Even the blue sky looks grey today
I see that gloom coming my way
I’ve been dragged into this darkness
I let the gravity bring me down deep
Suddenly the ground cracks open and I drop into
This black hole while you watch me fall
So let me be brave, tell you it’s not right
I won’t say it again, I’ve made up my mind
So let me be brave, tell you that I'm done
I won’t say it again, I’m not coming back
I have said yes to too many things
People telling me what I should do
All these voices come from near and far
Stopping me from being who I am
Suddenly the ground cracks open and I drop into
This black hole while you watch me fall
So let me be brave, tell you it’s not right
I won’t say it again, I’ve made up my mind
So let me be brave, tell you that I'm done
I won’t say it again, I’m not coming back
Frustrations inside me
My tears at night solve no problem
My generosity had no limit, but it hurt me
So let me be brave, tell you it’s not right
I won’t say it again, I’ve made up my mind
So let me be brave, tell you that I'm done
I won’t say it again, I’m not coming back
I won't come back, no, I won't come back (x4)

Dominoes

They all know how to play this game
But you know no one cares about how we feel
Off we go to make our Legacy
We line up dominoes through the crowd
We will find our path when the time comes
We will find our path when the time comes
I follow you on this journey
Where the tiles fall, separate from all others
We build our own roads
Stacking stones on the way that they won’t touch
We will find our path when the time comes
We will find our path when the time comes
We will find our path when the time comes
We will find our path when the time comes
We will find our path when the time comes
We will find our path when the time comes

Garden of Eden

Red smoky sky on New Year’s Eve
In the town of Eden
Panic in the air, empty shelves
Queues with the desperate people
Once it was the Garden of Eden
Now it is a living hell
I just want to flee this place
But the roads are burnt
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Asylum seekers, drifting in a haze
Eyeing the last bread
People overflow, in the shelter
Anxious parents and crying children
Once it was the Garden of Eden
Now it is a living hell
I just want to flee this place
But the roads are burnt
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Reckless youth
This night drags on and on
Waiting for midnight
how do they still smile?
Once it was the Garden of Eden
Now it is a living hell
I just want to flee this place
But the roads are burnt
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

Fantasy

Open my eyes and I see you around
You stand up smiling, giving me your applause
Is this a dream? Is this a fantasy?
So I start to dance, to keep your gaze on me
Never want to let go of you
I want you to be mine
Is this a dream or a fantasy?
When I walk a thin line, I think of you
You're right there in front of me,
So I call out to you, I call out to you
Oh but you did not respond
Is this a dream or a fantasy?
So I start to dance, to keep your gaze on me
Never want to let go of you
I want you to be mine
Is this a dream or a fantasy?

Kim Yang Canberra, Australia
Canberra's indie-folk singer-songwriter Kim Yang writes songs that speak from her experiences as a partner, a woman, a
traveller and an insecure soul. Her ethereal sound balances delicately between vulnerability and power.
Her bushfire tribute Garden of Eden was aired on triple J and received a 4.5 stars review from Nkechi Anele, who said: ‘Kim Yang is a force of nature, and she humbles me’
