There was this one time where I said "Here have everything."
I showed her all the things I want and thought I'd never be
But it was just passing, and my novelty wore thin.
For a while there I was happy being me...

Then out of the blue she knocked me square, and that girl would not stop kicking.
She judged me on my bruises and the way my bones had bent and she said, 
"You're not worth my time anymore. I need someone to lean on, and now you can barely stand."

It wasn't good enough to say I wasn't good enough
She needed to precisely explain it.
Took a couple months to poke some holes and rip out chunks.
then compared me to uninjured strangers.

I wielded songs like weapons when all I had was fire.
She said, “You can’t hurt me with that shit, your music’s fucking dire.”

Calling Us Home (Ed Poole Cover) - Duncan Ewart

Legacy - Duncan Ewart

LYRICS:

Remember when you would make enemies like friends 
When the universe would hit you you’d laugh “how lad, swing again” 
So you grew a heart and got it broken, as if that’s what made you up. 
You were a fearless cocky likely lad that nobody could touch. 

Remember when 

You tore it up back then 
You lived like it would end 
You chose cold over home 
Because no one has adventures staying warm. 

You were going to live forever 
Leave stories, do something they’ll remember 
Be a tall tale, 9, 10 feet and over 
The man, the myth, the legend, completely made of thunder 

Be ridiculous and let the world think what it wants 
Chase every bit of dream you can and run til you trip up 
If the thought of losing everything is all that puts you off. 
Remember nothing lasts forever and at least you had it once

I Am The Best At Being Modest - Duncan Ewart

Hurt Yourself and Entertain Me (2025)

Lad let's be honest, you have had better ideas
You cartoon alcoholic, with face bright red and your head's all spinning.

I need to know, I'm good to go,
I've aimed my rocket at an obviously painted road.
Say "I told you so" to my broken bones.
Let's go again, I'm having a ball

Push ahead, eyes front, it just goes wrong if you look down.
If I wanted talking out of it I would have asked around.
As far as I'm concerned there is still a floor here,
at worst I'm hard-headed enough to leave a crater in the ground.

Lad, let's be honest, this is a pure s*** tip idea.
You're just back to solid, and who'll mop up when you start dripping?

Massive Glowing Weak Spot

LYRICS:

I want to tell you some secrets. I keep them glued to my chest.
But if you'd rather stay surface than find out if it's worth it then I guess you know best.
So darling keep all your secrets.
Keep me glued to your chest.

I'm fucking exes in carparks and fucking up weddings
"I've got a boyfriend" doesn't seem to mean shit
come on bring on the fallout, that's a swing and a miss but stay classy kid, stay classy kid.

So darling keep all your secrets, I'll keep you glued to my chest.

Pick an old state. At least you'll know you're safe

"We were meant to be together"
Oh no we weren't darling cos that's not a thing
I'm not the answer to your questions and doing this int fixing me.

Did you get all that you wanted?
Or just what you thought you could get?
You say never deserved it so you're making it worse
but who the fuck ever did?

You're all bitter and twisted
and you went back into this
hurt-people hurt people, you're a shining example
stay classy kid.

Classy (Revert to Form)

Duncan writes songs and sings them at people in order to fulfil a deep-seated need for attention.

Impressions from gig audiences:

"That was a bit loud"

"You swear alot, you should learn more words"

"Yeah, it was alright"

"I need to leave"
