What Is It?

The definition of effect is broad, but its meaning is impactful. It is not constricted, and can be interpreted and implied many ways. The truth is everything is the product of cause and effect. Ryan Troughton Effect understands this fact, and delivers with a cause of their own. 

An ef·fect

  a change that results when something is done or happens

  an event, condition, or state of affairs that is produced by a cause

  a particular feeling or mood created by something

  an image or a sound that is created to imitate something real

Pray For The Prey

When I walk down the street

the #people do stare

And they turn their heads around on me,

like they don’t care

But if I was a beast, a lion, tiger or bear

I’d be the king of all creatures

land sea and air

Some #people are so evil now

to the ones who want it fair

But they both need society to dictate

who will be spared

Now I ain’t a priest, but I still have a prayer

 out for the world where most are too scared 

And I pray for the prey

I pray for the prey

Ya I pray for the prey

Because the prey can’t be saved

You know the food chain will always remain

And that survival of the fittest will always maintain

That #people are civil, but #people are strange

Living in a world that we claim to have tamed 

So I pray for the prey

I pray for the prey

ya I pray for the prey

Because the prey can’t be saved

I pray for the prey

I pray for the prey

I pray for the prey

Because the prey can’t be saved

Tendencies Dyslexic

When upside down is all around

And smiling frowns wear silver crowns

In sky-filled towns built underground you’ll see…

When right is left of all you’ve found

And green is red in color’s sound

When life is dead and all that’s left is me

Now that giving back is taking away

Don’t disagree but don’t disobey

When you’re standing on the tracks of a

southbound train...

You’ll get stuck in the wrath of a North West rain

We’re more scared of being afraid

And tearing out bricks that we once laid

Walking in a circle won’t carve out a square

Tell me the truth, I’ll listen if you dare

Tendencies Dyslexic keep driving me insane

Are we breaking just to fix it

or correcting it to break again?

I’m tired of growing restless all the while 

feeing strange

 Its time that we address this,

End the suffering in all the pain. 

Well I listen like a deaf man when I speak

And live out my best plans when I sleep

I wrote with my left hand until I was three

Then I switched to my right , that’s just me

Mixing up letters is just part of the problem

When you slip up ladders and climb to the bottom

Where fish wear feathers and fly on top of the sea

Fixing these issues won’t stop the drawbacks

When you’re mixing up kisses and missing the bad sex

So wishing off a star is all that is left for me 

Tendencies Dyslexic keep driving me insane

Are we breaking just to fix it

Or correcting it to break again?

I’m tired of growing restless all the while

Feeing strange

Its time that we address this,

End the suffering in all the pain 

Tendencies Dyslexic keep driving me insane

Are we fixing just to break it

Or breaking it to correct again?

I’m tired of growing restless all the while

Feeing strange

Its time that we address this, 

End the suffering in all the pain 

Bulls Eye

In the bulls eye I can see surprise

In the bulls eye I can realize

Every hour of every day

Every flower on every grave

All the power and all the prey

All the cowards and all the braves

Every sorrow and every shame

Every borrow you’ve ever gave

Goes out the window as I go in and its time to start

aiming again towards… 

The bulls eye in the sky

The bulls eye in your mind

There is a bulls eye in disguise

There is a bulls eye that you will find in time 

In the bulls eye there is no limit to what you may

find, if you can find

In the bulls eye your love will align with your time

 We don't have time, because

Every hour of every day

Every flower on every grave

All the power and all the prey

All the cowards and all the braves

Every sorrow and every shame

Every borrow you’ve ever claimed

Goes out the window as I go in and its time to start

aiming again towards… 

The bulls eye in the sky

The bulls eye in your mind

There is a bulls eye in disguise

There is a bulls eye that you will find in time

But you will go blind if you don’t keep trying

For the bulls eye

SMILING FACES

Smiling faces in all the same places

Come pick me up and together we’ll go

We can enter their races just don’t trip on your

laces

If you fall down here you’re forever low 

I see all these smiling faces tied together by

braces

What’s really pretty, I guess I don’t know

All fades out with the phases, while books keep

turning their pages

All the way to the end, yet we still want some more 

Because never ain’t enough, forever is enough

No never is enough, forever ain’t enough

No never ain’t enough, forever ain’t enough, NO! 

I see all these smiling faces of all the same races

Don’t make the change and forever don’t know

The blues ain’t nothing but hazes that fill all your

days with

Feelings of the end, you know they’re starting to

show that...

