Dragonfly You flew out my window Love in Mind Please linger here some more Change your mind If I simply often listened Be just fine I’m up here on my own
2.
I walk with shadows and ghosts from the past
 Blow smoke of the boat in the hope that it lasts 
We probably should have known from the start
 I’m so sorry
 Someone must have broken your heart 
I said not everybody’s path is as frozen as ours 
I looked into her eyes
But the moment had passed
 Another black valentine
 Hold the cigars 
Pour another drink
 We are at home with the stars 

I’m an autumn child
 Born with wings 
I can’t remember times I did normal things
 Just a day I’ve broken every single mortal sin
 Fuck a wave I’ll catch a ride on a dorsal fin 
I remember when we all were kings
 You can bring your god
I can talk to him 
Or we can wait
 See what dawn will bring 
I wrote a new song that we all can sing

 You’re life’s worth living
 Just find your truth 
Believe in us cos I believe in everything you do
 Your hearts my angel
 Come rescue me
 Just save our love from drifting out to sea 

You’re life’s worth living
 Just find your truth 
Believe in us cos I believe in everything you do
 Your hearts my angel
 Come wrap your wings around me
 Just save our love from drifting out to sea

 I’ve broken everything I’ve ever touched 
My life’s a bed of nails in a den of lust
 Yeah I get involved but never get enough
 Goodbyes the only thing you ever need to tell me once
 Devil on my shoulder, my Siamese twin
 Stories as secret as the diary it’s in
 Disguise my eyes
The hiding of the wings
 Before us is the future
 Behind us is the wind

 I’m not a prophet but it’s time that we begin
 Violence when I write
 Silence when I sing
 We threw something timeless in the bin
 Phantom of the operation hiding in the wings 
Patiently waiting for the fighting to begin
 It is the provocation it’s the timing of the thing
 Contemplation
 Lightning on a stick
 Asking silly questions like why do we exist You’re life’s worth living
 Just find your truth
 Believe in us cos I believe in everything you do
 Your hearts my angel
 Come wrap your wings around me
 save our love from drifting out to sea

 Come rescue me
 Come rescue me 
I will rescue you
I will, I will, I will
I will rescue you
3.
Reaching into silence
 For someone I knew
 Each new day
 So overgrown

 The reasons to fight it
 The reasons I know
 Got to give it, give it, give it up

 And she speaks soft
 And she speaks slow 
It’s all I know
 As we stand too close like ghosts
 I’ve got to go
 Throw it into the sea

 Throw it into the sea
 Throw it into the sea
 Hope it comes back to me
4.
You’re more than the sun You’re more than the moon to me You’re more than the starlight in the sky on my darkest day I’m feeling the love Emotions run over me You help me stand up to the face of what curses me Cos you’re never too far You’re only a day away You are the compass in my heart that helps me navigate Whenever you’re here We cherish the moment Cos every second with you is perfect Cos I feel your love
5.
To feel your touch To be your friend To feel your love Is all I ever needed All I ever want And I don’t want you to go

Hear the baby crying on the prison bus Your prisoner of war In velvet handcuffs Make believe this child is the reason For your dry and rainy seasons The culprit of treason, twisted fantasy Do You Hear? Can you See? Will you Beg? Play pretend? See the mother banned at the border By executive order Fake news reporter explains why we deport her Praise god and say amen As long as it favours us in the end Do you believe for your benefit Or is this result of your ignorance Can you see? Good Bread, Good Meat False God, False Grief You hear, you see Why don’t you speak Wrong from right All twisted in your mind And that’s by design Heart as cold as ICE Can you believe everything is alright? Are you alright? Tell me what you need And tell me what you truly believe You don’t have to pretend You don’t have to pretend You don’t have to pretend
7.
I haven’t been sleeping that well lately 
Had some stuff going on
 I’m always tired
It means, these days I haven’t had allot to dream 
But last night, under a street light
 I met a man selling dreams 
And I don’t have much to trade
 So I gave him my left shoe
 It was all that I had
 For one of his stories
 And he asked me who I was
 And I wanted a good dream
 So I convinced him that I was somebody else
 Someone of worth, I thought that would help
 And he sold me a story 
It was my story
 Not of a history or a future
 But little moments that are happening right now 
In the midst of the mundane and the stable 
Like how my daughters feel
 When I make them breakfast at 6.30 everyday
 And how i do the dad voice when I read a story or
 How my wife feels when I tell her she looks good in that dress
 And how my oldest girl feels at night when I tuck her in and tell her that I’m proud
 Or how my heart feels 
When we are sat at a table 
Amongst a rainstorm on a Tuesday
 And our kids say something that we say the way that they say it
 And we just pause and look at each other
You know that look
 Right there
 And everything fell away
 And I wanted to explode and tell him that this was me and this was my story 
It was something and it was nothing
 And it was all the beauty of this world
 And I tried to convince him he was talking about me 
But he just laughed and said
 Yeah ok

 Cos no one would deny being themselves would they?
 And off he went
 In one of my shoes
 Full of heart I woke up and I couldn’t really remember much of anything
Just that I had a chance of being involved in something bigger than myself
Something good

 For the good of it all
8.
In the depths of my mind
Lies an idea of you 
I know it’s wrong but I can’t find 
A better version to talk to 

In the darkness i possess 
A way to hold you close 
Feel I’m rushing I’m running away from this mess I chose to 

Do you hear
 Calling you down
 Back down
 Do you need me
 To talk some sense into you

 Do you fear the unknown
 Like you say you don’t
 Do you hear me
 Talking sense into you 

I’m running backwards I can’t find
 Who I thought you were
 I’ve made up so many
 So many versions of you 

I’ve let you drive me wild 
And break my walls down
 And all my thoughts don’t know Which way to go 
You’ve left me no room to grow

 Do you hear 
Calling you down
 Back down
 Do you need me
 To talk some sense into you

 Do you fear the unknown
 Like you say you don’t 
Do you hear me
 Talking sense into you
9.
You know somethings wrong How you feel inside But you can’t open up Just in case you cry So you keep pushing on Ignoring all the signs You’ve gotta talk this time You’ve gotta save your life
10.
When your lights are down Like you can’t go on Take a breath and hear your heart that still beats strong When your lights are down Like you can’t go on Baby, I want it so bad
11.
I’ll be right here with you Standing right by your side If the pain gets too much We can make things alright You’ll be right here with me Through the tears and the fight When the pain gets too much I won’t take my own life
12.
You’re the one I want to come home to My arms where built to hold you When the world is older We’ll stay young together

about

This 12 track album is truly beautiful. Drawing influences from jungle and liquid as well as low-fi hip hop, with flecks of soul and RnB, all washed over with cool, ethereal touches. Facing Jinx has worked with his friends, people he met along the way for this record resulting in every track featuring a different collaborative vocal.
