Amen, baby The melody You kept putting on repeat The haunting tricks it played While I was asleep My eyes are so revealing Torture moi, baby Ghostly faces Broken picture frames Never come back now It won't be the same Eyes closed, screaming so softly Over the hill Past the willow tree Up the rocks Until you can feel the sea Frozen steps 'Til you're up to your knees My lost lover Can you see me? In the waves I remembered the ways you moved My smile And our secrets with the moon It never asks "What are you trying to prove?" Hey hey I won't forget you Je disparais, baby Standing on the edge Tear on my cheek Wind in my face, I see clearly Dark peripheral visions It scares me You didn't think I was strong enough I can try Cheated out of my chances To say goodbye Clinging onto the concrete And to my life They say I'm ill 'Cause I'm not terrified In the waves I remembered the ways you moved My smile And our secrets with the moon It never asks "What are you trying to prove?" Hey hey I won't forget you In the waves I remembered the ways you moved My smile And our secrets with the moon It never asks "What are you trying to prove?" Hey hey I won't forget you

A best friend's narrative Opinion so overrated Observation through Tired eyes See her struggle Wade in and out of trouble Don't be scared, girl It'll be Alright He was a constant There through happiness and hardship She got used to comfort, no Risk in her life Loyalties waver Her morals are burning through the paper You're safe for A while Two hearts, one body Trapped in her shell Don't choose anybody, stop worrying It's a sin but sisters don't tell Let your brow unfurrow Let your body dance Let it all go now Well played, venus flytrap There's nothing left of her Two hearts waiting for an answer She doesn't have one And so she smiles "You boys are chasing A part of me you've been creating I'm wasting my energy it's not My battle this time." Two hearts, one body Trapped in her shell Don't choose anybody, stop worrying It's a sin but sisters don't tell Let your brow unfurrow Let your body dance Let it all go now Well played, venus flytrap

There's a stinging wind in your arms tonight Sandpaper skin whispering love in the moonlight Marble breath before my eyes Through these tears that keep me paralyzed It would take a chain and a loaded revolver Please just take me now, I know you don't love her Cause I know you better Gorgeous pleading eyes assault my face And your forbidden hands hot on my waist Let them stay forever There's a rosy wind in the air tonight Glove on my suitcase at the station, is this right? Heart possessed me to come to you Three thousand miles in my high heeled shoes Tug at my hair, is this the right place Here he comes running with a grin on his face With an ease that's blinding Tie my jacket up and smooth the collar Standing on the curb, for once I was taller This is home, I'm finding This is home I'm finding There's no more wind in your arms tonight The candle's out but there's still a little light I can see your freckles, constellations on your face Your eyelids closed and your strong arms around my waist This is home I'm finding

Moi (LIVE) 04:08
Moi, je n'ai pas pleuré Je n'ai pas crié pour toi Je voulais juste te parler To dire l'histoire Ça fait, trop longtemps Que j'ai gardé cela de toi Peut-être c'est le temps De m'écouter pour une fois Combien de nuits blanches Que j'ai passé à penser à toi? Comment je n'avais plus de chance ou de pouvoir Dans tous, dans tous me rêves Je m'imagine près de toi Mais je ne peut pas toucher Je ne dors pas pour un autre soir Ce n'est plus facile Et quand j'essaye de changer c'est inutile Guide la haine hors de toi Laisse moi courrir nu-pieds dance le soir Si tu ne me laisses pas savoir Je m'excuse Je ne cours pas après toi Ce n'est plus facile Et quand j'essaye de changer c'est inutile

She was a tired high school graduate with the whole world in her eyes She kinda felt like she had lost it and couldn't figure out her price So inviting was his constant open door With the old school rap songs playing Sending hard bass through the floorboards He was a Bare-chested brute to some With an unsettling smile He was too intense for anyone But a curious young girl who stayed a while The way he made his music The words and webs he wove Counting out his rhythms to the sky While her young blue eyes were closed Oranges and olives 'Cause you knew they were my favourite Living lillies in a pot instead of Cut ones in the vases I wish I kept all the letters I burned All the emails I deleted all the memories I earned You know, We live the same life each time Over and over again But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again You've done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that You've done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that You've done things, done things I don't believe in It doesn't make you bad I can't stand all this devotion from Rugged hands, tanned skin But you're still young It was a day of insecurity Clouding over a diamond mind She vowed she wouldn't break and feel for him Today she couldn't think of why Her fortress breaking she let Another kiss slip by To exhausted and content to have Her ego revitalized And yet still The days went on and on She winced as each one passed Another genuine good animal Who had given her far more than she could ask And when her guard slipped too far Her mind turned icy cold Her eyes were filled with pepper And her chest began to fold I had a dream that I was caught in a tornado I was flying with a smile 'til it got so strong that my back broke I wish I kept all the letters I burned All the emails I deleted all the memories I earned You know, We live the same life each time Over and over again But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again You've done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that You've done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that You've done things, done things I don't believe in It doesn't make you bad I can't stand all this devotion from Rugged hands, tanned skin But you're still young He told me I'd been making this decision now for ages I would say no, each lifetime now he wanted me to change it The same day that I broke him he had given me a bracelet He was holding the twin in his hands as he watched me drive away and Chorus

Encore? Tu ne me le dirai jamais Tout ça pour me dire que c'est toi qui m'aime En tant que personne tu me fais rester figée Je m'excuse, mon amour mais tu me cause des problèmes T'es rentré dans ma vie, je n'étais pas avertie Et pourquoi viens-tu m'achaller içi? Tes yeux dans les miens Ça joue un air émerveillé Mais je suis trop maigre, trop laide, trop mince Et t'as besoin de l'opposé Ici, je me suis confusée je n'ai plus de point auquel me diriger Je te veux, non j'te veux pas J'ne peut plus te toucher Oui, t'es charmant mais t'es trop compliqué C'est si frustrant quand c'est si évident Cet outil me fait sorcière et puis c'est si terrifiant Ta confiance en moi, elle m'a encouragée Mais mon cher, j'ai trop peur, ça ne peut plus continuer Ici, je me suis confusée je n'ai plus de point auquel me diriger Je te veux, non j'te veux pas J'ne peut plus te toucher Oui, t'es charmant mais t'es trop compliqué Je m'excuse mon amour mais tu me cause des problèmes

about

This EP is made up of six acoustic tracks, three polished ones and three raw live ones. The live ones are complete with mic bumps, piano mistakes and mouth sounds - mm, just the way you like it.

I started recording this EP before my dad got sick in 2013 and he passed away last year. These songs are very old and there is a bit of a full circle element happening for me as I finalize the project. I wrote most of these songs in my dad's house. His house was bulldozed last week.

2233 was my dad's address and my home.

I hope you enjoy a slice of personal nostalgia - I really loved writing it!

Love, Veels
