Living with the Moon

They say you’re crazy but what do they know
They don’t see the full picture, no
The seek peccadillos and they scrutinise
Armchair psychologists on the rise
They pick at your vices that scream Dionysus
It makes them feel better inside
The full or the crescent, behind clouds you’re present
The whole of the time
Ooh, it’s living with the moon
You’ll understand it soon
In a sweet reverie, bathing in the silver light
They think they’re so clever, that they’re seeing so clear
But their judgment is clouded, yeah
They sniff out your weakness, hang you out to dry
Keyboard warriors on the rise
They seek imperfection but it’s their own reflection
That they’re dying to criticise
They’re so damn conceited, you won’t be defeated
There’s a bad moon about to rise
Ooh, it’s living with the moon
You’ll understand it soon
In a sweet reverie, bathing in the silver light
I’m soaking up the silver glow and I’m going with the lunar flow
The moontide keeps me sailing on and on and on and on…
Ooh, it’s living with the moon
You’ll understand it soon
In a sweet reverie, bathing in the silver light

Ascension Heights

When I fly way up high I’m an eagle on a summer breeze
Closer to heaven I’ve never known such peace
And I’m way up high close to the sun’s glow
I set my sights on Ascension Heights a long time ago
I spent my life looking for the rainbow
I dreamed all night of Ascension Heights, I’m tripping away home
I set my sights on Ascension Heights
When I swim across the ocean I’m a dolphin on a trip away
Leaping for joy I’m a lost boy who found his way
And I’m way out there freer than I’ve ever known
I set my sights on Ascension Heights a long time ago
I spent my life looking for the rainbow
I dreamed all night of Ascension Heights, I’m tripping away home
I set my sights on Ascension Heights
I’m tripping away with a higher being
I kneel and pray to the smiling face of the god I’m seeing
I’m slipping away to a higher being
I kneel and pray to the smiling face of the god I believe in
Home, I set my sights on Ascension Heights
Home…. I set my sights… tripping away

This isn't me but it's who I want you to see
A face erased of flaws my eyes enhanced
In fact they've made them bigger
This isn't me but it's who I claim to be
Because I have come to hate myself, my face, my nose
My skin, my figure
Digital Imogen, I want you back again
I don't believe the mirror
I used to fit right in, quite happy in my skin
Proud of my origin, then the demon screen just pulled me in
Living in cyber space, we're messing up the human race
Can't bear to deal with what I feel
when it's my unfiltered face
Digital Imogen, I want you back again
I don't believe the mirror
Digital Imogen, check me out baby with my perfect skin
I'm gonna smash the mirror
Digital Imogen
Now I'm stuck inside this filter
scared to go out and full of fear
I'm going crazy stuck here at home
Crippled by body dysmorphia
Digital Imogen, I want you back again
I don't believe the mirror
Digital Imogen, check me out baby with my perfect skin
I'm gonna smash the mirror

Lionhearts

Turn off the news my dear and let your poor mind clear
I see a sorrowful tear on your cheek
Come on outside with me so we can breathe in deep
I’ll hold you close to me
Most of the world agrees all that we need is peace
So don’t let the stuff you see cloud up your sunny sky
Call it naivety but it’s always worked for me
Look within you’ll see there’s the heart of a lion
Inside, we are the Lionhearts and we’re standing side by side
We are the Lionhearts the Lionhearts and we’ll rise
Turn off the screen my sweet, don’t let it cut too deep
I see the hopelessness fall down your face
Come out and walk with me, I’ll keep you next to me
We can sit quietly in our favourite place
Most of the world agrees all that we need is peace
So don’t let the news you read cloud up your sunny sky
The skin of fragility hides all the strength in me
Up close you’ll hear the beat of the heart of a lion
Inside, we are the Lionhearts and we’re standing side by side
We are the Lionhearts the Lionhearts and we’ll rise
The Lionhearts and we’ll rise
The Lionhearts and we’ll rise
The Lionhearts and we’ll rise

