Don't Let Go

Catch fire
to feed the redemption,
or the desires,
jerking us around.
When you need to voice your frustration,
your silence speaks to ruin me now.
We cycle time again.

We shall be rued for what we do,
fighting the same protracted war.
Even should it turn our hearts to ash,
I see our success.
Cry love from the mountains high,
where I make my stand.
And you fly…

You fly,
stealing that ferocious beauty.
Fly far…
Don’t steal a glance.

The fools say know thyself
but how can we taste what water
until we pull from this well.
Maybe we’re fools ourselves.
Wrest away control.
Catch fire the dreams we whispered
across quiet nights.
Rising from that swan song,
a phoenix sheds its ash.
On these cold mountain heights
I stand crying.
And you fly…

You fly,
stealing that ferocious beauty.
Fly far!
Don’t steal a glance.
Fly far,
my ferocious beauty.
Fly far!
Don’t steal a glance.

Lyrics:
[verse]
the world's a scary place and all i do is pace
i'll never leave my room, they'll never see my face
i'm crying all alone on my melancholy throne
Knife up to my throat, wish i wasn't born
trapped inside my head, every breath becomes a cry
my shattered heart's in pieces, wounds that never seem to dry
daddy never loved me, i lost my mama at 16
ghost of who i should've been was lost in tragedy
pictures of my childhood burn inside my broken mind
memories of rejection cutting deeper than design
no one ever wanted me just a burden left to bleed
carrying the weight of all the pain and now i cannot breathe

[pre-chorus]
i'm just sitting on my bed wishing i was dead
you'll find me in the morning with a bullet to my head
i never wanted anything but your love and care
But all you did was hurt me leaving me just feeling bare

[chorus]
Broken (broken)
I'm so broken
Can't take this token
Of pain that's chosen
Woah-oh-oh
Nobody knows me (knows me)
Nobody holds me (holds me)
Watch how I'm falling
Watch how I'm calling

[DontWorryAlice]
I DONT WANNA TAKE MY TIME
JUST LET ME DIE
YOU PUT
THE NOOSE AROUND MY NECK 
ITS SO TIGHT
THEY PRAYED ON MY DEMISE 
TAKE THIS PAIN
FROM THIS LIFE OF MINE
YOU’LL DO US ALL A FAVOR
GOODBYE
I DONT WANNA TAKE
DONT COMPLAIN 
I’M NOT
RIGHT HERE 
JUST GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT

ITS NOT RIGHT HERE
I’M ALL I GOT
THEY LAUGHED AT MY TEARS
DIDNT MATTER IF I FOUGHT 


[breakdown]
[TinleighNichole]
LOOK AT ME NOW! (LOOK AT ME!)
WORTHLESS! BROKEN! NEVER EVER WHOLE!
EVERY MEMORY WILL FUCKING DESTROY
EVERYTHING I AM! (EVERYTHING!)
I AM NOTHING! (NOTHING!)
NOTHING! (NOTHING!)
NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING!
[DontWorryAlice]
TRAPPED IN THE NOISE
IM NOT YOUR FUCKING TOY
ALL I HEAR IS THE VOICE
GET TF OUT MY FACE

[chorus]
Broken (broken)
I'm so broken
Can't take this token
Of pain that's chosen
Woah-oh-oh
Nobody knows me (knows me)
Nobody holds me (holds me)
Watch how I'm falling
Watch how I'm calling

Beneath the Snow

Speed Dial in Heaven is a gritty, heartfelt country ballad about love that outlives the body, told through the raw voice of a man who's closer to a funeral than a wedding. With weathered lyrics and soul-deep storytelling, this song speaks to anyone who's wrestled with regret, love, and the ghosts that stay long after we're gone.

It’s a final message from beyond—equal parts whiskey-soaked confession, back-porch wisdom, and a brotherly reminder that you're never alone, even after death.

“You don’t need a quarter to call me in heaven. I’m always on your speed dial.”

If you've ever laughed through tears, raised a glass for the fallen, or cursed the mirror more than your enemies—this one’s for you.

Speed Dial

Another Day on Empty hits that feeling of trying to refill your soul when life’s been taking more than it gives.

Another Day On Empty

All Time Low

Dead Dave is the musical persona of Jeff Tyson, a North Carolina songwriter whose music walks the line between Southern grit and heartfelt reflection. Blending country, Americana, and rock influences, Dead Dave’s sound is raw, soulful, and unmistakably human; rooted in small-town stories, hard-won resilience, and the beauty found in imperfection.

With vivid storytelling, Dead Dave crafts songs that hit straight at the heart, from the anthemic defiance of “Tonight We Dance” to the haunting geopolitical “World Gone Mad”, and the poignant holiday ballad “The Ballerina.” His lyrics speak to the people who’ve been knocked down, gotten back up, and learned to find grace in the struggle.

Drawing comparisons to Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, and Zach Bryan, Dead Dave bridges the old and new, mixing roots authenticity with the emotional polish of modern country production. His music feels intimate yet cinematic, the kind of songs that sound just as powerful on a front porch as they do through stadium speakers.

Whether it's a song about love, loss, faith, or finding your place in a noisy world, Dead Dave’s music is a reminder that even when life gets messy, there’s still melody in the dust.
