Setting Healthy Boundaries

In this episode of Project STAND's podcast, "A Blueprint," we interview Atlanta native and student activist Zoe Bambara Daniels. She discusses leading a downtown ATL protest in 2020 in the aftermath of the killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery. Zoe also shares the importance of self-preservation on the road to liberation.

TITLE: NOT YOUR EFFIGY
___________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
You built your pyre high with sticks and stones
Set it alight like it could atone
But fire won't cleanse what you won't own

(Pre-chorus)
I'm not the doll you can burn away
I'm not the guilt that will just decay

(Chorus)
Not your effigy not your blame
You cannot sacrifice my name
Flesh and blood is not pretend
Spirit remembers in the end

(Verse 2)
You wrote your sins on paper thin
Folded them tight and threw them in
But smoke won't rise for what's within

(Chorus)
Not your effigy not your blame
You cannot sacrifice my name
Flesh and blood is not pretend
Spirit remembers in the end

(Bridge)
You can't pretend your problems fade
By burning shadows that you've made
Real change is the answer here
Face your truth or disappear

The Fire Won't Cleanse What You Won't Own

Not Your Effigy

Lost and Alone is a breakup confessional dressed in midnight colors. It starts in a cold bedroom too much space, not enough air and follows the quiet decision to walk away from a love that’s calcified. Ghost-touch imagery, mirror-truths, and a hook that chooses solitude over stone set the tone. The verses keep it intimate and close-mic’d; the chorus opens into widescreen roomy drums, aching pads, and a vocal that feels like a final, steady exhale.

Lyrically it’s about mercy through distance: letting echoes fade, letting memories die, and learning that freedom can taste bitter before it tastes clean. Sonically it leans alt-pop/indie with a cinematic lift in the bridge; think late-night drive, streetlights strobing on wet pavement. Play it when you’re past the argument and ready for the truth.

If this hit you somewhere tender, leave a note where did it land?

Lost & Alone

a song in the style of Sleep token, singing about the duality of self hate and self preservation

Vessel of Ash

Black Phunk is a groove architect with smoked-glass vocals, midnight bass, and future-funk swagger. They blend soul, hip-hop, and cosmic jazz into dance-floor sermons built for neon nights.
