EFFIGY MEMORY
IGNORE THE IMAGE
The doubt is creeping in my mind
But the journey was hard to find
You might see me as a kid
But our time will not forbid
​
Oh our history you and I
Is blind with both our eyes
We need to turn this ship around
Once it breaks we'll surely drown
​
Ignore the image you perceive
That's not me
Won't ever be
Blind to what's been going on
You weren't wrong
We've been gone
​
4 whole years it's taken
Who knows if we're mistaken
​
Our memories might be skewed
From which angle they are viewed
Countless nights wasted away
With no concern of day
​
Oh you think our times were bad?
But on the other hand
You never saw the real me
Now's your chance, just look and see
​
I like to think I've changed
But I'll never know
Counting down the days
To see if it grows
​
With everything going on
It's tricky to tell
Is this my goal
Is this some form of hell?
​
Ignore the image you perceive
That's not me
Won't ever be
Blind to what's been going on
You weren't wrong
We've been gone
​
4 whole years it's taken
Who knows if we're mistaken
​
Ignore the image you perceive
That's not me
Won't even be
RAINBOWS ON THE WATER
The ship is slowly sinking
With people just sat there thinking
Pessimists look on
Optimists just want a paragon
​
Hoping for somebody to guide us
But boomers will declare they're nuts
"They've lived their lives", we'll say
Now is our chance maybe today
​
What if today was your last?
Get to safety before the blast?
But the rainbow's on the water
The rainbow's on the water
Makes you think your time is shorter
​
Predictions seem so wrong
Cos we don't know if it's strong
Is it 20 or is it 5?
Folks like me will try and strive
​
What if today was your last?
Get to safety before the blast?
But the rainbow's on the water
The rainbow's on the water
Makes you think your time is shorter
​
What if today was your last?
Get to safety before the blast?
But the rainbow's on the water
The rainbow's on the water
Makes you think your time is shorter
KEEPING THE STATUS QUO (ACOUSTIC)
Sat alone he thinks about life
Pain for him is taking the knife
Hiding his face and all his tears
Always made fun of by his peers
​
This might be all they've ever known
Constantly told to stop and "no"
But what if this cowl is just for show?
A person moving on but keeping the status quo
​
Often silent in a crowd
But he's a one who sticks around
Just to see what others do
One day he knows that he'll break through
​
This might be all they've ever known
Constantly told to stop and "no"
But what if this cowl is just for show?
A person moving on but keeping the status quo
​
This might be all you've ever known
Constantly told to stop and "no"?
But what if your cowl is just for show?
A person moving on but keeping your status quo
TWO CENTS
I can't put into words
How much I think of you
Staring at your page
Hoping for some change
​
Your clothes they line the floor
Of my mind
​
Your eyes they seem opposed
Your hair calm and composed
I wonder if you know
Can't say " I want you close"
​
Your clothes they line the floor
Of my mind
There's something going on
That I can't find
​
I've never even spoken to you
That's why you're cold
I'm just someone with love in their heart
So you've been told
​
Your clothes they line the floor
Of my mind
There's something going on
That I can't find
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
Your phone screen's a strobe light
On and off for your whole night
I'm sorry I ran to you
With tears in my eyes
​
You didn't need this burden
You've got your own life
I'm sorry I ran to you
Whilst enjoying your night
​
Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?
​
Sixteen new messages
Within the past half hour
I'm sorry I don't have a filter
When my mind isn't right
​
You don't know how to help me
I don't really know it either
I'm sorry I say "I'm sorry"
I just really need you here
​
Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?
​
I never wanted you tangled up
In the hairs of my past
I keep going at it all the time
But sometimes it doesn't last
​
I always wanted you safe and sound
Not the light when I had none
Thanks for your time I might just go now
To figure things out on my own
​
The darkness encroaches
My doubts are all here
I'm here on my own
Nobody is near
​
Your hand is outreaching
I'm nervous to take
Will there be darkness?
Will it all fade away?
​
Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?
Tell me why do you do it?
​
I never wanted you tangled up
In the hairs of my past
BED SONG (FEAT. WHY ISAAC)
Sunday 26th of September
Feeling like I'm dead
And people say it's only in my head
​
Even though I'm healthy and alive
Something seems to hold me back
Every day and every night
Nothing seems to ease the pain
​
I'm lost in a mind without an end
Fixed in a bed without any chains
I'm locked in a room without a key
I'm trapped without escape
​
I know that they are out there
Having fun without me, even though it's all my fault
I'm all to blame
They don't even listen to what I have to say
​
I'm lost in a mind without an end
Fixed in a bed without any chains
I'm locked in a room without a key
I'm trapped without escape
​
But maybe I'm wrong to think there's a way out
Even though it seems so hard
​
I need to move on
Change my life somehow
Learn from my mistakes and become a better person
Leaving this cage will be tough
But nothing is stopping me now
I'm waking up for the first time in my life
​
I'm found in a mind without any end
Freed from a bed without any chains
I'm leaving a room without a key
But I'm still lost without the ones that care for me
