Around In Circles

Just an animal 
Trying to claw my way out
Kept in a cage,
So you can own the stage
I know your ways

The spotlight keeps you warm at night
The rich taste of fame is what you like
There's no need to hold on so tight
It's black and white

You're chasing hard
I'm pacing in the dark
So you, you can be the superstar

Superstar

Sleeping Alone

Three different days, but the same night
You knew how to walk and talk just right
A polished look and a crooked smile
You knew that dirty line would make me stay a little while

I should've gotten out when I had the chance
But it's cold sleeping alone

Three straight months in different years
When you soaked my heart in laughs and beer
You'd say I was perfection a few weeks in
I couldn't keep my hands off your freckled skin

I should've gotten out when I had the chance
But it's cold sleeping alone

Ooo, it's time for flight
'Cause a single word
And I'm a moth to light

Back in town for a couple nights
Feels good to hide in this bar's blue light
On my way out, I'll see that crooked smile
You'll laugh and say, "Hey, stay a little while"

I should've gotten out when I had the chance
But it's cold
But it's cold sleeping alone

Sleeping Alone

Music & Lyrics: Callie Benjamin

There's something in the air tonight
A feral wind is twisting through my spine
There's amber runnin' wild in your eyes
Makes me wanna howl
Yeah, makes me wanna howl

Keep me up all night
The sun will be like a knife in my side
I wanna be on that lightless high
Ahhh

Come on, come undone
The primal side ain't easy to outrun
A scant moon is smokin' like a gun
Makes me wanna howl
Yeah, makes me wanna howl

Keep me up all night
The sun will be like a knife in my side
I wanna be on that lightless high
Ahhh

When the righteous rise, I'll step down from my throne
And turn back to stone
When the righteous rise, I'll step down from my throne
And turn back to stone
But for now, I'll howl
But for now, I'll howl

(Chorus)

Na na na na na na na, nocturnal
Na na na na na na na, nocturnal
Na na na na na na na, nocturnal
Ahhh


Nocturnal

Until next time, I'll see you soon
Until next time, yeah, I'll miss you, too
But did you ever think
Maybe I don't have to leave
Maybe you don't have to go
Maybe we could always know
What's next for us
What's coming for us
Is there still an "us"

Until next time, my body will ache
Until next time, every bone of mine might as well break
Could you open your mind for just ten seconds
And think of what I could be for you, and you for me
But you're so greedy, and I'm too needy 
And deep inside we know it won't work out
But something give me hope
When you hold my face too close and you kiss me
As if losing me would be the end of your world

Until next time, I'll try to get over you
Until next time, I'll move on like "normal" people do
Until next time, I'll consider someone else 
As something you could have been
Something you still could be
If you'd consider me as something you need, yeah

Until next time, until next time
Until next time, I'll want you more than ever

DAEM
noun [deym]
1. One's creative pseudonym evoked as a new representation of a once-known derogatory, yet equally once-known honorable term directed towards women.
2. Born and raised in Montana, she attained a degree from Berklee College of Music and now hails from Nashville, Tennessee. DAEM is fervently pursuing the artistry and craftsmanship of songwriting. She does not identify with one genre, but rather thrives within the realms of what is inspired; collaborating the organic elements of prior musical generations with today's opportunistic digital era. Amidst her passions for creating, DAEM is also an activist and advocate for humanitarian causes, specifically Victims' Rights.

After teaming up with Andrew Seltzer (Coyote Kisses, FLORIO, Amy & The Engine) to release her debut EP, 'Night Songs' -- a conceptual compilation of heartache, ways of animal instinct and odes to dreams of a vintage lifestyle that occur when the sun falls asleep -- DAEM hit the road with Australia-based act, NONIE. Upon returning, she dove straight back into creative depths. She shall be rising back to the surface, new gems in-hand, within the months to come.

DAEM is currently managed and booked by Blue Groove Industries of Melbourne, Australia.