Never ain’t enough, forever is enough

No never is enough, forever ain’t enough

No never ain’t enough, forever ain’t enough, NO! 

I see all these smiling faces help up by their

facelifts

If you say you’re so happy, then why’d your face

hang so low?

People working for raises, trying to make more but

they make less

All they way to the end, until what they did have is gone

Ya what you did have is gone

What you did have is gone!

Because never ain’t enough, forever is enough

No never is enough, forever ain’t enough

No never ain’t enough, forever ain’t enough, NO!

Broken Peaces

 The moments that we cherish can never be sustained

All they do is perish and leave us feeling pained

But those times of sorrow never have to last

Just as those cherished moments

All pain can be the past

But its only in your power to ensure more joy will come

Even when the rain pours don’t let yourself succumb

Emotion comes in cycles where there are peaks and there are troughs

And every line will vary until it levels off

So until that time of darkness keep positive thoughts in mind

All the while moving forward never living in rewind.

Expect the unexpected, accept the unaccepted

Keep yourself in line

Make the best of each situation and…

Peace is what you’ll find

Broken piece is what you’ll find

Bright Sides Of The Mind

Figuratively Singing

Why you got to be so sensitive? I see you tearing clocks off the wall

I’m only painting you a picture with my narrative, nothing to take literal at all

So can you sit back and relax it ain’t class I won’t mask any information that’s called

But don’t ask for blind tasks I’m too fast to out last all these other players scared to fall

Uh Oh!

If senseless is the new sense consider me in past tense

I won’t be guilty by association

I’d rather climb up a mountain than spit in the fountain

Appreciation needs appropriation

Can you smell what I’m cooking, or see where I’m looking?

The direction that might bring us back to sane

I’d rather try out a new trend then see our storybook end

Lets rewrite the rules to the game

Oh Lord!

I’m only Figuratively Singing my own topical song

The truth bells a ringing how can this be wrong?!? Babe

An item worth bringing is just hanging on

But I am just a human and I can’t change the dusk to dawn

Oh no, oh no

Hang on

Oh why you got to be so offensive then defensive about the act that you pulled

When we listened to a story that’s so extensive its now expensive to fill our tank full

But we’re still driving its fine when our timing is buying enough luck to make us feel saved

These people trying to tie in the Mayans with my ends when it sucks enough to die is to age

If there’s no such thing as quick fix does solution even exists

When the work it takes is so intensive?

If you want to know my secrets you better dig the deepest

I sure hope you shovels know where the end is

Can you smell what I’m cooking, or see where I’m looking?

The direction that might bring us back to sane

I’d rather try out a new trend than see our storybook end

Lets rewrite the rules to the game

Oh Lord!

I’m only Figuratively Singing my own topical song

The truth bells a ringing how can this be wrong?!? Babe

An item worth bringing is just hanging on

But I am just a human and I can’t change the dusk to dawn

Oh no, oh no

Don’t let go

Y’all Lost Sheep

 All has been said to remind you

What lies ahead rest behind you

Being small ain’t so bad, they won’t find you

But the tall leave them sad when their times through

Walls will just stand holding back whom

Dare not disband and create new

Halls through the sand

New halls through the sand

New halls through the sand all the way to

Peace beyond war. 

But the trap of time in store will leave you waiting by the door

With a map that wore and tore and left you burning in the core

Yes the trap of time in store will leave you waiting by the door

With your map that wore and tore and left you burning in the core

And the time will trap you more if its yourself that you adore

Don’t wait to go explore but first ask the lord to sore

The time will trap you more if its yourself that you adore

Don’t you wait to go explore but ask the lord to sore...

Well the trap of time in store

left you waiting by the door

With your map that wore and tore

and now you’re burning in the core

Yes the trap of time in store

left you waiting by the door

With your map that wore and tore

and now you’re burning in the core

And the time trapped you more because it’s yourself that you adored

Don’t wait to go explore but first ask the lord to sore

The time trapped you more because it’s yourself that you adored

Don’t wait to go explore but first ask the lord to sore

Because y’all lost sheep

Herding with the crowd

Flocking with a group that is now

Heading down south

Y’all all lost sheep

Herding with the crowd

Rocking to a groove that’s heading down south

Y’all are heading down south

Y’all are heading down south

Y’all are heading down south
