British singer/songwriter Isaac Gracie made waves in 2015 with "Last Words," a moody lo-fi acoustic track that recalled elements of Jeff Buckley's dark-toned folk-rock. A native of Ealing, West London, Gracie showed musical promise from a young age, singing in Ealing Abbey Choir and writing his first songs at 14. His home-recorded debut EP, Songs from My Bedroom, created enough buzz to land him a deal with Virgin EMI, which began issuing subsequent singles like "All the Burning Lovers" and "Reverie." After the live Songs in Black and White EP in late 2016, Gracie delivered his follow-up studio EP, The Death of You & I, in 2017. Later that year he got to work writing and recording his debut full-length with producer Markus Dravs (Florence + the Machine, Coldplay). The eponymous album arrived in April 2018 with a nationwide tour in support.
Isaac Gracie Terrified Well, I sleep all day And drink all night Just give me one good reason And I'll turn out my light Now I'm terrified Now I'm terrified And I've heard all the people Calling my name But they'll never just see just How I've changed Now I'm terrified Now I'm terrified But I don't wanna be your boy, I wanna be your man But something's got me wrong inside Now I'm looking for the answer I don't understand And darling, I am terrified I'm terrified that maybe I wasn't cut out for this You know, I'm terrified that maybe I wasn't cut out for this And know it's hard to explain How it got this way And people only want to know why But I wish I had an answer that would make it okay The truth is I'm just terrified And I don't need to remember But I wanna' forget Cause there's a hole in my head where I hide my regret Now I'm terrified Now I'm terrified But I don't wanna be your boy, I wanna be your man But something's got me wrong inside And I'm looking for the answer I don't understand And, darling, I am terrified I'm terrified Maybe I wasn't cut out for this You know, I'm terrified That maybe I wasn't cut out for this Know, you can come and save me But you have to take a risk Cause I'm terrified that maybe I wasn't cut out for this I wasn't cut out for this Last Words Fever rising in the setting sun Cocaine in your eyes and bullets in your gun Blood in your nails are you scratching for the fame With a noose round your neck and a needle in your vein Oh and you say How did I get here and can I get back I thought I was having fun, but no I was just looking for the one Always, looking for the one Well, your mind is empty and your heart is cold And now your last routines are getting old People seeing through your web of lies And now they're messing with the demons at war inside Oh and you say How did I get here and can I get back I thought I was having fun, but no I was just looking for the one Always, looking for the one I only ever wanted to be your one I only ever wanted to be your one Be careful what you wish for from this dirty life Cause if you want too much you might lose your mind If you only want the woman you saw on TV Well then your eyes are open but you just can’t see Oh, you say How did I get here and can I get back I thought I was having fun, but no I was just looking for the one Always, looking for the one How did I get here and can I get back I thought I was having fun, but no I was just looking for the one Always, looking for the one How did I get here and can I get back, no I thought I was having fun, but no I was just looking for the one Always, looking for you The Death of You & I Running into one another, outside a cafe in Paris You say you're living with your brother, because he lets you stay rent free But you can't speak the local language and so no matter how you try You say you don't know how you'll manage, since the death of you and I Running into one another, feelings come flooding back again You say you've been with many others, but that it never tastes the same Now you don't know how to feel wiping tears from your eyes Nothing ever felt so real, since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Running into one another, you say you want to run and hide 'Cause you still haven't recovered from the day that our love died So am I wasting all my time tryna make it up to you Well if you said that you were mine there's not a thing that I won't do Since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Said that my sins couldn't be forgiven Praying at the altar but the gods don't listen Life without your love ain't a life worth living Try to go alone but there's something missing I got nothing left since the death of you and I Drunk most nights with no direction Sobriety bites like your last rejection It's been seven long days since the resurrection Remember when your body was my confection I got nothing left since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Since the death of you and I Running On Empty I'm getting in with the wrong crowd I'm talking too loud I think I'm starting to get people down And when I talk about it too much I think they lose touch And then I bury my head in the ground Oh baby how'd you let me get here You said you'd stay here But it feels like you're never around And every time I try to stand up I put my hands up Oh, have you looked at me lately Oh oh oh baby oh oh oh Don't forget me, forget me This is not how we were meant to be I'm running on empty I bought two tickets for the rodeo Just so you know I think I'm tryna get back in your head For all the times you said you knew me You looked right through me While another man lies in my bed Oh baby, look at how you made me I'm going crazy Is this really how you want it to be And every time I try to stand up I put my hands up Oh have you looked at me lately Oh oh oh baby oh oh oh Don't forget me, forget me This is not how we were meant to be I'm running on empty Oh oh oh baby oh oh oh Don't forget me, forget me This is not how we were meant to be I'm

never been so broken and so brave I'll never lose a woman like you, again Wondering when Carry me home Keep my love When you come When you go I don't want to do this anymore We've been down this lonely road once before We've seen it all We know the flaws I don't want to sing another song About the ways I got everything wrong To list it all, just takes too long Wondering when Carry me home Keep my love When you come When you go Wondering when Carry me home Keep my love When you come When you go Keep my love When you come When you go Silhouettes Of You I light the fuse And I watch it burn And somewhere deep inside I know there's a lesson to be learned It's not the crime but the way that we pay for Feelings unmutual You go upstairs And I hang my head Somebody said I let myself down as I crawled into bed I wondered why the hell I'd ever paid for Feelings unmutual I'm tired of living in the shadows These paper walls I can't break through I'm sick of standing by your window Tracing silhouettes of you When it gets dark You light the spark And all the lies I tried to live by start falling apart Whoever knew that it could be so painful Feelings unmutual Now I can't escape These things I've done But my anxieties have promised me the worst is to come So give up living for the life that you paid for Feelings unmutual I'm tired of living in the shadows These paper walls I can't break through I'm sick of standing by your window Tracing silhouettes of you Tracing silhouettes of you Tracing silhouettes of you Tracing silhouettes of you Tracing silhouettes of you I light the fuse And I watch it burn And somewhere deep inside I know there's a lesson to be learned It's not the crime but the way that we pay for Feelings unmutual All In My Mind Tried to find a reason for love I would cross the Styx in a minute or two Looking for my answers from above The only home I knew was for me and you All the things I'm doing to myself Digging holes in my brain trying to hide away You know when it gets bad for your health Things have gotta change 'cause they're not the same But it's all in my mind, all in my mind My cold broke mind It's all in my mind, all in my mind Now I don't even get to be alone Talking ain't as easy when you're down I know you know I'm trying to find the words to say You told me you would always be around But now you're gonna know that we were not okay I'm so afraid of going home So don't you go leave me on my own Baby, why the hell you're acting so cold? I guess I'll never know, guess I'll never know 'Cause it's all in my mind, all in my mind My cold broke mind It's all in my mind, all in my mind My cold broke mind It's all in my mind, all in my mind My cold broke mind It's all in my mind, all in my mind Now I don't even get to be alone Tried to find a reason for love I would cross the Styx in a minute or two Looking for my answers from above The only home I knew was for me and for you Tried to find a reason for love I would cross the Styx in a minute or two Looking for my answers from above The only home I knew was for me and for you Hollow Crown Well she wore you like silk Bandaged all around The scars of your love Became your hollow crown She held you through the night And kissed you through the cold Blinded by your light Was waiting to grow old She said, love, I give you everything I give you everything that you need Oh, love, well I'd do anything And I'd do anything to be seen So when you packed all of your bags And left without a word Well the voices in her head Were begging to be heard So she wept all through the night And slept all through the day 'Cause her lonely, lonely heart Was caught in every trap you laid and She said, love, I give you everything I give you everything that you need Oh, love, well I'd do anything And I'd do anything to be seen Why did we break down Why did we break down Was it just 'Cause we weren't ready Why did we break down Why did we break down Was I vulnerable or too unsteady Why did we break down Why did we break down Was it just 'Cause we weren't ready Why did we break down Why did we break down Was I too vulnerable or too unsteady Well love, I give you everything I give you everything that you need Oh, love, well I'd do anything And I'd do anything to be seen Oh, love, well I'd do anything Anything to be free To be free, to be free Reverie Hey babe What do you expect me to say I could tell you that I'm doing great But darling I'm just not okay Hey babe Why did we throw it away Without you I just ain't the same And darling I'm just not okay Hey babe I've been putting on my bravest face Just looking for ways to replace you And darling I'm just not okay Hey babe It isn't like me to complain But you don't look at me the same And darling I'm just not okay Hey babe What do you expect me to say I could tell you that I'm doing great But darling I'm just not okay
Waste of ShaMe EP
Lullaby I've been hearing voices in my head Turning on the lights, ever since you left The shadow of a stranger is in my bed One more wasted night, One more wasted breath Oh but How was I to know you were the song that used to easy my mind Now it's so hard to let you go Knowing I'm leaving better days behind Your love was like a lullaby It knocks me out every time And even through the longest night You never let go 'til I was satisfiеd I never said so but Your love was likе a lullaby Now I've been seen visions in my mind Over perfect life, life I left behind Now it all just feels so incomplete Got nothing more to give, got nowhere left to be No but How could I forget you were the song that used to easy my mind Now I lie away awake with my regrets Knowing I left my better days behind Your love was like a lullaby It knocks me out every time And even through the longest night You never let go 'til I was satisfied (Your love was like a lullaby) I never said so but Your love was like a lullaby It knocks me out every time And even through the longest night You never let go 'til I was satisfied (Your love was like a lullaby) I never said so but Your love was like a lullaby Your love was like a lullaby Your love was like a lullaby
Slide You still talk about it like it meant nothing at all Strung out on the precipice waiting to fall Dead on the sofa at 4 in the morning Try to forget all the things that I read Wish I could reach and open the door 'Cause I can't bear to live in this hole that you've dug in my head But every time I go outside That's when I slide Yeah, my walls come down Am I losing my mind Or am I coming around Now I'm so tired of these characters, faces I'm making I play the part but just know that I'm breaking inside That's when I slide Let the mask slip while I'm up on the stagе Cut my legs lip split now I'm stuck in your cage Nowherе to turn, I got lost in the moment Tired of staring the same cigarette Sooner or later you'll feel so alone Like you're walking through memories you know that you live to forget 'Cause every time I close my eyes That's when I slide Yeah, the walls come down Am I losing my mind Or am I coming around 'Cause I'm so sick of the story, just finish it for me Don't care if you love, hate, adore or ignore me I'm so tired of these characters, faces I'm making I play the role but just know that I'm breaking inside That's when I slide 'Cause I'm so sick of the story, just finish it for me Don't care if you love, hate, adore or ignore me I'm so tired of these characters, faces I'm making I play the part but just know that I'm breaking inside That's when I slide
For you, patiently Well, I'm on my own You left me here With legs made of stone Choking on beer Well I guess that's you know To take what you need And if you wanna come home You know where I'll be Sail away from me Sail away from me And I will wait patiently For you For you Now the damage is done You're a cloud in the sky Blocking my sun Passing me by Way up in the blue I wish you could see I'm waiting for you I'm down on my knees Sail away from me Sail away from me And I will wait patiently For you For you
Little blue house There's a little blue house On the mountain side Where we stay in our dreams Stay in our dreams Well, it burnt down, yes it Burnt down tonight From the flames in our dreams Flames in our dreams Was it a nightmare Or am I just insecure So ashamed in my dreams Ashamed in my dreams 'Cause I saw you stood there Naked by the bedroom door And I found rage in my dreams I found rage in my dreams Now I know what you are And I know where you've been I know what you're looking for And I know what you have seen And I know what you want Darling, I know what you need I know who you're dreaming of And it certainly ain't me No, it ain't me No, it ain't me In no time the silent line of your cruel silhouette Has me fraying at the edges while you're painting pictures in my head Now I know what you are And I know where you've been I know what you're looking for And I know what you have seen And I know what you want Darling, I know what you need I know who you're dreaming of And it certainly ain't me No, it ain't me No, it ain't me No, it ain't me No, it ain't me Waste of shame I was at the airport You were at a bar somewhere It was seven in the morning But you said that time was different there I know you need attention Now I haven't been around in weeks So you'd rather be out drinking Getting played by the pimps and freaks Well, there is no one to blame In your place I might've done the same Isn't love such a waste of shame? Hanging out my hotel window And the city lights were flashing red Like a warning sign above my head I chose the company of fools instead And you were at your sister's place Couldn't bear to dream alone at night Had to force my demons to the light When you knew that something wasn't right Well, there was no one to blame In my place you might've done the same Isn't love such a waste of shame? Alas, we are happy and calm Alas, we are sad and quiet Happy because we love Sad because love is a curse I was at the airport And you were at a bar somewhere It was seven in the morning Guess that time is always different when There's no one left to blame Now our scars will never heal the same Isn't love such a waste of shame?

Answers (Songs in Black and White EP) Looking out upon the bleak horizon And I'm not sure what it is that I see But I've got all the answers That you can't seem to process in me And heaven knows I'm lonely now with you babe And heaven knows I'm blinder than before But heaven knows I'm worth it And we both know heaven wants us at it's doors But I can't seem to form the words to get you back And if I could I'd say them all in rhyme 'Cause I can't bear to forget you And I'm sure you've forgotten me but that's fine And we don't have all the time left to make a move We're older now than we were back then I'm sorry for how I've acted I'm so sorry for how I acted again But oh take me with you when you go away from home 'Cause last time you left me alone on my own Oh take me with you when you go away from home 'Cause last time you left me alone on my own So looking out upon the bleak horizon And I'm not sure what it is that I see But I've got all the answers That you can't seem to process in me
Burn My Clothes, Bury My Crown (Songs in Black and White EP) How loud would I have to scream To make a sound, to let you know And how tenderly would I have to whisper That it's ok, that we can go But how cold the touch of your tongue Your weighted words make no sound But how violent must my loneliness become To burn my clothes, bury my crown 'Cause would it be enough for you to love me And would I be enough for you How reckless is the heart that bleeds for love That knows the warmth, that knows the taste And how blessed is the diamond in the rough Who would offer her embrace And how foolishly the lonely mind can wander And blinding lights falling down And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner So burn my clothes, and burn my crown 'Cause would it be enough for you to love me Oh no, it wouldn't I'd never be enough for you
Darkness Of The Day (Demo) (Songs From My Bedroom) Shadows converging in my mind All of the love I've left behind Drifting into cloudy skies Get in lost behind your eyes But now my dreams they come alive With your kisses, I remember All those lonely, lonely nights We got caught out in a rain Was our love a work of art Before the painting fell apart What was that I heard you say It's just the darkness of the day And were we better at the start Before I offered you my heart Before the demons came to play Within the darkness of the day And how can I be so afraid The broken promises I made Now I watch your memory fade Into the darkness of the day Sinking into isolation Searching for a motivation 'Cause love is not an occupation Just a shelter from the rain Staring out my bedroom window Thinking baby are you there Staring out your bedroom window Baby do you even care Was our love a work of art Before the painting fell apart What was that I long to say It's just the darkness of the day And were we better at the start Before I offered you my heart Before the demons came to play Within the darkness of the day And how can I be so afraid The broken promises I made Now I watch your memory fade Into the darkness of the day And how can I be so afraid Broken promises we made Now I watch our memory fade Into the darkness of the day It's just the darkness of the day Only the darkness of the day Only the darkness of the day Digging Falling off the handle bars Joking round and fake cigars And holding up for loving in their fancy cars And dreaming of a love that’s better than ours And I can feel you digging Go on right down to the heart of this I don’t know which way you’re going But I don’t want to be part of it Oh, no no no no 'Cause you build it Then you went and you broke it Oh oh, did you ever even know me at all? Oh, no no no no Well you build it Then you went and you broke it Oh oh, did you ever even know me at all? Falling off the handle bars Getting by with open scars And holding up for a woman who plays guitar And dreaming of a love that’s better than ours But it's not better than ours And I can feel you digging Go on down to the heart of this I don’t know which way I’m going But I don’t want you to be part of it Oh, no no no no 'Cause you build it Then you went and you broke it Oh oh, did you ever even know me at all? Oh, no no no no Well you build it Then you went and you broke it Oh oh, did you ever even know me at all? Oh well you build it Then you went and you broke it And did you ever even know me at all

The man who flew into space Tempting your toes from the chair Dragging your heels through the air Counting your heartbeats now your breath turns cold Haven’t seen daylight in weeks Wiping the dust from your cheeks Note on the dresser says “i told you so” But where does time go? Laid to rest, you know what’s next Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror Jaded eyes fixed to the floor Pray he’s better off where he has gone They say it’s sad to throw a life away to find forever more You fell through a crack in the sky Saw death in the blink of an eye Moments like this you wish you’d changed your mind ‘cause all that you have and you know You gave as a gift to let go People and pleasures that you left behind But there’s no right time Lost in space, you leave no trace Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror Jaded eyes fixed to the floor Pray he’s better off where he has gone They say it’s sad to throw a life away to find forever more Stuck behind through the glass that you’re looking through Can’t see a better end to the day ‘cause you don’t even know who you’re talking to And lately you’ve got nothing to say And maybe it’s all that we’re good for Maybe we’re a waste of time If you can’t fight it anymore I’ll see you on the other side Strangers knocking down the door, looks of terror Jaded eyes fixed to the floor Pray he’s better off where he has gone They say it’s sad to throw a life away to find forever more
