And so, I guess that's it, I left something that I didn't know was mine to give I think it's enough that I rose forward and never thought about the things that's left in front of me to do So I wait here now and I think about all the wonders in my life and it's alright, it's true, I know you I don't want to see the end of everything without a piece of me intact, so wait for things now I know, when I get that thing in my voice, it tells me I'm me So when you feel enough of everything to let me consider myself, alone, will you hold me, against my arms? I feel enough of everything to want to throw myself into nothing, just for a chance to shine Shine a light on me, shine a light on those I care for enough to want to see everyday in my life Um

I’ll get to wondering aloud whether I’ll let myself sit here with you Tasting so many flavours and all of them interesting what shall I do? Scripted sentimentality The strangest reality that I have with you Never sure of the meaning The same old responses mean nothing is new

They played on carpets that over time frayed Their loosened threads entangled and displayed for everyone to see Why did you need to dangle that thread so carelessly As if consequences never mattered to you There’s no room for error We run helter-skelter And fear looms over everything But I can’t help but laugh because it only touches the surface

And we will see, between the things we had, that we forgot Alone, beside ourselves, there isn't time to think again And when I look out of this window, I don't see what I used to see

I’ll take you away from all the promises that you decide When they gather them up all the time There’s something else that you could have described here Now I don’t know about the murmuring that I drew out And I can never resist my desire/design To let you wander around Until I find your way back Until I let myself in Until I notice all the feelings that I never wanted to or thought I could handle alone Can you assess what I know and do and try, now, can you? Another reason for the one I love not to say Cut out of all the reasons that they have not to say They’ll never need another piece of this Saturday sin Until you listen I don’t hear a word Then I wonder aloud ‘There’s not enough to see you on my shoulder’ And I’ll go there because I do

I want to feel real love Don’t make me try I need you to talk to me Why won’t you listen? I want to feel like I’m free Don’t ever leave my side I need you to leave to get stronger Why’d you leave me to die? Give me a reason Don’t tell me why I want you to keep away from me Why do you hide? I need to feel supported Stop bleeding me dry I need to feel in control Why won’t you decide? I need to do so much better Here’s something to try What do you think about this? Stop controlling my life Give me a reason Don’t tell me why

Shouldn’t we be believing in something? Shouldn’t we be working towards something? Shouldn’t we be seeing something and trying to figure out what it is? Shouldn’t we be doing what we think is the right thing? Shouldn’t we be doing whatever it is that we’re supposed to be doing instead of this?

Am I no closer to you than I ever was when you decided to Listen from up here I don’t think I hear you so I say to you Leave my shoulder to someone who wants the rest of me So I say to you I won't disappear on me Just everybody else for everybody else Suddenly it's true I have disappeared on you Will you leave it there? Will you leave me here?

about

this album was almost done before I realised it existed

it evolved out of a desire to just play and see what happened,
to document the excitement of capturing an idea,
without thinking or deciding

most of the guitar and vocal tracks are improvised and/or first take,
and it probably shows,
which is kind of what I love about it
