Lyrics:
Say goodbye to all we knew.
Look into my eyes and speak the truth.
Embrace me for all that I am.
If we die, will it be by your hand?

Hold me close and don't let go.
Who are we? Friends or foes?

If I look up with you standing over me.
With an olive branch snapped beneath your feet.
A cloud of dust rises as we fall.
Stone by stone we only build walls.

Hold me close and don't let go.
Who are we? Friends or foes?

Foes

Collaboration with The thief and the moon on Massive Attack hit "Teardrop"

Teardrop (Massive Attack Cover)

Humbled from an experience of a snow storm in The Catlin's coast, Aoraki/Mt Cook and the Southern Alps.

Lyrics
Well I'm chasing myself beyond the horizon line.
Following the sun but I'm falling behind.
I see the vulture comes for me.
It is something to behold and no words can explain.
The rugged ridge line beneath the milky way.
I see the vulture is here to feed.

Chorus:
On the edge of the edge, where the colours fade.
The stillness of the night tempers my pain.
I see the vulture has consoled me.

From coast to coast I try to run and hide.
But it breaks me apart, tears me up inside.
I see the vulture does bleed.
I lost control over my liberties.
Did I take you for granted cause I got you for free?
I see the vulture and his greed.

Chorus:
On the edge of the edge where the bottle runs dry.
In my haste I choked on my pride.
I see the vulture has consumed me.

Bridge:
You can watch it all crash and burn.
I don't blame you cause I never learn.
You move on but it hurts to move.
While I'm only in denial of the truth.
That you see the vulture is me.

Vulture

Summer vibe song with the Bossa Nova feel.

Lyrics:

There's nothing more that I could want.
There's nothing more that I could need.
When I see your face in the morning sun.
Dance across the bed sheets.
Tell me I'm the only one who makes you smile.
So I can see you back; hold you again; forget about life for a while.

Chorus: 
Baby let's keep the world outside.
Baby we can take our time.
Babe go slow cause I'm caught in your after glow.
(Repeat Chorus)

If I was bold enough to speak the truth.
It might slip that I love you.
Whisper back in my ear "It's all ok. I feel the same."
I hunger for your touch when ever you leave.
Tell me do you feel the same for me?
In this space it's so unreal. I can't explain how I feel.

Repeat Chorus
