Like Rain 02:43
Like Rain The wind was howling your name As stars fell through night skies, like rain The ground, a heavenly white Lone footprints thread a lace-like divide The distant lights grew dull As darkness deceived the glow into its lull Beneath a bellowing skyline I implored, new reasons to hide As I ached beneath the weight those already mine Now there’s nowhere for me to go
2.
If Only You Could Speak Like a blistering sun might haze Your midnight eyes From a silent world it came A love, I don’t understand A love that wears me down Now I’m sinking deeper still And the blood might flow Try to lose my grip try to stray Outside, I just waste away If only you could speak I can hear you Calling to me Though so fierce you Paint it so bleak Like a blistering sun might haze Your midnight eyes If only you would sleep I still hear you Calling to me Though so fierce you Paint it so bleak

A Longing 05:48
A Longing Daylight a veil to the eyes The burden to be free A longing for silence Is weighing on me Forever, oh what have I done? Or what will I become? Not clandestine not bright Atone For me So lay back, make your mistakes Let your mistakes make you The longing, the violence Atones (Ahhhh Ahhhh) For me (Ahhhh Ahhhh) So let go And crush the need to feel The cold lie Stand tall The crushing need to be To belong Stand down… Sunrise Sundown Tireless repeat X3 End

Grey Into White Out of the corner it slipped from my mind, fell into my eyes Now if she were to go I don’t think I could ever cope As if by mistake it fell from the ashes onto my plate To touch, to taste What had began as a night turned everything from grey into white This I stole And also I took from you everything that I could do I took, I took and I took and I took, then I took some more And you, you gave and you gave How could I? And you, you gave and you gave it all So I said to myself If I could do good by her I might do something of worth I may find this to be wrong But I think I should try So I pushed everything to the side Said to myself this is do or die And those who will push me to feign Are those who have lost and have nothing to gain They will never change The weight that you took from my mind It helped to hear, it opened my eyes And not that you’d ever believe I’ll never lose sight of the woods for the trees So I pushed everything to the side Said to myself this is do or die And those who will push me to feign Are those who have lost and have nothing to gain They will never change

Sheltered 08:18
Sheltered Don’t be scared Place that hand on your eyes And don’t ask why If answers might lead you to lies So break your mould It only keeps you in the cold A time to hold A time to let everything go And you will open you heart For me it was easy and it’s always been so So cause your scene Without it life’s ever serene Split from the seems Hold to all you can be And you will open you heart For me it was easy and it’s always been so
6.
Promises To Dust I try to gain your trust Seeking your acceptance I try too hard I’ll always keep this cross, safe and at my side As ties begin to rust We’re leaning and expecting If time could hold The thought of giving up the fear of going on Seeking your acceptance I play your stupid game Play your stupid game From promise through to dust I follow your deception I try so hard To free myself from truth but it’s opening my eyes But before we break the glass Let’s give it some reflection, reflection No words too cold Seeking your acceptance I play your stupid game Play your stupid game Play your stupid game Play your stupid game Play your stupid game Play your stupid game Seeking your acceptance I play your stupid game Play your stupid game
7.
Alibi 06:59
Alibi Ever fading light I’ll stare until I’m bright Hoping for a sign Drink your blood as wine Pray all day then sin all night Only a fool would ever slave to this love I want you by my side A voice in which I can confide You can be my alibi The emptiness in pride Is as the moon unto the tide Only a fool would ever slave to this love Ever failing plight Clench my knuckles white Hoping for an afterlife Only a slave would ever fool with this love Only a fool would ever slave to this love
8.
Release Your Hold Hold close to me So close you can feel my heart beat Taste the tears you share with my cheek And tell me… The rewards of an undying patience Fill the cracks in our crumbling relations But this everlasting dedication ran out of steam And needs to sleep Count on a single thing When not apart we’re soon to be parting Oh this never-ending love and waiting has taken its toll Release your hold

about

Olly Jenkins Montpellier, France

Vider une église, n’en garder que les murs. Laisser les harmonies frôler les pierres et monter vers les voûtes. Ne croire ni aux espoirs fallacieux ni aux désespoirs faciles. Chercher avec une âpreté mélodieuse et céleste quelque chose de la transcendance pure :

Olly Jenkins est né au Pays de Galles et a commencé à jouer sur les scènes de Manchester avant d’arriver à Montpellier en 2010.
