Story Behind The Song
The song was written after being dignosed with severe sciatica with a medical warning of potential lifetime paralysis, at the same time working in a financial field was taking its toll on a humanities degree person who convinced the panel she could perform but she realised it was a tougher nut to crack than expected. Everything seemed to cramble and close in on this soul.

Lyrics
Shrink on me
Verse 1
Wish for a homecoming
but I'm homeless now
so I'll keep on walking
all I ever wished for
all I ever dreamt of
snapped all about
shattered like a glass
life is nothing but an empty vacuum
quiet, silent, I mean dead
I hear a pack of wolves
on my trail
Chorus
The whole world around me
Is shrinking on me
but I am stronger baby, I will survive
so shrink on me
shrink on me
Verse 2
Still wishing for a place called home
but its delusional now
so I'll keep blinking
Its growing darker
the air is getting thinner yeah
knuckles freezing
speeding down the tube with nothing but bruises
and no one to hold my hand
Chorus
The whole world around me
Is shrinking on me
but I am stronger baby, I will survive
so shrink on me
shrink on me
