Lyrics:
Go away from the life I used to forgive
Fly away so damn high no one things you’ll live
How can you just stand by and watch all your people die?
Deep inside you can’t life beat the fire within

But I feel like I’m not home
I’ve got nothing left to hold
You are slowly breaking me down
Caught in this Run Around

I am scared and I don’t know why
One more hit and I’ll get real high
All I need is to feel this fine
Can’t you see this is no surprise
And I know I’m getting sick
But my goal is to die real quick

But I feel like I’m not home
I’ve got nothing left to hold
You are slowly breaking me down
Caught in this Run Around

How can you just stand by and watch all your people die?
Deep inside you can’t life beat the fire within

But I feel like I’m not home
I’ve got nothing left to hold
You are slowly breaking me down
Caught in this Run Around

Run Around

An original song written, recorded, and produced by Kevin Phoenix. 

A hopeful love story that follows three different key events in a person’s life: The day they were accepted to college, the day they met the love of their life, and a day of reflection at an old age.

Lyrics:
Keep that light green in your eyes
And tell me about the things that will surprise
Like that day the mailman came
He said you’re going to college far away

Sitting in the quad studying god knows what
Your jet-black ponytail tied as uptight as you can be
So lost in your book you almost didn’t look up
You said I’m so glad I did we ensued

Keep your Emerald personality
Through these trying times
When you find yourself 
Lost out at sea
Just remember that I’m here for you
Here for you

Now here we are hair as white as snow
Oh the stories we’ve told and the ones we just know
We’ve spent years years years building a home
Oh what a life we’ve lived toe to toe

Keep your Emerald personality
Through these trying times
When you find yourself 
Lost out at sea
Just remember that I’m here for you
That I’m here for you
Here for you
Here for you

Emerald

An original song written, recorded, and produced by Kevin Phoenix.

Lyrics:
Remember us and the days we used to share
Our smiles stretched as far as the horizon and as bright as the Sun
I could see the passion in your eyes and the want in your heart

But those days are now gone
Wasted like the Opportunity of Yesterday
All our days are now gone
Wasted like the Opportunity of Yesterday

Now let's take a look at where we are right now
See how times have changed and we’ve both grown so much
Don't you see that this is just not meant to be and no-one is to blame

And those days are now gone
Wasted like the Opportunity of Yesterday
All our days are now gone
Wasted like the Opportunity of Yesterday

So those days are now gone
Wasted like the Opportunity of Yesterday
All our days are now gone
Wasted like the Opportunity of Yesterday

Wasted Opportunities

An original song written, recorded, and produced by Kevin Phoenix.

Lyrics:
I need somewhere to escape to anywhere but where I am right now
Get in my car lay my foot down driving out to the furthest city lines
A Road Trip

185K in my ‘02 driving out ‘til the road meets the sky
How far can I go before I break down find a new space to start anew
A Road Trip

Take me to, Somewhere new
Take me to, A place for me to explore

Trying new things breaking free from all the things that I once thought I knew
Where have I gone who have I met what have I done done and how have I changed
A Road Trip

Take me to, Somewhere new
Take me to, A place for me to explore

Take me home, To my friends my family my known
Take me home, To the place I know
My home

Road Trip

An original song written by Will Orlyk and Kevin Phoenix. Lyrics performed by Will Orlyk. Produced and recorded by Kevin Phoenix

Lyrics:
You see me in all your reflections
Can’t you see that we have lost all of directions
I was weak so I fell right through the floor
You left me on the ground begging for more

While you wanted to see me fall
You did what you did to see if I would call
My fantasies were deep within my core
Can’t you see it hurt I can’t do this anymore

And I will fight
For my life

You’ll see me there; I’m unaware
Of what you think, so why can’t you speak
Can we talk again? Oh, just as friends?
I’ll know what you’ll think and be incomplete

Why do you keep coming back?
I can’t make up for all that you lack
But I know that I am strong
And I know myself and I will carry on

And I will fight
For my life

You’ll see me there; I’m unaware
Of what you think, so why can’t you speak
Can we talk again? Oh, just as friends?
I’ll know what you’ll think and be incomplete

Incomplete

An original song written, recorded, and produced by Kevin Phoenix.

Lyrics:
The rich and successful tell me lies
You can’t trust a damn thing you see online
What can you take for truth in this dishonest world?

Whoa -oh, you don’t know anything at all
Whoa -oh, now it is time for the truth
Whoa -oh, I don’t know anything at all
Whoa -oh, now it is time for the truth

You’re all being manipulated
I kinda soft of feel like I am hated
Why does Amazon know my favourite type of soap?

Whoa -oh, you don’t know anything at all
Whoa -oh, now it is time for the truth
Whoa -oh, I don’t know anything at all
Whoa -oh, now it is time for the truth

Whoa -oh, I don’t know anything at all
Whoa -oh, I don’t know anything at all
Whoa -oh, I don’t know anything at all
Whoa -oh, now it is time for the truth

Original song written, recorded, and produced by Kevin Phoenix

Lyrics:
Baby, don't you cry tonight
Let me rock you to bed, as you close your eyes
Now I, sing to you this lullaby
Goodnight, and rest without a fright

I want to tell you
Those three words
Softly, with the purest intentions
You’ll know I’ll be there, by your side

Now, that you reset easily
I’ve got a truth you need to hear
I see it now, it’s all so clear
Let me sing to you this nighttime lullaby

I finally told you
Those three words
Softly, knowing I meant ‘em
I know you are my world

With, this last breathe I have
I wish to spend a moment with you’
Just know that I’m here, always with you
Singing you nighttime lullabies

Lyrics:
You must learn to swim with the tide
If you don’t, you’ll lose what's inside 
Friends are gone and you’re alone
Don’t come crying back to home

Cuz’ your life will change
Yeah, your life will change
And your life will change
Yeah, your life will change

Go out to the deep blue sea
It is where you’re meant to be
Your life might get a little rough
I swear that it will be enough

Cuz’ your life will change
Yeah, your life will change
And your life will change
Yeah, your life will change

Now things might be a little scarier now
You’re alone and don’t know where to go
Don’t rest your head until you’ve got a home
Just remember that you have grown

And your life has changed
Yeah, your life has changed
Cuz’ your life has changed
Yeah, your life has changed

And your life has changed
Yeah, your life has changed
And your life has changed
Yeah, your life has changed

Cuz’ your life has changed
Yeah, your life has changed

Change
