Jay Squire plays guitar with me on Track 14

All recorded on Duxford Street in Paddington, Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains and Ocean Street in Edgecliff, Sydney 2018-2020

I'm happy to write that I've collaborated with my old friend Jesse Donald (Jay Squire) on track 14 of this album. The song is called Emanate From Emanations. We used to play guitar together a lot back at Art School and it was nice to strum together again with my old friend.

I hope you'll enjoy the relaxing, melancholic tunes on Lord of Circles. I found making this album very cathartic. 

Lord of Circles can be listened to for free, or purchased at this link:

Lyrics

~

Eaten By Birds

Some caterpillars become

Butterflies

Some caterpillars become

Eaten by birds

~

Wishing Will Not Help

Will I

Ever

See you again

And can I

Hold you

Once more 

Before

The end

No

And wishing won't help that

I'd do anything

To go back in time

And be with you

I'm trapped with your ghost

In a photograph

And there's nothing I can do

~

Lord of Circles

I drift in a cold sea

Your hand written notes

Hang on ropes above me

I can not reach them

and I'll never read

About a future

Where you'll be

And I've got to live

With my regret now

And I've got to see

The journey through

And you'll always be

A part of me

And I'll miss you

So I'll move on

Reluctantly

The leaves on our tree

Have turned to brown

And they've fallen

To the ground

I don't want to leave

But I have to break free

Of this sad prison of memories

~

As I Wake

When the wind whistles through the chimes

I long for you

As I walk along the railway lines

I think of you

As I close my eyes 

As I

Lie on the pipes

I dream of you

And then I sigh

As I wake

And have to face a life

That you escaped

~

That Glimpse of Truth

That glimpse of truth

I hate to see

Maybe you needed

To set me free

I was under 

Your dark spell

A beautiful swamp

A comfortable hell

That glimpse of truth

I hate to see

Maybe you needed

To let me be

I was searching inside of you

Hallucinations

Where foolish hope once grew

~

The Hexe I Deserved

You cursed me with

A Hexe that I deserved

I hurt you

Now I'm pecked

By birds of regret

In sad dreams

When I see

What we

Could have been

~

Killing The Most Beautiful Thing I Ever Had

I killed the most beautiful thing

I ever had

We had our own little world

It's now turned to stone and sand

And I'm sad

~

Ketamine To Forget You

Ket

To

Forget

You

~

Vestige Of What We Were

We had a good thing

But I let it dissolve

Before my eyes

I watched you cry

I let you drown

I watched us slowly die

I sat in my chair

And I stared deep down

Into my glass pipe

I watched you cry

And I let you drown

I watched us slowly die

~

Life Is But A Fleeting Vapour

Life is

But a

Fleeting

Vapour

~

Year of Loss

All that I was 

Is no more

A year of loss

Has ended

With a closed door

I became a shade

Of what I was

You took no pity

sitting coldly above

You wanted me 

To destroy myself

And leave me

Forgotten

On an old shelf

One day I will walk to our waterfall

And remember that fine Sunday

When we had it all

Before us

It's now 

Moss

And 

Dust
