ICYMI OUT NOW - http://ftrbnd.co/icymi

running on empty
i waited years in a past life
running out of rope and the waters high
i drowned for you and i didnt regret it
dont text me back in the afterlife
needed the time i didnt realise
i had it along, cant take my own advice
conflated filling the gaps for love

and its obvious
that im caved in and breaking up
but i know its good
i know its good
though its over now
in my dreams you call me back
but i hope you dont
i hope you dont

i hope youre gone and lost in better days
i been watching the time, how it erodes away
thinking bout how the last years feel like yesterdays
how did i lose grip on it?
honest
been falling through nightmares lightyears away
doing my best to keep those thoughts at bay
finding my highlights in the loudest places
and strangers faces 
getting caught up in the race of it

walking through the clearing crowd
if we took our chances
but we exchanged glances
call it in the moment
walking down the roads that i grew up on
falling out of habits
stopped bleeding for empathy’s sake

and its obvious
that im caved in and breaking up
but i know its good
i know its good
though its over now
in my dreams you call me back
but i hope you dont
i hope you dont

cos i dont need you to tell me

that its ok im going
im searching
for what i am now
ill find you if its urgent
or if im hurting
more than i am now
and well come back here some day
and laugh about it
memories that dont know
how it felt like i was burning
while you werent watching
took everything i loved
now nowhere feels like home
nowhere feels like home

been a long life
still got mad time
took a wrong right
on it last time
through the long night
made it out alright
told my brother hold tight
sometimes i can feel it
sometimes i still
sometimes i feel
some times

Call Me Back

94 Dreaming..

The frame ain’t the same no more is it
I painted this picture and let the words reflect my image
sometimes the truth hurts
like the first line of this verse
I expected too much
thinking there were just like me
i’ve got to start being selfish
helping others left me helpless
where the river
meets the stream
till the sky falls to its knees
& I could sit here for hours 
this perspective 
trespassing thoughts 
behind locked doors
that belong to thrown away keys
you see
needing me or need me not
dictates your smile
falling  into lines like I ain’t heard from you in a while 
I’ll be whoever you want 
providing you put your mind to it
tryna buy my freedom
should it afford my pride 
I wish I could believe you 
but I can’t 
there's too much on my plate
pour me another glass
drowning in these sorrows 
till I found peace with my past
drawn into a world where the flower is defined by the vase   


& that’s young me by the window sill, 
with questions that view can’t answer
guess it’s too, early to say
if what w’eve made are mistakes
You just wanna, lose your mind
to find your soul
I just need to see the world before I call this home 

 
I used to run riot when I was young
confused, tryna distinguish where someone like me belongs
when did i become the man
the cool kid I was never that


when they’ve learnt to love you for all but yourself 
you’re deluded wealth undermines your coming so far 
shattered glass
family portrait suddenly find the present
as we pick the past up
and recall it as heaven
it’s never seemed so insignificant
everything you worked for
too precious to enjoy 
ourselves we avoid 
these thoughts we employ
too much noise 
we just listen for the silence
the sits between the sirens
 
X


& I just found a place that no-one else knows
watch the sky reach till it lets go
I’ve never been afraid to close my eyes before
they’ll paint you how they want to in the end

I knew that you’d show
been caught up where you found me before 
wanna go
somewhere only we would know




You I said thought I told you to stop dreaming
but your reality never gave me the reason
to stop believing 
I chose the darkest path
to emancipate my own feelings 
clouding the vision 
distorting the meaning 
I mean its
clearer now than ever
growing up under pressure 
nothings ever promised 
a slave for the word better …
If you see me you don’t know me 
stop pretending 
you never attended 
not to mention 
I was left to put to bed all of my questions 
but i’ll sleep on it
dream bigger 
new frame of mind
the bigger picture
fingers travel scriptures
till we capsize
I’ma keep running
we sinning
pushed back to the beginning
..the past speaking to me like a family 20 minute visit 

dreamt of this line last night
stood at some height 
over the city, prepared to leave all these memories
behind
compromised by my 
desire to make it all on my own
you’ll begin to sink in when you’re stone..
……….
We we need  a comparative perspective to be free
happy despite all that you haven’t seen
scared to look for answers
coz you know what they might be 
94 Dreaming
still looking for a mirror that I believe in



