The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. The fear of having nothing is worse than having nothing but yourself. All that's lost, Will be found, Through all these ups and downs, Lines are crossed, for better or for worse, Swings and roundabouts. All in tandem, All in sync, 'Cos all has an opposite. It's hard to imagine, Hard to think, That all this is requisite. There's no hope with fear, no fear without hope That has become crystal clear. There's no joy without pain, no pain without joy, That i'll always hold dear. All that's lost, Will be found, Through all these ups and downs, Lines are crossed, for better or for worse, Swings and roundabouts. All in tandem, All in sync, 'Cos all has an opposite. It's hard to imagine, Hard to think, That all this is requisite.

I'm sick to death of the same old lull, I can see my breath as i'm shaking cold. Out on the street singing tales of old, How much would you bet, that no one knows, The things i've seen, The things i've done Too much to see, much to young. I'm not a beggar, Nor a thief. I'm just a singer, who needs relief. I don't do drugs, i can't afford to drink. Hustling for pennies, to make ends meat. I left my job 'cos i had a dream That one day i'll be the one That pays those on the street For the things i've seen, The things i've done Too much to see, much to young. I'm not a beggar, Nor a thief. I'm just a singer, who needs relief. So give me a reason To believe That somebody's listening And sees what's underneath. Fingers are calloused, Lungs stinging cold Still the mind grows restless But my spirits are low Fingers are calloused, Lungs stinging cold Still the mind grows restless But my spirits are low I'm sick to death I'm sick to death I'm sick to death

Father 04:18
I'm lost 'cos i never knew you. Our paths crossed as people shuffled through. For all i knew you could be anyone. But you were gone, always on the run. But what were you scared of? Maybe you were scared off.. Like father like son; except i never had one. That's why i'll always be around. That's why i'll always be around. Long enough, to finally see your face. You can't have disappeared without a trace. For all i knew your time had been and gone. For all i knew your name was engraved in stone. But what were you scared of? Maybe you were scared off.. Like father like son; except i never had one. That's why i'll always be around. That's why i'll always be around. My head full of things my heart forgot. Now all hope is lost. As i stare down the tracks again. Wondering if you'll ever be back again. Probably not. But what were you scared of? Maybe you were scared off.. Like father like son; except i never had one. That's why i'll always be around. That's why i'll always be around.

I've been kind of harsh lately. I've not been what you expect of me, But i still feel the same as i always did. Times have been kind of hard, i tried to buy you flowers but they declined my card Oh how i long, to see you smile again. But please don't leave Tell me you still believe I've sunk my teeth in, You're not leaving, You are all i need. You're hard work and i am too, we go together like paper and glue Oh how i long, to hear you say "i do" But i would not be at all surprised, If you looked deep into my eyes, and said "sorry, but this time i'm leaving" And i say please don't leave Tell me you still believe I've sunk my teeth in, You're not leaving, You are all i need. Please don't leave Tell me you still believe I've sunk my teeth in, You're not leaving, You are all i need.

about

The 2nd EP from Nathan James King. Completely self produced with a more natural folk element to it. Done on a whim with an SM57, home made pop shield (coat hanger, masking tape & tights) and garageband. It's mostly about addressing anxiety issues.
