about

Sinking is about struggle. Especially with things out of your control that still have a dramatic influence on how you can “be”. The song came from the intro melody, imagined in the shower. The lyrics wrote themselves. It was one of the first tracks written from this EP. It was probably one of the first times I really allowed myself to feel truly vulnerable in a song. The rest of the EP continued in this vein.
The recording process was eclectic, spanning across multiple years with the song diverting in different directions to end up where it is.

lyrics

Too much have I smoked
So much have I choked
Well many songs that I’ve wrote
But I’ll like this one the most

And all the things that I’d give
To live like I once did
You tried hard but you failed
Now I’ve lost the tracks rails

And not getting any sleep
On each day of the week
Awake all through the night
Hoping to sleep tight
Well tell the truth with your words
Or sing it in a verse
Stop using these lies
To keep on passing the time

Well I know there is a bigger picture
Do you think that this would
It would have killed you
And you say
That's it's hard to understand
But I’ll yell
Once again
I’m sinking in sand
Oh
