More Than My Name Pt. 1

All that I’ve done, what I’ve become
I am not what he is, didn't do what he did
I’m more than my name, we are not the same
Ive watched and Ive learned, I’ve felt your burn
Won’t go where you’ve been, I don’t care what you’ve seen
Do what you have to do, I won’t follow you
I wont swim in your wake, wont make your mistakes
Can’t trace over your lines, I’ve got to draw mine
I found who I am, and you turned and ran
You can try to explain, I’ll listen again
Make yourself heard and I wont say a word
You made your choice, didn’t use your voice

Nothing you could ever buy will ever make you whole
Im walking up and down the isles and everything’s been sold
You’re trying but its hard to find something to fit the hole
Forgetting everything you know
You’re the centre of your universe the star of your own show
The spotlight isn’t shining though you should have stayed at ho me
Learn your lines revise, refine, its time to break the mould
Forgetting everything you know
If you cant learn to love yourself, what chance is there for someone else?
Something to fill the emptiness, take it in, feeling everything (again)
Its coming let it happen now, for once just take a look around
The thing you thought you never found is in your head and its in your hands
Move your mind away from what has been and whats to come
Bide your time don’t wait too long don’t stop for anyone
The moment is before your eyes you blink and then its gone
It was right there all along
It’ll happen if you stop trying so hard
Don't get tied to the things that you cant find
Start looking on the inside

Jump Ship

Forget what you saw, it’s irrelevant now
Isn’t the future what you want? Jump ship its going down
Watch me drift away in to distant lands
I’ve been counting down the days, now I’m a distant sound
You find your way to me
No matter where I hide
You’re my favourite enemy
And my worst ally
This is what comes next for me, what I was made to do
It’s in a language you don’t speak, won’t make sense to you
I’ve tried to explain and make you understand
You never listen and you’ll never change, giving you all I can
The space I occupied is vacant now
We were swallowed by the tide, escaped somehow
I was once a part of you but now you’re on your own
It’s time for me to bloom, you have to let me go
But this is my white flag
I’m giving up on you
Letting go of what we had
It’s time for something new

Free to Speak

Feel like I’ve died behind the eyes
Save your breath, I cannot align
I took the time and I tried to empathise
Everyone of us can see through each every lie
Now I really really really don’t wanna know
The fact that I'm not laughing doesn't mean I don’t get the joke
You’re free to speak but did you really think that I’d agree?
I’m at the peak, I can feel it coming over me
This time I’m gonna say exactly whats on my mind
Im planning an attack, don’t try to hold me back
Forget everything you thought you knew about all this
Im tearing out the page, why don’t you do the same?
I want it all, can I take a piece from you?
Calculating analysing every move
I’ve hit the wall, need something to help me through
I know what I need to do and I’ve got nothing left to lose

Take me far away from all the mess, we’re not like all the rest
Out of time, I waited for my turn I got what i deserved
This timeline has no start or end, don’t recognise my friends
If you need proof of where I’ve said Ive been look at my history
This is beyond what I thought it was
Infinitely going back and forth
You’ve known me since long before we met but were not official yet
Take it all its not what makes me real, take a picture of your meal
When I’m done what will I leave behind? Show me something I might like
Put it down don’t let the moment pass you by. Won’t you look me in the eye?
This is beyond what I thought it was
Infinitely going back and forth
Ones and zeros underneath it all
Why cant we go back to what it was like before?

Dive

Rock made my fingers bleed as I threw it in to the sea
Shells break under my feet and I’m wet up to the knees
I see blue for miles, we’re not chasing time
Don’t get left behind, follow the light
Dive deep down take a breath
It’s not over yet
Letting go of what you had left
Blisters from the sun but we’re still going strong
I told you you’re the one and you said you knew all along
I see blue for miles, we’re not chasing time
Don’t get left behind, follow the lights
Shine down on everyone
Find where you belong
I’ll be there when you have gone

More Than My Name Pt. 2

All that I’ve done, what I’ve become
I am not what he is, didn't do what he did
I’m more than my name, we are not the same
This is the end of you holding me down
I’ll do better without you around
I’ve seen the answer to the mystery
Now we can stop repeating history
Don’t try one of your tricks, this will only take minute
You promised everything would change, you broke me time and time again
Found freedom from your grip, no more taking what you’re giving
My name is of no consequence, now I have found the confidence
And you never learned to say the words
Maybe this is just what you deserve
So much more than what you think I am
Can’t go along with someone else's plan
I’ve underestimated everything
Finally understanding what this means
With my reflection looking back at me
I see the master of my destiny
