Burn these pages and clean your ears Forget the past and lose your fears Midnight tears over cups of tea Let it out and trust in me After everything I’m all you’ve got Our wings are broken and our maps are lost We’ve got a long way to crawl No one’s listening for your call Hold my hand and believe in me Tear the threads that we used to keep Scorch all the golden memories And photographs Forget the past After everything I’m all you’ve got Our wings are broken and our maps are lost We’ve got a long way to crawl No one’s listening for your call

The End 03:06
This isn’t how I planned it Sliding in and out of places Feeling so in between This isn’t how I saw us Sharing our memories Painful hugs and kisses between lies and deceit This is a feeling we just can’t mend You’re pushing me further and I just won’t bend I think you can see, this is the end I think you can see, this is the end I’ve been reminiscing about all these painful hugs and kisses You lied, I know you lied Re-evaluating all these situations I tried, I know I tried This is a feeling we just can’t mend You’re pushing me further and I just won’t bend I think you can see, this is the end I think you can see, this is the end

Displaced 04:14
I’m uprooted, I’m displaced My heart is torn between place after place Between interesting and insignificant spaces Indiscrete towns on borders and tucked in the creases of maps and in the corners of local eyes That’s where you’ll find That’s where you’ll find The tangible sketches of my life I’ve got no anchor tying me here No overwhelming feeling pulling me down Not born, not bred, I’m just roaming around Not born, not bred, I’m just roaming around This god forsaken town instead I’m uprooted, I’m displaced My heart is torn between place after place Between ornate and understated spaces Bright lit cities bustling with faces of strangers and miles of exciting displays to explore and adore That’s where you’ll find That’s where you’ll find The tangible sketches of my life I’ve got no anchor tying me here No overwhelming feeling pulling me down Not born, not bred, I’m just roaming around Not born, not bred, I’m just roaming around This god forsaken town instead

Harder 03:46
You love me down to the bone You’re the only one who knows You love me down to the bone You’re the only one who knows Goodbye is hard to say Each year I slip away A little bit further, a little bit faster And your heart will gently fade As I pull this cord away A little bit harder, a little bit harder And these ideas change, These memories fade But you’re holding on with open arms Although I’ve grown you love me right down to the bone to the bone, the bone, the bone Goodbye is hard to say Each year I slip away A little bit further, a little bit faster And your heart will gently fade As I pull this cord away A little bit harder, a little bit harder

Saint 03:06
Save me from my own escape Save me from my stupid ways Honey you’re always there when I need you Waiting to take me home at the end of the day I know I’m not the easiest patient I know my faults like I know pain But you stuck with me through all of this Because honey you’re a saint Honey you’re always there when I need you Waiting to take me home at the end of the day Because honey you’re a saint

It’s Been a long time I met you when the air was thin It’s been a long time It’s been a long time We are warm and heavy and the clouds are thick It’s been a long time since I heard you laugh like before We’re both tired from the weight and no time to relax It’s been a long time I hardly remember the sound of your laughter It’s just a fragment buried right at the back of my mind It’s been a long time I met you when the days were young It’s been a long time We used to have so much careless fun No worries, no need to commit It’s been a long time and I miss it I hardly remember the sound of your laughter It’s just a fragment buried right at the back of my mind It’s been a long time

Folds 03:35
You’ve been making plans While I’m holding hands with fate Won’t you wait for me Please give way to me Because I’m afraid That you’ll go and I’ll be lonely But we’ve both got our dreams And we’re young We’ve got years to flatten out these folds There’s only one thing that I know And it’s you, it’s you, I want to wake up to Hold on tight, there’s no rush We’ve got enough to contend with And time is on our side my love I would sacrifice everything I have
8.
Make Amends 02:25
You shoot your enemies He shot his friends Sometimes you can’t make amends All your blood stained carpets Will haunt you until you die I’ve made mistakes, I’ve made a few But never as many, as many as you
9.
Miss You 04:44
Sliding between the cracks But my hands aren’t pulling you back Confused and afraid but I know I’ll still be the same if I stay or go All of the words that I tried to say And all of the tears that I shed on the way All of these people I’ve left behind me These choices we’ve made Might just stain all the threads And break all the bonds that we’ve sewn I don’t want to be alone All of the words that I tried to say And all of the tears that I shed on the way All of these people I’ve left behind me And I miss you
10.
Above Ground 04:23
I’ve been trying my best to excavate my soul Push all this heavy weight away from me I’ve been trying hard to educate myself To think in different ways, see new potential, and brighter days Don’t judge me for my negativity and heavy hold on the past It’s been a hard few years, but we’re above ground at last It’s been a hard few years my god I’ve seen all of your tears We’re above ground at last

These empty days face me now These empty words hold me close I’m not moving like I used to, no I’m not feeling like I used to, no Not as strong as I once I was, but getting close Not as young as when I met you, but who’s to know My confidence has not returned from since I fell But honey I can tell you, I’m feeling well Never quite hit the mark It always seems so very far These empty days face me now These empty words just let me down Not as strong as I once I was, but getting close Not as young as when I met you, but who’s to know My confidence has not returned from since I fell But honey I can tell you, I’m feeling well Honey I can tell you I’m feeling well as far as I can tell, as far as I can tell

about

Displaced is the long awaited debut album by Elizabeth Cornish. The 11-track album is a collection of songs written over 6 years and touches on themes of transition, growth, overcoming barriers and moving on.

The album is in many ways the culmination of Elizabeth’s nomadic upbringing, having been written while packing and unpacking boxes, saying goodbye to friends and family and an array of different sceneries.

Displaced captures feelings of anguish, being torn between place after place and the loss of leaving people behind. Yet despite this, the warmth of hope and reassurance run throughout.

Displaced is an independent release and will be available on March 15th 2014.
