Orange Pekoe (For A Season) Days grew shorter welcoming the autumn frost Crunching leaves under feet, summer disappears like rain Colours fading fast Nothing in life is a waste It happens for a season, for a change When time seems to take its toll Believe in a future of difference Fate brought us somewhere once to realize something more Paths are drawn on a map, a life that you call your own Have to make it last Days grew shorter Rain falls faster Paths made straighter Dreaming longer

Crab Apple Trees (free) 04:13
Crab Apple Trees Rain on my windowpane Cuppa soup and noodles, changing my perspective I wait for the sun Everlasting glow of liquid sunshine on the ground They say that April showers are meant to bring May flowers But they always wilt and blow away Into another season Another reason to say Not Today The storm has come and gone Stirred things up, cast me aside, I have come undone I wait for sun Everlasting glow of liquid sunshine on the ground The dawn is near One thing is clear It’s brighter there It’s brighter there The worst has passed The worst is over They say that April showers are meant to bring May flowers But they always wilt and blow away Into another season Another reason to say Maybe today

Sleep Well 04:00
Sleep Well My first fear is falling Insecurities drown my conscience Just need a release From this dream of recurrence Acknowledge your fear In a strange fantasy It seems so real to me But I can’t make sense of its direction I’m powerless in fighting frustration Collecting teeth from my gleaming smile I know its hard to hear me but you’re not listing Anxiety, I’m losing control Just need a release From this dream of recurrence Challenge conflicting selves In slow motion It’s a lack of control Forced to let go

Kansas City shuffle I am dull and lifeless Times can be so reckless here There is nothing for me Only mundane memories Freedom reigns within us Music then will change us Lifting us far from reality I need a different place Watch through an unknown face Shaping my point of view My story consumes me Breaking ties that fight to see Watch myself from outside I’m so far from who I am

Sequins 06:17
Sequins Sequins on a gown Swam feather down It’s the little things that amuse me Like the time we share doing nothing at all I breathe with you in unison Dance around the room, all I see is you Her anger makes me smile, makes it all worthwhile Travel the world, sitting on a chair Sand beneath my feet, cloudless sky above Stare up at the sky, choose the brightest starts Laying on the ground, look at how they glow Forts all make of snow, and although The cold is creeping in, I will keep you warm Sailing in a sleeping sea Fishing for a dream Moonbeams come to greet me We’ll paint pictures in the clouds
