I found myself 3 years ago Didn’t need meditation or Any kind of control As quick as I rose Sliding back into despondency yeah Nothing is permanent But change Do you visualise? Do you believe you’ll make it right? Do you think you’ll rise in spite of The great divide Or will you cower, cover your ears Detach until you disappear? This is modern life now And the stories they tell... You're in control Be your best friend Contentment is inside you It’s not a place at the end When I am true To myself I find I find Life is my own design Our time on Earth is short They keep you working/drinking You’re not thinking smart When you’re only just surviving Question all; our lives, their lies They want you dumb and compromised This is modern life now And the stories they tell... Even with our eyes we see different waves of energy, different reality Everything around us is just interpretation Are you waiting for a revelation? For the summer? For a holiday? Or do you need to be told that death is on its way? And the stories they tell... We don’t need the might of fear to bless us or forbid We know in ourselves whats good and whats destructive We don’t need the threat of guilt to be good people If we can’t think for ourselves, we can’t live without help If we can’t think for ourselves, we’ll buy every story they sell

I feel the sun in my sleep I feel the sun, I feel the heat I’m gon' be alive, when I feel my Mind free, get free, lost in the people I’m gon' feel alive when I rake my Seeds from the flowers of the purple steeple Every time you say your truth You grow a little inside Mmmm slow motion Bathing in the ocean Of the people and the laughter In the streets Mmmm slow motion Mmmm calm in the commotion Drinks, rocks and Harmonies and feet While I recharge Somethings goin' down in the city I need this time To cleanse my soul While I recharge People are spinning 'round in the city We need this time To feel worthwhile When I wake up I’m walking down to the city I feel the waves Washing over me When I wake up I’ll be venturing through the city I wanna feel the life It makes me feel alive inside I’m gon' be alive, when i feel my Mind free, get free, lost in the people I’m gon' feel alive when i rake my Seeds from the flowers of the purple steeple Every time you say your truth You grow a little inside

Please don't leave me wondering Please don't blow so hot and cold Please don't say that you miss me Then stare blankly and withold Touch me like you always do Let me know you're always there I'll hold you, I’ll love you, If you let me, I'll take care of you If you allow me to I'll take care of you If you allow me to I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take, take, take good care I’ll take, take, take good care of I’ll take, take, take good care I’ll take, take, take good care of you No don't shield your heart from me No don't close up and resist Your head might choose a safer route But only a heart can feel this kiss Use my shoulders when you're climbing Sleep on me when you need rest Rest on me when you're broken I will try to do my best for you If allow me to I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... If you allow me I’ll take, take, take good care I’ll take, take, take good care of I’ll take, take, take good care I’ll take, take, take good care of you I know you’re on a different plane Every day swallowed into a hole I know you’re living for survival Everything else on constant hold I'll still be here when it's all over And you've weathered the Summer Storm I'll still be here, I want no other Ready to take you in my arms I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... I’ll take care of... If you allow me I’ll take, take, take good care I’ll take, take, take good care of I’ll take, take, take good care I’ll take, take, take good care of you

Memory Of Footsteps 03:26
lyrics

He was standing on the seventh floor opening the door "Welcome to life!" he said He was on the top of the game as it were "Welcome to the world" he said, with a guff One day, years later I heard quiet footsteps Approaching slowly from behind I turned around, we hugged each other "Welcome to time," I said The great equaliser of all things I know my little memory of footsteps will be Swallowed into eternal oblivion By the ruthless ocean called the Universe But for now it’s there with all its might Like the death of a butterfly in the child’s heart My life, my love, but mostly love Thank you for being here and now Thank you for being you…

Warm nights Walls are windows Wide Gentle wind blows Over my skin Circulating Indian spices, home is Stubbed roach and rollies In my finest wine glass Rocks of ice Every night is Soft, unfocused Long contented sighs Every night is Long, unfocused Long contented sighs Every, every, every night is mine Every, every, every night is mine Every, every, every night is mine City air, city noise Summer bliss intoxicated joy Just like my mind Alive with A streaming of feelings and drive These evenings of diving and crashing and Blissfully feeling my place In the world Raat Ka Nasha Raat Ka Nasha Raat Ka Nasha Raat Ka Nasha Raat Ka Nasha Raat Ka Nasha Raat Ka Nasha Raat Ka Nasha Every, every, every night is mine Every, every, every night is mine Every, every, every night is mine Calm, chaos Chaos machine Machinery Rhythm Rhythm and blues kitchenettwork.. Coffe shop - ping basket - ball.. Calm, chaos machin - ery - thm.. Idelogically speaking, On behalf of.. Me? You! The panel has spoken, Solar panel - electricity Chaos machinery

about

This is my debut EP. I was originally planning to record an album but as I was recording the tracks, I noticed a distinct separation emerging between the songs and decided to split the album into 2 EP's instead. This is the first part. It is a bit darker, more atmospheric, more trip hop and more similar in style to my single from January, "Ranch House On A Hill".
