Who I Was 05:25
lyrics
buy track
Gently run your fingers through my hair Lay my head on your lap Pretending I don’t care About who I was Or who I ought to be What’s in my blood Was only for you to see Gently I try to fall asleep Place my head against yours To see you in my dreams Dreams of who I was Or who I ought to be Turn into a nightmare When I wake and you’re not beside me Gently place my hands upon my ears Block out the words That brought about this change Change to who I was And who I ought to be Did karma take its price When it stole you from me Stole who I was And who I ought to be Stole who I was And I’ll ever need

Ghost (feat. Serepta) 04:20

Oh hand and hand We rode Til you took a stand You chose To enter the dark Alone When I would’ve held You close If I am ghost What does that make you If I am to atone What should I do If I can’t be strong What would I lose If I have nothing What can I prove If I am a ghost If I am a ghost If I am a ghost If I am a ghost What can I prove I took your hand I chose To let you defend My home When you couldn’t save What you chose You should’ve known That I would go If you are a ghost It’s not my fault I’m no longer your host And I’m sorry you’re lost I had to be strong So I could be fine And now that we’re nothing I hope you don’t mind If I am ghost Can I still see you If you're not my home What should I do I'm no longer strong In a form I can't choose Now I am nothing But memories of you Now I am nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing Now I am nothing But memories of you If I am a ghost If I am a ghost If I am a ghost If I am a ghost If I am a ghost If I am a ghost What does that make you

A Rapturous Noise 04:59
lyrics
buy track
If I’ve got a feeling And it hurts to ignore Was it wrong of me to look the other way If you needed healing And it hurts you to show Was it wrong of me to feel I’ve been led astray You asked me if I’d ever let you down And I stood up and said no Now I'm asking why you turned away, love But you don’t owe me an answer Now you can stand on your own Now you don’t owe me a word Now you can stand on your own Now you don’t owe me a word Wash me away Send me down the stream With a rapturous noise You’ll be rid of me You never asked if I Could stand the sight of my own void With a rapturous noise You don't owe me With a rapturous noise You don't owe me With a rapturous noise You don't owe me With a rapturous noise An answer With a rapturous noise Wash me away With a rapturous noise Send me down the stream With a rapturous noise You'll be rid of me Now you don't owe me a word

Neon 04:18
lyrics

If I look Deep inside Through all the things I’ve buried In my mind Will I find Who I was before The neon took my eyes And left but sand and bone Please don’t tell me how to love Or how to heal If you’re not real Please don’t tell me how to love Or how to heal If you’re not real Please don’t tell me how to love How to heal If you’re not real Please don’t tell me how to love How to heal If you’re not real The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes The neon took my eyes And left but sand and bone The neon took my eyes And left but sand and bone The neon took my eyes And left but sand and bone The neon took my eyes And left but sand and bone Don't you tell me how to love Don't you tell me how to heal If you're not real Don't tell me how to love Don't tell me how to heal If you're not real

about

Who I Was is my most personal project to date. Typically, I don't start writing about difficult times in my life until after I've taken the time to process and understand the things I've been going through. I wanted to try something new and force myself to write while in the midst of some strong mental and emotional turmoil. I ended up writing roughly 9 songs to completion in the span of 2 months. This EP contains 4 out of the 9 tracks that I feel really tell the story of how I've been feeling.

I wanted this project to be some of my most vulnerable and human music to date. That's lead me to try some new things and tap into some good friends that really helped bring this project to life.

Thanks for checking out the EP and I hope it moves you in a good way.

Tom
