My Bed

I lie here pretending I'm something I'm not
Like I have self control that you know I ain't got
Like I'm
Not as hopeless 
As you always thought
Well I lie here and try to convince you I'm clean
And I know that to do this is evil and mean
I'm no different
Than the tragedy you've always seen

'Cause the elephant in the room
Is the bottle in my bag
My whole life smells like the circus
And still you can't see the red flags
I once was the strong man
Now walking the tightrope in drag

'Cause I drank more whiskey than water today
I drank more whiskey than water today
You loathe me, my love 'cause I'm lying to get you to stay
Promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday
Promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday

This Garden is empty, the moon has gone dark
Not a sound in this wilderness, 'cept for my heart
And it's pounding
Like it's gonna explode
Well this life never was such a walk in the park
Endless journey and I didn't ask to embark
So I stumble
Along some strange Roman Road

And I use
Any medicine I lay my hands on
And I disappear 
Along with any ground I had to stand on
So I fear
When I fall I'll have nothing to land on
Come on, fall into nothing with me..........

And we'll drink more whiskey than water today
We'll drink more whiskey than water today
I'm lying, my love 'cause I need you and want you to stay
When I promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday
Promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday

Come on and fall into nothing with me...........................................

Whiskey and Water

Daniel's music is simple, raw, at times dark, at times inviting but always with a sense of vulnerability. Daniel has mesmerized listeners to absolute silence with a charisma and a voice that is angelic, full of power and unique.

Growing up in Cincinnati, teachers used to complain to his mother that he made weird noises in the classroom. He always had music in his head and lyrics on his mind. At the age of 8 he began writing songs and beats on a Casio keyboard his sister gave him. He played trumpet in high school in addition to making beats and writing songs on piano and guitar.

With only his guitar and his notebooks, he packed his bags and moved to Brooklyn. This Cincinnati transplant created a buzz based on his memorable songs, unique voice and powerful live performances. It wasn't long before the people of Brooklyn began to notice and took him in as one of their own. They began telling their friends and eventually industry insiders took notice.

Daniel has captivated audiences with stunning performances that have won over fans, press and music bloggers alike. He has opened for Shawn Mullins, Heartless Bastards, The Head and The Heart, Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, Suzanne Vega, Jessica Lea Mayfield, The White Buffalo, Tim Rogers, O'Death, The Handsome Family, Lights, Anna Calvi and Cold Speck among others.

Searching for the right producer, Wayne returned home to Cincinnati and began working with the legendary Brian Olive at his studio The Diamonds. They are currently finishing up his debut full-length album. The album consists of 10 songs and showcases Wayne and Olive's work as well as players from Cincinnati's smokin' hot music scene.

Daniel has a new band, called Daniel Wayne & The Silver Lines. The band consists of Daniel Wayne, Songwriter/Vocalist, Tim Seiwert (also in The Newbees) on Drums, Mike Lamping (formerly of Heartless Bastards) on Bass, Billy Alletzhauser (also in The Hiders) on Lead Guitar, and also Vocals Beth Harris (also in The Hiders/The Perfect Children) and Kristen Kreft (also in The Perfect Children). 

Although the band is new, they have been quickly winning over audiences in Cincinnati with their sound, they call Cintuky Rock n' Soul! Stay tuned for more news and updates!
