Verse 1
You don’t care about my feelings
Here comes the conversation shut down
You say I know, I know
But it’s so hollow, hollow
You ignore my worries
Let the conversation shut down
You say nothing, nothing
And the silence stings - it rings out
Pre chorus
What’s the aftermath of your avoidance
Does it even reach you
Up on your pedestal of peace
Keeping distance on repeat
Chorus
I didn't want to be
Raising a man child
History on repeat
You never miss a beat
Ooh
Why am I
Raising a man child
Verse 2
Ask me for nothing
That was the message
I heard it loud and clear
Every time you neglect my needs
It must be so easy, being you
While I lay here crying
Fighting for my breath
You don't even notice my distress
Pre chorus
What’s the aftermath of your avoidance

Why am I
Raising a man child
Bridge
Ooh,
I've been screaming needs
Into the void
Nothing comes back to me
I need to leave
You'll still say the problem is me
Sit with it a while

Raising a man child
Chorus
Ooh

History on repeat
He'll never miss a beat
Ooh
No more
Raising a man child
Verse 1
I want to let the darkside in
Let the bad thoughts win
The urges slowly take over
Externally, I'm wearing thin
There's a darkness underneath my skin
Hook
I want to give in
I want to give in to this dark feeling
Pre chorus
I feel something snap inside of me
I want to say what I’m thinking
Cross the line, never blinking
Let the darkness pull me in
Chorus
Impulsive thoughts impulsive thoughts
When I’m done existing / For the benefit of everyone
To my own demise
Ooh impulsive thoughts
Let me give in just this once
Verse 2
Another rerun day
Holding things together anyway
The safety of monotony
I’ll say I’m fine
But the darkness creeps inside

I spread myself too thin
As the shadows creep in
I push the thoughts back down
While existence drains me of life
I give without condition
My suffering goes undetected
Hook
And I want to give in
I want to give in to this dark feeling that's been building

Verse 1
Conversations circle round my head
Was that really what you said?
Wasn't the story different last time?
Or is this all in my mind?
Hook
You know the liar loves a fool
And I was that for you
Verse 2
I recognise those same lines
I reframe them in my own mind
Just want to keep the peace alive
I pay for it in loneliness
Hook
You know the liar loves a fool
And I was that for you
Bridge
I wish I could name the exhaustion
I paid the most expensive cost
Until I realised silence was the taste of poison
My eyes are now wide open
Hook
You know the liar loves a fool
And I was that for you
Outro (spoken)
The liar tells just enough truth
And you become your own fool

Verse 1
You hide behind the curtain
Leading people like things
Puppeteer to the end
Working wires no one sees
Don't you know I cut my strings
Hook
You're still pulling on him
He doesn't feel the link
Pre-Chorus
Hanging loose from all your fastenings
Pretending if it's longer, that's where freedom lives
Chorus
Like a puppet dancing
Playing a living thing
You're still pulling the strings
You're still behind the scenes
He performs just as you need
Verse 2
I see the lights are still on
I knock, but no one's home
I speak but there's no response
Guess that's the cost of it
You point to the binding of the strings
Hook
Yes, you're still pulling on him
But he doesn't feel the link
Pre-Chorus
Hanging loose from all your fastenings
Pretending if it's longer, that's where freedom lives

Pre-Chorus
Hanging loose from all your fastenings
Pretending if it's longer, that's where freedom lives
Bridge
I tried to cut the cord
I wanted to live just for myself
You let her take the lead
See what your compliance brings
Switch the focus, like you're the victim
But you still won't cut the strings
Hook
She's still pulling on him
But he ignores the link
Pre-Chorus
Hanging loose from all your fastenings
Lying to yourself, that's where freedom lives
Chorus

Verse 1
I don't think I was asking much
My boundaries are not an insult
I want you to want me to stay
You think it’s mean of me to want to go away
What are you doing to keep me?
Why does it feel like you're not listening?
Pre chorus
Nothing ever changes
And it won’t ever get better
No, nothing ever gets through
It’s impossible to reach you
Chorus
What are you asking of me today
While my self withers away
Don’t you hear the words I say?
I suffocate, I suffocate
But I smile anyway
Ahhh ah Ahhh ah
Hook
Invisible, until I'm of use to you
I'm no use to you, so I'm invisible
Verse 2
Quietly I slip away, into safer space
Let tears fall down my face
Silently I start to fade and pull away
I hide the pain like it's my disgrace
What are you doing to fix this?
If you lost it wouldn't you miss this?
Why won't you fix this?
Echo (why won't you fix this)
Pre chorus

Bridge
Guess that it's a broken record
Ask for changes, never get them
If I leave, I'll be the villain
You threaten that you'll ruin me
Look at what you do to me
It's true already, so where does this leave me?
Pre chorus
You know that nothing ever changes
No you won’t ever do better
No, nothing ever gets through to ya
It’s impossible to reach someone who doesn't listen
Chorus
What are you asking of me
While my self disintegrates
Don’t you hear the words I say?
I suffocate, I suffocate
But I can't smile today
Ahhh ah Ahhh ah
Outro
Invisible, you know it's true
You know it's true, I'm invisible

You switch your moods with perfect timing
Never miss your cue to drop a tear
Raise your voice, make sure the audience is listening
They’re listening
You perform your art, beguiling — pull them in
Pre chorus

Here's an award for your inventions
Standing ovation for your interpretation
Chorus
Villainise me, villainise me
Your disguises hide your cruelty
Cruel intentions, cruel intentions
Victimhood’s a fabrication
Hook (Spoken)
Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats please
This performance needs some witnesses
Verse 2
You recite your words with such sincerity
Accusations sounding like confessions
Masked behind your plausibility
Anything to pull the audience in
They're listening
Outperform me — give it everything

Verse 1
Playing with my dark side tonight
Let my freak out — are you freaked out?
The monsters all run scared of me
Guess it’s ’cos I bite, you see
Pre chorus
Don’t you try to run or hide
You said you wanna come inside
Darkness isn’t hard to find
Come on — it’s adventure time
Chorus
Monsters running in my head
I’m the thing that’s chasing them
I used to fear the dark so close
I opened up — swallowed it whole
I’m not scared of the dark no more
Hook
I'm not scared of the dark
I'm not scared of the dark
Verse 2
Tell me, aren’t you curious?
Don’t you wanna master it?

I once let fear rule my life
Darkness wouldn’t leave my mind

See you on the other side
Pre chorus
Don’t try to run or hide
You said you wanna come inside
Darkness isn’t hard to find
Adventure starts this time

Don’t be scared of the dark
Come on, it’s adventure time
Verse 1
Do the details strike you at the weirdest times
Like… ooh, whoa
My coconut scent lingers on your pillow
Mmm, mmm
The smoky sound of my voice stuck in your mind
Pre chorus
In your mind
Am I?
In your mind
What do you want from me this time?

When you've
Kissed me, kissed me
Now you're gonna miss me

I'm a songwriter and lyricist with a passion for creating unique work that connects emotionally. My writing spans indie/ballads/dreampop/ occasionally other genres. With themes covering love and loss - to empowerment and self discovery.
I'm always looking for ways to collaborate with musicians, producers and artists. And I'm open to licensing, co-writing, or selling my work.
I’m a new songwriter with a natural gift for capturing emotions and stories in lyrics. Songwriting has always been my way of expressing what words alone can’t. My style blends ballads, indie, pop-dreampop and other styles, with themes that explore love, loss, resilience, and the complexities of human connection.
I may be new to sharing my songs, but writing has always been second nature to me. I’m here to grow, collaborate, and share my work with artists and producers who are looking for heartfelt, original lyrics.
