Alex Ratiu From the first track to the last Fern Town has me hooked like no other release! The way the tracks just flow into each other, I keep finding myself starting from the top even when i am here for one track. What a journey! Favorite track: Gluey Eyes.

Mark Jamieson Introspection that’s shared, I can see myself in this EP and it’s nice to know you’re not alone. Another beautiful piece of art.

Fern Town 02:18
Fern Town, you're uniform and grey You're raining everyday There's no room for you and me to grow Choked, it keeps us low Amongst the undergrowth I know There'll be no flowering this spring Fern Town, she strives to keep me here Though she's fickle as my fears And as I come down I'm reminded of how I'm my own worst enemy Docile amongst the fern trees There'll be no flowering this spring Fern Town

Broken Skin 03:41
Peel away your broken skin Like I sleep away these waste years peel away your broken skin With our white noise and our war games We'll swallow up the world With tendencies sideways We'll swallow up the world I watched you come unravelled Like I did before You caught the light, hid it somewhere dark You caught my light With our white noise and our war games We'll swallow up the world With tendencies sideways We'll swallow up the world With our white noise and our war games We'll swallow up the worlds Writing off our days I spent a week or two avoiding my own head And you left me for dead I'm running inside out An Escher act

Deep introspection on the Belgrave Line I spent the journey thinking on the empty space between you and I, And how I feel like the outer edge of a venn diagram And everyone else is in the middle Or on the opposite side Seizing up at the prospect of freezing up in new social contexts I think I need a beer or two, and a little space in this crowded room. And a little space.

Maybe 02:11
Maybe I wanna get distracted Wander too far from home at night Too many heads blown up by progress I've lost my sense on what feels right Maybe I'm not cut out for this pace of life Maybe I'm falling behind in your eyes The train carriage is sparse I look away from my phone screen For fear of becoming skewered by the sociopolitical state of my news feed Try to feel some sense of connection with those around me Maybe I'm not cut out for this pace of life Maybe I'm falling behind in your eyes Maybe I'm not cut out for this pace of life (Maybe I wanna get distracted - get distracted) Maybe I'm falling behind in your eyes (Wander too far from home at night)

Sullen 03:21
I'm running out of negative space Im cluttered with too much colour I'm turning grey at the swiftest pace You've got me sad 'cause you're sullen We're missing out on face-to-face But there's too much conversation A social rat-race in it's place You got me seeking validation But I'm no better than I was a year or so ago I just know better I fear we're falling further, and further in I'm running out of negative space Im cluttered with too much colour I'm turning grey at the swiftest pace You've got me sad 'cause you're sullen But I'm no better than I was a year or so ago I just know better I fear we're falling further, and further in I fear we're falling further, and further in I fear we're falling further, and further in I fear we're falling further, and further in Into this superficial And artificial Into this superficial And artificial Social mold

Gluey Eyes 03:12
To feel at home I'm unsure I know what that means A walk-in-robe Feels like I'm walking through a dream An unspoken guilt Pinning my pillow But I'm sure you'll never know Never care To feel at home I'm unsure I know what that means A walk-in-robe Feels like I'm walking through a dream Gluey eyes A blue sky I wouldn't know I don't get outside Anymore Anymore But it's my truth and all truth is relative Your truths and our truths are subjective Subjective (Unspoken guilt) Subjective (Your truth is all you know) Subjective (But I'm sure you'll never know) Subjective (I'm sure you'll never know)

I'm trying not to act on what's in my head Sitting strumming apathetically on this bed Inflicting damage never solved this hurt Human instinct only made things worse Look at us now all but a handful of heads in the clouds And if you're woke then I'm an honest man Look at us now a cacophony of simultaneous sound We'll drown each other out and that'll do for now And we live in the dark With the sun on our backs Eyes squeezed shut
