Overseas I 03:04
Think of the long trip home Should we have stayed home and thought of here Where should we be today? Is it right to be watching strangers in a play, in this strangest of theatres? What childness is it, that while there's a breath of life in our bodies, we continue to rush to see the sun, the other way around? The tiniest green hummingbird in the world To stare at some inexplicable old stonework Inexplicable and impenetrable, at any view Instantly seen and always, always delightful Oh must we dream our dreams and have them too? Or have we room, for one more folded sunset? Still quite warm

Overseas II 04:31
Time in motion now Missing out Every milestone passed You're all grown Living life in parts Home without a heart Torn between two stars

Martyr 05:36
Do you wanna die on this cross? Do you wanna die on this cross? Do you wanna die on this cross, nailed to the wood like a relic, like a martyr from the past? Wandering around like a lost soul, bleedin' from your heartbeat Do you wanna die on this cross, nailed to the wood like a relic, like a martyr from the past? Wandering around like a lost soul, bleedin' from your heartbeat, readin' 'bout a drug cheat, wondering...is there anything left to mourn? Sittin' in their golden towers Sittin' in their golden towers Sittin' in their golden towers, lookin' at the Earth, at the hole, at the organs in the dirt 'Til the end of time they will tell you, it's in the name of science Sittin' in their golden towers, lookin' at the Earth, at the hole, at the organs in the dirt, 'til the end of time they will tell you, it's in the name of science, ordinant defiance, stuttering...j just another thing to mourn Drivin' down another highway, listenin' to the world, to the roar, to the man with all the facts Oh what kind of world do we live in Conscience hypocritic Movement paralytic Lawyers parasitic Consequence horrific Needlessly acidic

Mantra II 07:41
I am not the night I am not the slumber I am not the dark I am not the dawn I am not the daybreak I am not the grey I am not the shadow I am not the cold I am not the past I am not the silence I am not the cloud I am not the tears I am the brightness of day I am the sun I am the warmth

You didn't need to tell me you're brilliant I was always on your side If it's about being cool, I've got no skin in the game I'd rather be an ugly duckling with a heart Than a peacock devoid of a soul I didn't feel the need to advertise my goods I'm an open book Ask me anything, I've got no answers prepared I'd rather take the scenic route than drive straight there Show me your face Lend me your ear I'm not afraid of your light or your wounds Show me your face We all have our own How long will you keep fighting alone? I shouldn't need to show my credentials I've paid my dues in full Let's get one thing straight, we're on the same fucking team And I won't let this indignation crush my dream Show me your face Lend me your ear I'm not afraid of your light or your wounds Show me your face We all have our own How long will you keep fighting alone?

about

Wolves and Mirrors features the symbiosis of Barnett's disarming songs with the diverse colours of this unusual instrumentation, resulting in what is best described as a kind of fragile beauty.
In addition to her role as a trombonist - for which she is widely known - the bandleader presents herself through Wolves and Mirrors as an experienced lyricist, singer and songwriter and invites the listener into worlds she has previously kept from view.
