Hard to Sleep, Easy to Dream (LP | 2017)

I am Just a Body
So hard to sleep, but so easy to dream
So hard to fall asleep, but so easy to fall for your dreams

And you take me by the shoulders
Tell me I’m the one with choices
Want the world to keep on rolling
Bury her, you know she can’t hold us all, hold us all

And your words fall on my vacant heart
Got me thinking that
I am just a body, oh I am just a body
That can make you happy for a little while
You will drown in love
But I am just a body, oh I am just a body
No soul, no soul

So quick to give it all, but won’t answer that call
How can you love someone if you don’t love yourself?
Float in, and out, the mind’s not present at all

And you take me by the shoulders
Tell me I’m the one with choices
Want the world to keep on rolling
Bury her, you know she can’t hold us all, hold us all

I wish that I could give my life, instead of you, instead of you
I wish that I could hold your heart
The broken beat, beats in the dark
I wish I could fight it, the angels’ crying to sleep that night because of you

Take Care of You
Baby, lately, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?
Lately, baby, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?

What would you bear?
Would you bear it all?
Would you give it all for an intangible thought and…
Would you let me be chaos?
Would you promise to be kind if I said I want you, want all of you
And I’ll take care of you
I’ll take care of you
If you were mine and I was yours, talk until our lips bleed

Baby, lately, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?
Lately, baby, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?

Your body it lays
Just a vessel so we’ll leave it here for two days
And let the spirit fly out of your mouth
Into each and everything around
Is that just a love bite or a reason to write home?
But I’ll take care of you
If you were mine and I was yours, talk until our lips bleed

Baby, lately, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?
Lately, baby, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?

If you were mine and I was yours, talk until our lips bleed
If you were mine and I was yours, talk until our lips bleed

Baby, lately, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?
Lately, baby, oh you’re so crazy
Is this a concept you can sink your teeth into?

Move Me
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits with mine
With mine, with mine, with mine

Slow crush, it grows as we move closer
Talk trash, it flows
You say you want me
But you can’t get it back cause the feeling is gone
No, you can’t have me back not now that I’m stolen

I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits

Hearts lush, just motion in my mind cage
Talk, touch, come move me like you wanna
Feel the beat, bring it back
Cause the feeling is gone
And you get it back not now that I’m stolen

I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
True love with somebody, alright for the one night of bliss
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits
I’ll borrow your body if only to see how it fits with mine
With mine, with mine, with mine

At night, shake your body just to lose your mind
You’re coming up in bruises
City of the ruined, honey
Honey lotus, dancing oh like a fool yeah
But you’re golden, moving fast, hand right down my back
I’m soulless so you wanna move me
You wanna move me
You wanna move me, honey

Give Me All You Got
Baby give me you got
And love will make you fall to your knees
And you will fall again
I don’t really know where I’m going
But I’m honest and I want this
Take me by the hand, I need you around, alright

And my hands wanna heal
You can see in my eyes
But you know it’s a stretch
Cause they fall by my side
It’s your body, so choose if we are flying tonight
And we’re up, and we’re up
Until we’re coming alive

And you take the bullet
Put it in your mouth and
Soak the words until you’re armed

Is it a fear of love or a fear of mine?
Let our bodies make the rhythm that we’re feeling inside
It’s your turn, so choose if we are flying tonight
And we’re up, and we’re up
Until we’re coming alive

And you take the bullet
Put it in your mouth and
Soak the words until you’re armed
When you’re wrapped in someone
And you can’t deny them
Load it up into your gun, alright

Baby give me you got
And love will make you fall to your knees
And you will fall again
I don’t really know where I’m going
But I’m honest and I want this
Take me by the hand, I need you around, alright
Baby give me you got
And love will make you fall to your knees
And you will fall again
I don’t really know where I’m going but
I don’t really know where I’m going but

And you take the bullet
Put it in your mouth and
Soak the words until you’re armed
When you’re wrapped in someone
And you can’t deny them
Load it up into your gun

And you take the bullet
Put it in your mouth and
Soak the words until you’re armed
When you’re wrapped in someone
And you can’t deny them
Load it up into your gun, alright

Not a Fighter
I’m honest when words leave my lips
I promise there ain’t nothing in that kiss
And you know, I love you but I’m not a fighter
I promise there’s nothing I miss
I want you, you’re the only one that I breathe with
And you know, I love you but I’m not a fighter

