Did you need me to break
To see how you feel
Need me to struggle 
To know this is real

The choices we make
They show us the truth
You waited all night
It was a lifetime for you

You think you’ve won?
By seeing me drown?
I breathe under water,
You just keep holding me down

With my one last breath 
I can’t say your name
You’re coming with me baby
We’ve got one last shot to take

To throw it all away
Let the world drink me in
Believing I’m sorry
Just hurts me again

Got no resolve
To keep floating on
Reduce me to ash
Burn this last song

You think you’ve won?
By seeing me drown?
I breathe under water,
You just keep holding me down

With my one last breath 
I can’t say your name
You’re coming with me baby
We’ve got one last shot to take

Music & Lyrics by: Angelo Platano & Lisa Kohlwey

One Last Shot

Tip toeing on egg shells 
Tossing our hopes in wishing wells
We’re always talking 
But nobody tells 
Keeping all that we have
Till it all sells


We are just dreams in dreams stuck in dreams 
Sleep walking eyes open

Weeks are just weeks by days, months in years 
Sleep walking just hoping

We are just drifting 

Balancing in the sand 
Wish washing playing the hand 
We’re always shaking 
It up till we can’t stand 
Heeling what we have
Till they all understand 

Shallow water in shore
Letting the tide take back more
We’re always faking 
It up till we’re making 
Being what we know 
Till we’re mistaking 

Music & Lyrics by: Angelo Platano & Adam Cohen

just drifting

Count the colors you see
count the colors for me
the sun, its moon, the love, it's hate, the life, the death

I’m cancer born 
But I’m bitter sworn 
The hot makes me cold 
I’m as young as I’m old 
But the changing leaves 
It brings a change in me 
And I love to count them as they fall 
There’s so many things that I don’t know 
but I'm okay to say that's so

Count the colors 

When winter, spring, and summer subsides 
The tide changes and so do I 
Green to brown and falling down 
Less light in our eyes
But birds will still sing
Autumn is king 

The colors I see 
change the sounds I hear 
My eyes see words 
that disappear 
Greens to browns 
snow shuts us in
The leaves that have fell 
are for us to begin

Count the colors
count the colors 

When winter, spring, and summer subsides 
The tide changes and so do I 
Green to brown and falling down 
The birds will still sing
Autumn is king 

Count the colors you see….
Count the colors for me...
the Sun, it’s moon, the love, it’s hate, the life, it’s death. 
Sunrise in disguise
dying leaves
Autumn king
will let them all be....

When winter, spring, and summer subsides 
The tide changes and so do I 
Green to brown and falling down 
Still light in our eyes
But birds will still sing
Because Autumn....

autumn

Lyrics & Music by:
Angelo Platano 

Kinda Grey
You push me away
In a long breath, held too long
I might not hear you say
“Don’t turn away
If you love me stay
I didn’t mean to make you run away”

It’s been a long drive
I shouldn’t keep you waiting…
If we don’t die
There’s a chance that we can make it…
…kinda grey 

Kinda grey
I push you away
You held your breath too long 
it doesn’t matter anyway
Never heard 
You say
“Just close your eyes for me
It’ll all be okay..”

It’s been a long drive
I shouldn’t keep you waiting…
If we don’t die
There’s a chance that we can make it…
…kinda grey 

It’s been a long drive
I shouldn’t keep you waiting…
If we don’t die
There’s a chance that we can make it…
…kinda grey

Kinda Grey

Colorado Moon 


First you took my breath
Sunlight fading pink and gold
Above that skyline

I heard the song she sang
With some time, we’re growing old
That violin rang

Maybe this dance
You’ll take my hand, oh
When the cadence is right, we’ll both swoon
Under that Colorado…

Then you took my heart
Laying it bare
Aspen trees watching us

You burned through the summer 
That vagabond stare
Maybe forsaking us?

When you get cold
You’ll pull next to me, oh
Keep the heat we’ve made, here in this room
Under that Colorado Moon…

Colorado Moon (full)

Angelo Platano: Guitars, Piano, and Vox

Just this side of cold

Let go of my hand
Just let me fall 
…wasn’t any love here
If anything at all
And we land
Just this side of cold

This side of cold

The boomerang

From the first time I saw your face
Kicking rocks, picking daisies for you…

The boomerang

Across this road

When you smile
Don’t hold your breath too long
For another
Might come and take your guns

When you drive
Don’t close your eyes too long
‘Cause somewhere
She’s waiting while you run

Across this road
All bluebird high
Follow the ghosts
And ride all night

When you taste
Don’t chew it up too long
Cause it’s another day kitty
Another mouse will come

When you turn 
Don’t stop to meet her eyes
It ain’t just her fangs 
That bite and sting inside

Across this road
All bluebird high
Follow the ghosts
And ride all night

Across this road
