Front Street, from "Everything is a Lot."

I’m in a meat-pack plant by the gutterside 
A slaughterhouse apartment with a slice of lime 
I’m cruisin’ with the bruisers, boozin’, I’ll be a suitor, losing my mind. 
Because there’s nothing to find. 
The fetid stench of bad intentions hangs in the sweat 
I’m in a sauna hot with drama and I’m tryin’ to forget 
All the masochistic rapture mis-steps 
Imminent pleasure’s ready to cut. To the bone. 
You said “let loose!” But now you’re lost. 
While you tied your boots like a tightrope noose. 
The problem chased the taste of the cause. 
While the evidence supports the truth. Is 80 enough proof for you? 

Here’s to my lady and I’m coming inside 
Drink to me baby, and what’s left of what’s right. 
It’s easier to use and lose than never to have used you 
On a fucked up Saturday night. Good times on Front Street. 

Loose lips sink ships, captain, will you go down? 
Float your boat and overboard and hoping to drown. 
Tell me what prevented you from coming downtown alone. 
Because we know you’re not afraid. 
This chastity is Greek to me, the meat is still fresh 
The gnashing teeth will masticate the bone from the flesh 
Since nobody will tell me where these bastards go, I’ll see for myself. 
I think they might go to hell. 
You said “let loose!” But now you’re lost. 
While you tied your boots like a tightrope noose. 
The problem chased the taste of the cause. 
While the evidence supports the truth. Is 80 enough proof for you? 

Here’s to my lady and I’m coming inside 
Drink to me baby, and what’s left of what’s right. 
It’s easier to use and lose than never to have used you 
On a fucked up Saturday night. Good times on Front Street. 

LAST CALL FOR MORALS, BETTER COVER YOUR DRINK 
SODOM AND GOMORRA’D LET IT GO DOWN THE SINK

Lyrics:
A sea of blue to dub an island free
The same damn blue to drown the life inside of me
These thoughts surround me like a hurricane
Standing in the eye of what I can't explain

I was hoping I'd be someplace else
These vacation destinations cannot hide from ocean swells
Are you wonderin' why I'm looking so pale?
Baby, even sunshine can burn like hell

Headed south to find tranquility
A golden beach and 5 star amenities
That's all changed now with a mother of 3
You snatched her children right in front of me

No shoes, a shirt, a load of problems
She looked at me and said,
"How can a house so white be painted so blood red?"

"Were you hopin' I'd be someplace else?
These vacation destinations cannot hide from ocean swells
God blessed the USA and cocaine cartels
Tell me, which one should I run from?
Can you lend some help?"

Mmm, mmm

I was hoping I'd be someplace else
Someplace to rest and let my mind get well
Are you wondering why I'm looking for more?
There's fine print in the pamphlet of the Golden Door

Hopin' I'd be someplace else
These vacation destinations cannot hide from ocean swells
Are you wondering why I'm looking so pale?
Baby, even sunshine can burn like hell

Baby, even sunshine can burn like hell
Baby, even sunshine can burn like hell

Lyrics:
Going down the same old street, reminding you to pace your feet
You've had a rock in your shoe since the day she left you
Pick up your stride, don't look behind
You've got the whole wide world right in front of your eyes
So empty your kicks and lace 'em up nice and tight

It's ok to rest your head every now and then
To let your wandering heart catch up to you again

Driving down the same old road
The turf met the metal, so you lighten your load
Sparks in your lane since the day she left you
Ignore the signs, don't look behind
Find solace in the skyline kissing the headlights
They've always been a part of you

And it's ok to rest your head every now and then
To let your wandering heart catch up to you again
It's ok to rest your head every now and then
To let your wandering heart catch up to you again

It's ok to rest your head every now and then
To let your wandering heart catch up to you again
So let your wandering heart catch up to you again
Let your wandering heart catch up

lyrics:
Regina, I'm so glad you're back 
You saw the signs, you did the math 
The vacant lot on 29, the GPS it cost you time 
Regina, you are safe but worn 
You saw the sights worth looking for 

The nuts and bolts went flyin' 
And you're tire is on its rim 
Regina, they all heard you took the wagon for a spin 

Regina, I'm so glad you're back 
What's done is done, it's in the past 

Don't get so distracted with your eyes fiixed on the road 
Everyone who doubts you has their skeletons in tow 
Let it go 

Tired eyes play tricks 
And what's perceived, it rings within 
Regina, they can act like they all know where you have been 

But I know you, and I know you're sane 
You took a detour in the rain 
But I knew that you'd come 'round again 

Don't get so distracted with your eyes fixed on the road 
Everyone who doubts you has their skeletons in tow 

And I'm feelin' what you're feelin' 
I know just what you know 
Let it go 
Let it go

Your Company

Old cell phone recordings, broken down cars, and unhurried mornings.  From the hills of Binghamton NY, comes a sound rooted in passion and honesty, deepened by a soulful voice and emotionally direct lyrical imagery.  Self-proclaimed "rock-infused coffee shop," Devinne's solo act brings a bite to the serene, taking her fruitful experiences and dipping them in dark chocolate

From the hills of Binghamton NY, comes a sound rooted in passion and honesty, deepened by a soulful voice and emotionally direct lyrical imagery.  Self-proclaimed "rock-infused coffee shop," Devinne's solo act brings a bite to the serene.

Her new album "Silver Line" sheds light on stereotypical, stigmatic, and human topics that tend to be swept under the rug or go unnoticed by the status quo.  The underlying theme is Pain, and by unveiling the darkness, her goal is to bring healing, awareness, and connection to those who feel alone in their personal journeys.
