Looking in the mirror
Things are getting clearer to me
I don’t wanna be bitter
So what I gotta do to be free

Sipping on this brown
Got me feeling real down
Voices in my head
Got me spinning around
Turn da lights down
I close my eyes till I don’t hear a sound

I wake up every day 
Dreading my mistakes
I wake up every day
Wondering what more can I take
I wake up every day
With a big smile on my face
But then I stay awake
Then my heart starts to ache

I wake up every day
Like I need to take a break
Thinking ‘bout the time
You got up in my way
I want some better days 
I need some better days
What more can I take? 
Not much more I can take

I’m running out of options
Something’s gotta change right now
Right now
Waves of my emotions
Got me drowning in the open

Sipping on this brown
Got me feeling real down
Voices in my head
Got me spinning around
Turn da lights down
I close my eyes till I don’t hear a sound

I wake up every day 
Dreading my mistakes
I wake up every day
Wondering what more can I take
I wake up every day
With a big smile on my face
But then I stay awake
Then my heart starts to ache

I wake up every day
Like I need to take a break
Thinking ‘bout the time
You got up in my way
I want some better days 
I need some better days
What more can I take? 
Not much more I can take

Da da da 
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da 
Da da da da da da da da da

I wake up every day
Dreading my mistakes
I wake up every day 
Wondering what more can I take
I wake up every day 
With a big smile on my face
But then I stay awake 
Then my heart starts to ache

Wake up everyday

I wake up every day
Like I need to take a break
Thinking ‘bout the time
You got up in my way
I want some better days 
I need some better days
What more can I take? 
Not much more I can take

Oooh

Not much more I can take

Oooooh

Unbreakable

Wake Up

Oooooh 

Nothing lasts forever 
But I remember what it’s like when you walk through the door

Miss the feelings when I was younger
When everything seemed better

Oooh I’m numb to it all 

Oooooh 

This emptiness won’t fade away 
Never the same without you 

My heart breaks in two 
Cause I can’t have you 

I’m always looking for something more to life
It was possible to love like I loved you 

But I want to be whole again 
Truly happy and not pretend 

Oooh I’m numb to it all

Oooooh

This emptiness won’t fade away 
Never the same without you 

My heart breaks in two 
Cause I can’t have you 

Oooooooh

This emptiness won’t fade away 
Never the same without you 

My heart breaks in two 
Cause I can’t have you 

My heart breaks in two 
Not moving on without you

Numb To It All

And my heart is stronger than my head 
And I can’t live without you 

And my heart is stronger than my head 
And I can’t live without you 

If I had a dream tonight 
Maybe I could dream tonight of you
Instead of these things inside
The nightmares clouded in my mind

Can’t take back the things we said
Can’t take back the things we did
Can’t take back the life we had
Can’t live without you 

I can’t take back the things we said
Can’t take back the things we did
Can’t take back the life we had
Can’t live without you

And your blood is running through my veins
And I can’t breathe without you

And your blood is running through my veins
And I can’t breathe without you

If I had a dream tonight 
Maybe I could dream tonight of you
Instead of these things inside
The nightmares clouded in my mind

Can’t take back the things we said
Can’t take back the things we did
Can’t take back the life we had
Can’t live without you

I can’t take back the things we said
Can’t take back the things we did
Can’t take back the life we had
Can’t live without you

If I have a dream tonight 
Maybe I could dream tonight of you 
Instead of these things inside
The nightmares clouded in my mind 

I can’t take back the things we said
(If I had a dream tonight)
Can’t take back the things we did
(Maybe I could dream tonight of you)
Can’t take back the life we had
(Of you)
Can’t live without you

I can’t take back the things we said
(If I had a dream tonight)
Can’t take back the things we did
(Maybe I could dream tonight of you)
Can’t take back the life we had
(Of you)
Can’t live without you

Of you

Dream Tonight

Just wanna dance by the ocean
Feel the sand and breeze
Light up my emotions
I’m letting go take the keys

Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down
Me down
Me down

Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down
Me down
Me down

It would take a lot to break me
Don’t need you to save me
Let me be free
Let me be free

It would take a lot to break me
Don’t need you to save me
Let me be free
Let me be free

Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down

Just wanna dance the night away
But you won’t let me breathe
I’m up all night into day
I don’t care if you leave

Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down
Me down
Me down

It would take a lot to break me
Don’t need you to save me
Let me be free
Let me be free

It would take a lot to break me
Don’t need you to save me
Let me be free
Let me be free

Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down

Don't Bring Me Down

I’m one to write some deeper ballads, but I wanted to write a fun one about some of the wild nights and duels with hustlers I’ve had over the years with a flair of New Orleans magic!

