The bullet beasts through the beat of my heart We’re hard on ourself ‘cause it hurts to be opened I got shot down for wanting to live  To live on the stars I’m hiding my scars  A spaceman on earth I fell through the hole The black holes inside my heart Dark hole dark heart  Dark parting of whole from half of our hearts We are Holey we’re Wholly we’re Holy There are holes in the day and in the dark We are Holey we’re Wholly we’re Holy There are holes in the day and in the dark The bullet rips through the beats of my heart The dark wet he breathes the light in those jars When they break apart they shatter to stars They light up my sky They light up my sky I'm stranded on earth broken in two Full of the hurt that you put me through Dark soul Dark soul You lose control of the whole of my heart We are Holey we’re Wholly we’re Holy There are holes in the day and in the dark We are Holey we’re Wholly we’re Holy There are holes in the day and in the dark The dark side of our hearts The dark side of our hearts Dark matter matter me  Dark matter matter me  No matter how dark we are we are whole We are Holey we’re Wholly we’re Holy No more holes in the day and in the dark We are Holey we’re Wholly we’re Holy No more holes in the day and in the dark
4.	What Have I Done 04:16	lyrics	buy track
I’ve tried every way that I know how to wake you And you’ve tried every way that you know how to escape And I see finally that you are not for saving What have I done? Can it be repaired this parting of the sun? I drove the night into the light Now the nightmare rides violent through my sight What have I done? By putting you down? I’ve tried every way that I know how to save you And you’ve tried every way that you know how to erase me What have I done? Can it be repaired this parting of the sun? I drove the night into the light Now the nightmare rides violent through my sight What have I done? By putting you down? Wake up wake up I’m calling you back, calling you back now Wake up wake up There’s calling me back, calling me back now Wake up please wake up I’ve been called here to wake you Winter has come and again I am numb Frozen by the fear of the damage I’ve done
5.	Fiercely Fearless 02:38	lyrics	buy track
Standing on the brink on the edge on the blink of an eye on the sterile sky I am the rain bow bowing to the sun Some of you know what I mean We will not bow down  We will not bow down easily  We will fight on for the colours of love We’re fiercely fearless of the ma-ma-madness Fiercely fearless  Of the mess we’ve made We’re fiercely fearless of the ma-ma-madness Fiercely fearless  Of the mess we’ve made I will not wait for the undecided dog  I am the belated leaver, I am the sun the moon and the stars I am the fertile green and the greed of the sun We will not bow down  We will not bow down easily  We will fight on for the colours of love We’re fiercely fearless of the ma-ma-madness Fiercely fearless  Of the mess we’ve made We’re fiercely fearless of the ma-ma-madness Fiercely fearless  Of the mess we’ve made I am beauty abused I’m a beautiful bruise  I’m not broken I brave the abyss Bury caution below the kiss Bring my ugliness forth I will not hate myself a minute more You know what I mean We’re fiercely fearless of the ma-ma-madness Fiercely fearless  Of the mess we’ve made We’re fiercely fearless of the ma-ma-madness Fiercely fearless  Of the mess we’ve made I am the rainbow bowing to the sun

Where did all the knights go? Did they get us wrong?  I don’t know how to talk to them I put on so much armour Come as the sun  Not as a fallen star  Come as you are  And just watch me grow as you rise Come as the sun  Into our wild garden  We don’t need you strong We just need you shining Where did all the knights go? Did we get them wrong?  I don’t know how to talk to them I try to hide my ardor Come as the sun  Not as a fallen star  Come as you are  And just watch me grow as you rise Come as the sun  Into our wild garden  We don’t need you strong We just need you shining What else do you think you need to be ‘Cause you’re probably wrong  Just come as you are  Come as you are Come as the sun  Not as a fallen star  Come as you are  And just watch me grow as you rise Come as the sun  There’s no-one to compare to We don’t need you strong We just need you shining

They think we’ll back down  They think we’ll grow up  And still have this sense of smallness They feed us with their fears They fight us with their feelings They feed with their tears  They fight us with their faith We almost started to believe it We’re not slaves to the system We’re not beggars for the cause We’re not slaves to the system  We reach out to where we’re called We’re not slaves to the system We’re not beggars for the cause We’re not slaves to the system We’re not broken by the laws They think we won't  They think we can't  Think we’ll never make it out They think we won't They think we can't Think we’ve lost They think we’ll back down They think we’ll conform They think we’ll lie down when criticised They feed us with their fears They fight us with their feelings They feed with their tears  They fight us with their faith We almost started to believe it We’re not slaves to the system We’re not beggars for the cause We’re not slaves to the system  We reach out to where we’re called We’re not slaves to the system We’re not beggars for the cause We’re not slaves to the system We’re not broken by the laws They think we won't  They think we can't  Think we’ll never make it out They think we won't They think we can't Think we’ve lost We’ll prove you wrong Prove you wrong Prove you wrong Prove we’re strong Dreamed of a changed life unchained Dreamed of a change life unchained  Dare not to care what the people think  Just care for the people care for the people Other people tell us what is right and wrong To the left of the good and the bad is born Other people tell us what is right and wrong What is left inside is the eye of the storm We’re not slaves to the system We’re not beggars for the cause We’re not slaves to the system  We reach out to where we’re called We’re not slaves to the system We’re not beggars for the cause We’re not slaves to the system We’re not broken by the laws Prove you wrong Prove you wrong Prove you wrong Prove we’re strong
9.	Kaleidoscope 02:57	lyrics	buy track
I spent a long time waiting to arrive  Hoping someday my path would be revealed I spent a long time wondering why  I was here without embracing the ride Now you and I collide in this kaleidoscopic point in time Poised upon the point of this everlasting love divine You and I collide, You and I collide  You and I collide in this kaleidoscopic cry I spent a long time hoping to find, Guidance to the gifts that I have inside I spent a long time searching for a sign That the universe was on my side Now you and I collide in this kaleidoscopic point in time Poised upon the point of this everlasting love divine You and I collide, You and I collide  You and I collide in this kaleidoscopic cry I will carry you carry you carry you always I will carry you carry you carry you  I will carry you carry you carry you always I will carry you carry you carry you You and I collide in this kaleidoscopic point in time Poised upon the point of this everlasting love divine You and I collide, You and I collide  You and I collide in this kaleidoscopic cry You and me in unity become the universe The universe we carry inside  You and me in unity become the universe The universe we carry inside

Is this the only way that I have left?  To reach you can you hear me this time?  I’ve risked my life in every way like a cat’s life 7 times  Is this my last chance, last way out, have to wake up, wake up The day will come when she will call us Will we let go, let go into her open arms Will we fall back home  Will we fall back home  This is the only way that I have left ? To reach you can you heal me this time ? I've reached the end of every day without a reason why  Is this my last chance last way out have to wake up, wake up The day will come when she will call us Will we let go, let go into her open arms Will we fall back home  We will fall back home The day has come when she has called us Will we let go, let go into her open arms Will we fall back home  We will fall back home The day has come when she has called us We have let go, let go into her open arms We have fallen home  We have fallen home

about

Recorded in her Brooklyn apartment with Julian Emery (Lissie, Nothing But Thieves, Gabrielle Aplin, Anne Marie) and Danton Supple (Coldplay, U2, Elbow) shortly after the birth of her son, wHOLeY blends elements of Alternative-Pop and Electronic-Indie to create a unique soundscape. The album is an epic yet intimate reminder that we are whole no matter what we've been through in life. It is recorded at 432hz and infused with healing frequencies.
