White is black
I crossed the line

It all comes together
It all falls apart
I’m on the edge
From the start
I’ve gone Colour Blind
To her signs, Colour Blind
Tears on your face
A broken heart

The sky is bright – But my heart is blue
Down, down, down – Down I go

This is a rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics:

I went straight to your room
There’s no point in looking…

Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.

This song was inspired by a long walk....

Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…

This acoustic song is a drunk nihilistic escapade with a surprise ending; so if you like to howl, join along and do your best "ahhoooo.."