LYRICS:
Hustler, stranger
I’m a sinner, you’re in danger
I’m the bella donna
In your whiskey tonight
You’re a preacher, I’m a painter
Blank canvas, for a savior
You see red when my heart turns black
Give me your booze, baby don’t look back

Flying high, New Orleans skies
We’re dancing with the moon
Voodoo eyes will hypnotize 
The wisest kings and fools

Romance, rehearsed
You’re bad, I’m worse
You play right, I won’t bite
Ain’t nothing but a cheeky little white lie

Voodoo, who do
Why you gotta do me so well?
Hold my breath cause I’m going down
Feel a shaking, we’re on hallowed ground

Flying high, New Orleans skies
We’re dancing with the moon
Voodoo eyes will hypnotize 
The wisest kings and fools

Ay ay ay ay

Flying high, New Orleans skies
We’re dancing with the moon
Voodoo eyes will hypnotize 
The wisest kings and fools

Flying high, New Orleans skies
We’re dancing with the moon
Voodoo eyes will hypnotize 
The wisest kings and fools

Flying high
Ohhhh
You, you know
Voodoo eyes

Kings & Fools

Fun fact: every time I hear this song, I cannot help but sing it. Hence the semi-viral TikTok in my kitchen last year that brings us here. Enjoy!

A Thousand Years

A song for broken hearts and last goodbyes.

Streamers And Balloons

As a band in recovery, we've felt the dark depths of addiction and the hope and gratitude of sobriety. This song is our plea to our friends and loved ones still on the other side of that struggle to know that you are worth it and you are loved.

Lyrics:
Silver spoon
Distant stare
Slumping over in your chair
Never seen your eyes so empty
Two dark wells

Darkened room
Lonely place
In my hands I hold your face
Never seen your eyes so empty
Two dark wells

But I know you just want peace
You get close when you go to sleep

Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
Come back to me
We got a pact to keep
Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
I’m screaming
Don’t you stay asleep

My sweet sleepwalker
How did you get so high?
My sweet sleepwalker
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Stay with me
Stay awake
Hold you as you start to shake
The kitchen floor is spinning
I can’t make you live

Trauma bonded to pain
It’s your gun, it’s your game
Cylinder is spinning
I can’t make you live

Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
Come back to me
We got a pact to keep
Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
I’m screaming
Don’t you stay asleep

My sweet sleepwalker
How did you get so high?
My sweet sleepwalker
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

This obsession is killing you slowly
And I don’t have the strength
I keep folding
So it’s time to wake up and keep going

I know you still want peace

Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
Come back to me
We got a pact to keep
Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
I’m screaming
Don’t you stay asleep

My sweet sleepwalker
How did you get so high?
My sweet sleepwalker
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Sleepwalker

Tragedy Of Physics

Liar

Liar (High Strung: Free Dance Motion Picture Version)

Cracking voice
And wandering eyes
I’m searching for
The right disguise
To mask me as
I come of age
But through it all
I can’t complain
 
Cause all in all
It’s never been better
All in all
It’s never been better
All in all
It’s never been better
The rise
The fall
The stormy weather
 
Crack the whip
It’s time to ride
Another day
Same old disguise
And as I come
Into my own
The price is worth
The pain I know
 
Cause All in all
It’s never been better
All in all 
It’s never been better
All in all 
It’s never been better
The rise
The fall
The changing weather
 
Don’t miss the point
Don’t miss the point
 
Cracking bones
And failing eyes
I’m throwing off
That old disguise
My loves
My life
I’ve come to terms
Each breath I take
Again I learn that
 
All in all 
It’s never been better
All in all 
It’s never been better
All in all
It’s never been better
The rise
The fall
The lovely weather
 
All in all 
It’s never been better
All in all 
It’s never been better
All in all
It’s never been better
The stormy
Changing
Lovely weather
