NTHN (UK) - REINTRODUCTION lyrics

You can call this one an intro
'Cause I've been gone for some time
You might have seen me around
But something's been missing for a while

To the ones who've been with me so far
And if it's the first time
That you're hearing me
I promise you that this is just the start

A couple times I've thought
About giving it up i'd be lying if I said
I've never considered it
Especially when you're giving so much
And it feels like no one's listening
But I don't do it for the pay
'Cause I barely make a penny from it
Not for the plays
'Causе I don't get too many of them
But this is my way of saying
What I've fеlt for too long
For too long I used to
Think I'd never need to

Had to find a way to express
It so began with Awake
And now it sounds like I'm
Back in my old ways

Two years later, it was Paths
A story across ten tracks
But still had too much to say

Another year down the line
I decided that I'd had enough of hiding
And that's when I wrote Tides

And Delta had the most honest
Tracks I've ever put out
But still I find myself with so
Much more to talk about

I spent a year locked inside
These walls and my mind
Watching the world through a Skylight
Thinking 'bout my life and
Every compromise I've made
Only to find myself wishing that I'd stayed

More true to the values that I once had
To the version of myself that I once was
But when I look back to those days
I guess I'm kinda glad that I left some of
Those qualities behind because

I never really used to care for myself
I was never the type to put myself first
Giving everything I could
With no appreciation
Often at the expense of my self-worth

That's why I wanna say the words I
Wish I'd heard at my lowest
To share the parts of me I
Used to never wanna show
So I'm never stopping as long as
I've got something to say
Now I'm back and this time I'm here to stay
