe you did 
It’s not like I tried all that hard 
To keep it hid
  
You ask me to build  
While the world stands still  
I am willing but I don’t know how 
Let cold winds blow 
Til the snow blocks the road 
I will follow in the  Path of the plough  

Pressed to the window 
Face to the glass 
Trying to listen for the trains 
As they pass 
They sing through the branches
Whales in the night 
And shots in the distance keep 
Trying to change my mind  
You ask me to build  
While the world stands still  
I am willing but I don’t know how 
Let cold winds blow 
Til the snow blocks the road 
I will follow in the 
Path of the plough

Path Of The Plough

Love In Mine
