  • Many of my poems are the inspirations behind my songs and their lyrics. And in 2021 I wrote and debuted a solo poetry show called Another Universe. This is also a poetry book that you can buy

    This collection takes you through three narratives of lives that could have been if different choices had been made. Ever wondered what might have happened if you didn't catch the plane home? Chose a different career? Beautifully illustrated by Emil Datony, these poems weave the stories of other lives to reflect on ideas of possibility and regret while looking at topics of identity, sexuality, war and feminism.

lyrics

VERSE 1
So you woke now
Been asleep for years
you see em choke now
Deluge of white tears
Like it just broke
Same system always there
Fire was stoked

Long before you cared

CHORUS
Tell me i’m sensitive
Tell me it’s in my head
Gaslight me to this bed
You make for us
Tell me what’s just
How we make fuss
We make fuss

VERSE 2
It was just bad luck
You’re the third in line
No, not me
I’m always on time
It’s the way you’re dressed
How you talked to them
Follow the rules
You’ll be fine

CHORUS
Tell me I’m sensitive
Tell me it’s in my head
Gaslight me to this bed
You make for us
Tell me what’s just
How we make fuss
We make fuss

VERSE 3
It's just their job
Their bad day
That was
A different person
A different day
A different accent
A different skin
Different hair
Different chin
It’s different
It’s different

Eyes watch me in the store
Black bodies hit the floor
Brown bodies wash ashore
We want more, we want more

So you woke now
Been asleep for years
you see em choke now
Deluge of white tears
- Like it just broke

Nice was never enough