I’m honest when words leave my lips
I promise there ain’t nothing in that kiss
And you know, I love you but I’m not a fighter
I promise there’s nothing I miss
I want you, you’re the only one that I breathe with
And you know, I love you but I’m not a fighter

Have you really woken with last night’s dress on, girl?
Have you really got what it takes to do the right thing, love?
Oh, you think my heart beats in my eyes
I look at you and sigh
I feel sorry for you
I sigh, I feel sorry for you, you, you

Maybe it’s good if it hurts and the pain will be worth it all
Take the beauty of love and choke it in your palms
Oh, I know your heart beats in your eyes
One look from you, I’m high
I feel something for you
So high, I feel something for you
I’m high, I feel something for you
So high, I feel something for you, you, you

I’m honest when words leave my lips
(Hang me up with the stars, slow it down)
I promise there’s nothing I miss
(Hang me up with the stars, slow it down)
I’m honest when words leave my lips
I want you, you’re the only one that I breathe with
And you know, I love you but I’m not a fighter

A Day in the Park (feat. Tom Iansek)
Be still, my brain needs time to soak it up
My heart’s an empty cup
One day is not enough

Take time to care for all the things you love
My heart’s an empty cuo
It’s time to fill it up

Be, still my brain needs time to soak it up
My heart’s an empty cup
One day is not enough

We’re pieces of one body
Two ripples in an ocean
I’m feeling everything you’re feeling
Let’s be bold and be revealing

Be still, my hands
Though it’s not enough
And they’re pulling you under
Can you stand up?
Do you stand for love?

Only accept the love you think you deserve
Drink it from a cup
And you don’t know what you’re worth
It’s time to fill it up

I’ve forgotten how to pray for an empty heart
And I’ve been haunted by the time that you give to hurt
I’ve forgotten how to pray for an empty heart
And I’ve been haunted by the time that you give to hurt
Heart’s an empty cup
It’s time to fill it up

We’re pieces of one body
Two ripples in an ocean
I’m feeling everything you’re feeling
Let’s grow old and be believing

Far Away (feat. Emma Louise)
What am I supposed to do without all this trust
Cause I don’t trust you anymore
Everything you’ve ever said has turned to dust
Then you open your mouth and I’m all like

But what am I supposed to do with all of this truth
I can see it playing in slow mo
The convo’s jumping all up and down
I’ll be damned if I am to stick around

Oh boy, you must think my head is full of air
You must hope my head is full of air
Yeah, well if it was well I’d fly far from here
Far away from all your lies and chains

I’d float far from this city
Follow rivers and fly with things
Find a light where everything’s pretty
Find a place where you’re not in it

Oh I’d float far, float far, far away
Float far, float far, far away

How am I supposed to breathe with all of this smoke climbing up through my rib cage?
Everything you want me to be, I am and more
But you turn your cheek and I’m all like
But what am I supposed to do to validate this love?
Cause I don’t know you anymore
You’re always pulling me back and forth
You keep me bouncing all wall to wall

Oh boy, you must think my head is full of air
You must hope my head is full of air
Yeah, well if it was well I’d fly far from here
Far away from all your lies and chains

I’d float far from this city
Follow rivers and fly with things
Find a light where everything’s pretty
Find a place where you’re not in it

Oh I’d float far, float far, far away
Float far, float far, far away

And don’t you think that all of this love that we feel
Is just too painful to ever be real
You think that all of this love that we feel
Is just too painful to ever be real

Vessel (feat. Fractures)
Move into the light
I’m seeing more than just your body
More than just the air you take that makes your blood keep running

And I wanna love you like you’re all mine
And we’re gonna hurt and it’s alright

The physical kind of loving
Is not enough without the soul
You’re so much more than a vessel
You can give what you don’t know

There’s no fast way out when I’m feeling down
But your whole heart’s laid out
And now, I’m coming round

And I wanna love you like you’re all mine
And we’re gonna hurt and it’s alright
You’ve got the kind of love that has got me fighting more than a little

Tell me what you wished for
Tell me, did you feel this coming?
It’s the kind of innocence that lingers, makes my blood start running

Your physical kind of loving
Is not enough with the soul
You’re so much more than a vessel
You can give what you don’t know

