Self Doubt 04:07
In the dark of night, you creep inside Plant your seed inside my head Cycling thoughts, they twist within my cells I can’t free myself Taking root within that part of me They seek the cracks of doubt within Question if I’m good enough for me Fracturing Feel the doubt Feed the doubt Fight the doubt Why can’t I let it lie? Overthinking I Why can’t I let it lie? Overthinking I Waves of confidence and lulls of faith A little tired of the ride Weight of the odds, magnified by the pace They pull me inside Woken insecurities slowly rise Question if I’m good enough for me Paralyse Feel the doubt Feed the doubt Fight the doubt Why can’t I let it lie? Overthinking I Why can’t I let it lie? Overthinking I

Reminded 06:16
Oh, when you’re reminded of our love How does it feel to you now? How does it feel to you? Oh, when you’re reminded of our love How does it to feel to you now? How does it feel to you? I wonder I care I wonder Do your lips recall the trace of mine? Does the taste linger sweet? Or bitter from love’s retreat? Has time blurred what we once had? With sentimentality? Or is that just me? I wonder I care I wonder Although we didn’t stand the test of time So grateful for all the love we shared Unravelled now, what once was intertwined Stitched into life anew Our story woven deep into my soul Remembered, not with bitterness, but joy Remembered with joy Remembered Oh, when you’re reminded of our love How does it feel to you now? How does it feel to you? I wonder I care I wonder I wonder I care I wonder Although we didn’t stand the test of time So grateful for all the love we shared Unravelled now, what once was intertwined Stitched into life anew Our story woven deep into my soul Remembered, not with bitterness, but joy Remembered with joy Remembered

Always you that comes to mind when I need insight, Knowing me like you do You’re the one I think to call, to share it all To laugh and talk and cry and hold in silence Please don’t let this change Please don’t let this change Cherish even the mundane, everything must change Nothing promised, I treasure you Knowing that you feel the same, reassured that I belong You’re part of me Find myself in you Please don’t let this change Please don’t let this change I don’t want to be without you Need you, I pray, I pray you will stay And never go away Oh, please don’t let this change Cold seasons come and go The winters of fate It’s always warm when you’re close Stay I don’t want to be here without you by my side Want you near me Here by my side Please don’t let this change Oh, don’t let this change

Be my shelter from the storm Be my shelter from the storm Hold me tight in your warmth Be my shelter from the storm Be my shelter from the storm In the solace of your calm Anchor me here Spiritual heal Gift inner peace Belief, a sanctuary Allow me to fulfil my role By feeding my soul Granting me the balance, the confidence, the energy that I need Within, find it Within, find it Within, find it Within, find me Be my shelter Be my shelter

Safe With Me 03:58
I see you I see you Though you try not to show I feel you Are you alright? Are you alright? Standing guard, you won’t let go Shield your heart, you won’t let go Feel these arms around you close Shield your heart I won’t let go Feel these arms around you close Shield your heart I won’t let go Won’t let go, I won’t let go Won’t let go, I won’t let go Won’t let go, I won’t Won’t let go I feel you Gentle soul, I will protect you Your tender heart is safe with me Say the word, I will protect you Hold you close, I won’t let go Gentle soul, I will protect you Your tender heart is safe with me Say the word, I will protect you Hold you close, I won’t let go I won’t let go I feel you I won’t let go I feel you I won’t let go I feel you I won’t let go I feel

Can’t you tell trouble’s brewing here? Can’t you feel, can’t you feel it changing here? Where is it? What have you done with it? Bring it back, bring It back, I need him here I, I, I need him here I, I, I need him here Gentle souled, innocence stripped Holding back Hold him back! For fear of it Avert your eyes Raise your hands Fear will keep you alive Raise your hands Bitter hate Brewing bitter boy Oh, my boy Oh, my boy Don’t talk Don’t talk back Avert your eyes Raise your hands Fear will keep you alive I, I, I need him here I, I, I need him here I, I, I need him here I, I, I need him here I, I, I need him here I, I, I need him here I, I, I need him here Oh, my boy O, my boy

Be Still 04:52
Be still, my beating heart Pray you don’t betray this cooled exterior Scaffolded, I stand before you Be still, my beating heart Dare you show me your desire? Bathe me in the heat of barest honesty Vulnerable, I stand before you Standest though vulnerable before me? Be still, my beating heart Pray you don’t betray this cooled exterior Scaffolded, I stand, I stand before you Be still, my beating heart Be still Be still Be still Be still Reservations, cast aside Experience weighted, deny Surrender to we Surrender

Golden Seams 07:00
The beauty that you seek’s Within what makes you unique It’s experience’s call See, the greatest feat of all Is the rise after the fall The rebuilding of a soul Vulnerable humanity Affected by all that you see The essence, the empathy The impermanence, the change What you lost along the way And what you gained And what you gained So why hide away from living? Why hold back from giving? Welcoming? What is broken can be whole The rebuilding of a soul Rebuilding of soul The rebuilding of a soul Of a soul Don’t be shy to show with pride The mark of what you have repaired Golden seams will trace the dreams Resilient to fragility and wear Resurrected, imperfected Embrace beauty in your strength Cherish blemishes testament to a history accepted History accepted Don’t be shy to show with pride The mark of what you have repaired Golden seams will trace the dreams Resilient to fragility and wear Resurrected, imperfected Embrace beauty in your strength Cherish blemishes testament to a history accepted Golden Seams Golden Golden Seams trace your dreams Golden Seams embrace your dreams Golden Seams trace your dreams Golden Seams embrace your dreams Resurrected, imperfected Embracing beauty in your strength Golden Seams Golden Seams
