Let Me Go

Let me go, put your faith in someone else,
Fall at their feet like you fell at mine,
I don’t know, where to go from here,
But I can’t stay while your mouth is full of lies
In a way, I should be flattered,
But my words, they don’t matter though I make them plain,
You’re not okay, your fears keep spilling out,
Filling my head with doubt and heart with pain,
Though believe me when I say.
I won’t stay here
I don’t do it cos I hate you
I do it cos I love myself,
You drag me down,
This is it, this is my farewell
In another time, you were on top,
The whole world would have stopped if you’d asked it to.
So in my mind, it’s hard to shake
The feeling I should be grateful for your roving eyes
We were young, you bending wills,
Getting your fill, like you’d always done
But time moves on, still I hold the weight,
The feeling I needed space, but I never asked.
Though believe me when I say.
I won’t stay here.
I don’t do it cos I hate you
I do it cos I love myself,
You drag me down,
This is it, this is my farewell
Please don't say you love me.
I don’t do it cos I hate you
I do it cos I love myself,
You drag me down,
This is it, this is my farewell
Please don't say you love me.

Married Man

84, he said don’t worry,
I’ll be a better man this way,
You turned your back, turned your life around and said
honey, you’ll do the same one day.
No.
I’ve been thinking about the time you said,
Friends are worth so much more than love
I guess it’s true, you may be right,
But I don’t know if it’s enough
No
World, take me far away,
Some place I’ll never stray
A world, I don’t need to pretend,
Maybe I’ll love again
I’m on the move, anywhere I choose,
With shoes to fill so huge, they weigh,
Down on you, like someone who
Reminds you of all your past mistakes,
Another time, another place, another city, another face,
Chicago winds blow
One more bar, one more turn, one last drink, one last girl,
She ain’t what you need. You know.
World, take me far away,
Some place I’ll never stray
A world, I don’t need to pretend,
Maybe I’ll love again
I’m coming home, don’t you worry
I always do
I’ve roved and roamed, and though it hurts me
I’ll come back. Soon.

As you turn the key,
Before the pendulum swings.
Will you save this day for tomorrow?
Change the rules of the game,
And the back of love won’t turn around,
It falls down and becomes so hollow.
Known in silence, knowing stare
No words I know, could move the air
Grow me louder, dare me now to prove,
That I can take up space too
That I can take up space too.
Do you know how it feels
When I give myself away
If you would lead, I would follow
A chance to heal, reveal the things that I betray,
I guess there’s always tomorrow
Known in silence, knowing stare
No words I know, could move the air
Grow me louder, dare me now to prove,
That I can take up space too,
That I can take up space too
I hold the silence, so you know I’m there,
It feels so hard to move the air,
Push me once more, dare me now to prove,
That I can take up space too,
Known in silence, knowing stare
No words I know, could move the air
Grow me louder, dare me now to prove,
That I can take up space too,
That I can take up space too

Spill It Out
04:00

I tell lies, of myself to myself.
It’s easier than facing facts.
Truth is the power I have,
Responsibility I lack.
She says.
And in the interest of truth, in my youth
I was a stranger to it all,
I’d look my mother in the eye, and lie, and lie
Just to break her fall.
Did it work at all
Spill It Out
Your face is loud, quiet power now.
I fumble words, tiptoe around,
But this place is loud, defiant power now,
Something shifts and I spill out.
And I steal from present day, to pay debts yet to come
Like anticipating pain will save me
When it comes along
I could be wrong
Like when you said; will you be mine,
I should have said; I don’t think that’s right for me.
But instead, I said yes, I said yes,
And now I’m in too deep.
In too deep.
Your face is loud, quiet power now.
I fumble words, tiptoe around,
But this place is loud, defiant power now,
Something shifts and I spill out.
Sometimes I think I love the agony,
Sometimes I wonder why I’m on the high road,
Sometimes I think I sell myself too cheap,
Sometimes I think I love, the tragedy

Rhiannon Scutt Sheffield, UK
Evolution through Rhiannon’s music is clear. A shift from her first rootsy duo Rita Payne, through a period of introspective work developing as a lyricist. Now working with a grittier sound, she maintains her beautiful and at times uncomfortable lyrics, experimenting with world-class musicians, who's combined sound converge where distorted guitars, live strings meet drum machines and jazz trumpet. ... more