And I wanna love you like you’re all mine
And we’re gonna hurt and it’s alright
You’ve got the kind of love that has got me fighting more than a little
And I wanna love you like you’re all mine
And we’re gonna hurt and it’s alright
You’ve got the kind of love that has got me fighting more than a little

And as you fall, I will collect you
(I could never let you go)
And as you fall, I will collect you
(I could never let you go)
And as you fall, I will collect you
(I could never let you go but)
We’re gonna hurt and it’s alright

Bloodshot Blue
Bloodshot blue eyes roll back
I’ve got so much love for you
That I’m failing life for the first time
I could die here with angels’ cries

And you could watch me cry listening to The National
I could fall in love every time I hear a sad song
Just because I’m high, don’t mean my mind is liquid
You could look to God, and drink to make you feel good

But whatever you do, you cannot bring her back
But I can fill the gap if you want me to
I can fill the gap if you want me

I have both fear and hope
I heard it in my mother’s voice when she spoke
Inspire me like an accelerant
Quick to breathe the flame deep in your lungs

But whatever you do, you cannot bring her back
But I can fill the gap if you want me to
I can fill the gap if you want me

I could fill the, I could fill the
(and you could watch me, I could fall in love)
I could fill the, I could fill the gap
(and you could watch me, I could fall in love)
I could fill the, I could fill the gap

Shut the Light Out
Hurt you last night
Don’t know what I was thinking
Don’t know what I been drinking
You love me despite
All the dreams escaping from my mouth in the dead of the night

And if I’m here but I’m lost, would you own me?
Though it’s not what I want, you still hold me

Hide and seek late at night
You’d recall
Lie to me under sheets
Trace it all
Diving deep, I cannot speak
And beauty’s old
Shut the light out, shut the light out
Shut the light out, shut the light out

Hold on to her gently
Cause I don’t wanna risk it with only love as my witness
Come love me despite
All the stars escaping from my eyes in the dead of the night

And if I’m here but I’m lost, would you own me?
Though it’s not what I want, you still hold me

I’ll look out for your heart if you look out for mine
I’m still feeling the same, still feel that I need you
Look out for your heart if you look out for mine
I’m still feeling the same, still feel that I need you

And if I’m here but I’m lost, would you own me?
Though it’s not what I want, you still hold me

Hide and seek late at night
You’d recall
Lie to me under sheets
Trace it all
Diving deep, I cannot speak
And beauty’s old

Hide and seek late at night
You’d recall
Lie to me under sheets
Trace it all
Hide and seek late at night
You’d recall
Lie to me under sheets
Trace it all
Diving deep, I cannot speak
And beauty’s old
Shut the light out, shut the light out
Shut the light out, shut the light out

Roma Rose
When you think of me, do you think of me badly?
Cause I am consciously trying to love you better

When you think of me, do you think of me badly?
Cause I consciously trying to be a better one
To keep you safe from harm
Your eyes are full of hurt
And I want to take it all, take it all

So I can finally breathe
Knowing you’re free to leave
Though I can love you better
Just wanna love you better

And I can love you better
Just wanna love you better
Know I can love you better
One day I’ll love you better

Stallin’ (Single | 2015)
And when you wanna call, don’t call
How can you love me from the pay phone?
I’m stallin for you but you’re too slow
Take all your baggage baby just go
And when you wanna call, don’t call
Just go, just go

Late at night you’re walking, feeling like you were falling
How can you love me from the pay phone?

We can make out but girl, I wanna feel close, feel close

And when you wanna call, don’t call

I’m stallin for you but you’re too slow
Take all your baggage baby just go

Not gonna lie, I still leave the key out for you
I could love you, we can make it work out for you
How can you look at me like that?
Been waiting round every sun’s collapse
I could lie about forever too
I could call me out fAnd when you wanna call, don’t call
How can you love me from the pay phone?
I’m stallin for you but you’re too slow
Take all your baggage baby just go
And when you wanna call, don’t call

How can you look at me like that?
Been waiting round every sun’s collapse
I could lie about forever too
I could call me out for loving you
But all these pictures in this building, they won’t even touch me in this feeling

And when you wanna call, don’t call
How can you love me from the pay phone?
I’m stallin’ for you but you’re too slow
Take all your baggage baby just go, just go

And I will never return to you
Cause I been living a lie for you

Cause I’ve been living a lie, it’s time you figured it out
I will never return to you

I’m stallin’ for you but you’re too slow
Take all your baggage baby just go, just go

