LYRICS:
I’m not asking for much now
or waiting for your count
Been watchin’ it fall down
Been watchin’ it fall down

Not asking for much now
Or waiting to find out
I’m looking for new ground
I’m ready to fly now 

In my hometown 
they don’t seem to mind
If I leave the grey 
or stick around 
The rains' been washin me away
Off the mountain 
towards the plains
So, I’m leavin’ now
Before I let 
another day go to waste

Skimming the surface
I don’t know the words yet

I’m walkin slow and headin’ down
The streets of a stranger’s town 
Could this be the place
I’ve been longing for?
Humming low to catch the sound 
prayers from another’s mouth 
Searching for the song 
of a stranger 

not asking for much now
or waiting for your count
Been watchin’ it fall down
Been watchin’ it fall down

Not asking for much now
Or waiting to find out
I’m looking for new ground
I’m ready to fly now 

Thinking fast 
moving slow
Plenty to tell, 
nothing to show 
Like shadows cast 
under smoke
You’ll never know
How far they go

Lookin’ for  purpose 
I think this could be worth it

I’m walkin slow and headin’ down
The streets of a stranger’s town 
Could this be the place
I’ve been longing for?
Hummin low to catch the sound 
prayers from another’s mouth 
Searching for the song 
of a stranger 

It all feels so familiar 
But they don’t know my name here
Memories that might be mine
Thoughts and hopes 
That feel so right
I’ll find a man and I'll make a home 
Won’t be a stranger for too long

Would you let me belong?
Would you let me belong?
belong.

💛 Song meaning: This song is about hope.
It was written after Covid, when someone had to go back home as the pandemic was spreading.
With the warm afterglow of summer “fire” became the dream to see them again and feel that connection, that love once again.

🎶 Lyrics: 
I lay 
in between your arms and what I see
Is sunshine pouring from your eyes
Getting the best of you, the best of me

And time 
has been lost in the ocean of your sheets
Alone
Sinking in the breath of your summer dreams

Where do we go now
Where do we go

Hold my hand
I have gone through time and space to find
Someone like you 
So let me see the light that I’ve been craving all my life
And I’ll come, come, just to see you there

And I’ll come when the fire starts
And I’ll come, come, just to see that I 
I am yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m home

Romantic Motion

This is a poem I turned into a song. Written in 2022. :) 

LYRICS:
In broken rhyme
The words I left 
Hanging wishes
Under breath
For you to pine
To long til’ death
Hearts intwined
The gamut – lest

I’m through holding out hope
For dreams part of me 
Already let go 
So I march in time 
for a different kind of host
And I rid my mind
Of all the ghosts 
Just so you know…

'Twas I alone
In ruddy garb
Entranced by gambling
gone too far
A stone across
the tepid swamp 
Remised to sink 
beneath the squalls 

I’m through holding out hope
For dreams part of me 
Already let go 
So I march in time 
to a different kind of host
And I rid my mind
Of all the ghosts 
Just so you know…

For nights which warned 
Of guilt foretold
In haste to march on
as one in soul 
One soul. 
In silent caws, 
They watch me wail 
My hopes, inertia’s wedding veil
So I swore off, 
Succinct a quandary 
For a moment, a lover, 
Or a bloody calling!!!!

I’m through holding out hope
For dreams all of me 
Should really let go 
So I march in time 
To a different kind of note
And I rid my mind
Of all the ghosts 
Just so you know…
In time I hold
All that will be
For now I weep
In memory.

Fear of Love

Reworked one of my OG songs from 2021! I hope the words work like a spell and come true. 

LYRICS:
I live on the edge of town, 
that’s why you don’t 
see me around.
I’m a new girl now -
not a blue girl now.

Can you say my name? 
Erase letters and ways -
anchors to a place 
I need to get away from…

But I don’t burn bridges anymore. 
I don’t leave love notes at
the door.
I’ve been wasting breath 
and matches and
I don’t know what for.
So, I don’t burn bridges anymore.
I won’t, I won’t 
from shore to shore!
I hope I don’t
Of that, I’m sure. 

