lyrics
For all of the front
They're putting on
I know they're just like me
Confused with their lives
But on the outside
They're living the fantasy
We spend our time watching each other
Try to act normal but we suffer
Why is self love so damn hard to achieve
It makes no sense to me
Hating on yourself
Just because you're different to somebody else
You have all you need
So don't cry, take the lead
Cause this is what it feels like to be free
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be free
Been breaking my back
Wish I could relax
Don't know why I care so bad
It's almost as though
I'm scared to let go
Of something that I never had
Don't say you don't feel the tension
All the fake smiles and not to mention
Every ideal we try so hard to be
It makes no sense to me
Hating on yourself
Just because you're different to somebody else
You have all you need
So don't cry, take the lead
Cause this is what it feels like to be free
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be free
I'd rather be alone than out tonight
don't mean to be rude but thanks, i'm alright
said i'd rather be alone than out tonight
give me the space to thrive
Step out from that bathroom cubicle
You have the strength so use it all
If you don't wanna be here say goodbye
Who said that you were born to live a lie?
Don't bow down to the usual
The fear that you carry isn't who you are
Who you are
Who you are
It makes no sense to me
Hating on yourself
Just because you're different to somebody else
You have all you need
So don't cry, take the lead
Cause this is what it feels like to be free
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be
This is what it feels like to be free

Written, performed and produced by emzae. Mastered by Luca Martello.
This EP is deftly, cleverly constructed. It balances a tight control against a sense of wild whimsy, a clean construction against some delightfully messy noise, and a powerfully melodic sensibility against a willingness to be jarring and surprising. Great stuff! markbeall
The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
Sweetly melancholy bedroom pop is rarely as actually vulnerable and personal as it is in this Australian artist's hands. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2018
The self-proclaimed "Latnix Future" artist blends Latin jazz, synthpop, and spoken word to emotional, transcendental effect. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 10, 2019
