Without her I’m a little cold outside Without her I’m a little cold outside ... Facing backwards I don’t know where I’m going ohh I don’t know where to go in the noise you want me back ( I’m a little cold outside, I’m a little cold outside ) you want me back ...

I Tried 03:14
Pieces of myself scattered on the floor I had never seen some of them before and I tried, and I tried Been telling myself who I need to be I’m running out of lies, running out of steam and I tried, and I tried I have got a pocket full of dreams I sew Bursting at the seams, I let them go and I tried, for you ohh ... Pieces of myself scattered on the floor I had never seen some of them before

Take me back, rewind before I left you at the starting line am I here ooh, loved by you its a bittersweet memory its coloured my sight Wheres my, polkadots n moonbeams cherry flavoured icecream? mmm Disappointment, and making it quite right though sometimes the bark is worse than the bite is this just a dream, just a dream, just a dream or have I broken are there pink clouds in the sky I’m sorry I'm dreaming of polkadots n moonbeams cherry flavoured ice-cream mmm Facing backwards I can see it the angels dance and stare for a minute I fly to the moon

I'm Fine 02:56
I’m fine fine there's nothing on my mind I’m fine I’m fine fine there's nothing on my mind I’m fine Got stuck on the moon I said I’m fine I got stuck on the moon I said I’m fine and I swear I’m not thinking of you I’d win if there was something to loose In this presence of impending doom, I choose .... I got nothing to loose I said I’m fine I got nothing to prove I said I’m fine and as everything is sinking in I see everything that could’ve been like knowing where we all stand was it according to plan? ...

I cant be the one, to teach you I can barley keep myself together oh I’m just painting I pencil you in when the sky is grey not another one, I cant do it no, not another one, I cant beat this no, not another one, I cant be there no, not another one, I cant feel you oh, can I hold this embrace gone with a whisper, but the feeling remains and theres no sense of time and space when our voice fade but the vision plays not another one, I cant be there no, not another one, I cant beat this not another one, I cant do it no, not another one, ‘nother one ... I wanna go downtown I wanna go downtown mmm I wanna go downtown downtown
7.
... Awaken unspoken behind eyes unwinding ... I’m floating unstoppable still fighting and here I stand, in awe of all I have lost its weighing on my heart shatters its all falls apart we were looking for some time in fighting the close of your eyes held captive in your mind

about

My new EP Shattered Glass is very much about mental health. It represents a journey of the emotional toll the pandemic has on youth and young adults in relation to perception. Perception of their relationships with others, themselves, and their view of reality.
The first track of Shattered Glass begins with a blend of real and synthesized instruments all mixed together representing the beginning of a loss of clarity. Next the listener is taken through various dreamy and emotive tracks that each represent a different mindset. Disappointment, melancholy, grief, disbelief, and longing. The final track shatters the haze of emotional turmoil and we are hit with clarity. The sound of a pure grand piano and acoustic instruments awaken the listener from a dream, and bring to light true reality.
