FAWM 2025

Verse 1
I’m looking sorry again
Worn down, beat
In need of a friend
But there are no redeeming words for me

Verse 2
I’m wandering off track again
Faded, lost
In search of a spark
But every road is marked
With the missteps of the past

Chorus
Never, never gonna be enough  
Never, never gonna be enough  
When every dream ends before it's begun
Never, never gonna be enough 

Verse 3
Here comes the morning again
I soak in the flame
And for a fleeting moment
I’m more than mistakes

Chorus
Never, never gonna be enough  
Never, never gonna be enough  
When every dream ends before it's begun
Never, never gonna be enough 

Bridge
If they soar, I just fall
When they shine, they expose my flaws

Chorus 
Never, never gonna be enough  
Never, never gonna be enough  
When every dream ends before it's begun
Never, never gonna be enough

FAWM 2025 - song 2 - Seven (raw v1)

Verse 1
I picked the larva from the nettles
High-stemmed flowers in the breeze
Carried them in jars of glass
Watched them inch and shift

Verse 2
I cleared a space in my bedroom 
A cotton cradle and a lid
Closed it, while I was waiting
I would dream of wings

Chorus
And the wings will come the wings will come
Threaded bright with embered gold
And the wings will come the wings will come
The wonder only a child could know

Verse 3
The shoebox lay so silent
Hardened shells on gooey strings
Days would pass, they did not move
Until the husks gave in

Chorus
And the wings will come the wings will come
Threaded bright with embered gold
And the wings will come the wings will come
The wonder only a child could know

Outro
The sounds and smell are still the same
The nettles still sway by the stream
And it takes me back
The wings will come
The wings will come
The wonder only a child could know

FAWM 2025 - Song 3 - How To Raise Butterflies In A Shoebox (Without Your Parents Knowing) - Demo 1

Verse 1
I was never built for breaking
But I still bruise the same
Told myself I was a fortress
Till you went and said my name

Verse 2
And I swore I was untouchable
Like gripping at the wind
But you smiled like you already knew
Where to sink the arrow in

Chorus
I let you in, I let you closer
Should’ve known, should’ve known
That even steel can rust in water
And I was skin, I was bone
For all the might a man can wield
Love can bring him to his heel
Achilles, now I see

Verse 2
I have carried the weight 
Of a thousand men
Gone through hell
High water too
I have conquered my demons
And searched my soul
But I wasn’t prepared for the likes of you


Chorus
I let you in, I let you closer
Should’ve known, should’ve known
That even steel can rust in water
And I was skin, I was bone
For all the might a man can wield
Love can bring him to his heel
Achilles, now I see

Bridge
I could blame the gods
Curse every single star
I could say the fault was fate
But it was just me and my heart

Chorus
I let you in, I let you closer
Should’ve known, should’ve known
That even steel can rust in water
And I was skin, I was bone
For all the might a man can wield
Love can bring him to his heel
Achilles, now I see

Outro
I was never built for breaking
But I still bruise the same
Told myself I was a fortress
Till you went and said my name



FAWM 2025 -  Song 4 - Song Of Achilles (One Take Demo)

Verse 1
Engines off, they rode the wind
Ghosts in the black of night
Patchwork planes on scrappy wings
But fear was on their side

Verse 2
They don’t need the speed of men
The weight of steel to kill
A rustle’s louder in the dark
The broomstick’s eerie sweep

Chorus
They never saw them coming
But they felt it in their bones
Like a breath before the thunder
A shadow creep when you’re alone
They called them weak, insignificant
Now hear their battle call:
We are the ones still flying
When your mighty towers fall

Verse 3
The wind cut straight into their bones
Frostbites on their hands
They flew with nothing but the stars
Til morning chased them home


Chorus
They never saw them coming
But they felt it in their bones
Like a breath before the thunder
A shadow creep when you’re alone
They called them weak, insignificant
Now hear their battle call:
We are the ones still flying
When your mighty towers fall

Bridge
No parachutes, no turning back
Only death beneath their feet
In the hour of need
They showed what it means
To truly never yield

Chorus
They never saw them coming
But they felt it in their bones
Like a breath before the thunder
A shadow creep when you’re alone
They called them weak, insignificant
Now hear their battle call:
We are the ones still flying
When your mighty towers fall

Outro
Patchwork planes on scrappy wings
But fear is on our side
