In Reflection this is one of favourite solo songs, people cant tell me about genres etc cause I don’t know how to pin this one down.
Hint: I was inspired by Sbtrkt album at the time, loved Sampha song writing even Frank Ocean Nostalgia Ultra.
This song is about my nightmares/dreams as a child. The irony of hearing this again recently is this will come back round full circle very soon. Watch this space.

Was so dark how was you to know?
Pitch black, mind in an ego, let it go
I tried to, nothing can stop it
Shadows in my mind
creep out the closet
Heads turn, on the dolls in the window
Eyes wide open like Chuckie has open
So I close my eyes
change my reality
Lost in a world where I’m scared to see clarity
I, change the frequency I try to escape
cause I’m always the victim in the maze
No medusa but I cant move
paralysed as the shadows creep the room
I close my eyes again
Hoping they cant see me
cause I don’t want to know what happens next
These nightmares suffocate my dreams
thats why I was always wake up in a sweat
I wana get out of hear
I don’t want to face my fears no
I wana get out of hear
theres no escape it, accept it
I wana get out of hear
I don’t want to face my fears no
I wana get out of hear
theres no escape it, accept it
Wafer thin is the mattress
that the boy sleeps on
eyelids are shut
but he’s got his lights on
Mum just walked out the door
off to do a night shift
and he doesn’t want to sleep
addicted to the flicks
Of images that simulate eyes with vividness
a ubiquitous influence
Hammer Horrors was the instrument
watching Christopher Lee
Literally killing it
Eyes glued until he falls into his sleep scape
And darkness creeps in and takes over his dream scape
if he’s not a Lost Boy than he wants to escape
cause he would rather be fly
than the predators prey
But he cant seem to chose where he goes
He’s been that way for as long as he knows
The more he fears
The more they control
The more he fears
The more they control
I wana get out of hear
I don’t want to face my fears no
I wana get out of hear
theres no escape it, accept it
I wana get out of hear
I don’t want to face my fears no
I wana get out of hear
theres no escape it, accept it
