What are you doing with your self these days
I guess you're kinda busy from the lack of things you say to me
That's alright we'd just talk shite anyway
How are you and where've you've been and did you lose your fingers cus That's the only explanation for no more communication with you
Did you just get bored I'm not a stick and I think you could've handled it Just a bit better it's a shame about the weather but I'm not cold ladada
Where did you where did you where did you go
Something makes something fonder
My hairs a good bit longer and I'm not always so somber anymore
So you wouldn't have to pick me up every single day
Just the odd one here and there
I know I've sung these songs before but I don't think that you listened to em
Which I thought was kinda rude I wrote those songs for me and you
Where did you where did you where did you go

I want the sun the shine but it's cloud above
I do my best to try I can't see you love
I want the crowds to show but it's quiet out
I try to please around but I've a lot of doubt
and I know that it's never leaving
I've just got to keep believing that it's
Alright to be unseen
It's all love playing on your team
You'll arrive and you'll be on time
The dark's only here so the light can shine oh yeah it's
All good with you and me
It's all good we've a guarentee
It's alright we've ourselves to be
It's all good we've got the world to see
It's all good we've got the world to see
It's all good
I wanna feel the peace I can only imagine
I wanna say release and lose all attachment
I feel at ease oh let me be at ease
Won't you hear me please won't you hear me
and I know that it's never leaving
I've just got to keep believing that it's
Alright to be unseen
It's all love playing on your team
You'll arrive and you'll be on time
The dark's only here so the light can shine oh yeah it's
All good with you and me
It's all good we've a guarentee
It's alright we've ourselves to be
It's all good we've got the world to see
It's all good we've got the world to see
It's all good
Just keep doing what you do
I know that it's never leaving I've just got to keep believing

When this body noticed
That yours would soon be missed
Tears surrendered to their tendency
To fall to flow to flourish
Returned to the source
Their purpose fulfilled
A lesson taught
Perhaps yet to be learned
This body still remembers it may
Never forget
And the mind it still wanders toward all that was said
There’s warmth there somewhere
Though I can’t quite place it
I’m freezing or I’m burning
With all that I’m faced with
There’s nothing really there
I know there never really was
It’s all a hoax a trick to keep us sick
But now we live and learn from it
And with a leap of faith
We’ll dance to the dissonance
And we strive for separation
Knowing then that we’ll arrive
And the day we’ll be together
Is the day that we remember
We were never, ever alone

Show me darkness
Show me light
Show me all the things
That make this life
Give me all I need to be the best I'll ever be
I’m always searching
Always finding what I seek
Oh we jump and we fall back down
I hold my heart and we dance around
I'll be afraid
I'll break the plans I made
Whatever you give me I will take
I'm gonna be the best
I'll embrace the darkness
I've got all these silly people
Knocking at my door
I could do my best to run from it or
Trust that I can handle it
I guess I’ll have to let you in
I'll be scared of all the things I'll miss
I'll be there to greet you with a kiss
I'll take the rain so the roots can grow
To stand tall when the wind it blows
Stand tall when the wind it blows oh yeah cus it's gonna blow
I've got all these silly people
Knocking at my door
I could do my best to run from it or
Trust that I can handle it
I guess I’ll have to let you in
I’ve got all these silly people
Knocking at my door
I could do my best to run from it or
Trust that I can handle it
And say
Hello sadness tell me how have you been
Oh hey frustration
It's a few days since we last played
Anger I see you've found me
Come and sit we'll have some tea
Oh looks it's my old friend
Envy what's been happening
I guess I’ll have to let you in
I guess I’ll have to let you in
Lust how are you doing
Tell me what is new with you
Disapproval I thought you left for good last spring
Worthlessness where have you been
You almost made me stop singing
I guess I'll have to let you in

There you go again
Ruining my self
How do I feel
I don't know
But I'm trying and I'm dying
And I'm crying in the process
Cus I
Don't think that I'll make it out alive
or that I'm worth it
If you don't think to help me then
How am I gonna do anything by myself
I don't know
A pretty girl just walked right passed my window
How do I dress?
I guess that I'll just let her walk to where she's going
As if I'm her business
Why's it so hard to be, when it's all we're put here to do?
Well I know just where my body's at but
I couldn't tell you where I've been
I'll avoid all human contact cus what it costs I
Can't afford, no
I can't sleep without my shirt on
Darling where've you been
Cus I've not seen you in a while
Talk
Talk to
Talk to me

