about

A decisive move away from the instrumental beats and dance oriented tracks featured on his past EP releases. "Levels of High" is a blissfully honest piece of work, crafted around a collection of songs written in a cathartic attempt to pursue happiness. Still featuring the huge richness of wall-of-sound-like, sonic textures and sizzling rhythmic complexities, this new body of work captivates the listener, transporting them through the artist's journey of self-discovery to enlightenment.

Track Name: Freedom Hums
still fight
heavy armed
see signs
early on
in my mind
con-fli-ction
my freedom hums
Track Name: Tingle feat. Jasmine Nelson
NOTHING INSIDE
TO CAUSE ME PAIN
SEEMS I
FORGOT THAT YOU LOVE ME YESTERDAY
IS LOVE NOT
FELT WHEN
TWO MINDS TRANSCEND?
SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT
THERE'S CAUSE FOR PAIN
FROM THE RADIO
NO EMOTIONS TIE
THEN I
THINK OF WHEN
I GOT HIGH
TO FREE MYSELF
--------
SOMETHING INSIDE
A GUILTY PAIN
FEELS LIKE
A NUMBNESS THAT FILLS UP EVERY SPACE
IT'S NOT LOVE
UNLESS
TWO MINDS TRANSCEND
SOMETHING INSIDE
TO CAUSE ME PAIN
HIDDEN FROM MY SELF
THESE EMOTIONS THRIVE
AND I
THINK OF WHEN
I GOT HIGH
TO FREE MY SELF
Track Name: Rely feat. Ed Begley
WE'RE NOT ALONE IN STRIFE
TODAY THEY SAY TO RELY
LEAN ON YOUR LOVED
THE WONDERS THAT FAITH MAKES PROMISE TO
WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES
DISMAY, TRUST LOSS IS COMMON PLACE
ANOTHER DAY WILL BE
THERE'S TESTS TO COME FOR EVERYONE WHO RELIES

EVERY TIME I RELY
some fears stay on to draw on us
HEAVY CUTS TO MY PRIDE
these tears appear to underline

THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCE
BUT HEY, THEY SAY FEAR MIGHT HAVE IT'S WAY
THIS IS OUR CHANCE
TO WEAR OUR HEARTS FOR EVERYONE TO REALISE
Track Name: With Her
WITH HER IN MIND
I OPEN TO BROADER LINES
BROUGHT THROUGH HIND-SIGHT
I CAME TO WITH OPEN EYES

TAKE TIME SLOW BREATHE
BE WHO YOU ARE
TAKE HER WHOLE LOVE
JUST AS SHE COMES

IT'S YOURS
IT'S YOUR TIME
IT'S YOUR TIME HERE
MAKE YOUR MIND CLEAR
Track Name: Loved
ALL HE WANTED WAS TO BE LOVED
LET GO HATE AND ENVY
AS HE LEFT THEM BOTH BEHIND
HE WAS FACED WITH SORROW

HE SAID : " AS OF TODAY I'LL NO LONGER WALK ALONE
WITH YOU HERE I'LL BUILD A HOME
WHEN THE YEARS HAVE PAST AND WE HAVE MELTED IN TO ONE
WE'LL KNOW HOW TRUE LOVE IS GROWN "

HE SWAPPED PAINFUL MEMORIES
FOR MADE UP HISTORY
MAKING UP WHO HE COULD BE
WOULD DECEIVE WHO HE WOULD BE
Track Name: Gratitude feat. Barnaby Keen
CONSCIOUS TIES
BRING NO RELIEF TO DISORDER IN MY MIND
DISTANT HIGHS
DEPICTING AFFLICTING DELUSIONS LEFT INSIDE

THIS PAIN IS HOLLOW
DEAD PAN, BLUNTED STING
SWOLLEN SORROW
TIME ALWAYS FIXES
THINGS
I DEDICATE MY LIFE TO
WORK
AGAINST THE ODDS TO
HOPE
THAT ONE DAY YOU'LL KNOW

I BROKE DOWN BE-FORE YOU SHOWED ME THE WAY TO
THE LIGHT YOU SHOWED ME LOVE

CONSCIOUS TIES
BRING NO RELIEF TO DISORDER IN MY MIND
TAKING TIME
DIFFUSING THE BROKEN ILLUSIONS LEFT BEHIND

THIS PAIN IS HOLLOW
DEAD PAN, BLUNTED STING
SWOLLEN SORROW
TIME ALWAYS FIXES
THINGS
I DEDICATE MY LIFE TO
WORK
AGAINST THE ODDS TO
HOPE
THAT ONE DAY YOU'LL KNOW

I BROKE DOWN BE-FORE YOU SHOWED ME THE WAY TO
THE LIGHT YOU SHOWED ME LOVE
Track Name: High On The White Rock
follow
the narrow tracks
high on the white rock
Track Name: Last Days
STANDING ON THE EDGE BETWEEN MY 1ST AND MY LAST DAYS
EAGER TO BLOSSOM IN TO WHAT OF ME SHALL COME
BEGONE OF HABITS FROM MY OWN SHALLOW LED HYPOCRISY
FOR LONG THE NEED FOR CHANGE IN ME HAS SUNG

hmmmmm....

GOT HIGH FOR THE LAST TIME
HE SAW THE LIGHT
IT LIT UP HIS LAST DAYS
BECAUSE THIS CHANCE WAS THE ONE HE GOT
Track Name: To Deal With The Harm Done
DRAW A LINE
YOU CAN'T CROSS
SO I CAN START A-NEW

SEEK OUTSIDE
MY OWN LIFE
TO FIND THE LOVE THAT'S DUE

ALL THIS TIME
TRAPPED INSIDE
DARKNESS HIDES
THE SEAL ON THE HARM DONE

ALL THIS TIME
DEEP INSIDE
OPEN WIDE
TO DEAL WITH THE HARM DONE
