Pinky Swear

Taken from the Album 'Over Ling And Bell' set for release on the 12th of May 2023 on Lost Map Records.


I’ve been alone for a while now
Been hiding away on my island
I’ve been learning to grow love 
But today it’s been heavy and slow

Rain from the east
Rain from the west 
And though it is heavy
I’m trying my best

Don’t burn me out
I’m tired already
Don’t push me around 
I’m not feeling steady 

Old were the days 
Far away
When the rain swept on down through the Vally 
Hold on 
I’ll carry you 
Carry you on

Don’t burn me out
I’m tired already
Don’t push me around 
I’m not feeling steady 

Rain from the east
Rain from the west 
And though it is heavy
I’m trying my best

Wonder

Heavy lids, curtains drawn.
Blurry edges, hazy, gone.
I am wasted, lost and faded.
We are not just falling from losing all control.
Cold, quiet says it all.

Chorus:
Don't say it with your eyes,
Say it with your mouth
I don't need ya
I don't need ya now.
If you leave there is nothing to doubt.
Say it with ya,
Say it with ya...
There is nothing to doubt.

Scratch you out from under my skin,
I trace my fingers on the ink of 
Chelsea Hotel, what's within
hidden lyrics? 
Never reveal anything.

Chorus

Remember in my car I told ya 
I'd always have love for ya
Remember in my car I told ya
I'd always have love for ya
For ya.

Chorus

Nothing To Doubt

Downtown
Eyes down
The secrets on the city bus
Don’t tell

She sees 
Bodies
She’ll never have another one
Oh well

Does it show
Her smile on a silver plate
When it’s over
Her mind is still a safer place

Come home
Unknown
The pages in the magazine
Still shine

Oh yes
Black dress
She pours herself a different drink
Each night

And she goes
Places everybody knows
Can you find her
Hiding in the afterglow

Wear a pretty little smile
Make believe
Dolls are fun for just a while
Set her free

She might be the one she really needs

Belltown (Single Version)

«Anywhere Else is a song about anxiety. Not the panicky, all-consuming kind that often results in a severe physical reaction, but a smoldering and quiet sort of anxiety, a sort of uncomfortable buzzing in the body that never quite leaves you be. It took me many years to understand that this also is a form of anxiety. It can be relatively quiet, but it's there - always. This has had me in a soft grip for a long while, and I wrote Anywhere Else before I understood what it really was that I was experiencing. I thought it was normal to feel a bubbling sense of fear almost all the time. It can make me have a hard time deciding seemingly small things like what I'm going to eat, where I'm going to go on a walk, what coffee shop I'm going to go to, what I should wear, what I should do with my day, etc. It's a constant that I've felt for most of my life, without really understanding it or believing it to be anything but ordinary.  I've decided to release Anywhere Else at this time as it feels extra potent for me at the moment, with so many of us feeling a lot of uncertainty and fear about what's happening. I hope it can provide some comfort.»
