After collaborating with the amazing Nic Evennett before on ‘Feel the burn’, I knew that one day I just had to work with her again. So I wrote this for her one Sunday afternoon - and luckily enough, she liked it! Her voice and her lyrics are just perfect and have turned my original idea into something so, so much better.

Her lyrics are shown below:
I'm glass and light,
And silver edged,
And guzzle up the secrets
Once you close the door.
The wrong and right,
And things alleged,
Do not escape me;
Please don't make me
Tell you more.
Yet here I am -
Your tangled hair,
And nothing but the greenest green
And truest true.
A monogram
Of smoke and glare
Is sewn under a face serene
And grown into.
Ohhh, your echo will follow you
Ohh, your echo will follow you.
The shards of my mind
And drying lips
Are scattered in the soil
Under a moon of gold.
That's humankind
That you eclipse;
The empty words
Confuse the birds
And leave them cold.
But holy, holy
Waters creep,
They drink my cries,
And sink my lives
Into the blue.
You follow slowly
Into the deep
And see your eyes
And all the lies
Look back at you.