& I just found a place that no-one else knows
watch the sky reach till it lets go
I’ve never been afraid to close my eyes before
they’ll paint you how they want to in the end

I knew that you’d show
I’ve been caught up where you found me before 
wanna go
somewhere only we could know


when they’ve learnt to love you for all but yourself 
you’re deluded wealth undermines your coming so far 
shattered, glass
family portraits suddenly find the present
as we pick the past up
and recall it as heaven
it’s never seemed so insignificant
everything you worked for
too precious to enjoy 
ourselves we avoid 
these thoughts we employ
too much noise 
we just listen for the silence
the sits between the sirens

This is a folder of music that EDEN uploaded to his Facebook page a little over two years ago as he made the transition from The Eden Project to EDEN. It contains (almost, it's missing a few collaborations) everything that he created up until April 2015 (I believe) where he made the transition to EDEN.

Verse 1

Breathe deep it aint what you want 
Next episode goes lights out
Gonna see these stars appear
Coming up 
Walking back, I know it’s not burning
My lungs collapsing 
So what I got to fear 

Now it’s done



Hook

The surface I can see the surface from here 
24 and checking off

What the fuck I need a minute for
My brothers back tonight though
Right right right yeah


I was waiting for you right here





Verse 2

Yo, uh 

Under this weight that you feel 
A shadow of guilt until 
You’re ready to
(As the sun sets over us all)
Swallow this pill 
I take too many and feel
Like, 
It’s 
nothing 

I’m drowning in this water, supposed to make it fall easy
Keep going 
And you’ll see me 
Through the crowds
an island
We’re all falling for something
You could, could have been mine
Still looking for the past in the … full of… 


Say they’ve lived their best days 
Must be too afraid
I put a flower in this vase
Hope it rains today

Looking at me like I’m nothing
Till that second keeps falling
My footsteps echo
Into your memory



Hook

The surface I can see the surface from here 
24, and checking off
What the fuck I need a minute for
My brothers back tonight though 
Right, right, right yeah


I was waiting for you right here





Verse 3

I put this all in the open
Stand where you want to
I pay for the ceremony
I payed for that smile too
They’re gonna like me
you know you’re letting go now
You’re gonna love me
You know I gotta go know
Tell him the truth
If he don’t remember…

I found my voice in this echo chamber
Fuck your help 
I don’t want no favours
Not now, we’ll talk about it later 
Claustrophobic zooming out, major
They aint seen it like this, when the lights fade in
Bad news coming in, I couldn’t take no time
My two worlds collide, the silence to sirens
Sirens to silence
You in my city but it’s just bad timing
There’s a party tomorrow and you just might find it
Text me in the morning say it just feels different
Too busy, I missed it
But we good right (Good right)
Promised I’ll be thinking ‘bout you all night
Change flight stay or go
Go or stay 
This shit doesn’t have no name
So if I see you in the morning we won’t know what to say



Hook

The surface I can see the surface from here 
24, and checking off
What the fuck I need a minute for
My brothers back tonight though 
Right, right, right yeah


I was waiting for you right here







Outro

If I let reality set in now
I might have to drown in everything they offer me and Iii
I’m running late Can you pick me up….

