I think I’m losing my mind Would you tell me, would you tell me if I’m Going to loose yeah if I’m going too loose I think I’m over possessive, obsessive I know I know what I feel, yeah I know what I feel, do you? Distance, break down at the sight of it Lost love, lost mates, lost sight of life a bit The world’s crumbling beneath or toes and everybody knows But we’ll die before we’re made to look stupid. Touch ground, love sounds flutter in the air like Cupid is here, in my ear Say you want me, say you do, say you’re lonely I am too Require validation. Maybe that’s the point that I am making, write about mistakes and then I go and do the same thing Why should you care about the steps that I am taking? I’m just spilling words (stop) without even aiming (always gonna) Latch on, latch off, shit either way All in need of an outlet we can hideaway All in favour we just try, please say I Yeah all in favour we just try, please say I. I think I’m losing my mind Would you tell me Would you tell me if I’m losing time. Time costs, I’m lost, lost in the same old froth, Happy hereon’t wake me from my slumber, deep in the hours I’ve been under. Times like the sun leave you sunburnt No returns and very little guarantee, I think you’ve earned to rest your tired tappy feet Sit back look back upon the beach, The more you overthink the stress the worse it’s gonna be so… Mum, I know at times you feel done Possibly numb when the pain is at the door again I understand you are just another human being now Not immune to feeling down, who is? I did wonder where I got the overthinking from Breaking into tears because once again another year is gone Pour yourself a gin, indulge in the sin of it.

If only my bones had a pass to the fast track, Sitting on my own with a glass at the bar that Bar back was a mate and they fled from the city out the gates Some come some go yet I know Faced with a foe hearts got broke Pose for the phone Home and alone tone down with the noise, can’t quite think and I’m restless Then it starts: its on top, Pains in the brain and the thoughts can stop Maybe a touch would fix this or maybe that’s just a temporary wish-list So put the armour back on and just step out the door And hope that the clouds don’t pour. Yeah I hope that the clouds don’t pour My backs against my bed, but I want to be in yours instead Stumbling home I know the way, the way, the way, the way Mumbling on I know the way, the way, the way My backs against my bed, but I want to be in yours instead Stumbling home I know the way, the way, the way, the way Mumbling on I know the way, the way, the way Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah easy mate How you doing? (Not great) Yeah easy mate Pass by slight look in the eye I was ashamed I didn’t ask for a pint. (Why?) See, not many mates know my recent state, I’ve been carrying a weight that could be hard to relate, so, to pass by is an easier way, than to sit and distribute the weight. Look, See: bad news, dark truths, dark secrets, not the youngest any more but still sleepless. The families grown now, I couldn’t be more proud, considering the roots that have harboured it, grandfathered it, but we’re still here. Good people got scars that have shaped us. And I say this to all of my mates, big love never short of a hug. My backs against my bed, but I want to be in yours instead Stumbling home I know the way, the way, the way, the way Mumbling on I know the way, the way, the way My backs against my bed, but I want to be in yours instead Stumbling home I know the way, the way, the way, the way Mumbling on I know the way, the way, the way

Notice 02:08
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (x2) Look at that wind blown tree Sittin’ there in the sea breeze All it sees is sea See, we Try so hard to break free When it’s so easy to let go So easy to hold on, and on, and on Still singing to the same old songs Way too drunk singing ain’t nothing wrong (ain’t nothing wrong) Swear there ain’t nothing wrong Don’t believe me that’s fine I just think we need time To just think about why Some of us can’t stop Simply no self control Some of us on a one way street Think purely of ourselves Some care so much about others Ignore their own bad health What about if that’s all okay If we notice our ways and try to make change Are we aware of pain I choose to ignore and blame on another See when I feel something that’s real I pretend it’s not to confuse the plot (confuse the plot) Maybe it’s worse that we’re aware To let it slide, say it’s alright, pretend that we’re not scared like Look at that wind blown tree Sittin’ there in the sea breeze All it sees is sea See, we Try so hard to break free.

Yeah we’re cooking tagliatelle, watching something stupid on telly Someone’s singing in the shower yeah I think it’s Teddy Sipping on a bevvy filling up the belly heavy, stop. Sit down and just breathe a bit. Cooking something else but you can’t just eat a bit. Step lightly in the night see walls like paper I can hear Mike’s vapour, I can hear it from the first floor I think that you deserve more, Now I’m stalling let me move back give space let’s make this a new track The walls are spotty from the blu tack posters of the past make me laugh don’t assume that… You’re not welcome cus you always are, come for a cuppa any time just press start Just press start we could play just dance, shouting up the stairs yeah I’m going shop who cares Get us a tinny and a can of lilt swiftly blu knocked his head this is the sound it spilt: I can’t believe where the times gone, still not a clue which path I’m on, cutting about under red skies I can’t comprehend how the time flies. Catch us cheffing up aromas, bozos slumped on the sofas, two magpies out the window, two for joy but we’ll let the wind blow Tagliatelle on the stove top, mix the garlic with a rough chop. Add the vino and the other stuff but we always save enough for another glass Tagliatelle on the stove top, mix the garlic with a rough chop. Add the vino and the other stuff but we always save enough for another glass.

