A Fine Line 03:23
lyrics
download
We walk a fine fine line They were dangerous tides We convinced ourselves we were fine They were unspoken terms They were dangerous words They were ours to grieve and learn We're unravelling If we turn aside Turn a blind eye Unravelling In our careful lies It can't be denied We can start again Be brave with me Come alive with me We can't wait till the light streams Or wait till the words come Wait till we feel free to grieve We walk a fine fine line They were dangerous tides We convinced ourselves we were fine They were unspoken terms They were dangerous words They were ours to grieve and learn We're unravelling If we turn aside Turn a blind eye Unravelling In our careful lies It can't be denied We can start again Be brave with me Come alive with me We can't wait till the light streams Or wait till the words come Wait till we feel free to grieve It's a hard hard road Lonelier if we go alone We walk a fine fine line We walk a fine fine line

Calling My Name 02:41
lyrics

You may have taken my hand Shown me a place to call home You could have left me by the water, a sea of tears You could have left me alone A million little pieces of soul falling Falling out of the frame No longer waiting for the sun to rise over I only hear you calling my name Wait for the morning coming I see light touch each part of your face You left me when you followed the breeze And I haven't moved from this place A million little pieces of soul falling Falling out of the frame No longer waiting for the sun to rise over I only hear you calling my name

Hold Me Close 03:56
lyrics
download
How much time have I wasted I lost myself to make it easier for you It all feels so heartbreaking It all feels so heartbreaking Could I fall apart with you Would you sit with me in the sadness I can't be the only one fighting I can't be the only one fighting Hold us up Set us a part There's something here to defend Hold me close Don't let go Let's just start again When did we stop believing When did these cycles of pain start to carry us Deep deep into darkness Deep deep into darkness Hold us up Set us a part There's something here to defend Hold me close Don't let go Let's just start again I can't be the only one fighting I can't be the only one fighting

Stars 03:09
lyrics

Lost, stepping into this dark heart Who tore all of this apart It's hard to see When it's hard to breathe Start, hold your breath and count to ten Keep trying to begin again Hands are tied Deep inside Sin, not coming to the room to see You don't need to deal with me So hard to know And hard to hold Oh it hurts to love It hurts to be alone It hurts to love, love, love Oh it hurts to love It hurts to let you go It hurts to love, love, love Stars, there if you are colourblind Find out if you'll be surprised Spinning forward Sleeping toward Light, broken pieces turned to art Wait till your pulse begins to start Risk anything To feel something Oh it hurts to love It hurts to be alone It hurts to love, love, love Oh it hurts to love It hurts to let you go It hurts to love, love, love It hurts to love, love, love

Trains of Thought 04:33
lyrics
download
We stood for hours and the snow came down They said they found us feet underground Everything closes I hear no sound My mind spins and I am falling down I may be lost There's no time to talk There's nothing to say You hold the light for me And I find my way How many years and trains of thought Bring us always back to the start Fights we swore we already fought There's nothing here but this is what we've got I may be lost There's no time to talk There's nothing to say You hold the light for me And I find my way

Currents 03:36
lyrics

Fade into nowhere Free like the free will Sing the songs you Sung for me, never Stop waiting for me I won't take me leave Stuck on a side road Feeling all alone When you're with me The current just sweeps I think we could stand up We could be better Who can decide for you I'll hold the line We talk till hurts Why numb life Not safer to watch To watch and die Lay with me for life Lay with me tonight I look for that lost piece The heart keeps me searching We walk in circles Don't know that we're hurting I think if we stand still Someone will find us Who can decide for you I'll hold the line We talk till hurts Why numb life Not safer to watch To watch and die Lay with me for life Lay with me tonight We fall apart These fragile hearts We fall apart These fragile hearts

about

A Fine Line is a project that has been in the works for many years in many places within my heart. And more tangibly, it is one that I have been working on since the summer of 2011.

These songs were written as a way to process pain, honesty, longing, and change within a difficult season of life. I wanted to engage this season without denial; I wanted to learn to access the bravery to be vulnerable and honest with myself and with those around me.

I recorded A Fine Line as a way of documenting the emotions and the essence of this time and as an act of owning my own story.

As so often happens, creativity and life was and continues to be birthed out of darkness. I am very grateful to be able to share some of this journey with you through this project.
