Track Star 03:44
Thought it was clear Thought I’d got it through your head But I find myself stuck inside a twist Eccentric unravelling Nothing’s ever gonna come save me from myself Guess they’ll only hate me if I don’t save myself Nothing’s gonna come save me from myself Now I can’t undo it All it takes is an I love you And she’s coming back All it takes is I can’t stand this Lilac All it takes is her own boundaries And she’s coming back All it takes is I can't stand this Soft as lilac Baby’s got her head down, track star runner An obsession inside her that makes her feel funny I am nothing but dirt in the ground Yet she sees something in me disguised as profound Thought it was clear Thought we’d both commit But I feel you holding on with an iron grip Yet I’m not protesting Nothing’s ever gonna come save me from myself Guess they’ll only hate me if I don’t save myself Nothing’s gonna come And I can’t undo it All it takes is an I love you And she’s coming back All it takes is I can’t stand this Lilac All it takes is her own boundaries And she’s coming back All it takes is I can't stand this Lilac Baby’s got her head down, track star runner An obsession inside her that makes her feel funny I am nothing but dirt in the ground Yet she sees something in me disguised as profound Nothing’s gonna come and save me from myself Now nothing’s gonna come Nothing’s gonna come and save me from myself Now nothing’s gonna come Nothing’s gonna come and save me from myself now I guess they’ll only hate me if I don't save myself Nothing’s gonna come now nothing’s gonna come Now nothing's gonna come and save me from myself Now nothings gonna come and save me from myself Now nothing's gonna come and save me from myself Now I can’t undo it

Sidekick 03:28
I wanna get off I wanna plague the walls inside of your mind I wanna get clean I don’t wanna think I wanna be the olive inside of your drink Would you let me? I’ve been feeling like your sidekick lately Will you love me anyway? I’ve been feeling like your sidekick lately Will you have me anyway? You say the summer’s on But I don’t like the sound of that song The world’s fucked up And me with it Sabotage is my best friend so fuck it I’ll get what I want and get ahead I’ve been feeling like your sidekick lately Will you love me anyway? I’ve been feeling like your sidekick lately Will you have me anyway? I’ve been feeling your sidekick lately Will you have me anyway? I’ve been feeling like your sidekick lately Will you love me anyway? I’ve been feeling like your sidekick lately Will you have me anyway? Will you have me anyway? Will you have me anyway?

Big Feelings 04:29
Chasing big feelings Just so I can write again Nothing seems exciting Without somebody to love Mmm I wanna sing about how much I want ya How I want ya, how I want ya All of the feelings I have forgotten How I want them, how I want them Wallowing in my self pity cos it hurts me baby When you gotta leave All of the feelings I have forgotten How I want them My house is haunted I’m the one who’s haunting it I am a shell now My heart’s made a home in you Oh, you I wanna sing about how much I want ya How I want ya, how I want ya All of the feelings I have forgotten How I want them, how I want them Wallowing in my self pity cos it hurts me baby When you gotta leave All of the feelings I have forgotten How I want them, woo I miss the late night car rides You staring at me with your hand in mine Singing along to “All Flowers In Time” And I know you’re falling I know it’s daunting I wanna sing about how much I want ya How I want ya All the feelings I’ve forgotten How I want them Wallowing in my self pity cos it hurts me baby when you gotta leave All the feelings I’ve forgotten How I want them All of the feelings I have forgotten How I want them, how I want them Might have a great love right around the corner But I want you, but I want you Wallowing in my self pity cos it hurts me baby When you gotta leave All of the feelings I have forgotten How I want them No, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no Chasing big feelings Just so I can write again

The Mask 04:02
If your pain is a mask Does your love lie? The maiden asks, “Will there be danger this time?” Seeking comfort in the arms of a ghost Trouble, trouble, trouble Won’t be far behind Let the lovers lie In the eternal fire I didn’t take you for a fool I see it in my mother Still the eyes of a child How could I be a good lover When I haven’t learnt my lines? Seeking comfort in a silent home Trouble, trouble, trouble Trouble, trouble, trouble Mistake our pain for desire Trouble, trouble, trouble Trouble, trouble Tracing your outline To get to the finish line I feel you etched on my skin Begging me to begin I’ll take another breath I’ll take another breath I’ve been sabotaging my healing Chasing another big feeling Forgiveness has never come easy But I promise you now that I’m listening, oh I’m taking off the mask I’m taking off the mask I’m taking off the mask And letting you in

Karmic 03:28
Lately, I’ve been feeling like a dirtbag Could you keep my heart safe ‘til I come back? I can trust that Wandering mind ain’t no friend Don’t think you know the cast you spell To trap Ah uh, uh uh Ah uh, uh uh Lately, I’ve been wandering with angel kin I can trust that Ah uh, uh uh Ah uh, uh uh uh I wanna come home for the summer I wanna make out in the backseat of the car I don’t wanna give all of my love away I wanna keep it where I know that it’s gonna be safe Please don’t tell me that it’s karmic Please don’t tell me that it’s karmic (karma, karma) Please don’t tell me that it’s karmic (karma, karma) Please don’t tell me that it’s karmic, karma ma (karma, karma) Karma ma, karma ma No, no, no, no, no, no (karma, karma) No, no, no, no, no, no

Never the lover Always the catalyst Perfume scent lingers Long after she has left Can you feel my love? Words burning on my tongue Tethers to your soul Stoic as the yearner Adoring at a distance Watching you dive head first Can you feel my love? Words burning from my lungs She’s the lump in my throat The reason I fold Cos to love Is to face the heartbreak to come

about

The Muse explores the beginning and end of a relationship, the highs and lows of love and a push-pull dynamic. It is centred around the kind of love that cracks you open and leaves you exposed to the darkest parts of yourself.

In the end the love does not last, with the final track, “To Love Is (To Face The Heartbreak To Come” cementing this, but leaves you with a deep understanding that sometimes love shows up simply to break us open, not to remain, but to leave a deep and everlasting impression on us.

The Muse pays homage to a type of short and intense karmic love that acts as a catalyst to help break patterns. This kind of love can be pivotal as it exposes us to parts of ourselves that need to be seen and understood, and ultimately leaving us more whole than before.