I'm trying hard not to try too hard
Moving slow and I'm going far
Raise your head see what I see
Give me a place to be
7 billion people
Just like me
Not a lotta differece
That I can see
Oh yeah we've built a wall
But if you stand up tall
Behold all the lovely sights that you see
Whatever you do don’t mind me
I've taken half the breath I'm supposed to
How am I gonna live?
And I'm out of practice darling
Maybe now you leave
My minds got a habit of turning
Nothing into something bad
It's never worth the time I give it and
I just want it back
I’m kind of lousy at
Keeping myself sane
Life’s wreaking all kinds of havoc
And I could do without my brain
Just for today
I've taken half the breath I'm supposed to
How am I gonna live?
And I'm out of practice darling
Maybe now you leave
My minds got a habit of turning
Nothing into something bad
It's never worth the time I give it and
I just want it back
I've taken half the breath I'm supposed to
How am I gonna live?
And I'm out of practice darling
Maybe now you leave
Skins creeping out your shirt
I love you

Trust

I doubt this path from time to time
But I know peace will never leave my side
Maybe you hide away just for the day
And surprise me then to say oh hey
I loved and left but I've still not lost
The heart will hold at zero cost
All the joy that you've felt
The hand has been dealt
You need not fear
It’s gonna do you well
I don't know but I'm gonna trust that it
All goes and all that we know
The river runs down and the love hits the shore
The sun drinks it up and the clouds give us more
I don't know but I'm gonna trust
That the waves still crash and the heart will last
All through the storm we'll meet at the calm
Now that we're held we will go on
Then comes a time where we ask for a miracle
Surrender you're innocence that is the pinnacle
It's lush with the learning, ripe and discerning
The fruit that you reap ain't making you weak
I woke today screaming I want to stay
In the place that I'm safe
Here I will hide away
There is no destruction
You're just at a junction
Still on the road
Still tight with your soul
Hell's right here but I'm gonna choose heaven
Into the light so high on the seven
I don't know but I'm gonna trust that it
All goes and all that we know
The river runs down and the love hits the shore
The sun drinks it up and the clouds give us more
I don't know but I'm gonna trust
That the waves still crash and the heart will last
All through the storm we'll meet at the calm
Now that we're held we will go on
I've got love for the crazy, love for the lazy
Love for myself and love for my lady
Love for the days when I feel ashamed
And love for the life that’s given tonight
I've got love for the people
Pain is the the prequel
Present this moment
I sing this song and
If you do listen you'll find your way
Bathe in the bliss that is there today
x2
I don't know but I'm gonna trust
(Hell's right here but I'm gonna choose heaven)

Scared

I drew blood from the stone and
Now I know that the anchor was binding
The light it was blinding I
Kissed her skin I felt her sweet embrace
Her love forever ingrained in my way
I won't now turn elsewhere but in
Grateful for everywhere I've been
In the dark lies a lesson
The pain it will lessen
Don't chase it away you're gonna see brighter days
I'm not scared like I used to be
I let go of the certainty
The warmth it is calling
You've never been falling
Rely on the weather
We talk about better
But the best is now
The way it's always been
All my days I wanted to feel seen
But the gaze I was missing
Was the one I'd been giving
To everybody else I never looked at myself
I'm not scared like I used to be
I let go of the certainty
I don't mean to repeat
It's just all I can see
I'll sing it differently if it comes to me
Letting it go is the best thing I know
All that you long for now it will show
All that you long for now it will show

Share with me one last time
It'll be a while to realign
Barefoot in the garden
Hands out of our pockets
We only tease our senses
On a regular basis
Go on and face it
There's beauty in the breaking
We're walking home
You don't have a say in anything
All of this is my own doing
I'm keen to share with you there
Eager to see your self bare
If you weren't here would I have left by now
Till you go there's not long now
There's something in the silence
That I'm really fond of
We're walking home
With the loving trees
A gap in the green
See what it means
We're born in the seam
Hold me tight
Oh this night
A forest fire ignite
Hold me just right
You never jump right in
A beige mandolin
I think you and me fit in
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

I can just imagine sitting
Inside your kitchen
Your feet wrapped up cosy and held just right
I can just imagine you sitting
Inside your kitchen
In the tiny little place you're hidden
out of the way
Surrounded by trails
The trees go for days till you hit
The loving water side I know
You can feel what you feel
If that’s what you need
Well my sweet
You're always near to me
You can cry if you like
If tears are your type
Hurt for the moment
If that's what you need
We're so quick to judge the way we walk and trudge through this life
All the ups and downs
Spinning around feels like it's going in circles down into the ground
Or it's a spiral up Jai said
And the views always best from the top
We're gonna get there just like that baby bear
You can feel what you feel
If that’s what you need
Well my sweet
You're always near to me
You can cry if you like
If tears are your type
Hurt for the moment
If that's what you need
In what seems to be your darkest day
Know that you are safe
When the darkest of all graces you
Know that you are safe
You're safe in my arms which so willingly harbour your perfect presence
You're safe when I'm gone for love knows no distance
When I'm here your eyes may see what has always been
You're safe
You're safe with me
And with me you will always be.