And I will never return to you
Cause I been living a lie for you
And I will never return to you
Cause I’ve been living a lie, it’s time you figured it out
I will never return to you

Japanese Wallpaper (feat. Airling)
Forces (written & performed by Airling)
I’ve been thinking bout it
On my own, and all morning
Heavy on your shoulders
Over and over, I’d settle for those forces

You feel it in your bones but you won’t act on it
There’s something in your heart but you won’t talk talk talk about it
The sun surrenders, my mind wants to give me up

Cause I’ve been thinking bout it
And I’ve been dreaming bout you
Won’t do a thing about this
Cause i don’t wanna ruin you, mm
I been, I been tripping on ya
Haven’t even got a clue
Won’t do a thing about this
Cause i don’t wanna ruin you

And I’ve been tripping on your sweet nothings, and I’ve lost it
What you’ve got is magic
Over and over, close your eyes and let it floor you

You feel it in your bones but you won’t act on it
There’s something in your heart that you won’t talk talk talk about it
The sun surrenders, my mind wants to give me up

Love Gracefully (EP | 2014)

Ouroboros

Erase it and erase me
It’s a circular faith in living
Oh that small space where your heart should be,
fill it with hands on lips, kiss for feeling

Falling through insanity
You think I’m crazy
Love, it lingers after death and into reality
Oh a life lost is not armour gained

You wanna love gracefully
through your heart that’s failing
Wanna die with dignity, we can make it happen
But fight a little extra for me and ill brave it all oh
Fight a little extra for me and ill brave it all

Erase it and erase me
It’s a circular faith in living
Oh that small space where your heart should be,
fill it with hands on lips, kiss for feeling

Love is not all you gave
At the end are we all saved?
Why did you fight and why did we pray?
When the beginning was the end He made

By Thorns
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold

Against a page of the lady ripped
by thorns and broken with flaws
Spill to the floor
and then we’ll crawl to safety of a love you need

Hear this voice take its toll
Feel my love through your soul
Left with nothing to fight

Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold

Here in her arms you used to feel moved oh
It is warm for a moment… gone
Set her free from the things you seek oh
How far will broken wings fall?

Hear this voice take its toll
Feel my love through your soul
Left with nothing to fight

Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold

Wasted Pilots
A broken in mess
But you don’t need no one to tell you how it is oh

Broken from the head down to the toes
Losing everything that you live for
Sleeping all the nights with your eyes pinned
Swallowing the air when it tastes bitter

How much can your body take?
Only what your heart can make
Give it until your body breaks

Black and blue all over your body
Feeling it now though it’s been years since she left
And the ghost of you is lonely
It’s a war baby
Fight it with your hands tied behind your back oh

Broken from the head down to the toes
Losing everything that you live for
Sleeping all the nights with your eyes pinned
Swallowing the air when it tastes bitter

How much can your body take?
Only what your heart can make
Give it until your body breaks

Fly with wasted pilots
Fly with wasted pilots
Feeling alive but dead inside
Feeling alive but dead inside

How much can your body take?
Only what your heart can make
Give it until your body breaks

The Runner
The runner doesn’t speak
He won’t speak to me
Pack a bag and fly across the seas
And don’t feel a thing

But the booze to your head,
The women in your bed
And do you know what it’s like to be sober?

No longer, no more looking back
When you’re high there’s no time for that
Leave me here, our love is not the law
But I’m all you are

So take the booze to your head,
the women in your bed
And do you know what it’s like to be sober?
With the booze in your head,
The women in your bed
And tell me what it’s like to be alone but so loved

Leave me here, leave me here
Love me here, love me more

Take the booze to your head,
The women to your bed
And do you know what it’s like to be sober?
With the booze in your head,
The women in your bed
And tell me what it’s like to be alone but so loved

Where You Are

Oooo ooo
Our hearts are still, they lie untouched
We’re worlds apart, we sleep alone

Don’t leave me with this monstrosity
Don’t leave me with this monstrosity

With pills I’m fine, they coat my mouth
Made room for guilt so slow my thoughts
Hold me now, leave me unwell
We don’t talk no more but love you no less

Don’t leave me with this monstrosity
Don’t leave me with this monstrosity

I’m a long, I’m a long way
I’m a long, I’m a long way from where you are
I’m a long, I’m a long way
I’m a long, I’m a long way from where you are
