What's it all for?

I want more alone time
But when I get it I get bored 
When you’re gone I have to stop myself 
From buying a ticket out
When you’re here I’m distant
Can’t sleep all weekend

I’m making soup like there’s no tomorrow
Mending a dress like I know how to sew 
Trying to have my Saturday like all the rest
And savour this time at home

I could be out on the road and singing 
My big heart out every night 
Is it healthy to only have one thing
That makes my heart feel alive
 
Apart from you
I’m sorry I don’t sleep and you gotta deal with tears
You
I know that you love me but often I’m not me I disappear
Who
Knows how I’ll wake up 
How much space I’ll take up
I’m sorry I don’t sleep honey
And you gotta deal with me and my muddy mind

I want the best of both worlds
Can I borrow bits of you
And keep the pieces of me too
We’re almost how I tasted us
Easy as apple pie
A windfall myriad
Of what we nearly had

Am I allowed to say it’s painful
When I’ve got love and I’ve got a dream
Talking to positivity to strike a deal
It never quite makes the team

I could be out on a great adventure
People would stop and say you’re glowing dear
But I need to find light in my own home
And feel what it feels like
Without you

I try to stop myself from
Leaving me on the shelf
Like I’m a doll
Or a stuffed toy

And it’s a beautiful thing
Being an animal  
I’m a lion on it’s best and worst nights
But I still don’t know if I’ve got fight

But I’ve got you
I’m sorry I don’t sleep and you gotta deal with tears
You
I know that you love me but often I’m not me I disappear
Who
Knows how I’ll wake up 
How much space I’ll take up
I’m sorry I don’t sleep honey
And you gotta deal with me and my muddy mind

That Girl

“Just A Shadow” is about that fragile moment when you’re finally starting to feel better but still haunted by the fear of falling back into the darkness. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever battled their own mind and come out stronger, even if the scars are still there. If you’ve ever been in that weird space, this one’s for you x

🖋️ LYRICS

I found the way out
I turned the silence into the last
Excuse I made up
And now it’s over, done and dusted

I found the way out
The daisy days like chains they now
Lay flat on the ground
And now it’s over, done and dusted

Pick me up I’m just a shadow
Let’s not leave it till tomorrow
Pick me up, I’m falling slow
Catching me now before you’ve got to go

The voice is so loud
Hits me on the way down
Got lost in the crowd
Shut up! Shut up! I don’t wanna hear it

Pick me up I’m just a shadow
Let’s not leave it till tomorrow
Pick me up, I’m falling slow
Catching me now before you’ve got to go oh oh
Go oh oh
Go oh oh
Go oh oh

I found the way out
Lost in a maze I needed space
Shut up! Shut up! 
I don’t wanna hear it

Pick me up I’m just a shadow
Let’s not leave it till tomorrow
Pick me up, I’m falling slow
Catching me now before you’ve got to go oh oh
Go oh oh
Go oh oh
Go go go

Just A Shadow

Summer's Over

Cold Coffee

Folky, acoustic guitar driven metaphysical piece.
Open up your eyes and see
Your first sight of the dawn
You're alive and you've survived
The pain and strain of being born

Welcome to this brave new world
For better or for worse
Weak or strong, this life's a song
We sing out to the universe

What will be your melody
A river deep mountain high
Close harmony or wild and free
Harsh or gentle as the sky

Make your choice and find your voice
With no need to rehearse
Away and help your own sweet self
Sing your hymn to the universe
Sing your hymn to the universe

HYMN TO THE UNIVERSE

Hymn to the Universe

Lyrics:

Born to blossom with perfect anger, 
I’m own damn doppelgänger
Take your vitamin C, 
Don’t you wanna be free?
Don’t you wanna be a big girl baby?

If I sacrificed my vision in the name of tradition
Would you shower me with petals and call off the petition
For the girl you want, not the one that I am, 
Assign me to the fate of your perfect plan. 

I am lost, I am wild
I am nothing that you own
I am bored, I am a child
I am Gone Girl 2.0 

Oh, Uh oh, uh oh oh oh silly me,
I’d planned our life, watched our wedding tape on DVD

Don’t ask me why I’m done, don’t ask why I cry
Don’t ask me why my walls are so fucking high. 
I’m stuck inside an avalanche, trying to be patient
Wishing I could shake this need for validation
Big occasions, the celebrations, they scare me
I take my vitamin C, I just wanna be free
I just wanna be a big girl baby!

I am lost, I am wild
I am nothing that you own
I am bored, I am a child
I am Gone Girl 2.0 
Gone Girl 2.0
Oh oh, uh oh, uh oh, here we go again
Uh oh, uh oh, here we go again

Gone Girl 2.0

Welcome to my Soundcloud Page. I am a songwriter based in St Helens, a town in the Northwest of the UK.
You will find songs in a singer-songwriterly vein, written and recorded by me, taking in a range of musical genres,  alt/indie rock songs recorded by The (Now Legendary) Maybees in the 1990s, some classical sounding music by The Lucem Symphonia, as well as banging EDM/electronic tunes by Casaubon and a few mixes of a collaboration with Bentcousin,. Unknown Unknown is another alias I have used for one release and Firenze Anemones is a new project. Most recently, I have collaborated with Massachusetts composer Betsy Breitborde on The Ghosts of Christmas Past.
Whether it's plainly a demo or a painstakingly mastered recording, I hope you enjoy what you hear. Please leave comments and don't be afraid to get in touch, I am always interested in getting feedback and connecting with other lovers of music. If you want to download anything, many of the finished recordings are available on Bandcamp and an increasing number are on all of the usual digital platforms. If you use other platforms, you can find music from me (and some others) there under the names:
Terry Naylor
Casaubon
The Lucem Symphonia
Firenze Anemones
Unknown Unknown
Bentcousin Terry
Atlantic Zipwire


Happy listening!
