released for World Mental Health Day

written when I was at my lowest
released when I'm at the best I've been in as long as I can remember

mental health is a universal human right.
there is strength in vulnerability.
there is always someone to talk to.
you are worth talking about.

The Meaning

OFFICIAL LYRICS VIDEO:

ABOUT:
I wrote this track after hitting 1M streams on Drowning, about my journey to reaching this point in music and how, despite the challenges, rejection and criticism that come with it, there's a reason I'm still here. HERE TO STAY.

Making music has helped me so much in so many personal ways and over the last year, I've been so lucky to hear from listeners that it's helped them too, when they've been in a rough place. That's all I've ever dreamt of and the biggest goal I've ever had with making music - to be able to reach like-minded people and make even the slightest of difference, like how music helped me in my lowest moments.

So, to all those who have connected with my music and who have found comfort in it - this track is for you. 🤍

HERE TO STAY

Lyrics:

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone

Been this way for a long time
Been a while since I felt fine
Still tryna keep myself in line
And I’m still fighting with my own mind
And I've come long way, believe me
But sometimes it's deceiving
Don't wanna go back to the old me
But ignoring the signs isn't easy
Some days I wake up with a nosebleed
Body aches, feeling so weak
Makes me only wanna sleep in
Instead, I'm trying to find the meaning

I’m looking for reasons to keep hope
I’m looking for reasons to stay in control
Just don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone (yeah, yeah)

Friends ask if I'm doing okay
But sometimes I don't know what to say
When thoughts of the night help me get me through the day
But nightmares got me lying awake
And it's getting far too familiar
Ask myself "what am I doing here?"
Cause I'm never thinking ‘bout giving up
But this routine's been testing my resilience
So I pick myself up again just like before
Telling myself that there's gotta be more
More to this life than just repetition
I don't wanna exist, wanna feel like I'm living
So gimme a reason to keep hope
Gimme a reason to stay in control
Just don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone

Don't Leave Me Alone

Lyrics:
Tell me where did you go?
I don't wanna be strangers
We used to be so close
(Can we go back to before?)

Feels so long ago
It's like you're a stranger
I miss the person that I used to know

What changed? Can we go back to basics?
Tell me, how's your day been? Where've you been lately?
Never see you around, hope you're doing okay
Cause it's been so long since our last conversation 

Feels like we only ever talk on occasions
We say we need to make plans but we never arrange them
Days go by, no explanation 
And then it's
No reply and we go back to strangers


Tell me where did you go?
I don't wanna be strangers
We used to be so close
(I don't know if we can go back to before)

Feels so long ago
It's like you're a stranger
I miss the person that I used to know

Strangers

Running

Lyrics:

Here I go again
Every now and then I need a way to decompress
Desensitised, every time I feel a little less
Searching for a new sensation so I do it in excess
Guess I never learned my lesson, it's hard to admit
Old coping mechanisms I'm trying to resist
Weighing heavy on my conscience I should probably quit
But right now it's the only thing that's taking me away from it

Fix me for today
I'll pay for it tomorrow
Consequences of my actions are a bitter pill to swallow
With a half empty glass, knock it back until I'm hollow
Probably best you don't follow

Running from my problems, I never needed a
chaser
Wake up in the afternoon and wonder where the day went
I'm not doing well and you can tell from my behaviour
I know that I should ask for help but that's not in my nature, nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature

Over and over again
Can't break the habit, no matter the damage I know that I'll only regret
Goes hand in hand with helping me manage the memories I wanna forget
Never gets easier, seems like the further I come, the harder it gets
Always appealing when I'm at my lowest, I know that it does me no good
Mistaking the feeling for something that's real, never stop when I know that I should
Cause I never learn, I'm far too concerned with escaping until I feel numb
I know in the morning I'm gonna be wishing to take it all back if I could

Fix me for today
I'll pay for it tomorrow
Consequences of my actions are a bitter pill to swallow
With a half empty glass, knock it back, until I'm hollow
Probably best you don't follow

Running from my problems I never needed a
chaser
Wake up in the afternoon and wonder where the day went
I'm not doing well and you can tell from my behaviour
I know that I should ask for help but that's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
Nature
That's not in my nature
