about

"Beautiful Mess" in partnership with Lifeline WA. Raising awareness for mental health, dedicated to and in loving memory of the late Richard Lane.
The song itself deals with the struggles of mental illness in a world thats ever changing and challenging. The highs and lows of life and that little fire inside that we all try to keep burning so that we never give up. But its also a reminder to keep fighting the fight, walking through the fire and reaching for the sky. A celebration of self determination, surviving another day and the resilience to just keep going despite how tough it can be.

lyrics

Well I've been walking for miles I've been walking for weeks
Got a heavy heart got some broken feet
Well I've been walking for miles walking out of sync
I put myself on the edge
I put myself not the edge

And I will lay myself down
And I will lay myself down
It's such a beautiful mess

Well I've been walking for miles I've been walking for days
Shuffling through the darkness
Shuffling through the darkness
Well I've been following these footsteps I've been following my heart
Starting over again, Is this really the start

And I will lay myself down
And I will lay myself down
And I will play the clown
And I will lay myself down
It's such a beautiful mess

I will lay myself I will lay my death
I will be at my best until my very last breath
For this life for this dream for my soul I will sing
For my life for my song for the place I belong

And I will climb up high
And I will reach the sky
And I will climb up high
And I will reach the sky
It's such a beautiful mess
