V1/ Oh I’m just not so sure Oh can you grab the door Your clothes on the floor My flaws how they gnaw V2/ It’s nothing personal I can’t ever give my all But I have built these walls I try to climb but fall Chorus/ Don’t be gentle, darling I’ve got no handle I’m, I’m a vandle Don’t, be gentle V3/ I was clueless to think You’d give up so easily Stubborn love you’ll soon see All these scars that I’ve hid Chorus/ Don’t be gentle, darling I’ve got no handle I’m, I’m a vandle Don’t, be gentle

V1/ As brittle as these bones I bear A silent smile to hide my cares I am the moon, alone in the stars It is my curse to bear this heart Chorus 1/ It’s selfish, it’s love There’s ash in these lungs The lion, post-dove Your taste on my tongue V2/ Autumn leaves fall, with velvet grace Unlike these thoughts I’ve locked in space I build up my walls, to hide my hell There are no doors, to this cell Chorus 2/ It’s selfish, it’s love There’s ash in these lungs The lion, post-dove My conscious, is strung It’s selfish, it’s love There’s ash in these lungs The lion, post-dove Your taste on my tongue

It has been so long, Since I’ve been home I’m trying to right all my wrongs, But this won’t leave me alone Break me down, I come undone How could I have caused this harm?

V1/ I've been waking in the night And you're not there by my side And I wonder what went wrong Was it something I said or done? C1/ And I don't know what this means But it's over so it seems V2/ And oh if I could turn back time Would things change or could we make it right? So you go your way, I'll go mine And I'll see you one day down the line C2/ And I'm breaking at the seams Someone wake me from this dream Bridge/ I know everything will be fine But right now, just wanna stay inside I know everything will be fine But right now, just wanna stay inside

Isolation 05:33
V1/ Isolation is where I find the puzzle pieces of my mind When theres too, many heartbeats My gaze quickly finds my feet Like a stranger, in these bones My solitude is my home V2/ Do you ever feel like an island? Drifting away, ever so silent Happiness and his counterpart Way heavy on my heart I shrewdly wear this forced facade It's a sleeve to hide my cards Bridge/ Take me through the night I long to be free It always feels alright When it's you and me

about

Completely self recorded, produced, and mixed, in my small bedroom with two microphones and a wardrobe as a vocal booth, my second EP ‘Brittle Bones’ is finally finished.

An honest and raw collection of songs close to my heart, this EP will always hold a special place to me.
