A high energy, dark & edgy anthemic fairytale about the sobering realization of self-doubt.  Fleetwood Mac meets Florence & The Machine.

There’s a pretty fantasy 
An emerald buried somewhere in the city
If it glitters then it’s gold
My ruby shoes are gonna save my soul 
Milk and honey, wait for me
At the end of a fairy tale street
Got no reason to disbelieve
Sometimes I feel like it wants me to leave 

The city
It knows I’m on my own
Over my head and far from home
All my dreams are calling me 
I’m caught between this concrete feeling and a stone
And The City knows

Got a suitcase full of doubt
I’m starvin’ half to death with a hunger for a crowd
Colored paper in the wind 
Just another sinner trying to buy my way in
My endless summer’s dying
All the leaves are brown 
And what I lost is more than what I found 

The city
It knows I’m on my own
Over my head and far from home
All my dreams are calling me 
I’m caught between this concrete feeling and a stone
And The City knows
The city knows you’re just one in a million
The city knows you’re just a dollar sign 
The city knows you’re out of your element 
The city knows you’re out of your mind

I am an ocean I captivate and sparkle 
I’m wide open I’m a natural miracle
But I hit the rocks and break like anyone else 
Can’t make it stop but I’ve got to be myself 
I’m a mystery, powerful and magical 

Suffer the silence
Sleeping in the cold
An old number calling me back home

The city 
It knows I’m on my own
Over my head and far from home
All my dreams are calling me 
And I don’t want to go        
The city it knows I’m on my own
Over my head and far from home
And all my dreams are calling me 
I’m caught between this concrete feeling and a stone

The City Knows

High energy self-empowering rock song about trying to escape the pressure of expectations; the ones we put on ourselves and the ones put on us by society. Written during the height of the pandemic, the uncertainty and isolation felt during that time influenced the theme of feeling stuck; in time and in your own head.

All this pressure
Suffocating soul
A race to get there
But I can't stay 
And I can't go
Running out of time
Wanna lay it on the line
But my jaded heart gets cold
And I want to know
What it's all for

I don't want to drown
I'm the only one 
Who can save me now
Gonna run for higher ground
From the quicksand town
This quicksand town

Haunted memories
Faded self esteem
Hallow vices
Hungry ghosts that feed
Listening to them 
As I fight with who I am
And who I'm supposed to be
Looking for escape
Trying to keep some faith

I don't want to drown
I'm the only one 
Who can save me now
Gonna run for higher ground
From the quicksand town

All I ever wanted was a feeling to be free
All these expectations
Are killing me
And I can't breathe

I don't want to drown
I'm the only one 
Who can save me now
Gonna run for higher ground
From the quicksand town
This quicksand town
