about

I recorded "Rip Up The Rulebook" in my tiny garden studio, nestled on the edge of Dartmoor.

I've battled a lot with perfectionism, and I wanted this to be my first release because of it's message: we're all gonna die, so just enjoy yourself!

lyrics

LYRICS:

I'm not afraid
Everything I do won't matter one day
Can't hesitate
Life's gonna leave ya behind if you're late
(Take it away)

We're on borrowed time
Rip up the rulebook
It's wasting your life
We're on borrowed time
Rip up the rulebook
It's wasting your life
We're on borrowed time

When was somebody gonna tell me
The world would try to hold me down?
If I ever shake hands with failure
I'll have two fingers crossed behind my back

I'm not afraid
Everything here was meant to happen this way
Move at my pace
May I remind you Rome weren't built in a day?
(Not one day)

We're on borrowed time
Rip up the rulebook
It's wasting your life
We're on borrowed time
Rip up the rulebook
It's wasting your life
We're on borrowed time

I'm not afraid
All my mistakes, I know time will erase
I'll separate
From all of my fear on the side of the stage
(Take 'em away)

We're on borrowed time
Rip up the rulebook
It's wasting your life
We're on borrowed time
Rip up the rulebook
It's wasting your life
We're on borrowed time

When was somebody gonna tell me
The world would try to hold me down?
If I ever shake hands with failure
I'll have two fingers crossed behind my back
Ah
