Echoes 03:33
lyrics
buy track
In the dark, I'm still here Constantly staring through tainted glass Looking back at a past that's now long gone Even after all this time, I'm still clinging on to false hope that one day you'll come back, and we can somehow reconcile I've never been that good at letting go I'm still haunted by our final encounter After so long in limbo, I thought I'd finally get some closure But seeing your face brought me right back And it almost felt like we'd never been apart, Surrounded by echoes of what we once were The needlework holding my heart in place came undone And my wounds burst at the seams Seeing you again was so much harder than when we first parted ways, since all it did was provide me with a painful reminder of everything we left behind I had to fight back tears during our final goodbye since it was transparently clear that we'd never have that time again I was glad to see that you're doing well, but now I'm left with a vacuum that I'm not sure I can ever truly fill Will I ever make sense of this? As I'm not closer to understanding the coroner's report Now it's almost as if you were never even here, and all these songs hit way too close to home I'm so sick of waking up alone and longing for your presence to soothe me

Cracks 02:07
lyrics
buy track
After we went our separate ways, I told myself I wouldn't let this be the end of me Yet here I am, trying to keep myself together as my bones begin to crack carrying the weight left by your absence "Things get better" At least that's what they say If that were true, how comes I'm still such a broken fucking mess? Maybe I'm just weak Not strong enough to see this through For every step I take towards stability, I take another ten steps back I've regressed to the way I was before Constant fluctuation between euphoria and belittlement I thought I'd finally reached the shore, but I've been taken back by the waves Perhaps I should just accept that I'm too far gone?

Silhouette 03:32
lyrics
buy track
It's been a while now, and I still find myself searching for answers I'll never receive Still trying to figure out why we fell apart, and wondering if I ever cross your mind Maybe I should have been more assertive And not let my fear of losing you tear us apart And I can't help but blame myself As I can't seem to stop making the same mistakes I wasn't prepared to say goodbye What's the use of escaping if you just end up where you started? Love is the one thing I can never quite get right But it's also the one thing that I crave the most Will I always be stuck here? Forever haunted by the memories of your silhouette, and never letting go What if I'm just meant for solitude, as how can I fill this void you've left with someone who isn't you?

Tapestry 04:12
lyrics
buy track
A meadow lies beyond this field of thorns Although my feet are bleeding, I've already come this far Stuck between two chapters I can't progress while reading the same old pages I may never get the answers But I'm done with asking these questions The mist is starting to clear My journey's reaching it's end And while my scars may never truly fade They've become part of my tapestry Swimming round in circles only to end up where I started And get engulfed by the waves As the storm begins to calm, I see a light in the distance Showing me the exit No longer floating aimlessly Hoping to someday reach the shore I won't let the ocean become my home

about

Four aggressive, emotional songs written around April/May 2018. This EP served as a way to process a personal tragedy, and it's existence is testament to the fact that even the most terrible hardships can lead to something worthwhile.

Echoes is about trying to make sense of things in the fallout of a past relationship, detailing the experience of a final bittersweet encounter with a former lover and the surreal nature of feeling as if you never parted ways to begin with.

Cracks is about trying to persevere in the aftermath of a breakup, but being unsure if you have the strength capable to make it through to the other side.

Silhouette is about examining the relationship and a break up as a whole and trying to figure out what went wrong and how you could have prevented things from ending the way they did, also contemplating if you'll always be stuck in a continuous cycle of being haunted by an idealised version of the relationship and the person rather than everything within it, including the bad.

Tapestry is, much like Cracks, about persevering through adversity, albeit with a much more optimistic outlook. It's about letting go and taking the initiative to find a way out of the situation rather than waiting in hope for things to improve, and how the experience helps you to grow and become a better person.

Recorded in Thamesmead in July 2018.
