Lay your head on the ground Listen for the sound of the train Can't you hear the rail? Singin my sweet song Lay your head on the track Close these eyes and never look back I hear angels Singin my sweet song It's easier to go Harder to stay awake To hear you pray I hear a tenor on the breeze Sounds like a choir of angels callin’ me home A headlight holding me Bleeds a halo in the steam from my lungs Lay flowers on this grave An old man was buried here today The rose of life may wither on the vine But we all get given our time. I hear a tenor on the breeze Sounds like a choir of angels callin’ me home A headlight holding me Bleeds a halo in the steam from my lungs Will you catch me when I fall These pieces of my soul are small I climb into the dust Seeds for heaven And a spirit I trust. It's easier to go Harder to stay awake To hear you pray I hear a tenor on the breeze Sounds like a choir of angels callin’ me home A headlight holding me Bleeds a halo in the steam from my lungs I hear a tenor on the breeze Sounds like a choir of angels callin’ me home A headlight holding me Bleeds a halo in the steam from my lungs I hear a tenor on the breeze Sounds like a choir of angels callin’ me home A headlight holding me Bleeds a halo in the steam from my lungs

Is this the moment, the moment, it all breaks When her legs give out and the darkness begins to shake Oh love, what call Oh love, what call has unearthed The ancient mandrake A tricky root she is, no patience in the morn Her seams they heave and pull, her flesh warm, reborn Oh love, what call Oh love, what call has unearthed The ancient mandrake Her body seeps and weeps, into holiest salty lake Sleight of hand descends, sliding in shadows she waits Oh love, what call Oh love, what call has unearthed The ancient mandrake Shout to the heavens Shout at the devil Pray to the rattlesnake When does this flesh become a mended heart? Will anyone still with breath, lodge in her valley with grace Fumbling, falling, into rest in the spells and stars of fate Oh love, what grief Oh love, what grief has unearthed To this, to her, to the greening grass, I promise never forsake And now let the root, stems and leaves depart, in the moment it begins to break Oh love, what grief Oh love, what grief has unearthed Ancient Love, ancient grief My love, what call My love, what call has unearthed The ancient mandrake

Love is a hurt Much more than a dream The hurt makes me strong To hold you to keep Love is a palace Built on a vow Many rooms are doubt But they comfort, they comfort somehow I'm lost in your hurricane You lose me in dark clouds But forever, you are my home Forever, you are my home Love is a promise Broken by all Unchained by forgiveness When I've broken, I've broken my fall I'm lost in your hurricane You lose me in dark clouds But forever, you are my home forever, you are my home My home My home

Now that I've worn out I've worn out the world I'm on my knees in fascination Looking through the night And the moon's never seen me before But I'm reflecting light I rode the pain down Got off and looked up Looked into your eyes The lost open windows All around My dark heart lit up the skies Now that I've worn out I've worn out the world I'm on my knees in fascination Looking through the night And the moon's never seen me before But I'm reflecting light Give up the ground Under your feet Hold on to nothing for good Turn and run at the mean dogs Chasing you Stand-alone and misunderstood Now that I've worn out I've worn out the world I'm on my knees in fascination Looking through the night And the moon's never seen me before But I'm reflecting light

I, roam around With a heart like paper Your promise like a painter Colour my soul My head, my feet Warm me like a mother Cause I'm so alone My, colours draining To the bottom Of the ocean Lift, me up so I might hear The hallowed sound of laughter Cause I'm so alone But you make me stronger Stronger I throw myself into your arms Paint me when I'm falling Catch me in a minor key And hold me till it's major I've tried, flying high Lost in musical religion Clouds of complication Hold me close to the comfort of your home With the promise of a painter Cause I've been alone But you've make me stronger Stronger I throw myself into your arms Paint me when I'm falling Catch me in a minor key And hold me till it's major Creation seethes and boils Twisted in in talented coil Color and sound collide Filling our heads tonight I throw myself into your arms Paint me when I'm falling Catch me in a minor key And hold me till it's major I throw myself into your arms Paint me when I'm falling Catch me in a minor key And hold me till it's major I throw myself into your arms Paint me when I'm falling Catch me in a minor key And hold me till it's major

about

Heart Like Paper is a rerelease of sorts. Many of these songs were originally recorded for an EP called Minor Dreams back in 2015 but it was never released digitally, only ever produced on hand burnt CD with hand folded CD Sleeves.

I was never quite happy with some of the performances and I was very limited with the gear i had at the time. I can really hear that I am still trying to find my sound in this EP with an eclectic blend of country rock, neo classical new age and soul. I am proud of my efforts with this little EP.

I keep this up as a kind of time capsule of the person I was before and as a pointer toward the future.
