Hey little bird outside my window. How's this city keepin' you? No more family no more ties. This city if nothing else will let you fly. I'm not sure if I know the real you, or if. All I know is what you want me to. Hey little bird, how are you? How is time way up high in the sky blue? I'm not sure if I know the real you, or if. All this time you knew what I knew, did you? Hey there little birdie, how are you? One day you'll get your dream and fly, fly, fly the coop. No more family no more ties. This city if nothing else will let you fly. Hey little birdie, how are you? How is time way up high in the sky blue?

All my life I've been told the same. It's very hard to be so brave. Please do your best to change your ways. What do you know todays the day. All my days I've been shown the way. Until I grew now I'm afraid. Afraid of what I wasn't shown. But what do you know todays my own. And I know the tides will change another day. I know I still got to try and change them anyway. I know that how we pray will never change, but. I'm still waiting on that day. All my life I've been told the same. Stick to the path I've paved the way. Followed through so blind and true. Get to the end and you realise that you were used. All my days I've been shown the same. Life ain't cheap at its going rate. Keep my cards close to me, cause. Reality is bitter sweet. And I know the tides will change another day. I know I still got to try and change them anyway. I know that how we pray will never change, but. I'm still waiting on that day. Im still waiting. Im still waiting.

idios kosmos 04:29
Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Nothing ahead I haven't seen before. I can tell. Dry eyes and feeling well. Had my chin up once before it didn't end well. Bite the bullet, break a leg. Gotta get my shit in order, gotta keep my head Cutting corners gets out of hand. Until you find yourself in a foreign trance, in a foreign land. A penny saved is a penny earned. So let's get to spending, the time is winding. Time flies when you're having fun. Well not today because it seems to me that I'm the only one. But your guess is as good as mine. Let's not spend ourselves or even our time. Off the hook, hit the sack. Go get my skins gotta roll one fast. Then I'll take you home back to nowhere. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Every cloud I've found lets me down. And every line you cross just goes round and round. Slow and steady wins the race. Save up for a rainy day and keep the ace. Live and learn, and learn as I live. Tried for far too long got no more left to give. But come rain or shine I hope you're mine. Burnt that bridge in front of all divines. Go down in flames get up again. But I can't give up now. Gotta let those sleeping dogs lie down. Then I'll take you home back to nowhere. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Every cloud I've found lets me down. And every line you cross just goes round and round. I've made it here way above the clouds. The silver lines they never shine like you talked about. I want down, let me down. I've made it here way above the clouds. They're not as light and not as fluffy as you talked about. I want down, let me down. Then I'll take you home back to nowhere. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Every cloud I've found lets me down. And every line you cross just goes round and round.

about

I had a lot of fun writing each track for this EP. I wanted to be a lot more personal and insightful with how I see the world and myself. I have tried to be a lot more personal and honest in my writing and I do feel this is my best work so far. It is for my family and for my friends. I hope you enjoy :)
