it's getting better to be safe than sorry I'm not sorry I'm caught making contact even when we're wasting time sorry I tried sorry I find the circle I've been following so much of me has gone and all that's left is other parts that wish they had much less of me even if we travel we only see as much as we'd allow ourselves to see with what we only can it seems as if we're stuck in the same places
2.
I'm entourage I'm on the ceiling again I'm in between creating scenes I'm silent night I'm "where have you been all day?" I'm help me out I'm glad it's me I feel the weight of work is always on me and never late to sell it out until I'm entourage except without me again on either side of either scene can't plainly focus trained for keener eyes I reconsidered your offer can planes of living train us for what comes next if we listen to our bodies they find an eager eye
3.
under way things are changing seems to me cities call my name so this is a goodbye, I know but I can't leave just yet interesting how we wake up where we were when we left our homes and now we sit beside ourselves who am I to regret? changing lines passing times move with me then we'll talk again finding roots to plant down move with me then we'll try again come back down times are changing only if you apply yourself now retry if you dare to or lay down, let me join you changing lines passing times move with me then we'll talk again finding roots to plant down move with me then we'll try again finding suns, were you there? where'd you go? I had just got comfortable only you could be so kind where am I, and am I okay?
4.
I think it's time we agreed on different things tell me not that it's ending but only it's over fly both ways back and forth it's all that we can do bring your bag and pack a camera this one's only me and you so waste your time with me say it back so clearly I feel like I could be talking to myself better see where it gets you, you'll miss it it's brand new and once it's started is when it ceases to be try and capture what you had when you weren't making any sense so say all's well with me if only you could stay we'd all completely be free though worlds collide in threes only you and me could see it coming faster than before take off your shoes and relax you're safe with me I'm feeling empty and kind of strung out but won't you hold me until I've bled out?
5.
finding things before they've come undone sinking feelings grip at me, I've won and so we dress our ways like fields we can't remember easily be strong and soon forget yourself two planets bridged as one but can this make transitions easier how can this ever happen to me? keep this space and watch your space and watch this space I know it's hard to keep from heights and stop from falling so try and rest, it's better if you find a hold to grab on to finding things before they come undone sinking feelings grip at me I've won swallow hard before you grow and see this through trust you only do what you can do for me how can all these signs be telling me to not pursue you? comfort me and sign your name before you quit and move on
6.
it's your code that resembles me while I load mirror strengths you could never see in me I swear I can't regress from all these things I feel would waste my time but in case you can control my mind I'll let you know that this is real I guess you can't tell which circles you'll fall in or who you'll belong to but where I find myself is in places where I know you've got me it's your code that resembles me while I load mirror strengths you could never see in me so I drove where I couldn't see what you wrote when you signed off on always seeing me
7.
so once again I find myself in consistent movements sew me back into my old skin, it's said it's easier grazing your side to listen beside you leave all your hard work then never write promising that you're inspired enough to waste all your time thinking of me
8.
how can we start again when reminiscing seems to hold our tongue trust ourselves not to fail again but how can we not find ourselves back here signal me lecture me but silent as I'm terrified sit with me write with me a pact that we both recognise
9.
where I go inside don't follow me who I mean to be trust me how are you tonight? you seem distracted how are you tonight? and shadows follow me back where I first thought of what I lack now change can finally happen if only you'd forget them

about

three years in the making, 'Stranger things' is an album that signposts a dramatic shift in my life as a musician and a person coming to terms with identity, gender, love, friendships, and how to live. the first release as freya and in my new body and life, it's only fitting that I get to say that this album wouldn't exist without the people around me. they've shaped my life and who I am and who I am able to be, and therefore have shaped my music in some way. you've all shaped this record in some way and for that I thank you for it.
