How to Make Friends

Strange ceilings don't remember where I've been neon lights and memories of a life we might've seen the real me is in here somewhere a fake object in human shape all the things we could've been Kid I know you got it bad no-one asked you to give up what you had so much blood and sacrifice all of our regrets on shoulders so young Strange feelings don't remember what this means obligations and regrets of a cause you don't believe piloting this body left to me into a future and a fate as yet unseen Kid I know you got it bad no-one asked you to give up what you had so much blood and sacrifice all of our regrets on shoulders so young

I swear I'll do better next time, maybe twice is enough. I tried to make friends with the tide, tried to call your bluff. Free is all she ever could be, defeated by this love. We tried to make friends with the tide, tried to call its bluff. Bright colours in this solvent reality. Maybe twice, twice is enough. Names written on walls that I can't read. Maybe twice, twice is enough. Maybe twice is enough I swear I'll do better next time, maybe twice is enough. It's all about sweat in the end, and this is all just stuff Bright colours in this solvent reality. Maybe twice, twice is enough. Names written on walls that I can't read. Maybe twice, twice is enough. Maybe twice is enough

Life, life won't change today everything's the same nothing in my way nothing in my way It's just, just my time to wait the dreaming lies awake nothing in my way nothing in my way The endless watch over us as the stars crumble to dust Fall, fall back down with me we'll be fine, just wait and see nothing we cant be nothing we cant be The endless watch over us as the stars crumble to dust The years lie in wait for you on the other side of midnight just me and morpheus just the same as all of us

Slow Down 04:36
Please take me back to the place where all our memories lie I remember I walk with warm sun on my face but darkness follows me slowly These people talk too fast but yeah it's fine I wish I knew where I went wrong but yeah it's fine Slow down, slow down, slow down darkness keeps me warm slow down, slow down, slow down let me stare into blue eyes Holding up someone else's mirror shout at me with inside voices dancing with my confusion you go have your fun These people talk too fast but yeah it's fine I wish I knew where I went wrong but yeah it's fine Slow down, slow down, slow down darkness keeps me warm slow down, slow down, slow down let me stare into blue eyes

about

'How to Make Friends' is a collection of songs written over several years that I finally got around to recording properly. During lockdown I got involved with the online guitar lessons run by The Guitar Social (theguitarsocial.com) and through their in-house label TGS Records I finally found the motivation and encouragement to get these songs recorded and out into the world.
