Dragons

The Eastern Skyline (DEMO)

Here's another demo set to be recorded for our first album!

San Diego (DEMO)

The first single from our upcoming album, "Half-Hearted & Climbing!"


Lyrics:
She breathes deeper through those eyes, puts on Beatles forty-fives 
She don't know where to go, who to be or what to dream 
Cause every time she flips the lights on they turn on for her 
But she's still afraid just to open up the door out from 

San Diego seems to always want her back 
But beyond the rainbow she just wants to find a path 
Cause she doesn't know just who she is 
She's just from San Diego, and San Diego knows who she will be 

And as she walks these Boston streets, she's getting bored just by the week 
She gets by and never cries, afraid that soon her dream might die cause 
She just wants to be onstage with the bright lights beating down 
But she still can't escape the comfort that she gets from downtown 

Chorus 

When love passes by her door and in a flash it's gone 
She'll just carry on 
All the sunlight turns to streetlights in the darkness 
As she grows older through her skin 

Chorus

San Diego

Here's the second single from our first album!  Enjoy a free download :)

Sunlight, sunlight mixes with my blues
Makes my smile shine the brightest colors
And I don't care that my girl just left me
It only makes my skin that much tougher

And when this groove hits me right
And I'm feeling in the moment
There's only so much I can say to you
Before I sing a song that goes like this

Chorus
I don't care about the heartbreak
My heart ain't broken anymore
Cause at the end of the day
Everything is where it belongs, and you know that I am where I belong

Hey baby, you think that you broke me
But you could not break a nail
And now you think that you left me
Well I think your heartbreak project failed

Chorus

I am where I belong
I am where I belong
I am where I belong

Chorus

Where I Belong

Yet another single from our upcoming album - out 9/16.  Like the others, this is for free download!

She's giving me a hard time waving those dirty black boots up in my face 
You know her man might not condone my lips around looking for a taste 
I try to tell her this isn't me, girl - you're not allowed to grab my hand 
But she's got temptation that no other man can understand 
She's got me going 
And I should be going 
Under the spell and now I'm falling in 

Chorus 
She's so heavy and she's so strong 
And I don't think that I can resist 
She's a cheater and she did him wrong 
And I can't take the things that she does 
The boots are just too strong 

I never had a love like this, so beautiful and yet so wrong 
I can't explain how I just love and hate her stringing me along 
She's getting angry, I'm getting reckless, I think it's time I left her place
But I gotta tell you she's got seduction that a man just can't erase 
She's got me breathing 
And I should be leaving 
But I don't think I'm gonna leave 

Chorus

The final single from our album, "Half-Hearted and Climbing!"  Enjoy a free download!

Lyrics:

Wherever I go, whatever I do
The eastern skyline brings me back
Whenever I'm down, whenever I'm blue
The eastern skyline has my back

Chorus
And I know there is time to see the world
And I know there is time to find the pearls
And if I move on I'll be running all the time
Won't stop till it's love I find

I'm never alone, I'm never without
The energy that fills my soul
Whenever I cry, whenever I doubt
The snow and gravel bring me home

Chorus

The Eastern Skyline

Here's the tiniest little recording from our album, called "Off Of My Mind."  

Enjoy a free download of our tune!

Off Of My Mind

Verse 
Cities overhead, chivalry ain't dead anymore 
Something hit the daze, put you in your place 
Every light is so inviting, there's no time to talk it out 

Chorus 
Cause we only got the night 
We only got the night 
And it might not be what's right, but it'll make you feel alive tonight 
We only got the night 

Courage, drink it down, no one else around anymore 
Watching you get down, stalking battle ground 
Let's abandon intuition, let the frustrations out 

Chorus 

Every time I see you flying, there I go and then I'm out 

Chorus

Only Got the Night

You keep leaving me hanging 
You won't tell me what's wrong 
I'm just stuck in a panic 
Feel like crying for just so long 

What am I supposed to do now 
You've covered my eyes with a sheet 
I've been blinded by your loving 
No escape, you just leave me 

Chorus 
Waiting by the phone, Waiting by the phone 
I am tired of the games, tired of the wait 
Won't you look into my eyes, take off your disguise 
Tell it to me straight, cause baby I just can't wait anymore 

Time is working against us 
Lies are ruling my mind 
I'm just trying to make some sense of this 
But dead ends are all that I find 

Please just tell me the problem 
Let me be your helping hand 
I may not be so able 
But I got love that you'll never understand if I keep 

Chorus

Waiting by the Phone
