All recorded on Duxford Street in Paddington, Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains and Ocean Street in Edgecliff, Sydney 2018-2020
I'm happy to write that I've collaborated with my old friend Jesse Donald (Jay Squire) on track 14 of this album. The song is called Emanate From Emanations. We used to play guitar together a lot back at Art School and it was nice to strum together again with my old friend.
I hope you'll enjoy the relaxing, melancholic tunes on Lord of Circles. I found making this album very cathartic.
Lord of Circles can be listened to for free, or purchased at this link:
Wishing Will Not Help
Vestige Of What We Were
Eaten By Birds
Lord of Circles
Lyrics
~
Eaten By Birds
Some caterpillars become
Butterflies
Some caterpillars become
Eaten by birds
~
Wishing Will Not Help
Will I
Ever
See you again
And can I
Hold you
Once more
Before
The end
No
And wishing won't help that
I'd do anything
To go back in time
And be with you
I'm trapped with your ghost
In a photograph
And there's nothing I can do
~
Lord of Circles
I drift in a cold sea
Your hand written notes
Hang on ropes above me
I can not reach them
and I'll never read
About a future
Where you'll be
And I've got to live
With my regret now
And I've got to see
The journey through
And you'll always be
A part of me
And I'll miss you
So I'll move on
Reluctantly
The leaves on our tree
Have turned to brown
And they've fallen
To the ground
I don't want to leave
But I have to break free
Of this sad prison of memories
~
As I Wake
When the wind whistles through the chimes
I long for you
As I walk along the railway lines
I think of you
As I close my eyes
As I
Lie on the pipes
I dream of you
And then I sigh
As I wake
And have to face a life
That you escaped
~
That Glimpse of Truth
That glimpse of truth
I hate to see
Maybe you needed
To set me free
I was under
Your dark spell
A beautiful swamp
A comfortable hell
That glimpse of truth
I hate to see
Maybe you needed
To let me be
I was searching inside of you
Hallucinations
Where foolish hope once grew
~
The Hexe I Deserved
You cursed me with
A Hexe that I deserved
I hurt you
Now I'm pecked
By birds of regret
In sad dreams
When I see
What we
Could have been
~
Killing The Most Beautiful Thing I Ever Had
I killed the most beautiful thing
I ever had
We had our own little world
It's now turned to stone and sand
And I'm sad
~
Ketamine To Forget You
Ket
To
Forget
You
~
Vestige Of What We Were
We had a good thing
But I let it dissolve
Before my eyes
I watched you cry
I let you drown
I watched us slowly die
I sat in my chair
And I stared deep down
Into my glass pipe
I watched you cry
And I let you drown
I watched us slowly die
~
Life Is But A Fleeting Vapour
Life is
But a
Fleeting
Vapour
~
Year of Loss
All that I was
Is no more
A year of loss
Has ended
With a closed door
I became a shade
Of what I was
You took no pity
sitting coldly above
You wanted me
To destroy myself
And leave me
Forgotten
On an old shelf
One day I will walk to our waterfall
And remember that fine Sunday
When we had it all
Before us
It's now
Moss
And
Dust
