Written by: Lyle Divinsky

Lyrics:
I’ve been falling by the wayside
Can’t seem to get my mind right 
Walking blind in the daylight

VERSE
There’s a war in my mind
And I’m tired, of my body being the battlefield, I 
Try to find a different way to heal, not hide

Cause I’ve been living in my shadow too long
I’ve been tuck in my old ways
Waiting on the next day to make a change

CHORUS x2
I’ve been falling by the wayside
Can’t seem to get my mind right 
Walking blind in the daylight

VERSE 2
There’s a battle in my heart
It’s time to start, finding some respite, how
Cause I’m getting desperate, now

I can’t be living in my shadow no more
I’ve been stuck in my old ways
Waiting on the next day to make a change

CHORUS
I’ve been falling by the wayside
Can’t seem to get my mind right
Walking blind in the daylight

I’ve been falling by the wayside
It’s time to get my mind right
Finally seeing with clear eyes

OUTRO
(I’ve been) Searching high but feeling low
Know what’s right but can’t let go, can’t let go 
(I been) Living life but dying slow
Feel like it’s impossible, but no more

Searching high but feeling low
Know what’s right but can’t let go, can’t let go 
Living life but dying slow
See I put my life on hold, but no more


I’ve been falling by the wayside
It’s time to get my mind right
Finally seeing with clear eyes

Lyrics:

The cards are all stacked
The dice are all packed
Collecting dust on the shelf
Two sets, instead of roulette
Always been better for my health
I ain't a man with the money in his hand
Doubling down on 22
Well I ain't a gambler, but I'll risk it all for you

It ain't easy, to be me
Traveling all cross this world
When all I can think of
Is that once in a lifetime,
Angel of a hometown girl
You know I ain't, exactly a saint
I've tried my best to be true
Well I ain't a gambler, but I'll risk it all for you

They say that man can measured
By looking his fear in the eye
Oh but I just can't stand here without making it clear
That there's no one else in this life
That I need to have by my side, but you

I know that this here ain't simple
And it might just get harder still
You've got a man, who does all he can
But he can't do the things that will
You need your time, believe me that's fine
Your peace of mind must be true
You know I ain't a gambler, but I'll risk it all for you

They say that man can measured
By looking his fear in the eye
Oh but I just can't stand here without making it clear
That there's no one else in this life
That I need to have by my side, but you

I know the cards are gonna lay,
Just the way the get dealt
But I wouldn't be half the man I wanna be
If I didn't say how I felt
You need your time, well time you'll find
To take your time to think through
Well I ain't a gambler, I'm just a patient man here,
Risking it all for you

Risk It All

Lyrics:

VERSE
All you want’s to find you way home
But you’re just not exactly sure
What that means any more, are you?

All you need’s to find a place to roam
But you just can’t seem to find
Any space for peace of mind, can you?
Take all the time, all the time you need 

VERSE
The hurt feels like it’s never going to heal
But time will be your medicine
And all the pain that you’ve been in, will go

One day you gon’ wake and realize
That all of this has taught you more
You could’ve ever dreamed before, it’s true
 	Take all the time, all the time you need
 	You better believe

CHORUS
I will wait forever for your love
I will wait forever for your love
For your love

VERSE
The days and weeks are bricks laid on your path
They’ll give you more solid ground
But cracks leave truths left to be found, for you 

While growing up, don’t forget your past
There’s lessons in reflection and
Sometimes the beginning is the end, it’s true, it might be for you

CHORUS
I will wait forever for your love
I will wait forever for your love
I will wait forever for your love
I will wait forever for your love
For your love

I Will Wait

Lyrics:
Echoes of her whispers dancing through my mind
I can taste the tips, of her wine-soaked lips lingering on mine
I won’t grip tight, only love her strong
And hope that this won’t pass me on
She comes and goes, like a whisper in the wind

I can see her smile for days after she’s gone
I wonder sometimes, does she see mine
And wish for something more?
Another night, another dawn
With hopes that she won’t pass me on
She comes and goes, like a whisper in the wind

Let me in, oh, don’t you worry dear
Life has been a struggle, but it won’t be when I’m near
Take my love, let it, carry you away
The weight of your world wears wings today

