Spoken: I go deeper and I sit, talk to stillness, i stay for I've been running away For too long, from myself, And I have treated her, like a shell obliged to support me, enslaved to devote three hundred sixty five days unattended untended and forgotten ungrateful me, I didn't once think of giving her a rest her soles, her vessels, her breasts, bearing my vicissitude my fickleness and all my moods My greeds, my inability to pause are like claws scathing her patience, her tolerance, her vigour, her magnificence, She- is divine My deepest desires have left bottomless scars on her I have been eating my own flesh Sung: i am home, i say to myself I am home, I say to her I am home in my skin I am home in my skin I am sorry I haven't been – around I am sorry I let you down I ran away I'm sorry I couldn't come back and say I am here for you, my love, I am here for you I am here for you Now

Wonder 03:38
1 You said you maybe shy but darling I have seen you shine Oh You can cause a riot I will love you dark and light 2 So sometimes it may seem you gave away your self esteem To that critic deep inside But know that to some you're a dream I will love you dark and light 3 Oh my body You are a beauty Oh my darling You are a wonder

Hold Me 04:41
Last winter you held me Oh It was electricity 1 I let you go by my wooden window I don't stop- don't tell you, that I'm not at rest I see you from far and I feel you inside I am trying to be good to my only man Hold me not too long please 2 I speak of the times, when we met in a room A hotel by Ganges- we quenched ourselves You're lonely my friend and I am as well Our roads don't meet though, we're faraway friends Hold me not too long please 3 Try not to kill me with your love I drifted apart, and I hurt him tonight I don’t stop don’t tell him that I’m not my best I cannot part with the feeling inside I’ve not been good to my only man

Mamma 04:50
1 Hey mamma i'll make an army of wild flowers i'll be a tree standing like a tower Hey mamma, i'll be washing away all of your pain, our mistakes I will stand beside you Oh dear rivers dear mountains too I will stand beside you My friends My lovers My darling darling mother 2 Hey mamma I'll call all streams To come Into their power We'll reach the sea Breaking all borders Hey mamma, i'll be washing away all of your pain, our mistakes I will stand beside you Oh dear rivers dear mountains too I will stand beside you My friends My lovers My darling darling mother 3 Make forests not war

Money 04:49
When I was younger I was silly I was silly bigger was better And I felt sorry for myself Common now, i've only seen Love is rich, it's everything I may be a fool, I will survive but There'll be things that money won't buy They say things have changed But It's all money and vain Billboards, TV and now Instagram I saw him make a wish He wants to be real rich Real quick, hey tit, Where do you think money comes from Common now, i've only seen Love is lush, it's everything I may be a fool, I will survive but There'll be things that money won't buy

about

Skin is my next solo record. It speaks about coming home to ourselves.

This record is very personal, it bares my deepest desires and flaws. I write about coming home to myself– and how hard and beautiful that is. Lyrics from the song, Skin: ‘I am sorry I ran away, I am sorry I couldn't come back to say– I’m here for you now, I am home in my skin’.

Other songs talk about the Earth being our home and our third skin. About the similarities of how we treat ourselves and the Earth. Lyrics from the song, Wonder: ‘Oh my body, you are a beauty’.
Also about the domination of women and nature– Lyrics from the song, Mamma, ‘ I will stand beside you, Oh dear rivers dear mountains too...and my darling mother’

The songs explore the theme of oneness– that runs through the record. We are one with the Earth. We are made of her and bear her seeds. The 4th song is called– where money comes from. And the last song, hold me, talks about love. Can we be truthful to ourselves and love truly?
