After our previous collaboration, I was so pleased when EllE (Cycle of Hands) agreed to work with me again on this new track, both with the music and vocals. It has not exactly been an easy ride and I have to admit that at times I almost gave up on it...but I am so, so glad that we both persevered, as '4am' has become something rather special and unique. Huge thanks to EllE. She is - and always will be - a star.

Lyrics below:
There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky
I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light
It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end
No sleep then
For me this night
It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind
I wonder
I hunt for
What is life
I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9
But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault
It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end
No sleep then
For me this night
It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind
I wonder
I hunt for
What is life
It’s 4 am and
The world is small
This screen the window
And my wall
No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth
And it ticks me off
My eyes are glued to this new creation
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration
Inside me theres a key to the ignition
When its turned There is no chance of intermission
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written
Leaping from the words the moment you see em
So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold
