about

‘Toxic City’ marks an initial glimpse into The Honest Poet’s forthcoming EP ‘Love Complexity,’. Exploring the intricacies of the darker side of love the EP is a thematic departure from his debut album ‘Letters To My Queen’, which beautifully narrates the love story between The Honest Poet and his fiancée.

Beginning his musical journey as an acoustic singer-songwriter, The Honest Poet’s path took a transformative turn when he met fellow Welsh artist and producer Minas. Collaborating closely, they fused The Honest Poet’s poetic prowess with Minas’s powers of production and ultimately crafted the distinctive musical identity of ‘Love Complexity’.

lyrics

If there's no love no one gets hurt
jarred in the same old cycle
History seems to repeat , Its all ive ever seen
When I was young I got stuck in between
Honestly I cant take it no more , Soul feels sunk in the floor
Not like before cos im wiser and older
But Deep down I feel so fractured
Its the reason for this bottled up trauma,

Escape from toxic city
Its never been pretty
The scars stay with me
The pain seems to follow
The pain seems to follow x2
The pains seems to follow

Always witness Different excuses
can't hide the bruises Talking is useless
The fighting confuses it just gets consuming
Dooming and clueless, Losing more of themselves
Its no good for their health they need a way out
Seems like their world is just spinning round
Out of control put a stop to it now
Burnt all the love that was found

Escape from toxic city
Its never been pretty
The scars stay with me
The pain seems to follow