Rest 03:13
All you see ain’t all you need so Cold concrete beneath my feet I think I found what I was finally looking for A cold city full of warm peeps I can see a home far outside the door Cold concrete beneath my feet I think I found what I was finally looking for A cold city full of warm peeps I can see a home far outside the door Left my keys at home, petered on and looked to further The bumpy path on which I’m traveling on to keep a purpose Something that I’ll never find but yet it’s always there At times it disappears and leaves you with fuck all to care Yeah But I’m on your side I won’t run nor hide You gotta see past all the bullshit Just pass us the ball quick, yeah Please stay with me now Don’t go, I know How easy it is to turn things off You found peace for a minute but now that’s lost so Rest your head Don’t settle in the mess Look forward the pain’s cornered Yeah it feels as though there’s no escape You gotta push past the nonsense and phone a mate Yeah Cold concrete beneath my feet I think I found what I was finally looking for A cold city full of warm peeps I can see a home fire outside the door Cold concrete beneath my feet I think I found what I was finally looking for A cold city full of warm peeps I can see a home far outside the door The way you close your eyes so peacefully Stay until the morning comes, please Scary I know, to let yourself be vulnerable Pick it up where we left it I can’t help but assess things And my doubts ain’t the best thing But your strength is clear and I rate that You’ve got eyes on the back of your head And if I ever fucked up or made a mistake I’m sure that you’d have me dead

I can see the stars from here I can feel the heat from here, down. Can you show me the way? Feel like I’m gonna drown, take me. I can see the stars from here I can feel the heat from here, down. Can you show me the way? Feel like I’m gonna drown, so tell me: Would you let me drown and smile while I sleep? Insecure would play it down so fuck me I don’t even see the point in getting dressed some days Thinking of the times that you would say my name I’m aware of the mistakes that I made Chase the paper do you really think I’m evil as darth vader? I’m not, la la la la la. Well, see through BB guns, seaside chips and sun, tequila, tequila Timberlakes senorita memories I will keep yeh I can see the stars from here I can feel the heat from here, down. Can you show me the way? Feel like I’m gonna drown. Yeah I’m aware of the mistakes that I made. Lost a couple pieces of the puzzle, Along the way I put my feet deep in the puddle Confused of my direction for some months but, I’m happy in the dark without a compass, come past Just knock on the door, if I’m in I’m sure I’ll hear you cus I’m on the first floor Finally learnt how to talk how to walk with my head high eyes dart, hands shake, lose the goosebumps Winds cold like ice cream my tooth’s numb Never settle for less Do what you need to relieve your stress, but be aware that we are all on the same boat, take note From every little moment You can’t see it on your screen you can’t flee from every scene you can’t air life. You’ve got to wake up and reply. Wake up and reply, this isn’t a dream.

Postcode 02:50
I didn’t think I’d find myself here Waiting for the last bus home I can’t forget the fucking postcode I can’t believe I don’t know I tell myself I need to calm down I’ve lost sight of what is true But that noise is unbearable Like they’re drilling through the roof So I get back into bed again Like that’s gonna fix a thing All the frustration, pain rings, fists clenched Yeah before I even blink Well I can’t give up and yet I can give in Like the ghosts are so close they could almost touch my skin Yeah yeah (x3) It seems this path is coming to an end now But I can’t find another lane I really didn’t think that I could get this way And I can’t even feel the pain It seems this path is coming to an end now But I can’t find another lane I really didn’t think that I could get this way And I can’t even feel the pain Tell me that I’m selfish Tell me that I’m blind Well tell me that you’re alright While you look me in the eye Well tell me if you’re not good yeah if you’re not fine I’ve been taking steps for the very first time Now I can see that it’s so easy to sink in I didn’t think I’d find myself here Waiting for the last bus home I can’t forget the fucking postcode I can’t believe I don’t know

44 Save All 03:57
I said it's all good, don't worry. We used to play, 44 save all There was food on the table They were moments that made all of me Now I wonder home lost alone, lost alone With broken bones, I take a mo to, Simmer down I stubbed my toe on the door Same day I also found a fiver on the floor 4 am when I rest my head I guess I'm not morning led Lemon honey tea's when the breeze gets the better of me I can't see what you see so tell me what's the recipe Quite like drugs but they're not necessity Keep my hopes low, it was meant to be, it was meant to be I was at breaking point, Lying in bed with my aching joints When my brain had the same pain Aching for days with a dim lit light left on When it's sunny outside yeah I can't write songs I guess I lost sight of a plan that was never there Hold my hand if a moment is ever spare And if not it's all good we can leave it bare. We used to play, 44 save all There was food on the table They were moments that made all of me Now I wonder home lost alone, lost alone With broken bones, I take a mo to, We used to play, 44 save all There was food on the table They were moments that made all of me Now I wonder home lost alone, lost alone With broken bones, I take a mo to, Simmer Down. Don't rush hold up, He said when you hit low you can only hit higher Well I'll think he was a liar Cause lows kept comin' like a California fire And as my toes burned on the gravel A few things clicked, few thoughts unravelled Like, I can just breathe for a sec Take a step back and just leave for a sec Cause the signs get twisted, state lifted Where the pain won't rise, yeah, the paint subsides I can vouch for that, Last week I had a knife to my throat now I'm bouncing back Yeah my mind feels numb like my face does, Yet my hopes left high cause I'm stubborn Guess I'll go home in the daylight And hope there's some food in the cupboard We used to play, 44 save all There was food on the table They were moments that made all of me Now I wonder home lost alone, lost alone With broken bones, I take a mo to, Simmer Down. We used to play, 44 save all There was food on the table They were moments that made all of me Now I wonder home lost alone, lost alone With broken bones, I take a mo to

Bert's debut EP 'It's all gd, dw' is a collection of eight tracks written over the past few years. The project is a bare and honest outpouring of thoughts about separation, loss, and everyday highs and lows.

His natural tone and blasé, matter-of-fact delivery are accompanied by his own production and instrumentals, effortlessly spinning catchy choruses and drawing the listener close into his sometimes poignant yet innocently relatable narrative.
