Fix 02:11
LYRICS When do I call it quits? 'cause I'm fed up with this. Undeniably I'm the root of it. I'm just so sick of me. I've lost count of how many times I let you down. I can't even begin to forgive myself now. Sometimes I think I've changed, and then I'll make the same mistake again. Press repeat. Press repeat. Why can't I be a better me? Punching the walls until my knuckles bleed. Punish myself until I am at a peace. Where's my fix? Where is my repair? Where's my fix? Where is my repair? Where's my fix? But do I even care? Break me down, piece by piece and leave my carcass for the vultures to feast on what's left of me. I can't be fixed.

Deteriorate 02:36
LYRICS Kill me and put me out my misery. This sickness is overwhelming. Deathbed is where I lay my head. I've crossed the line, it's just a matter of time before I reach the end. Apathy, self-loathing to the point I can't find anything I like about me. Ill health, I'm not well. Incapable of thinking straight from the poison running through my veins. Begging for the world to hear this, even though I know nobody's listening. I'm sick of always pretending that I'm just fine. There's nothing wrong with me. Medication takes its toll. But there's nothing real that can fix this broken soul. Life leaves us bitter and cold. But we're searching for something to make us feel whole. Side effects hit, I don't feel the same. Lost all feeling. Wear it like a badge of shame. Bitch. God, turn back the clock. I want to suffer. It's all I deserve. I need to suffer. It's all I ever earned.

InsomAniac 03:01
LYRICS 3am. It's yet another night with no sleep. Memories, replay the mistakes on repeat. Drift away. Just a few hours is all I need. Silent screams. Why can't I wake up from this dream? The thoughts cycle and recycle. Suck me into a never-ending spiral. Separate the truth from the lie. Is this what's keeping me up at night? Stare at the ceiling as the clock ticks on. Just like the years now long gone. I dug this grave and decisions were made. Social surveillance, refreshing the page. It's 4am and I'm still awake. Locked in this cycle for days. Shake me awake, slap me in the face. Tell me it's all a dream. Now it's a night terror. Anything for a good night's rest But there's a line that said it best: I'll sleep when I'm dead. I'll dream when the nightmare ends. 2am and I'm still awake. No Sleep. Locked in this cycle for weeks. Sing to me. 4am and I'm still awake. No Sleep. Replay the mistakes again.

Recovery 05:04
LYRICS "How do you make something right when you've made it so wrong you can never go back?" This is my recovery. Taking responsibility. Still searching for the better me. Can I change or was I made this way? Why am I still this bleak? Some are far worse off than me. So much inside I need to say. Let this be my stage. Rewrote my DNA, found myself a spine. Cleaned up my skin but can't clear my mind. This is my recovery. Learn to live now you're a part of me. Come to accept all the damage I have done. Unresolved guilt, will I ever truly learn? My younger self in disbelief at who I have become. Where's the good you saw in me? Was it even there in the first place? I can't believe I was so selfish, thinking I was the main one affected. Hypocritical liar. Pathetic behaviour. Now when I look in the mirror, all I see is you. Rewrote my DNA, found myself a spine. Cleaned up my skin but can't clear my mind. This is my recovery. Learn to live now you're a part of me. There's a comfort in death. A reassurance. Forget my name, let it fade away. Go live your life, I'll keep living a lie. I'm not the same but I'll be fine. Kings of the brave face. Will I ever learn?

about

This four-track EP is the first major piece of work I've written and recorded in nearly 18 months, and it's definitely the most honest and personal music I've ever published. No songs about fake news or Brexit this time.

Wretch EP is a journey of where I've been as a person and where I'm currently at: starting with Fix, going into Deteriorate, on to InsomAniac and ending with Recovery. The title itself gives you an idea it isn't the most positive of records.

Each song has a different vibe to it, lyrically they all have a theme and I wanted that to be the case. They all share characteristics but they're still different enough to be separate tracks.

Everything is free to download. Like it? Share it!