(Pick me up) deep slowed down voice

touch me and slip away 
i cant hide feeling out of place 
i cant function oh my mistake 
thought you were someone i once knew 
i was light-years ahead of me 
thoughts in my head dont disappear 
i was a maybe 
that made you the truth 
in time i will come 
to see it for how 
it really was 
in my mind its only 
false faces whisper 
love you

if that feeling had a price 
then i would gladly pay it 
over and over and over til im broke 
and if you held me for ransom 
id love it id never want to go home 
but all this hypothetical thinking 
is digging me down 
and maybe i was seconds away 
but it doesnt matter now 
heat death only seconds away 
so no it dont matter now

touch me and slip away 
i cant hide feeling out of place 
i cant function oh my mistake 
thought you were someone i once knew 
theres lightyears ahead of me 
voices in my head dont disappear 
i was a maybe 
that made you the truth 
in time i will come 
to love it for how 
it really was 
in my mind its only 
false faces whisper 
see you

Lyrics

Yo

Chorus:
Running round the city
Running through my thoughts
Rolling in the deep end
Finding all we’ve lost
Holding on so fleeting
Falling in the dark
Blocks holding up the ceiling
Blue lights far below 


Just poured my head and my mask in
You see the light, you’re the darkness 
Light up the city, I left the bedside on
Still darkness giving my light wings 
We opposite sides of the same thing 
Blue, white red and it’s waving (sirens)
Da ta ta tay take, till it hits right 
All turns white then it’s back to black

Can’t keep all these thoughts in head 
Made me think twice, I can’t forget 
Made me think twice, ah wipe the sweat
It’s all ahead 

Influence slips off my open mind 
The Waterfall,
Puddle at my feet,
Keep walking 
The fading frame to the coffee clubbing, meet n greets 


Word, Old shadows are tall 
Man lost his life his boy lost more 
Scar to the dome
Foot to the floor
In this life ain’t shit to wait for 
I could have sworn I seen him before 
You from round here 
You sure are you sure
Zoom out a moment 
Through heaven n more 
Tell that kid run
Till you can’t no more
I ain’t looked back for 10 years that’s us
Fuck their walls all made of glass 
Keep going forward, outrunning the past
Past your moment past your chance
Odds stacked against 
My voice stretch far
X marked the spot 
RIP it apart 
This is England
We can’t see Jack 
What u saying 
You think you’re all that ?



Running round the city
Running through my thoughts
Rolling in the deep end
Finding all we’ve lost
Holding on so fleeting
Falling in the dark
Blocks holding up the ceiling

Blue lights far below .. x3




Yo
I saw the breakthrough before I heard it -
Hell surrounds these churches
Poverty, preys its lurking
Mothers pray for their youngest 
Cry for their oldest
The moment’s gone, try hold it 
But their ain’t no mercy
Life moves on, the rents 850
Run for the train, why the fuck it leave early.. 
Have to order one cab back to Burley
My Boy said he’s short 
I spotted him 30
Mum’s calling 
I’ll call you in 30
Shit, I hope that the test came back fine
Rain taps on the side of the cab
Driver keeps making eye contact 
Yo just drop me at the lay 
Hold that change 
It’s pissing it down now
This feeling again 
Watch the panic set in 
Sweaty palms
Caught in a daze
I can’t explain
Ain’t felt this in months
Phone going off in my pocket like a siren
Almost at the flat where my keys, I can’t find em..
Tight jaw, feeling it tighten 
Don’t look down, boy Boy keep climbing
Four walls, deep black, n their rising 
Devils whispers are reminders
Of everything youv’e been hiding 
Or just can’t face 
Move past faces 
Running.Still 
Sideways 
Take the stairs 
Can’t find the breaks 
Imagine they saw me like this 
Third time I feel the keys in my pocket I must have missed before
Hand up to the door,
Shaking, more
Open it slam it
Slowly drop to the.. 


Running round the city
Running through my thoughts
Rolling in the deep end
Finding all we’ve lost
Holding on so fleeting
Falling in the dark
Blocks holding up the ceiling

Blue lights far below .. x3








extras: 

 Let it feel my weight
Ahhh
Through the window
murky fog makes a maze of the local park 
Heart beats to the unknown 
One meets three
Thoughts over me like a drone
Throwing up 
Slowly, Eaze out the freeze..
