jakemurray A powerful, accomplished and brutally personal record about learning to live with yourself and find a place in the world. Absolutely breathtaking from beginning to end, covering a canyon of terrain from rich beautiful soundscapes to pigging filthy riffs ripping off heads and taking no prisoners. Bravo! Favorite track: Twin Humanities.

Siren 05:59
I still remember The taste in my mouth A new disappointment The feeling without I'm so lost I need a hand Someone to hold Anyone who'll understand I can't get this back Get this back The clutch in my soul So empty and wide Unable to find The beauty inside This city Is not my friend I can't keep moving These goalposts again Am I just broken down Broken down Fool on the hill Still wasting my time Unable to break Their troubles or mine Stranger things Have happened at sea Don't mind him Don't mind me We're all just Floating on Floating on So let her pull me Onto the rocks With salt in my hair I'll praise what I've got She gave Me no choice But she has called me here With summer's voice Am I just waiting here Waiting here Am I just waiting here Waiting here

Twins 06:30
The first day I arrived I saw your spirit in the shadows of The harsh fluorescent light But every road must end I’m tired of expecting the pain to come And visit me again But I’m stronger Than you ever gave me credit for And I’ve spent my hours wailing On my childhood bedroom floor And now you’ve sailed so far off from Our unknown With your house and your life and your kids And your accelerated milestones Well I hope that you know And thank God I survived I’m moving further than they ever could Accomplish in their lives But still you haunt my dreams I’m tried to understand these images To find out what they mean And I miss my friends so fucking much You wouldn’t know I’m a nomad now You’ve taken so much away I worked so hard for But I won’t give the satisfaction Of giving up this chain reaction I can still repair this broken soul But I won’t waste my breath on them And I won’t make these mistakes again But I can’t hate the beauty inside of you No I can’t hate the beauty inside of you Because I know I’ll find my way back through This weathered dirt Restrained by no one who cares To count my worth And I’m so sorry for trying to care But I can’t take our friendship And bring it elsewhere And I hope to meet you both some day I hope to meet you both some day I hope that you know I hope that you know my dear I hope that you know That I’ll miss you for all these years Well I hope that you know

Ringdance 04:16
Sit down There is no way back Turn around You are the monster of the pack Fuck them all
 They don’t deserve to kneel at our feet We don’t need These responsibilities Cos they’re just strangers in our room And we’ll be seeing them out soon We are the monarchs of our street And when we fuck We feel the beat No more lovers left for dead We can make our own instead We’ll be dancers in the night We’ll be dancers in the night And you always took me for another Let me sway To the break To the saints that led My heart astray Cos there will always be a part A creeping darkness in my heart A port to let the rains descend And flow right in We are the ones who were displaced But there's a rhythm to this place A chance to give into the feel And let them in Stop listening to them Listening to us Listening to us Stop listening to them Listening to us Listening to us

I’m afraid the storm will come And blow me back towards This dying sun Unlock the secrets of the past The minds fragility Not built to last Please throw the switch off and let it go We’re the ones who know We’re the ones who know We’ll build it one piece at a time Because what’s yours is mine What’s yours is mine Your faults Always painted white inside the lines A hibernating wraith that dined inside We stayed awake for seven years Another break another month of fear Of missing out our finest days Under this shade Under this shade Unloved to take I'll let them fade away It's not the mask I'll wear To show my bravest face I'm sick of hiding them away I need to let your cold embrace Give way to warmer days And salt the earth And fade away We can't wait for summer rains To make new memories To make a change I'm still the man I was before But I can't see myself here Any more I need to turn this all around Before I lose my ground Before I lose my ground Before I lose my ground And face this unprepared to change I'll still regret calling your name I'll still regret calling your name

Dawnspeak 06:05
I’m I’m ashamed Just to speak out Because this distance Is killing me Take me away In the blackout Nobody else Needs to see I’m just a man With no anchor No place to call My own I can’t resolve All my senses Please steal my heart Take me home Take me home It’s more than we could say It’s better than the dawn that starts to break A casual reminder of how I feel each and every day Another star to guide us on our way And look with pride at what we made When we've grown old And there's nothing left Hurtling around A burdened star We'll stay attached Gripping tighter Before the lights descend And break apart But we'll be okay When the waves crash My darling you're all I need Five years from now We'll be stronger The future's not ours to see But I'm not scared when you're with me And we'll always change In the way That your parents used to say And I can't wait For our world And we'll still be here Still be here Still be here Still be here If that's what you deserve I spent the whole night in a seizure Wanting to tell you what I Thought about your eyes And how they made my chest burst Every time You looked at me Cos you're a force of nature And I'm always amazed And afraid But I don't want to wait any longer To say what I need to say to you But I But I missed my chance

