Cutting loose Walking free Within these walls A mockery Everything on show For all to see No holding back The mystery Never detached From this mind Avoid these dreams Clearly defined The day passes But fails to begin Powerless The night sets in

You were my anomaly But now So unfamiliar so quickly Little more than a phase Losing attention Regret for treating this so patiently And I'll Speak my truth so quietly Little more than a phase Faking affection ...and here I am

there will be monsters 03:26

Taking steps And making tracks Across the pavement Minding all of them cracks But along the way there will be monsters Never walking The straight line Taking shortcuts And making time But along the way there will be monsters Don’t count on it Being smooth Or keeping To a groove You must fall to reassess what the hell is going on Never knowing What is mine Just deviating All of the time And along the way there will be monsters

I don’t know where it But I’ll always find my way home If you don’t like the sour taste You’ll need to stop sucking on lemons Fading over time I don’t know where it But I’ll always find my way home

helicopter 07:32
lyrics

Soul is heavy, skin wafer thin Eyes burn like embers, desperation seeps in Acclimated to perpetual transitioning Nothing old, nothing new I can’t breathe, let me go Truths from the unspoken Oh companion Grateful for warmth etched into memory Awakened to beautiful possibilities Curse the notoriety of unpredictability As the sun sets beauty will fade As the earth spins youth will wane As sure as I offer no chains Oh companion

about

"The bottom line is, this is a beautifully, beautifully realised piece of music."
- Nightshift

"Much was attempted in this track, and much was achieved; Mosa is an exciting force in the local music scene, and his upcoming EP is one to anticipate."
- OMS

"...Mosa evidently has a talent for creating immersive worlds. If anyone can exhibit the intrinsic beauty in melancholy, it is Mosa; his latest single, 'helicopter', is the ultimate testament to his ability to build poetry and a bittwer-sweet-neo-classical electronica score from scorned emotion."
- A&R Factory
