renegade baby jane
escaping on a runway train
no one fault and none to blame
but the rain

seething virus pirates eyes
The pleasured shock of your surprise
a future you could not surmise
no matter how hard you try


A twisted torso  and a tangled tongue
remember when the rock was young 
you used to dream but not you’re
done like you’re 
in a cocoon 

A slip of the wrist 
a turn of fate
a load stone on the levee breaks
how much longer can you levitate
when the ceiling come crashing down

I seen you burning out
underneath the things to do today
well I thought
open the door to your heart

defined by what you left behind
while sorry senses leave you blind
groping for your tasteless minnd
While it fades away again

Eternity upon your lips
Haunted by her anguished kiss
and the memories of her tenderness
And her insecurities

Cocoon

Gabriel Mayers got his start playing in the subways of New York City. In 2012 he recorded several videos for Brett Paine Murphy's Youtube video series Buskrs, in which he was pictured playing underground. In 2014 he was asked to fly to Hollywood by Grammy Award Nominated Record Producer Linda Perry, to star in a reality series about songwriters on VH1 called Make or Break: The Linda Perry Project. In 2016 he was featured in Oscar Nominee Josh Fox’s documentary, How to let go of the world (and love all the things climate can’t change), soon after traveling the country, playing shows alongside the films premiere. That same year Gabriel’s original song, Sixty Charisma Scented Blackbirds’would be placed on the 2017 Academy Awards shortlist for Best Original Song.
