Hold on to your melody Let it fall around your feet Hold on to the one you love And I'll accept it isn't me Why do I taste the bitterness When all you've ever been was sweet? I'll stay lost in thought You'll stay oblivious to me. // So don't leave behind the ocean of green in which I'm drowning. I've been standing in shadow Seeing love so bright I've a lightstain in my eyes // I will try to catch the sun To feel the warmth I won't get from you Strangers are calling out my name In transient dreams I can't see through. Embrace the colour of the lights Like I embraced the fog you placed in my head I'll stay lost in thought You'll stay oblivious instead. // So don't leave behind the ocean of green in which I'm drowning. I've been standing in shadow Seeing love so bright I've a lightstain in my eyes // Might be falling into your oblivion But at least I'm falling into you.

Wildfire 03:55
lyrics

You're being hunted You're wearing thin. Though the vultures remain beneath your skin. Strike a match Spark the flames behind your eyes It's elusive, addictive, It's burning you down to the ground. The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now. The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now. // And what goes up Doesn't always come down my dear. For what went up in flames, Well it's not going out my dear // The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now. The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now. You'll hear whispers Drown out the screams. For your flesh has gone up in smoke, Though your skin looks clean. Strike a match Spark the flames behind your eyes It's elusive, addictive, It's burning you down to the ground. The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now. The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now. // And what goes up Doesn't always come down my dear. For what went up in flames, Well it's not going out my dear // This wildfire, it's not that far. It's coming for us, it's not that far. This wildfire, this wildfire. This wildfire, it's not that far. It's coming for us, it's not that far. This wildfire, this wildfire. The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now. The flames are growing now, growing now, growing now, growing now.

Skyline Elevation 04:16
lyrics

Synchronise with me A slow dance to a technicolour drum Eyes lock with me And skyline elevation is all I know Hypnotising me It beats out of my chest, you claim it I saw it in your eyes, You saw it in my desperation This skyline elevation is taking hold My thoughts are running, there's a fever coming As I drown in clarity A crimson burning and an unhooked button Is all that's clear to me // Eyes ablaze in flourescent lights, Car radio takes me to new heights And I fall - though the strobes won't catch me now. Two hearts alight in this neon forest At sunrise, I find solace in you. In you. // Hallucinate with me Your fingerprints on my bones Reciprocating me You skyline elevate me, my body glows. My pulse is running, there's a fever coming As I drown in clarity A crimson burning and an unhooked button Is all that's clear to me // Eyes ablaze in flourescent lights, Car radio takes me to new heights And I fall - though the strobes won't catch me now. Two hearts alight in this neon forest At sunrise, I find solace in you. In you. // Synchronise with me Hypnotising me Hallucinate with me Reciprocating me Synchronise with me Hypnotising me Hallucinate with me Reciprocating me // Eyes ablaze in flourescent lights, Car radio takes me to new heights And I fall - though the strobes won't catch me now. Two hearts alight in this neon forest At sunrise, I find solace in you. In you. //

Kaleidoscope 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Your soul's lost, but so's mine Breath grown silver from lost time A change in perspective, so divine It's in the dead of night you come alive I'm all for the taking, I'm all for the taking, I'm all for the taking // And you're so evolved You're so evolved Oh, you're so evolved. // You fixate on what you don't know Your mind caught in the kaleidoscope Electrocution to ignite the bones You might be lonesome but you're not alone You're all for the taking, you're all for the taking, you're all for the taking // And you're so evolved You're so evolved Oh, you're so evolved. // An epiphany to pull you from the tides The colour sinks through skin, He finally dims the lights. An epiphany to pull you from the tides The colour sinks through skin, He finally dims the lights. // And you're so evolved You're so evolved Oh, you're so evolved. //

lyrics
buy track
An open mind closes in again. Conceal the loneliness between the palms of your hands Thick fog, intoxicate Headlights illuminate me. // Think I'm falling, Oh I'm falling Into oblivion Think I'm falling, Oh I'm falling Into oblivion. // Vivid memory at low resolution Reality blurred with my own delusion Dark room, screen light Closed eye, you realise The routine that you locked yourself into. // Think I'm falling, Oh I'm falling Into oblivion Think I'm falling, Oh I'm falling Into oblivion. // You bite the bullet, but be careful not to choke Your head is in the clouds, your eyes are in the smoke You crash to the mattress to sleep alone Your head is in the clouds, your eyes are in the smoke

The Eclipse (Demo) 03:46
lyrics
You're painting me pictures with words Piece the puzzle together and hold it like glue. Drape myself in your aura, A moment of weakness Can't help when you look like you do. If it takes two to tango, then dance with me now Before morning light creeps through the door I can't see my feet but I know that I'm tethered to ground Once more. // And you come. //

about

// I experience things. I write songs about them. That's pretty much all there is to it.

I like making people feel things. I love music that you'd listen to in a dark room at 3am and just reflect on life. It doesn't have to be sad, necessarily, but that dream-like state in the early hours, full of melancholy, or euphoria, or loneliness, is what my music tries to reflect. A bit of piano, some vibey synth, and a microphone is where I feel most at home.

my songs are merely stories, set to tunes. the lyrics might sometimes be shrouded in disguise, but i like it that way. interpretation is everything.

This EP is a reflection of my youth. It covers all sorts of emotions, stories and people I encountered. This music is how I view the world after the sun goes down.

thanks for listening. //
