Grey 03:28
lyrics

Your colour code eludes me Can’t be trusted to remain Right or wrong, tick the box you say But I can’t stay the same My colour fades and I’m invisible. You want to outline me In your shadows and your light But I’m grey, I’m grey, I’m grey You want to define me With your boxes and your charts I’ll come apart that way My chameleon skin turns to mud Crossing your lines, cut by them No four letter code can contain me Your words don’t define me My colour fades and I’m invisible. You want to outline me In your shadows and your light But I’m grey, I’m grey, I’m grey You want to define me With your boxes and your charts I’ll come apart that way We are real, we are grey, we are human Not good or bad for you to judge. Your slippery slope says you can cast the first stone But look around you friend and you might see yourself Right beside us, slipping in the mud As you slide into hatred, when your lore says right is love. You want to outline me In your shadows and your light But I’m grey, I’m grey, I’m grey You want to define me With your boxes and your charts I’ll come apart that way

Barbed Wire 04:08
lyrics

Short circuit, short circuit your instinct Reach out, into the space between Walk the streets at night, wide awake Remember when, when this was built Things would be better, they’d say, for your sake Cast the other out, cast aside the guilt The ghost, of fear outside Has caged your heart with barbed wire For greed, blame the other But inside, will you ever be free? Short circuit, short circuit your instinct Reach out, into the space between Run from certainty, it writhes inside You flinch then, then is it real? It never got better, it stays, you comply Throw their ideal out, overcome their will The ghost, of fear outside Has caged your heart with barbed wire For greed, blame the other But inside, will you ever be free? If it takes forever to make it right, Will we come undone? If it can’t be changed, will you Tear it down, tear it down with me? In a world so connected How can we be so confined? Do we want a painful truth Or just a blissful lie? The ghost, of fear outside Has caged your heart with barbed wire For greed, blame the other But inside, will you ever be free? Short circuit, short circuit your instinct Reach out, into the space between.

Composite 03:53
lyrics

Am I the stranger? Am I no one? Am I the stranger? Nowhere is home. Will my roots set here or will I wander? Like the cold piercing through my skin. Every place takes a part of me and I wonder, Will there be anything left? Blend me in, nothing anymore. Am I the stranger in my home? Only fragments, drifting, never staying I am composite, I am no one’s I’ve come apart again, my soul fraying Step out from what defines you. You are more than the places you’ve been. If this change is unavoidable, You don’t have to prove yourself to me. Break into the colours of the prism (What’s left of me?) And recreate your shattered flame (How could I belong?) The chain that follows in your footsteps (What’s left of me?) Your link to those who know your name (Can I stay?) I am drifting in eternal twilight. But now I have some purpose in my mind. A broken shadow made of mismatched pieces. In this light I will be undefined. Fade away. What will we become? Am I the stranger in my home? Only fragments, drifting, never staying I am composite, I am no one’s I’ve come apart again, my soul fraying I am the stranger no one knows. (I see you) My proof in pieces left along the road (I hear you) I am composite, I’m no one (I know you) I’ve come apart again, don’t know if I’ll return. (I will find you)

Synthetic 03:51
lyrics

You chose the masquerade I acted But I was only playing a part Now I must walk in shoes that you thought fitted Tread lightly, so you’ll never find out And I'm not - What you think I am I am not - Alright You’ve been mistaken, this is synthetic You’ve been mistaken, this is it I am only what my flaws scream Hide me from the voice within Hide me From the voice within Hide me The broken piece in your machine If you find me, then I’ll be thrown out You all think in step, in sync, and I am Drowning in a pool of self doubt And I'm not (not not) - I’m not functioning I am not (not not) - Alright You’ve been mistaken, this is synthetic You’ve been mistaken, this is it I am only what my flaws scream Hide me from the voice within Bury me, hide me, cover me up, cover me up, cover me up Synthetic skin, surface thin Synthetic skills, synthetic heart The secret beats on the inside The secret that I’m not enough But if I look at you and that's a mask too, Could we connect over self doubt? We are mistaken, it's all synthetic We are mistaken, this is it Cry out, scream above your self-doubt “Free me from the voice within!” Free me From the voice within Free me

Scarecrow 03:07
lyrics

What's in this part of you, is this where it resides Pull out the thorn to find It's hollow by design Close your eyes to see, it’s waiting patiently. Take your only spark and burn the scarecrow, burn the scarecrow for me. Why do we always forget, What lies within our chests? Will we be forced to accept The chains upon our wrists? What creeps into your mind, Seeping from the voids in life Ignore the poison in your bite Lash out there’s no respite Close your eyes to see, it’s waiting patiently. Take your only spark and burn the scarecrow, burn the scarecrow for me. Why are we bound to, Self torment Betray and confess Unequaled in this mess Justify our regrets Define our intent For all we were meant To end this dread Close your eyes to see, it’s waiting patiently. Take your only spark and burn the scarecrow, burn the scarecrow for me. Why do we always forget, What lies within our chests? Will we be forced to accept The chains upon our wrists?

about

Feathers, Wood ‘N’ String released their 2019 EP “From Nowhere” on December 30th, 2019. “From Nowhere” is a discussion of Lloyd and Sarah’s move halfway across the world to Southampton, UK, and in a broader sense, of the experience of not quite belonging. In their first 2019 single “Composite,” they directly approached the issue of belonging (or not belonging) in more than one home. In “Synthetic” they considered a different aspect of being between spaces of belonging - Impostor Syndrome. In their final single release, “Barbed Wire” the duo questioned the effects of borders. The two new tracks on the EP are “Grey” and “Scarecrow.” In “Grey” Sarah presents a lyrical discussion of an issue close to her heart; that people are not tick boxes, and many of us exist in grey areas. In "Scarecrow" Lloyd addresses the idea that many of our fears and anxieties are scarecrows - hollow threats.
