On the Doll

(Joshua Lyons)

It's about being in an abusive relationship, where the abuser gaslights the victim...And the victim asking to be shown on the doll where exactly they've caused any pain.

(Verse 1)
Please tell me how to undo
Things I never did to you
How do I take back an unkind word
I never said and you never heard
I'm not the one behind
Bruises on your skin
If you are the victim
Please have a seat and then...

(Chorus)
Show me on the doll
Where I've caused you pain
Every scratch, bruise,
Fracture or sprain
Are you evil or do you believe
What you say about me or 
Does it validate the moment 
You decided to leave?

(Verse 2)
Why is your name on my caller ID?
You didn't want to talk when you randomly left me
Switch from loving to cruel
With no in between
Your words either mean nothing
Or are nothing but mean

(Chorus)
Show me on the doll
All the places I'm accused
Of leaving marks while
Any on me are excused
How many times must
You be accused of acting this way?
Before you stop pointing the finger
At others for whatever you do and say?

(Rap Interlude)
Mind sharp as a knife
Do you mind? Get out of my life
There's enough pain in my lane
Stop side-swiping with strife
Drunkenly spew your philosophy
Sloppily, could you possibly
Hold on to all the Hell you toss to me?
A glossary is necessary
But a farce to me
Far from scary
Feelings flow sparse and intermittently 
You ain't shit to me, the mantra you repeat
But it tightens the noose you use
To hang your head in defeat
We're both discreet, but each time
We meet, risk execution
Trying to mend this independence
Is our constitution
Letting an outsider's intrustion
Amend our nights and cause confusion
A ruse he was using so you would
Be choosing to choose him
And this is what caused our conclusion?

(Chorus)
Show me on the doll
Until you get lost in your lies
Drama to you is
Like shit to flies
Destroy your future and
Make the present tense
What will she say next?
I can barely stand the suspense
Show me on the doll
Where I've caused you to hurt
Long term or just mild discomfort
Then I'll show you on the doll
Every single part where
You've hurt me
It's easy 'cause
I'll just rip the doll apart

Cancerous consequences

By Jessie Doyle

This is a song I wrote about the tobacco industry and the complete ignorance of the dangers of smoking tobacco products just to fit in and be a part of what is considered trendy, hip and cool as with is with most things in our society people tend to go with the herd and are terrified of being judged or different that they would rather consume lethal poisons than be the individual they really are on the inside and who they really want to be.

Into The Dark

By Emily Lister

These lyrics are about facing and overcoming adversity. About relying on yourself and using your survival instinct. Finding a place to escape to where you feel safe and unthreatened. It’s also about battling your inner conscience, the voice inside that may sometimes tell you things you don’t like to hear a voice I associate with depression. But ultimately trying to find a way through to the other side.
