First single from the upcoming release 'Joyful Mood'

lyrics

With all my pastures cleared and all my baggage cleaned. Set on my back and sent on my way, to climb this mountain again. Feel the sand caught in my shoe, the wind sharp on my face. Feel the suns raise me up, up to that euphoric place that I so longed to be. Hit the flaws of reality, as they all rolled down the mountain beside me. Catching up as I catch my breath. The stress is climbing me. Demanding that I take my place back on the floor, back where I belong, back from where I came, of where I climbed so hard to escape. I ran from this pain. Found me. I hit the floor of this reality then watched it all roll down this mountain behind me. Catching up as I catch my breath. The stress is climbing me. Demanding that I take my place back on the floor and let it overrun me again. But I do not believe that that is all I am meant to be. So I rolled down the hill and I fled to the jungle afoot. I sympathised with the trees. I spoke with the birds and the bees. And they encouraged me, they showed me empathy, they taught me to believe in me. Until eventually I arose and looked around, only to realise that they were simply speaking for me.
This mountain I climb, this jungle I hide in. I know that the worst is yet to come. So I‘ll gather my things and stretch my limbs and prepare for the war that has always ‘only just’ begun. Though, I will not lay down ‘til I have my last breath torn from me. Not ‘til my heart breaks and leaves me beatless. ‘til my stars, they fade. Though I hear them sing ‘We will never leave.’
How I ache and I pain and I thirst for this to just be done. But then I hear the birds in the trees, breathe silence to show me how lucky I’ve been right here. In this exact moment, with these exact trees. How lucky of me? How lucky of me?
