Fighting With A Mirror 02:55
lyrics

V1: Shave your legs and cut your hair it’s only natural to care Pick your skin and make your eyebrows thin this is what we do Fit the box, smooth your edges we don’t want no curvy crookedness does anybody else think thats messed up CH: Fighting with a mirror Fighting with an image Fighting with another about how pretty I am When you stare deep down Is it all clear now Nothing good comes from comparison Ah’s V2: Vulnerable As the lines get tighter A contour a colour a face with a smile drawn on would it help to fill the gaps We supposedly have Fuck it it sucks to carry a mask to want it all off but it’s never enough Why don’t we stop we push and we prode I want it all gone why we don’t stop Fighting with a mirror Fighting with an image Fighting with another about how pretty I am When you stare deep down Is it all clear now Nothing good comes from comparison Ah’s Nothing good comes from comparison In my head I say goodbye to it (repeat) (Over the ahs)

Under-Deeper 04:01

All the little stuff soon weighs a ton, It stacks up, it stacks up, Too much to handle on my own, It Over-flows, it over-flows, Racing heart, sweaty palms, Sharp stab in my lungs, I go under, Under-deeper, Down in the valley, I go under-water, I go under, Under-deeper, Down in the valley, I go under-water, Switch the pressure off wish I could, It builds up, it builds up, Receiving mostly doubt, interferes, It overrides, my state of mind, Racing heart, sweaty palms, Sharp stab in my lungs, I go under, Under-deeper, Down in the valley, I go under-water, Down in the valley, I go under-water Panic-striken, sirens screaming, Restless thinking, body’s frozen Down in the valley, down in the valley Down in the valley, down in the valley, Blurry vision, silently bleed, I need you to resuscitate me, Down in the valley, down in the valley, Down in the valley, Down in the valley, Racing heart, sweaty palms, Sharp stab in my lungs, I go under, Under-deeper, Down in the valley, I go under-water, Down in the valley, I go under-water, I go under (I go down) Under-deeper (see me sliding) I go under (Drag me down) Under-deeper I go under Under-deeper I go under Under-deeper Under-deeper, Under-deeper

Black Swan 04:07
lyrics

I acquainted myself with a double-edged sword sharpened on my skin the most unlawful win was yours Mercy is for the weak you said Ego filled like my bath- tub at 3am trying to wash off your stench Two-faced criminal Killed me subliminally Too late to realise the weeds you planted inside You're a black swan in a black pond I'm swimming far from I was blinded I'm relighting My fire in the sky Casting shadows as you pass Causing riots in you path, Tinted glass is transparent at last You can paint a coward gold, Dress em up in the nicest clothes, I'm not sold if the truth isn't home No I’m not sold no no no no no no no If the truth isn’t home You're a black swan in a black pond I'm swimming far from I was blinded I'm relighting My fire in the sky Wearing all the weather now I’m feeling better, Dance with pain don’t let it stay, Stare it in the face call it by name, You can reach out and say I’m not okay, Cause I’m finding my faith, Get back to the place where the darkness fades, You're a black swan in a black pond I'm swimming far from I was blinded I'm relighting My fire in the sky You're a black swan in a black pond I'm swimming far from I was blinded I'm relighting My fire in the sky My fire in the sky Baby don’t you do me wrong I’ll start my fire

Oh I loved you more than I loved me I did not see my own beauty Without you around I was unhappy Cause I was not healthy I saw you as a king I was falling at your feet I thought you were a god Towering up above me I never saw your faults I was dancing in the dirt I thought you were the greatest thing to walk the earth How silly could I be To put you before me I would’ve died to keep you alive You meant more to me than life But I feel sorry for the old me I was not healthy I saw you as a king I was falling at your feet I thought you were a god Towering up above me I never saw your faults I was dancing in the dirt I thought you were the greatest thing to walk the earth It’s automatic you were a habit I’m letting go I am the magic Without your tragic oh oh If this is a pattern Then I wanna scrap it It’s time to go Cause I am the magic I saw you as a king I was falling at your feet I thought you were a god Towering up above me I never saw your faults I was dancing in the dirt I thought you were the greatest thing to walk the earth I saw you as a king I was falling at your feet I thought you were a god Towering up above me I never saw your faults I was dancing in the dirt I thought you were the greatest man to walk the earth How silly could I be To put you before me (you Before me) How silly could I be To put you before me (you Before me) How silly could I be To put you before me

Keep Walking 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Running from cold shadows, They chase you up and down,
 they know you’re every frown, Eyes don’t see no lies, So stop telling yourself,
 things are getting worse, 

 Grow your legs real tall,
 Keep walking on, (Keep walking), 
 Tomorrows a new day, yesterday is gone, (yesterday is),
 The tide will come and the tide will go, Things will get better that I do know, Let go of your regret, 
 They’re a waste of breath,
 Cause you are better than this, I’m looking at you, A beautiful human, Embrace those miseries, C’mon open up to me

 Grow your legs real tall,
 Keep walking on, (Keep walking), 
 Tomorrows a new day, yesterday is gone, (yesterday is),
 The tide will come and the tide will go, Things will get better that I do know, Forgiveness oh, Things will come your way real soon, Forgiveness oh, If you have the right mind, Grow your legs real tall,
 Keep walking on, (Keep walking), 
 Tomorrows a new day, yesterday is gone, (yesterday is),
 The tide will come and the tide will go, Things will get better that I do know, Things will get better that I do know, Things will get better that I do know,

about

'Fire In The Sky' is about reclaiming your passion for life. It’s about the journey’s we go through internally to find our power. It travels through the darkest corners of depression, anxiety and emotional turbulence with compassion and discovers this vulnerability as a new found strength. This is a conversation starter, long car ride companion and kitchen dance floor creator.
