Haunted eyes, glazed into the dark
Fear of what the shadows have marked
Anxious and cold, lyin' here alone
Insomnia for my soul

I confess
I'm obsessed with it now
My oblivion world's a whirling breakdown
Holding on while I drown

Save me from this painful state
Save me from this cruel fate
Save me before it's too late
When paranoia takes over

My heart's not in the right mind
Fear of what lies behind the unknown
Something's lurking, I can sense the signs
Don't tell me my thoughts are just a joke

I forget what it's like to be myself
Without mistrusting everyone else
Don't wanna be consumed 
It's too soon

Paranoia (studio demo)

ESCAPE (studio demo)

You held a shield
And draped your veil
For so long now
For so long now

You used your words
As a sword
For so long now
For so long

This is my heart
Laid down for you
To see that my words for you are true
Reveal my thoughts
Share my secrets
This is my heart
Laid bare for you

I feel like I've
So much to say
I should tell you
I should tell you

I need some time
To speak my mind
I should tell you
I should tell you

I'm tired of this war
I'll raise the white flag 
And surrender all

If only you could see


THIS IS MY HEART

Used to think I knew what's best
Used to do it my way
But then I turned around and saw the mess that I have made
Something needs to change

If only I could turn back time
You wouldn't have to feel betrayed
And now I don't even hear from you anymore, anymore

I should have known that I was wrong
I should have made amends
I only have myself to blame
Now all that's left
Is regret

I just let the words fall out 
Not hearing what I say
And I'll never realise how much I've hurt your heart
Until it's too late

If only I could turn back time
You wouldn't have to feel betrayed
And now I don't even hear from you anymore, anymore

I should have known that I was wrong
I should have made amends
I only have myself to blame
I won't pretend
I should have known that you were right
I should have seen the signs
How could I ever forget
Now all that's left
Is regret


REGRET

Dear Diary
Today I saw the brilliant sky
Explode with colour
Dear Diary
Tonight I felt the moonlight shine
My back with fervour

As I lay here staring at the stars
With the choir of crickets all around
I can't help but be reminded
How magical our earth can be
How magical our earth can be

Dear Diary
Today I sank in emerald depths
For the first time
Dear Diary
I saw a thousand different colours
Below twenty feet

I'm so grateful to be alive
With the world to greet my eyes
There can never be a better sight
Without you

To lay here staring at the stars...


DEAR DIARY (studio demo)

Not everything's about you, darling
You're not that special
Stop flattering yourself
Don't be delusional

Not everything's about you, darling
I actually have a life
And other friends too
So please keep that in mind

It may come as a shock 
But the world doesn't revolve around you
It may come as a shock
The whole world doesn't care 'bout what you do
So get over yourself now
I've other things to do

Not everything's about you, darling
It's what your brain tells you
Not every song I write
Has to be about you

Not everything's about you, darling
Well, not every time
But if the shoe fits
Then lace it up and wear it


Not Everything's About You (piano vocals)

Used to think I knew what's best
Used to do it my way
But then I turned around and saw the mess that I have made
Something needs to change

If only I could turn back time
You wouldn't have to feel betrayed
And now I don't even hear from you anymore, anymore

I should have known that I was wrong
I should have made amends
I only have myself to blame
Now all that's left is regret

I just let the words fall out
Not hearing what I say
But I'll never realise how much I've hurt your heart
Before it's too late

I should have known that I was wrong
I should have made amends
I only have myself to blame
I won't pretend
I should have known that you were right
I should have seen the signs
How could I ever forget
Now all that's left is regret


REGRET (studio)

The Green Tea band used to be an acoustic trio, now with the addition of a couple of members. Armed with mesmerising harmonies and cathartic lyrics, they play a mix of heartfelt ballads to cute pop songs about coffee. They have played at a broadcast on BayTV before, and at Threshold Festival 2016.

We were on livestream too! https://youtu.be/pozJYrr6woE?t=9m26s