Days have turned to hours and those hours are counting low
Wheels and wings, and things that bring you closer to my door
The flowers fall, and hit the floor
You’re here in my arms once more
You’ve come back, like a whisper in the wind

Let me in, oh, don’t you worry dear
Life has been a struggle, but it won’t be when I’m near
Take my love, let it, carry you away
The weight of your world wears wings today

Days have turned to weeks and the years are building slow
And now my love, lingers on your tongue as you exit from our door
I hang the chimes on the high porch lines so your song gives me the sign
You’ve come home, like a whisper in the wind

Let me in, oh, don’t you worry dear
Life has been a struggle, but it won’t be when I’m near
Take my love, let it, carry you away
The weight of your world wears wings today
The weight of your world wears wings today

Whisper in the Wind

This is the bonus track for Chapter 2 of my album "Seasons"

Lyrics:
I’m tired of running, I’m too slow to win
I can’t quite remember, what I’m running from again
So I just take a sip of coffee, let the trouble come right in
Sometimes we’re just lost ‘fore we begin

Had some high hopes, then I fell on further down
Tried to get back on the saddle, but that horse ran outta town
So I’ll pick myself up, and dust off my crown
Sometimes we’re better lost… than found

I’ve studied all the windows, the sunlight through the blinds
Measured all the shadows, about 7 or 8 times
But no matter how I trace em, they can never be mine
Just like you

It’s easy enough to wake up, but getting harder to live
This worlds a bit too fucked up to imagine having kids
I’m in love with a woman, but I’m crumbling within
I’m just searching 

Been trying to figure out, what is there to do 
To give this muted heart of mine, a slightly brighter hue
I’m not anybody’s someone, feel like everybody’s fool
I’m searching 

These love songs through the speakers, like sand on open wounds
Guess I’ll fix myself a joint and try to sing a different tune
But the words just slip away, and disappear into the blue
Just like you

I’m ready to remember, ready to begin
(Ready to) get back to being a man who can learn to love again
Ready to let down these walls, that kept this hurt in // that let this hurt win
I’m ready

It isn’t always pretty, sure (as hell) isn’t fast
To get to realizing that this hurt ain’t gonna last
WIth a little bit more time, I know this pain is gonna pass
I’m ready

Searching

I'm not like the other guys
I'm not the type to fake it, fake it
I'm not searching for a fight
When I want something, I take it
But I'm seeing that smile as a sign
That you need to tell your man goodbye

I don't wanna waste no more time
Let's take this love and make it, make it
I need to have you tonight
This feeling just can't shake it
It's playing over in my mind
How will we know if we don't try

So blow out that candlelight
And let the incense burn, burn
Cause in the darkness you still shine
Lay back now it's your turn
Hands tied and now you're mine
And you'll never wanna say goodbye

I don't wanna waste no more time
Let's take this love and make it, make it
I need to have you tonight
This feeling just can't shake it
It's playing over in my mind
How will we know if we don't try

Anyone who knows me well knows I love me some 90’s r&b. I decided to finally lean in. This is the first self-made beat I’ve ever released too, so I’m equal parts nervous as hell and so hyped. I hope you dig it.

All About You

Negronis are my favorite cocktail.  90’s R&B is one of my favorite musical genres.  Because of that, I don’t think I cook up a better combination for the last song in Chapter 3’s R&B deep dive.  I hope you all love it as much as I loved making it.

Like it, Love it, Share it, Make a Negroni to it (send me photos + videos!)

Lyle Divinsky is one of those unlikely success stories.  Raised in Maine, he then cut his teeth underground playing in the New York City subways for 5 years before his self-released album, Uneven Floors, launched him into ears around the globe - reaching number 2 on the UK Soul Charts within weeks alongside radio play in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa.  

Soon after... he was picked up by the Colorado funk powerhouse, The Motet, which took him to some of the biggest and most historic stages and festivals in the country, from Red Rocks and Madison Square Garden to the legendary Tipitina’s in New Orleans and The Fillmore in San Francisco. He truly has taken his music from Subways to Stadiums.

After 5 years, 2 studio albums, 2 live albums, and over 600 shows with The Motet, he’s getting back to his roots, and coming to a stage near YOU!
