Purple Road
About
My debut EP, take a stroll down the Purple Road with me…
Lyrics:
Sinking
I let go of what I used to know
And I'm slowly sinking in
I'm fading into you
I'm fading like the moon
Your eyes like stars are twinkling
And I'm slowly sinking in
Your arms are wrapped around my bones
If you don’t want me let me go
I’m sliding down to you
There’s nothing I can do but wait
As the water closes in
I'm tumbling under you
I'm stumbling into your walls
And I feel you on my skin
As the water closes in
Your arms are wrapped around my bones
If you don’t want me let me go
And you, you’ve caught me in your trap
If you don’t want me put me back
I’ve fallen into you
I've forgotten what I used to know
And I'm slowly sinking in
I'm slowly sinking in
Nobody Knows
The surface flat like wine
Biding your time
And counting your knives
Yet, you mean me no harm?
Mean me know harm
Nobody knows how I go
Catching my tears on my toes
Nobody knows how I go
Nobody knows how I go
A blossom brief
Reflecting my memory
Wearing me thin
ver everything
Unlike you I do forgive
Unlike you I do forgive
Nobody knows how I go
Catching my tears on my toes
Nobody knows how I go
Nobody knows how I go
I’m up at last
Holding on to my reverie
Did I mess up my mind?
Did I waste all that life?
Nobody knows how I go
Catching my tears on my toes
Laughing with lumps in my throat
Wearing my wounds every show
Nobody knows how I go
Catching my tears on my toes
Nobody knows how I go
Nobody knows how I go
Nobody knows how I go
Nobody knows how I go
Fool
When you’ve been played
Waiting for a window to close
Enough is enough
I've tangled with your ‘love’
I don’t wanna play the fool anymore
Crutches
Watching the fireflies
Dip and dive
Wondering how I got these scars
The furrows feel like
Canyons and craters
I want to climb (out)
But the water comes
And I feel it all
Filling up my lungs
Heading down the purple road
Picking up all the pieces
I want to hold
Leaving bits of me behind
As I go
I know I could stop
But I won’t
When I say I want it
I want to beat it
I've got to feed it
I can’t not need it
Everyone I know is on their own
Staring silhouettes of people I've outgrown
I've been holding on too tight
Watching every dying light
Dance around my mind
Asking how I got to be
So hollow and tied
To a dream so slight
It could never keep me dry
So the water comes
And I feel it all
Filling up my lungs
When I say I want it
I want to beat it
I've got to feed it
I can’t not need it
Everyone I know is
On their own two feet
And I've tried to heal
But I just can’t keep it
When I say I want it
I want to beat it
I've got to feed it
I can’t not need it
Even if I could
I'm on my own
So the water comes
And I feel it all
Filling up my lungs
What you Gonna Do
I'm not gonna change for you
Sure as the apple falls
I'm not gonna grow for you
What are you gonna do?
I'm not gonna shave for you
I'm not gonna pray for you
Sure as the sun sets
I'm not gonna wait for you
What are you gonna do?
You or Nothing
Then hang me out to dry
You may learn some day
It’s not about the time
Wrap me up
Lay flowers by my side
Icy depths
Waiting open wide
Oh I’ll be loving you or nothing
Still the voices
Inside this addled mind
Still this heart
And leave the pain behind
Oh I’ll be loving you or nothing
Oh I’ll be loving you or nothing
Instrumental
Oh I’ll be loving you or nothing
Oh I’ll be loving you or nothing
Lift me up
And hang me out to dry
Wrap me up
Lay flowers by my side
Gather round
See me where I lie
Oh I’ll be loving you or nothing
Oh I’ll be loving you or nothing
Willow
I sing and spin my name
And draw circles
With my toes
When the clouds part
Revealing what was dark
Still spinning
As the stars burn echoes in the sky
Don't weep for me, Willow
In the dawnlight
And through the morning mist
I feel the softest tears
Fall heavy as the dew
Don't weep for me, Willow
Shh now, don't cry
We're here
All around you is so much hope and love
One day you'll be grown
And everything will be beautiful
And you'll fill the world with love
Don't weep for me, Willow
