FOOLS RUSH IN by Matt Michaelis:  lyrics

V1
Fools rush in from yesterday, cornerin’ my mind
They criticize all I say of what I left behind
Whatever I may do is not reflective of my past
As I have learned from all the leaps I’ve made too fast

V2
I dream of you, walkin’ in, back from another life
Drawn in, to what coulda been, but I can’t look back
Searchin’, squanderin’, for the one who makes me feel the same
When I had a different name

Chorus
I’ll never know what will show of this great disparity
How can you say that this was meant to be?
Why you came and went are of the questions of my mind
They’ll be with me until the day I die

V3
Black or white, wrong or right, you walked my line
I’m still not over it, cause I can’t take it back
I gave it all, confided in, to your web of lies
Back when I’s on the other side

Chorus
I’ll never know what will show of this great disparity
How can you say that this was meant to be?
Why you came and went are of the questions of my mind
They’ll be with me until the day I die

V4
Inasmuch as my innocence was vilified
I will fly at any hint of blame
From time to time I’ll try my will amplified
To rid myself of wounds from the game

Chorus
I’ll never know what will show of this great disparity
How can you say that this was meant to be?
Why you came and went are of the questions of my mind
They’ll be with me until the day I die

“MASQUERADE” by Matt Michaelis:  lyrics

Verse 1
Hey!  Bleach blonde spray tan with the perfect man, force feed me to understand
You only show what you want us to know, but there’s a whole entire world below
I got my front row view, but I will never know the real you
This I will rectify before the day I die

Chorus
Tell me what’s really going on
Tell me something I can feel
Can’t take any more barrage of your mirage in here
Tell me what you’re all about 
You can’t make me figure it out
Just want to live and breathe what I can see is real
Will you tell me?

Verse 2
Let’s go, sail away, escapade, to the perfect place, in every perfect way
One track mind, all your time, wine & dine to knead my paradigm
What about your multitudes, and all their time you abuse?
Blow dry these eyes with your pretty lies

Chorus
Tell me what’s really going on
Tell me something I can feel
Can’t take any more barrage of your mirage in here
Tell me what you’re all about 
You can’t make me figure it out
Just want to live and breathe what I can see is real
Will you tell me?

Verse 3
Masquerade, price we pay, all our days just slip away
To no one else our souls will sell, than to the hole in yourself
I’m perceived, decidedly, by what’s inside of me
Defiantly, I am freed, from this den of thieves

Chorus
Tell me what’s really going on
Tell me something I can feel
Can’t take any more barrage of your mirage in here
Tell me what you’re all about 
You can’t make me figure it out
Just want to live and breathe what I can see is real
Will you tell me?

Matt Michaelis is an independent songwriter and producer based in Sacramento, CA. He specializes in guitar-driven rock and roll with blues, funk, and psychedelic influences. His musical influences in-clude Jack White, Rival Sons, Gary Clark Jr., and the Black Keys. His work has received recognition in several international songwriting competitions, including Songdoor, the Great American Song Contest, and the American Songwriting Awards. In 2017, he released his debut album, called “RESOLUTE.” The completion of this album marked an important milestone for Michaelis. After having grown up playing the piano, he severely injured his vocal chords while learning how to sing in 2009. After almost giving up music completely, Michaelis decided to learn the guitar; expanding his abilities to produce music. His second album, “INTERGALACTIC,” was released on 1/1/20. What makes Michaelis unique is that due to his injured vocal chords, although his collaboration with multiple singers means each song is unique, all his songs have a common identity: angst-driven rock and roll interlaced with messages of perseverance, individuality, and determination. “INTERGALACTIC” is available on all digital music platforms.
