All journeys start with a decision, from then any step will get you closer to your destination...or not!

OUTBREAK

Some escapism!

Lyrics: 

If we're not one then let's be water,
If we're not floating, we're not real.
I love your colour when you falter,
You're glowing sapphire in the steel. 

Step out your world and drape it around me,
I'll slide my arms through what's undone. 
We are the could and would and should be,
Where rivers blush under the sun.
~
And be that as it may, still, still,
There's something inexplicable 
In finding all of me could be all of you.

(Just for a while, don't speak and listen...)

I lost the girl in me but caught her,
Your boy was tired of everyone. 
They bound together in the water
And shimmered silver in the sun.

i see you all
you sang to me
surrender to me
all your shame
i will burn it away
surrender to me
all your pain
i will kiss it to flames

All Your Shame

Live in the Studio

Guilty pleasures:

1.  70's synth wig-outs
2.  Guitars put through modern amps with fuzz, ping-pong delay and a s**t load of reverb
3. Mellotron choirs...

ESP (Weaponised)