We Need Love 03:22
My spirit’s draining As we walked across the sand, Darling I needed shelter When you took another hand Don’t you Try to remember All these arrogant designs We can live without each other But we can’t live without our minds We need Love I feel it burning out I feel it burning out This race is done There is nothing they can do to stop us We're not together now I don't remember how To belong to any one With something lost Before we won (We need) Love

Afterlife 06:22
You're a saint You know you saved my life that night You know You're a superhero Banished from the hive brain Where do they bury our souls When we expire Do they cross the gorge that Leads beyond the predatory sky Cos all the words are falling off my Fragile tongue onto the concrete floor My resting place won't be the same again And all our friends are sat below In the endless summer's glow And I'll wish them all the best days to arrive And see them in the afterlife I'm a fool I fucked things up so badly for us two And I know why My hindsight is more painful Than my pride Let's give them all new names And relocate their final days To somewhere they can start to feel alive Our anger doesn't have to be The way they will remember me I need to fix this before I say goodnight And see them in the afterlife Burn their wings I'm terrified of the power they still Hold over me This LCD has been my only Company And I have so much more to give And I have so much more to give And I have so much more to give And I have so much more to give

I’ve finally found What I’m looking for If all the space and time between us had Rid us of our problems We’d be one But if they’ve found their passion Then why does that make me passionless I’m sick of saying nothing I’m tired of hearing Vacuous excuses And attempts to reconnect They let eleven years go by Not saying a single thing I will never be one of them I am just a human being And I gave them so much more time Than they deserved If all the hours spent on motorways And rainy service stations Corresponded with their worth So where are you tonight When I’m seizing every day I have (You’re not alone, not alone, Everyone here loves you) I put the past where it belongs And found a place with friends who’ll Always have my back (You’re not alone, not alone, Everyone here loves you) And they let eleven years go by Not saying a single thing I will never be one of them I am just a human being All these videos and photographs Won’t bury our mistakes But we’re not gonna live forever And we’ve got no time to waste When our paths are crossed and overused And the nights get longer with each move There will come a day we won’t have to choose And I hope you get to where you’ve always wanted And I can’t wait to see you soon And I can’t wait to see you soon But if I let you go I know I'll never feel the same again It's hard to lose a lover more than when you've Made the work to lose them as a friend These will be my last words for you I can't bear to fall apart At your name Or your face Or the things I can't replace Because I'm certain that there's something out there Moving into reach Oh my God I know there's someone out there I'm not alone I'm not alone And they let eleven years go by Not saying a single thing I will never be one of them I am just a human being All these videos and photographs Won’t bury our mistakes But come on now We all love you All things are falling into place When our paths are crossed and overused And the nights get longer with each move There will come a day we won’t have to choose And I hope you get to where you’ve always wanted And I can’t wait to see you soon You're not alone You're not alone

Faces overwhelmed The Light seems to scatter off The surface of The mountain where we lay Wonders deconstructed Alone left in these Ruins to decay Take my only conscience Remove all these harrowing permissions And understand how little we have left We will burn our village Remove the locks and pillage our New conquest Our home away from They are Almost perfect Removed from our humanity A role model for all we’ve come to hate You can Find another A wound to fix Another leg To break Say it again I dare you I’m not one of your friends This is the way it started This is the way it ends

When looking out we saw the cause Can you let my heart beat for a second Even if it’s connected to yours The plates are shifting underfoot And I don’t have the energy to stop them Even if they’re telling me I should What did you think Of my tattered clothes and bed sheets Of my lack of space to drink And I’m ashamed Of all my false starts I’m not exactly sure What I’m here for With all these broken parts And now I’m sleeping with your ghost Needing nothing more than cold encounters Praying for the day I turn to stone I can’t afford what they have sold Because our lives are spilling through our fingers And I’m so terrified of growing old When does this end Does it disappear completely Or do I have the chance to make amends And I’m afraid Of what lies ahead Do I tell them that I love them Or do I lose my closest friend Take this from me And just forget my name I don’t want their opinions I don’t deserve to feel your pain Give me a chance And let me leave with grace If our souls are twinned as one Then why does this link fade

about

Album XI. If anyone is counting. I have never spent so long making something.

"Twin Humanities" is an album is about connections. I wrote the lyrics for myself, for those I care about, and for those I haven't met yet.


It's for anyone who has hurt themselves, or let themselves be hurt by others.

It's for anyone who has had to live forever with not telling someone how they felt.

It's for anyone who has worked hard to grow into a better person.

It's for anyone who has learned to love themselves, even when that seems impossible.

This album wouldn't ever have been finished without the continued support of my friends and family over the past three years. You know who you are. If you're reading this, then odds are you're one of them.

Thanks for not letting me quit. I love you all so, so very much.
