    ABOUT THIS ITEM:

    BODY OF WORK is a collection of singles I’ve released over the past 4 years.

    These songs were written from 2015-2020.

    From the moment my heart broke to the moment I felt truly healed of heartbreak.

    These songs explore themes of grief, self reclamation, strength and belonging.

    They are for anyone who has loved, had their heart broken, lost themselves in a relationship and courageously found their way back to loving again.

    So… pretty much everyone.

    We all love, we all grieve, we all need a place to belong.

Superhuman 03:16
LYRICS I was always keeping it safe Checking every step before I made it Lately I’ve been feeling more reckless Could it be from the machine in my chest Pounding out a rhythm I am superhuman I would always keep my head straight Till I found out all my parts were fading Take em off now turn them into light Shine em in your eyes doesn’t matter what you say I’m never going back I am superhuman And I’m never going back I am superhuman Ooo...Ohhh Ooo...Ohhh Stronger than I felt before Everything in me is rearranging Braver cause I now know what I’m here for No longer confused power to diffuse circuits running fast now I am superhuman And I’m never going back I am superhuman Ooo...Ohhh There are so many things inside my head Patterns running deep I can’t get no sleep Gotta find a way to reprogram my heart Happens every time I go to bed Pictures from my past coming thick and fast Only way to break the cycle is to run as hard as I hard as I can I am superhuman I am superhuman I am superhuman I am superhuman I am superhuman

Lie Low 04:28
LYRICS At first we were so close it felt like your success was mine Didn’t factor in the risk of hiding in your light They told me love’s a sacrifice Shrunk my ambition small Became the least important half of a slowly dying whole I let Myself Lie low Be less Slowly waking up I've been cocooned and insecure Shed beliefs about myself I now know just aren’t true My lonely foot falls twice the weight of light steps by your side What I did for you Now I do in spite I let Myself Lie low Be less Be less Be less Be less No!! No I won’t hold it in No I won’t Won’t bow out now for anything

LYRICS Restless hands raking your jeans I don’t wanna know what this means Honest words got you chocking Say you’re leaving Are you joking So move out if you have doubts I won’t stay here in this house You’re plans all you care about Your endless need emptied me out All my fiends ask if I’d ever go back to you I held on so long that I became the fool I loved you so long but I’m never going back to you How’d I get so lost in you Let myself become the fool Up late cleaning Out at shows Hide the hurt I can’t un-know Text me if he’s in the paper Don’t wanna know if he’s ok I’ll move out Disown my doubt I won’t stay here in this house My plans all I care about I’m finally free to say it All my fiends ask if I’d ever go back to you I held on so long that I became the fool I loved you so long but I’m never going back to you How’d I get so lost in you Let myself become the fool

The Fall 03:44
LYRICS I wish you had told me I was holding on too tight All I ever wanted was to love you all my life You asked me to let you go but I am so afraid to fall Out of love with you, what else can I do Cause we can’t go back to the (start) So I’ve found myself suspended here in the clouds Bracing for breakdown, when I touch down, I’ll hear the sound Ohhhh oh oh I wish you had told me Ohhhh oh oh I wish you had told me I was holding on too tight All I ever wanted was to love you all my life You asked me to let you go but I am so afraid to fall Out of love with you, what else can I do Cause we can’t go back to the (start) Memories of what we had can’t soothe me now can’t overwrite The love that I still feel and all the hurt, they collide Ohhhh oh oh I wish you had told me Ohhhh oh oh I wish you had told me I was holding on too tight All I ever wanted was to love you all my life You asked me to let you go but I am so afraid to fall Out of love with you, what else can I do Cause we can’t go back to the (start)

LYRICS You are wandering Far from home Searching for courage To let your feelings known And I am waiting here As patient as a stone But you’re not ready Ready to be alone Oh you really need to find yourself Out there Oh you really need to ask yourself What do you fear Cause you can’t keep waiting For me to let you go You are wondering What will happen to your home How will you divide My life from your own Oh you really need to find yourself Out there - You were already here Oh you really need to ask yourself What do you fear - There’s no need, no need to fear I’m already here I’m already here And I can’t keep waiting No I can’t keep waiting No I can’t keep waiting It’s time to let you go

Diamond 03:32
LYRICS The dust has settled on my oldest love Remember how you won and lost my trust I let it lie I won’t pick up the phone Now I am resolute as stone I’ll bury my love now The pressure of time will turn this Stone to a diamond To a diamond To a diamond I wonder what it’s like to fill with light Become the alchemist, love requite I let it lie I walk the mines alone Now I am resolute as stone I’ll bury my love now The pressure of time will turn this Stone to a diamond To a diamond To a diamond

LYRICS It isn't time that pins you here The sunlight whispers in your ear As we look up the soil is red Silver eyes the needles thread Oh a million suns Our restless candle lights us Back to where the dark comes from Red kisses on our faces The hollow breathe delays the thought As we look up at restless caught She holds it in her tiny hand And asks the moon to understand Oh a million suns Our restless candle lights us Back to where the dark comes from Red kisses on our faces Oh a million suns Our restless candle lights us Back to where the dark comes from Red kisses on our faces