I can’t remember the 
last time I called you.
I still, kinda,
really don’t want to.

That doesn’t mean 
I never loved you,
but you’re on a bridge 
that I will fall through.  

And I don’t break bridges anymore,
don’t cry on Sundays 
on my floor.
I’ve been losing sleep and hours
And I don’t know what for
So, I don’t break bridges anymore. 
I won’t, I won’t 
from shore to shore!
I hope I don’t
Of that, I’m sure. 

Angled blinds in the afternoon.
Hoop earrings, blue perfume.
She waves goodbye,
I wave too.
From the bridge
I fixed with glue.
I had to keep on walking, 
there was nothing left to do.
I ran out of options.
I had no excuse.

Now I cross bridges on my own. 
I make pathways just to roam.
I’ve been building up resistance; 
I never feel alone.
One of these days, 
I’ll take
One of these bridges 
to get 
home!

Burn Bridges

Unknown (Original)

Well, well, well... Looks like this dum dum is figuring out how 2 exist in this chaotic world (sorta). Hear me seethe at the end - now that's what I call  passion "expelled in expostulation," baby!!!!! 

LYRICS:
I’m less sad than ever before now 
It’s all a memory 
Inside of me 
That I let out
I’m through being a hedonist 
I’m through with 
pleading for another wish 
Now, watch the words I’m weaving 
from a single thread:

You hearing this? 
that's pretty rich. 
These money trees
are getting split. 
The pleasure, please, 
it’s pretty stiff. 
I’m passing on:
another hit, 
another drop,
another riff, and
my closing line?
it goes like this: 

Lucky to be a loner again
Lucky to have this water to tread 
Now, this body and me can
finally become friends!
I got the hang of it 
The hang of it 
The hang of it 
The hang of being human 
Oh, the shame, 
you know, is ruthless 
No other way around – just through it
I know I’m late, at least I’m lucid!

I’m less mad than ever before now 
It’s all a fever dream  
Outside of me 
cause I cooled down
I don’t mind the fray 
I don’t mind the limbo or the haze
I don’t fight the moonlight
Or the munchies so much these days 

When I ask the moon 
to change the tides
It’s always later
much later than I’d like
So, I just take a moment and 
I adjust my pride
Then I walk a little closer 
to the other side
And I feel so nice
Everything will be alright
It will be alright
now that I'm...

Lucky to be a loner again
Lucky to have all this garden to tend
Now, this body and me can
finally become friends!
I got the hang of it 
The hang of it 
The hang of it!

The hang of being human 
I’m alright looking stupid 
Better off being clueless than
Testin’ God; cursing cupid

Oh, play the game - don’t be foolish!
You introspective, motherfuckin’ doofus 
No other girl truly is better suited!
This life is yours!
Baby, it’s time to prove it!
Maybe it's time you prove it...

I know I might be late, but 
Hey, I’m bloomin’
I'm blooming! 
I hear the music  
there’s nothing to it 
when you just do it!
do it!
do it!

Here’s lookin’ at me now, 
not at you, kid.

Lyrics:

I think it is the time of year when promises are kept
The daylight almost disappears, but I have barely slept
I wish that I could be around, but you're so hard to reach
Close to one means way too far from each

I think it is the time of year when feelings would be shared
For me that's more the time of fear, I realize that I'm scared
I wish I could control my veins, my heart's so hard to teach
Close to one means way too far from each
Close to one means way too far from each

I know it is the time of year when light comes from the ground
But even if I'm always there, I'm also not around
I wish I've had a single time, when one's enough to preach
Close to one means way too far from each
Close to one means way too far from each
Close to one means way too far from each
Close to one means way too far from each

Too Far

Recorded at Marc's house, well technically his shed which is often referred to as his man cave. Me and Marc made a deal If I helped him build a conservatory then he would record my album for me. Funny thing is neither of us had ever previously built a conservatory or recorded an album.
