I've seen enough of the world there is, now my eyes they burn against the skin
I've heard enough of the silences whose echos keep ringing through my veins

What more of you is still left to use
I'd take it all anyway
I wonder who can cry "abuse" 
when screams evaporate

I can feel you go with the numbing blow
your hands so gently gave
I long for more in the afterglow
Fearing what I've already braved

I've felt enough of the hollowness
In shadows shining on every win
I've held enough of the souls that best
Temporarily erase my sins

What more of you is still left to use 
I'd take it all anyway
I wonder who can cry "abuse" 
When screams evaporate

I can feel you go with the numbing blow
your hands so gently gave
I long for more in the afterglow
Fearing what I've already braved

Afterglow

Wake up to new faces
a myriad of embraces
in hands i'm not alone
close matches for my own

turn up in new clothes
to offices galore
a world beyond routine
from mails to movie screens

everyday i live a life barely enough for my soul
give me more, more than what solely makes me whole

bare my soul to paint a 
world with one less stranger  
those who pass you by
And friends that made you cry

Walk through memories
Of all the same old streets
that I'm yet to roam
And one day, call home

everyday i live a life barely enough for my soul
give me more, more than what solely makes me whole

Barely enough

When the skies in the blink of an eye
Turn a darker shade of grey
When the nights are passing you by
Your thoughts keeping you awake

When your eyes come barely alive
Seeing the light of day
When you've spent hours on end
Wishing your troubles away

Just sit and remember to breathe
However insane it may seem
To even hope for better times
But one can only dream
When we wake up tomorrow
It will be alright, I hope
If I wake up tomorrow
I will be alright I know

When it's tough to get out of bed
Wondering why you even wake
When the fear of what tomorrow brings
Can be drunk away

When the want of being loved by all
Births so much hate
When your tears are all running dry
And you're scared you've lost your way

Just sit and remember to breathe
However insane it may seem
To even hope for better times
But all one can do is dream
When we wake up tomorrow
It will be alright, I hope
If I wake up tomorrow
I will be alright I know

Your own lullaby

Equal parts wistful and pensive, the pianist-guitarist-saxophonist, poured late night thoughts into soulful ballads, carried by a husky baritone.  

This page is a living archive: the 4 singles we already know and love, with 18 previously unheard demos, drafts and daydreams. 

He once quipped his “greatest hits would probably drop posthumously.” Well, here they are.
