I have burned my bridges - I would rather swim
when you shut me out, I had to turn within
I like to feel the water lap against my skin
I see you waving down
I’ll know the waves so well before I drown
I made you a promise that I’d rather break
your confidence in me was more than i could take
you were the leaking vessel where i poured my faith
but all that’s dried up now
till you find some new sorrow I can drown
why is time so heavy and so sweet?
falling through life, faceless, never found my feet
why is time so heavy and so sweet?
falling through life, faceless, never found my feet
I have burned my bridges, I would rather swim
I felt so left out, I had to turn within.
I lived to feel the water lap against my skin
and see you waving down -
I’ll know the waves so well before I drown.
This album throws you into another world. A world of dreamy imagery, deep feelings, interesting narratives, beautiful compositions and a sense of adventure. I've been following Happy Axe from the start and this album is her realization of all that has happened before. A breath taking collection of songs. I hope this album opens up audiences and opportunities far and wide across Australia and the world. Paul Summerfield
I believe the last track was released as a single, and I remember listening to it while I had a terrible flu. It blew me away into a fever dream... in a good way? It was quite a somatic experience. I adore this album and recall the show at Knockdown Center a few years ago fondly. AD
