Lost Highway 03:18
A cigarette away from cracking down on the dotted line I can't trace Misinterpretations loom, Revelations tainted and in bloom It's harder to find any peace of mind In a constant misdirection, conversations now forgotten This needs a change of scene, a change of style. But my misery still hides in plain sight A looming omen sits behind me in the diner on the only road Questions remain deterred Voices could not be heard A broken yellow line on the lost highway I struggle to stem Faces begin to fade Misfortunes carry me away It's harder to find any peace of mind In a constant misdirection, conversations now forgotten This needs a change of scene, a change of style. But my misery still hides in plain sight A cigarette away from cracking down on the dotted line I can't trace Misinterpretations loom, Revelations tainted and in bloom A broken yellow line on the lost highway I struggle to stem Faces begin to fade Misfortunes carry me away

A compromise left at your door You drive off into the sunset mist The tears still stain the sleeves As the orange hues rise Conversations lose direction This love becomes a misconception Painted smiles fade from your face Your misery a shadow tailing Going far on the train southbound See the sights of the city and find a new home for your heart Going far on the train southbound Find something new to love False promises lose cohesion in the morning light of revelation the neon lights soft comfort in your heart they're always there Going far on the train southbound See the sights of the city and find a new home for your heart Going far on the train southbound Find something new to love Consolation for a mending heart Rain sideways through the neon streets Markets still awake Businessmen light them if they smoke em The busy streets numb the pain The chaos steals the silence It's all you ever need to hide your misery. Going far on the train southbound See the sights of the city and find a new home for your heart Going far on the train southbound Find someone new to love

Mist 03:00
Monday morning, indecision day. I'm sprawled in lost ideas and dreams So what do you suggest I do? I'll always listen to you. Do you know I live day to day with this noise? I can't seem to tune it out. But when it gets too much for me to bear the noises fade when I hear your voice I just want to escape These pointless phone calls Just tell me something new Let's just pack our shit and run into the hills Take me somewhere under the mist, where time means nothing anymore. Do you know I live day to day with this noise? I can't seem to tune it out. But when it gets too much for me to bear the noises fade when I hear your voice

about

"Isles of Sorrow was planned just after I started recording under the Foulness Island handle, Crafted from an array of technical issues, personal frustration and indecision, all recorded in the sweltering comfort of a cramped bedroom with a 335, Casino, drum machine & a temperamental Macbook.

Each track is a optimistic, dreamy and warped look into my daily life & situations I find myself struggling with, thanks to a childhood diagnosis of high-functioning autism, which in turn led to my lyrics for certain tracks taking a surreal, almost cinematic dive.

Lost Highway stems from my inability to maintain focus & explaining myself and becoming frustrated to the point I feel as if I'm driving in circles and hitting dead ends each turn.
Painted Smiles is in the name, about faking your own happiness and how major decisions you make can either work well in your favour, or make everything worse than before.
Isle was more in a similar vein to Lost Highway, similarly about frustration and feeling lost without a guide in unknown territory.
Mist focuses more on my undying wish to disappear."
