Tired Again 03:52
Lyrics: Oh I’m tired again But I don’t wanna talk anymore And I’m fading away Oh I’ve fallen again Time to climb to the top once more And I feel so alone I’ve been drifting away From the things that I know And people I Love But I promise I’ll be ok Oh I’m tired of being down And I’m done with giving out I just need to wake up And see that this is not enough Oh I’m tired of being down And I’m done with giving out I just need to wake up And see that this is not enough

After Dark 04:16
Lyrics: After dark, on Princes Street Troubled hearts and weary feet Careful words and shaking hands Honest eyes, she's the world by my side Can you tell me why? why can I not breathe? Can you tell me why? why can I not see? Walk with me, down empty streets Stay a while and sit with me Hold me close, don't give up on me I'm losing hope, I can't find myself Can you tell me why? why can I not breathe? Can you tell me why? why can I not see? Can you tell me why? why can I not breathe? Can you tell me why? why can I not see? After dark, on Princes Street Troubled hearts and weary feet

Lyrics: We’ve been stranded here before These eyes are planted on the floor If could just out the words And feel the pain for what it was It’s a closed system and I'm on the outside You’re in cold water and it makes me wanna cry I’ve never thought the whole way through Just let it pile up at the door Isn’t it easier to push it out of site And let the lassitude ensue It’s a closed system and I'm on the outside You’re in cold water and it makes me wanna cry It’s a closed system and I'm on the outside You’re in cold water and it makes me wanna cry

Grey 02:45
I’m feeling grey, I see the heartbreak on its way, I’m in the shade and I don’t care what you have to say. And I’m trying to find out what this means but I can’t drown out the noise If I just find the switch to shut this down and give us all a little space I’m feeling grey, I see the heartbreak on its way, I’m in the shade and I don’t care what you have to say And I’m trying to find out what this means but I can’t drown out the noise If I just find the switch to shut this down and give us all a little space I’m feeling grey, I see the heartbreak on its way, I’m in the shade and I don’t care what you have to say And I’m trying to find out what this means but I can’t drown out the noise If I just find the switch to shut this down and give us all a little space

Sorry 04:50
Lyrics: I’ve been searching For so very long And I’ve been hurting But never alone I’ve been searching For so very long And I’ve been hurting But never alone Did I read it right Or am I just wrong Am I still the same Will I ever learn Oh I’m sorry I tried to make do with my old ways And I’m trying To get this plane up off the runway Now I’m learning From things I got wrong But everthings burning Are we too far gone Can we see the light that shines from above Are we all the same Will we ever learn And I’m sorry for all the times I got in my own way And I’m trying to learn what I can from my mistake Oh I’m sorry Yes I’m sorry Oh I’m sorry Yes I’m sorry Oh I’m sorry I tried to make do with my old ways I’m still trying To get this plane up off the runway

about

A rare combination of indie rock, shoegaze and electronic music, with a range of influences to create the unique sound of this EP. A curious mix of Radiohead, Mercury Rev, and Talos infused with a singer/songwriter style of music.
Musically, the EP, “Closed System”, often conveys overwhelming emotions of loss and longing with hard hitting drums and lush, wide soundscapes. This, for the most part, goes hand in hand with the subject matter of the EP, being a search for identity and a longing for answers.