Wait For Me
04:35

Piece by piece, echoes in a mirror
I saw your face reflected in a river
Time went by, you never really left me
By my side, your lazy shadow lingers by me
Wait for me, I’ll be sitting by our favourite tree
With the letters that you wrote for me... No, I never let you go
The sun sets low, shadows on the pavement
Line by line, skipping like a child
Full of hope, maybe it’s all a game
I’m never gonna lose, I’ll keep on calling out your name
Wait for me, I’ll be sitting by our favourite tree
With the letters that you wrote for me... No, I never let you go
Time moves on... But it’s with you that my soul belongs
I was here beside you all along... No, I never let you go
Wait for me... I’ll be here with you eternally
Holding onto every memory... No, I never let you go
I still cry... Even though we haven’t said goodbye
I won’t rest until you’re by my side... No, I never let you go

Ghost of Love

The ghost of love is at my door
He visits me most days, I’ve seen him many times before
I wonder if he understands that I’m an open book
But I’m relieved he’s come to take a look
He follows me down to the river
Sometimes he holds me back as I consider jumping in
The ghost of love looks after me
It’s the benefit of never being free
The ghost of love sings softly to me
Of heartache and pain but also happy memories
I feel his eyes upon me as he sings his lullaby
I’m glad to know that someone sees me cry
He follows me down to the cliffside
Sometimes he holds me back as I consider trying to fly
The ghost of love looks after me
It’s the benefit of never being free
I think perhaps he wants me to come to the other side
I think perhaps he’s asking me to join him
But the ghost of love he keeps me alive
It’s the benefit of being in his sight
It’s the benefit of being in his sight
It’s the benefit of being in his sight

Do You Really Wanna Go?
03:11
|

Don’t wanna wear a dress or a pair of high heels
Stand in a room where nobody’s real
A networker’s wet dream- they wanna do a deal
A canapé nightmare, I just want a proper meal
Do you really wanna go to the party?
No I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
Do you really wanna go to the party?
No I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
Don’t wanna do my hair, don’t even own a pair of straighteners
Planning what to wear or how much fashionably late is
I wanna stay home, do some Spotify perusing
Not succumbing to the playlist of someone else’s choosing
Do you really wanna go to the party?
No I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
Do you really wanna go to the party?
No I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
I want to stay at home, feels good to be alone
And I can be myself, cause all this faking makes me low
Sick & tired of disco lights, I can still have crazy nights
Me and my favourite tunes, even if it’s social suicide
Do you really wanna go to the party?
No I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t

Sewing at Sea

I wish I had a boat to sail out to sea
And needle and thread to fix everything that’s wrong with me
I’ll build myself a boat I’m gonna do it on my own, oh oh-oh
I’ll take my little boat and sail the ocean deep
And fix the haunted dreams that visit me in my sleep
I’ll build myself a ship so I can weather any storm, oh oh-oh
Silly old me in my boat
I’m sewing at sea, I'm sewing at sea
And I will come home when I'm back in one piece
One day I hope I won’t have to go to sea
I’ll stay at home and fix myself with you next to me
But just for now it’s the only thing that I know how to do, oh 0h-oh
Silly old me in my boat
I’m sewing at sea, I'm sewing at sea
And I will come home when I'm back in one piece
I’m out here on the ocean but I can’t thread the needle
My hands are shaking and they’re making it hard to do
Please forgive my illogical behaviour
One day I’ll let the waves rise up and carry me home to you
I’m sewing at sea, I'm sewing at sea
And I will come home when I'm back in one piece
I’m sewing at sea, I'm sewing at sea...
And I will come home

Glorious! This is so lovely. The piano on Teapot Girl with the lyrics and her voice are perfect to me. Exactly what I needed to hear! I regularly find myself now humming Kite String Mantra because it's so catchy, I can't help it. One day I hope to see her do some live shows. She is awesome!
