'My Medicine' Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Looking back on the pages I used to scribble on, whole lotta cringe and ‘bun down babylon’,
I just needed an outlet, I've always been restless don’t you ever doubt it,
Never cared much for ambition, only ever had one mission, that
I’d never stop this sound, until the day a cure was found, for
Disconnection sickness, this is our world let’s fix it,
Disconnection sickness, this is our world let’s fix it
Chorus:
This is my medicine and I need to use it,
I couldn’t make it very far without music,
Right now I need that healing I can’t refuse it,
‘Cos this is my medicine and I need to use it
Verse 2:
These days not much has changed,
I still feel so estranged,
Sometimes these strings buzz,
Sometimes I sing out,
But I don’t need no more doubts,
This is how I let it out,
‘Cos this is my medicine and I need to use it
Bridge:
When I wake up and I feel that pain,
I know in my heart that it will come again
Chorus repeat
Ad-libs
Verse 3:
‘Cos there’s always been this voice in my head,
Putting me down you wouldn’t believe what it’s said,
And that’s why I need this music,
I need it bad,
‘Cos it is my medicine and I need to use it
'The Greater Plan' EP Song Lyrics:
Rhetoric
Verse 1 - I woke up this morning with blood on my hands,
I dreamt of that boy who lay dead in the sands,
At the back of my mind the sea is rising,
But at the front man I should probably be revising,
I’m so sick of the same old rhetoric might go drown myself in some more Netflix always hear,
‘Sure I wanna save the Earth but it better not hinder business,
‘Cos I put profit before people’ and that’s alright to say ‘cos we’re all fucking right wing these days,
The only way to save the population is in the hands of my generation
Chorus – My future will never be yours,
How dare you burden me with your wars,
Look back on this world you will leave me,
Why is there so much misery (x2)
Verse 2 - I woke up this morning with guilt on my brain,
‘Cos there’s a petition out there that ain’t got my name,
And they just needed one more then it could’ve been stopped but it’s too late now man the bombs have been dropped,
There’s another problem solved in a bloodbath of fiery gold,
But I’ll tell you this the time will come when all of this will be undone
Chorus - My future will never be yours,
How dare you burden me with your wars,
Look back on this world you will leave me,
Why is there so much misery (x2)
Anxious
Chorus – I’m anxious, and I need a good escape,
The trails are misty and I’ve lost my way (x3)
Verse 1 – Crown me king of soundbites I’ve got a phrase for every woe,
I like to bury down my problems in a thousand memos,
The constant questioning it drives me mad,
It only ever stops when I find the right triad,
I pray that one day in not too long,
I won’t have to worry before singing this song,
But until that day I’ll have to just put aside some time to finding a way,
A way to live in peace,
With all the worries that never seem to cease
Chorus - I’m anxious, and I need a good escape,
The trails are misty and I’ve lost my way (x3)
Verse 2 – When you spend so long thinking ‘bout what might be,
It is easy to forget that it ain’t just me,
So many in the past,
Have cast aside their doubts and lived a life unsurpassed,
If they can do it then so can all,
You don’t have to be restrained by the fear of a pitfall,
You know it ain’t always a curse,
It makes me grab a pen and write a verse,
Chorus (Final) - I’m anxious, and I need a good escape,
The trails are misty and I’ve lost my way (x6)
The Greater Plan
Hook 1 – What have you got to say for yourself young man,
Look back do you even know where it all began
Verse 1 – Filled with anger at the few I tried to vent,
But that outrage isn’t something that you can repent,
No cautious tongue could ever hide my intent,
Liven up sharpen up ‘cos this ain’t a lament
Hook 2 - What have you got to say for yourself young man,
Now you’ve spoken your mind what is the great plan
Verse 2 – Discrimination foreshadows greatness,
Forgive but don’t forget and you’ll remain hate-less,
I won’t pretend that I can craft like a poet,
But I’ve gathered my seed and now it’s time to sow it
Pre-chorus – Is there anyone who feels the same,
Or for feeling this am I insane,
You can’t treat a life like a game,
So from speaking out I won’t refrain
Chorus – ‘Cos in this life,
The pen is stronger than the knife,
So let go of all your hate and strife,
Open up your heart let the love come in
Hook 1 – What have you got to say for yourself young man,
Look back do you even know where it all began
Verse 3 – Three years now I’ve been strummin’ on this guitar,
Three years now I’ve been looking up at stars,
Praying one day that I will make it,
I’d rather die than ever forsake it
Hook 2 - What have you got to say for yourself young man,
Now you’ve spoken your mind what is the great plan
Verse 4 – Go within and look upon yourself,
There’s a lot of shit I’m gonna change about myself,
Reignite the spark of political engagement,
Find the old tunes and write a new arrangement
Pre-chorus – Is there anyone who feels the same,
Or for feeling this am I insane,
You can’t treat a life like a game,
So from speaking out I won’t refrain
Chorus (Final) – ‘Cos in this life,
The pen is stronger than the knife,
So let go of all your hate and strife,
Open up your heart let the love come in,
So every day,
For understanding I will pray,
I listen to the words they say,
Open up your heart let that love come in
Return Of The Green
Verse 1 – They seem in love with an eye for an eye,
But I say no ‘cos your woes will multiply,
They say one day we’re all gonna die,
And I say good life everlasting ain’t for me,
They say we live in ominous times,
But I just see it as a chance to rhyme,
They say that the arts will never pay,
And I say fine I wouldn’t give a damn anyway
Chorus – And so every day,
I will give thanks for sunshine and rain,
Even when the notes fall flat in my hymn,
It’s never too long ‘till it turns spring,
Return of the green (x4)
Verse 2 – I say one the forests will return,
But they yawn it ain’t their main concern,
And I wonder why don’t we care,
Whether we have a source of clean air,
And though I know things are looking pretty dire,
I have faith in the chance to inspire,
Apathy could never last long,
When faced with the power of a song
Chorus – And so every day,
I will give thanks for sunshine and rain,
Even when the notes fall flat in my hymn,
It’s never too long ‘till it turns spring,
Return of the green (x4)
