Breathe 03:54
Breathe It's time to breathe It's time to believe Being the best man I'am I,I,I,I woke myself up Arguing with myself ,about myself, to myself A crazy broken dream About my low self-esteem About all the times I cheated All the times that I lied All the times I got waisted And all the times that I cried It's time to breathe It's time to believe Being the best man I'am I,I,I,I got sucked into the emotion Dragged down by my imagination A spiralling vortex Of the neurotic mind Suffocating never escaping all these things that I thought that I'd Left behind It's time to breathe It's time to believe Being the best man I'am

Bygones 04:25
Bygones Bridges have been burned Blown sky high There'll be no going back It's time we said goodbye You bet Theres been some regrets Loaded up to the hilt With a mind full of guilt Bygones will be bygone time we was moving on Bygones will be bygones bye bye bye time we was moving on Distance yourself from the crowd Take some time to contemplate Reinstate your feet with the ground Bygones will be bygone time we was moving on Bygones will be bygones bye bye bye time we was moving on Until we learn to behave No one wants to see us Throw another blade Bygones will be bygone time we was moving on Bygones will be bygones bye bye bye time we was moving Bygones will be bygone time we was moving on Bygones will be bygones bye bye bye time we was moving

Potion 05:12
Potion Hello mind and welcome home I'm sure you're going to criticise me Now we're all alone I won't take it to heart I'm not even taking part You don't need potion To dissolve emotion Negative emotion Can't survive in conscious energy Come and feel the love Thats alive in you and me show yourself Go on and put me down I'm not sure I want you hanging around All this self doubt and negativity Well I'm ashamed to know that you're a part of me You don't need potion To dissolve emotion Negative emotion Can't survive in conscious energy Come and feel the love Thats alive in you and me

Little bit of love I can feel the walls closing in on me And all I can do is breathe I can feel the walls closing in on me And all I can do is breathe I'm just waiting on A little bit of love Hoping and praying that We will come unstuck I'm just waiting on A little bit of love Hoping and praying that We will come unstuck I can still feel The good inside The light of love Well it just won't hide can still feel The good inside The light of love Well it just won't hide I'm just waiting on A little bit of love Hoping and praying that We will come unstuck I'm just waiting on A little bit of love Hoping and praying that We will come unstuck

Grow 05:20
Grow You gotta have eyes In the back of your head You better watch where you step Better watch where you tread Treat your woman right She'll stick by your side If you treat her wrong she'll be gone Take the kids and hide You've gotta take care Not to get anything wrong You've got to be fair And you've got to be strong And take it slow And take your time To watch your children grow In the sunshine You've got to be ready For when the shit hits the fan You've gotta be the one You've gotta be the man You've gotta be prepared to live your life without sleep You've gotta think outside of the box You've gotta think on your feet You've gotta be firm let them know who's the boss You gotta show them the way When they get lost And take it slow And take your time To watch your children grow In the sunshine

Forgive Him 05:33
Forgive Him For such a long time She's been under so much strain He never knew what to do Or that been so much to blame He doubted a love So strong Will she ever forgive him For getting it so wrong He doubted a love So strong Will she ever forgive him For moving on She was only trying to love her man Supporting him in every way she can A love without judgment just like what they teach Shame he couldn't practice what he'd preached He doubted a love So strong Will she ever forgive him For getting it so wrong He doubted a love So strong Will she ever forgive him For moving on Will she ever forgive him For revealing the true beauty from behind her mask Will she ever forgive him For making her face her ugly past Will she ever forgive him For exposing the evil thought from within her mind Will she ever forgive him For wanting to leave it all behind He doubted a love So strong Will she ever forgive him For getting it so wrong He doubted a love So strong Will she ever forgive him For moving on

In my soul 03:58
In my soul There's a country revolution And I'm still rocking the blues My skin is only scarred Everybody else is covered in tattoos And I'll just sing what's in my soul Country blues and rock n roll Said I'll just sing what's in my soul Country blues and rock n roll well I've lived and I've learned Crashed and I've burned These days I've got too much to loose In a world where alcohol is still king I'm never going back to those blues And I'll just sing what's in my soul Country blues and rock n roll Said I'll just sing what's in my soul Country blues and rock n roll

Stay Together Strong Days fly life seconds Weeks go by like minutes And now a month has passed Since I last heard from you I'm sure you're doing just fine but I wish that I knew Ooh ooh Ooh Ooh Yeah Yeah Yeah Doesn't matter who was right and who was wrong Ooh Ooh Ooh ooh Yeah Yeah Yeah We've got to stay together strong We could keep this fight going round after round But wouldn't just be easier to stop putting each other down We could keep in touch by mail or phone But sometimes sister I just wish that you'd come home Ooh ooh Ooh Ooh Yeah Yeah Yeah Doesn't matter who was right and who was wrong Ooh Ooh Ooh ooh Yeah Yeah Yeah We've got to stay together strong

about

Breathe the album was recorded after the first lockdown in 2020 and during the second lockdown. The songs were written about my experiences after quitting drinking alcohol and smoking nicotine and cannabis in 2017. And the spiritual path that I chose to embark on rather than taking antibiotics.
