Fear 05:35
I knew it this time, this time I knew it well As I lay in the ocean where I found your shell The wind was whipping, whirling outside As I knew it well, I came to what I could not hide What I could not hide Fear follows close behind Fear trickles down our family lines Fear makes us so unkind I fear we’re running out of time You keep me at arms length and still you want my time I’ve tried to understand and I’ll keep trying But I cannot care for someone who won’t let me So we close ourselves inevitably To what could be Fear follows close behind Fear trickles down our family lines Fear makes us so unkind I fear we’re running out of time Yeah, you’re right I don’t know you Yeah, you’re right I don’t know you I would like to have known you At least I know now What I’ll go through What I’ll go through Fear follows close behind Fear trickles down our family lines Fear makes us so unkind I fear we’re running out of precious time I fear we’re running out of precious time I fear we’re running out of precious time I fear we’re running out of time

Small 03:18
Drawn to you from afar We don’t seem to meet, where we both are Stories inform, my bed is still warm The way you left it, I could have guessed each time I should really let it all go I should really let you know I should really let it all go I should really let you know Are you looking for a quick fix? Strong women really make you tick Am I special? Or just another name on your list Am I unique? Or just another one in your sheets I should really let it all go I should really let you know I should really let it all go I should really let you know Thoughts spinning round in my head Of what I might have changed for you instead When the writings on the wall You’ll be alone and so small

The Garden 04:51
Don’t know where the path goes, Well it seems I’m not alone Spend years tilling all this ground, Some day it will all be stone Look to stars and tarot cards To find peace and deeper meaning, While the world around me Sinks into comfort and convenience Well I waste so much time Yeah it’s true Well I waste so much time Yeah I do Familiar faces, take shape in different places And the earth shifts under my feet New life grows in those spaces unknown There’s beauty in the deepest defeat Sowing seeds in the thick of the heat Will never do them no good They need love and grace And to move at one pace Care like you said you would Well I waste so much time Yeah it’s true Well I waste so much time Yeah I do Someday I’ll plant a garden, That I might live in a life in With all my favourite flowers I’d lay in it for hours I’d lay in it for hours But now I’m just too tired Well I waste so much time Yeah it’s true Well I waste so much time Yeah I do

Swell 04:26
Said you wanted to be alone, So I’ll pack my things and go home Said you wished to be by yourself But I waited, wished I’d ran like hell In this moment, keep moving No time to dwell Now I lie, awake alone Let the emptiness of winter fill my home I think of you with someone else Freedom is a truth, you claim to know well In this moment, you’re lying To yourself Carving space to be alone, All I hear are the sounds of the waves roll on Oh this feelings just like a spell, Takes some courage to convince ourselves In this moment, we’re all waiting On the swell
5.
I don’t understand how you push me away The look on your face, like you’ve got nothing to stay Words are fleeting in our case Learned everything I needed to know from your gaze Start exactly where you are In the humming of the quiet The moon she moves in phases And still keeps the night sky lit If you breathe you won’t lose it I know that you’ve come this far Picked up the pieces, mended your broken heart Time and time again, you’ve welcomed learning You are wise, you are brave, you are strong Your fire’s burning Start exactly where you are In the humming of the quiet The moon she moves in phases And still keeps the night sky lit If you breathe you won’t lose it I’ll pick up, walk around, walk away Wake up with the sun, give light and love to the day A quiet mind, evades time It’s true Pull on the strings, weave them behind me and you Start exactly where you are In the humming of the quiet The moon she moves in phases And still keeps the night sky lit If you breathe you won’t lose it

about

dear listener,

this is my baby debut EP under this project, it is my whole heart, my garden if you will. I hope that you relate to the themes of care/patterns present, and also find your own memory and meaning in the songs. Isolation, solitude, pain, love and healing are all common experiences but also very personal to each of us, so I hope you, listener, are able to take away whatever meaning comes up for you while also leaning into that we are all connected by a common thread, and that thread is allowing ourselves to feel, even when it might be hard to.

love,

Belle Tower ✿

special thanks to my family + olivia + alejandra for
your unwavering support
