lyrics

Stuck still
At home again
My will
Crumbles to idleness and fear
Potential
Just wastes away in my hands
A wormhole
Of my very own design

Faced with borders
My feet rooted
Planted in the quagmire
Of self doubt

Observing the clock
Passively thwarting the plans I'd made
To seek out catharsis
A life as an emotional masochist paralysed
Often feels circular
Chasing my tail like a hapless pup
Thrust into darkness
Intentions in perpetual dormancy upon my wall
Tomorrow it never comes

Sharp Relief
by Sam Hanlan

Sam is an enormous part of my sound - without him I'd be nowhere. Don't miss out on his debut solo EP, it's absolutely outstanding. Calum Pratt
