[Verse 1 ]
Your scarf still hangs on the chair’s old frame,
Its faded threads whisper your name.
Each creak of floorboards stirs my grief,
Without you, joy’s a fleeting thief.  

[Chorus]
Echoes of you, they haunt my weary heart,
Ghosts of our laughter tear my nights apart.
Through this song, your memory clings to me,
Lost in the ache of what can never be.  

[Verse 2]
No coin to spare, yet your absence burns,
My soul’s adrift where the heart still yearns.
Moonlight mocks with shadows of your face,
Each empty dawn holds your lost embrace.  

[Instrumental Break]
  
[Chorus]
Echoes of you, they haunt my weary heart,
Ghosts of our laughter tear my nights apart.
Through this song, your memory clings to me,
Lost in the ache of what can never be.  

[Bridge]
Worn records sigh of days we held so dear,
Each crackled note drowns in silent tears.
Clasp your shadow, though it slips away,
My heart’s still yours, come what may.  

[Outro]
Echoes of you, they linger through the dark,
Your absence carves an everlasting mark.  

Echoes of You

Missing You

[Verse 1]
I trace your name in the air at night
Whispered words that don't feel right
The clock ticks loud in an empty room
Time moves slow but it’s gone too soon

[Chorus]
I'm missing you like the sky needs blue
Like the stars miss the moon when it's out of view
Every heartbeat calls your name
I'm missing you
It’s not the same

[Verse 2]
Your laughter echoes in my head
A melody I can't forget
The silence now is a heavy weight
A hollow sound I didn’t create

[Chorus]
I'm missing you like the sky needs blue
Like the stars miss the moon when it's out of view
Every heartbeat calls your name
I'm missing you
It’s not the same

[Bridge]
I count the days but lose my place
Your shadow lingers
I see your face
The world spins on
But I stand still
Without you here
I’ve lost my will

[Chorus]
I'm missing you like the sky needs blue
Like the stars miss the moon when it's out of view
Every heartbeat calls your name
I'm missing you
It’s not the same

Silent Kingdom

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go

It’s inexplicable 
You just see the awful 
Truth 
The tragedy of youth 
How did he feel? 
Was it for real? 
No proof. 
Highs and lows
Voltage flows
You can’t feel what’s in his head 
Extension of memory suspended (pretended) 

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go

It’s unobtainable 
You can’t see the awful 
Truth 
The tragedy of youth 
Digital dystopia 
Trauma dysmorphia
No clues. 
Highs and lows
Neuro transmitters come to blows
A life collapsed
Because you’ll never read that synapse 

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go
(do you truly want to though?)

Who are you protecting?
When you know you’re not detecting
And everyone’s electing
Ambivalent consent
They don’t know what it meant
(Too late the life is spent)

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go
(do you truly want to though?)

It’s not Immutable 
Playback of the changing 
Truth
The tragedy of youth 
Why the only question 
Asked without cessation 
No proof 
Lows and highs 
Can be disguised 
Where there signs that you missed? 
Case closed. Another number for the list


Life is a Crime Scene

Burnin’ down 

(Verse 1) Hands down low, you pull me in tight, Drownin' in the smoke of a blood-red night, Your touch, a spark that sets me free, Crashin' like waves, takin’ over me.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Verse 2) Rose gold whiskey on my tongue, You’re hummin’ dirty songs I ain't ever sung, Grippin’ my hips like you own my soul, Got me slippin’ under full control.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Bridge) No mercy, no slowin' it down, Just a body rush, just the hunger sound, Take it higher till we’re beggin’ for air, Get drunk on touch, get lost out there.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Outro) Ashes on the sheets, smoke on your breath, Whisper my name ‘til there’s nothin’ left, Shakin’ like thunder, skin to skin, Heatwave heartbeat — do it all again.

Burnin’ down

a song about someone realizing too late that they didn’t appreciate what they had. They’re filled with regret over missed chances and mistakes, especially in a relationship that meant more than they realized at the time. Now, they’re determined to do better, to protect and care for someone if given the chance.

Running Out of Room

Shine anyway

I grew up in a small town
Every day the same old crowd
Dreamt of being someone different
So I had to get out

I can't find a place to call home
In this world I wander alone
And it don't matter how far I go
No I can't find a place to call home

Well I moved to the city
And got a couple jobs
All I made was enemies
Who'd take all I got

I can't find a place to call home
In this world I wander alone
And it don't matter how far I go
No I can't find a place to call home

Well I moved to the ocean
And I tried to make friends
But I never saw them again
After that weekend

I can't find a place to call home
In this world I wander alone
And it don't matter how far I go
No I can't find a place to call home

Track from the second ToneBoneMachine album "Ticket To Venus"

Ticket To Venus

No Place To Call Home

Can’t Feel Me

“Curtain Call” is a jazz-noir torch song drenched in glamour and fatal irony. With velvet vocals and lounge-inspired flair, it tells the tale of a singer bidding farewell—one alphabet, one act at a time. Backup singers whisper warnings, but fate waits in the wings. A darkly comedic eulogy to performance, pride, and the moment the spotlight fades. Step right, sugar… but watch your footing.

Curtain Call

Every step I took, I held my breath,
Never stepped on hearts to chase success.
If I shine now, it's not for show —
It’s the light I gave, not the things I owe.

Give give give give give more than take
No need to fake — just give more than take
Give give give give give more than take
That’s who I am, no mask to break.
Give give give give give more than take
Hearts don’t climb by stepping snakes —
Just give... more than take.

You see the title, not the tired nights,
Not the inner wars, not the silent fights.
You think I played the game, cut sharp and cold —
But I held hands, I broke no soul.
Yeah, maybe I’m high, but I’m still small,
Still that jeans shop girl in a mirrored mall.
Still feel the price tags, the shift bell’s chime,
Still giving like I did back in simpler time.

So let them think what they need to see,
But they don’t know what it cost to be me.
I'm not the story they love to paint —
I'm made of mercy, not of saints.

Give give give give give more than take
No need to fake — just give more than take
Give give give give give more than take
Don’t need a throne, don’t need a stake
Give give give give give more than take
Soul can rise without a break —
Just give... more than take.

"For what I wrote… maybe it hurts me
if that’s what people think of me.
But I’m not like that.
I give… rather than take.
I don’t see myself as a careerist…
Just a simple jeans sales girl."

Give give give give give more than take
The real ones feel it — no need to fake
Give give give give give more than take
Simple girl, with soul at stake
Give give give give give more than take
Yeah, just give... more than take

Give More Than Take

Just a wayward paralegal residing in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, literally in the shadow of Pike’s Peak.
