Intro: Yeah i'm not gonna' try. x2 yeah i'm not gonna' mind. x2 Verse: Yeah i'm not gonna' try, and hold you back from your life. Cause' yeah i'm not gonna' mind, if you don't feel that i'm right.

Giving Up 04:57
Verse 1: I spoke your name in my sleep. I thought you were long gone. Another promise I'll never keep. I wrote your name upon my feet, and I thought I could walk it off. An idea that never looked so bleak. You placed the lock on my cage, and i let you keep the key. Now I ask that you give it back to me. You forced me onto the stage, but you couldn't speak at all. And now I have to take the fall. Bridge: I know what you want, and i'm not what you want. When i'm with you i'm not me, and I can't ever be. Run my hands through your hair, one last time yeah I swear. Yeah i'll end this right here, cause' you don't have the guts too. I am not staying no more, cause' you won't ever follow through. You won't admit you don't love me. Just one more soul you outgrew. Underneath this all i'm glad. It's the best outcome for me and you. Chorus: I'm giving up, I'm letting go, This held me back for way too long. I can't be myself, I can't be myself, around you. x 2 Verse 2: I found a smile by the beach. I've cried for long enough, and with you I don't need to weep. If all it takes is those teeth, then wrap your ribs around, so I can watch your heart gently beat. Bridge: I know what you want, and i'm not what you want. When i'm with you i'm not me, and I can't ever be. Run my hands through your hair, one last time yeah I swear. Yeah i'll end this right here, cause' you don't have the guts too. I am not staying no more, cause' you won't ever follow through. You won't admit you don't love me. Just one more soul you outgrew. Underneath this all i'm glad. It's the best outcome for me and you. Chorus: I'm giving up, I'm letting go, This held me back for way too long. I can't be myself, I can't be myself, around you. x 4 Outro: Your name get's scrawled across the sea. this time i'll swim it off, and wash your name from off my feet.

Vessel 03:57
Intro: I'm a flesh bag, i'm wire x4 Verse: I'm a flesh bag. I'm a wire. That sends a signal, That get's me higher. Existential. Yeah i'm a buyer. Phone em' up. And i'll acquire. x 2 Chorus: One life. One vessel to live in, and it's all mine. One moment in time to be, and live my life. I can't stop this feeling I have, That's crawling up my sides. A feeling so present in me, and it says don't waste your time. Verse: I'm a flesh bag. I'm a wire. That sends a signal, That get's me higher. Existential. Yeah i'm a buyer. Phone em' up.

A feeling so present in me, and it says don't waste your time.

Verse: The softest sheets filled with sand. We lay and tell our secrets and make perfume for just us to smell. And the crook in your nose, It feels like home. But the balls of your feet won't walk that far with me. We filled a bath and reminisced, of thunderstorms and our first kiss, we danced in form, in rain like bliss. Naked as we were born, it feels like home. As able as I am torn, this won't last long. Chorus: I don't need to prove that i'm worthy of your love. It's such a shame but i've got to hold my breath and run. I don't want to repeat the mistakes that i've adjourned. Ive got to heed the lesson's I have learned, To not get hurt, to not get hurt. Verse Rip the bandaid off and salt the wound. don't tread too deep. This won't undo. Cause' all this sleep won't get me through. Your fingers against my bones, it felt like home. You wrote me into your world but it didn't last long. Chorus: I don't need to prove that i'm worthy of your love. It's such a shame but i've got to hold my breath and run. I don't want to repeat the mistakes that i've adjourned. Ive got to heed the lesson's I have learned (x2), To not get hurt, to not get hurt.

about

This EP is a journey through my experiences with difficult relationships and unrequited love, as well my journey coping with gender dysphoria and body coupled with the feelings of exestentialism that comes with living in the one Vessel you have been given.

about

Izzy Kershaw Norwich, UK

Producer, multi-instrumentalist and solo artist. Trip- hop meets lo-fi pop.

My flavour profile is fast, crunchy and emotional - as all good breakfasts should be

sometimes I write emotional songs about heartbreak, sometimes I rap, and sometimes you'll get an energetic distorted glitch-fest full of memes.
