Told You So

Hollywood Forever

Hollywood Forever (Funny Man Remix)

The LA  rock singer soars to new heights on ‘The Way,’ her fourth album with her eponymous band. Lead track “I Come Alive” puts her gale-force vocals front and center. The title track, a ballad, is a love letter to fans, she says. And her rock ‘n’ roll bona fides are confirmed by the guest spot from the great guitarist Slash on “Tombstone Town,” a track that has a bit of outlaw to it. Let this vocal powerhouse take you inside her creative process, only on SoundCloud.

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos

------------------------

Summer is hard and full of temptation
A season where the haves have it better than ever
A season where the lonely break into pieces
I can't deal with it, seeing her just tears me apart
She's laughing in the sun with someone new
While I'm watching from the shadows, nothing I can do

Out of my depth and out of my reach
Gave up on the swiping, but I don't care
But I'd rather die alone than be another number in a vicious cycle
I choose my suffering over being a number

It's a mess
Ten years on the screen and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

Years of swiping, years of hope
Years of messages that helped me cope
Until the silence came, until they disappeared
Into someone else's bed, someone else's dreams
The pattern never breaks, it just repeats
Another face, another ghost, another heart that beats
For anyone but me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

The ones at the top of the pyramid will always get it good
At the expense of what?
All those begging for a chance
They get the matches, we get the silence
They get the dates, we get the violence
It's a sick world
Built on our loneliness

God save me from myself
Save me from the temptation
Save me from the pain
I'm praying for a way out
If there's a way
God save me from myself
Save me from the summer
Save me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death
When nothing's ever enough

Bring on the summer time
Bring on the summer time
Bring on the heat that burns
Bring on the truth that hurts
Bring on the summer time
I'll face it alone
Bring on the summer time
I choose my suffering

Illusion of Death

I grew up with country all around me, grunge blasting in my ears, and my dad’s vinyl spinning Hendrix, Zeppelin, and The Doors. I write songs about two things: the world’s contradictions and my own. From politics to ADD, it all filters into words and stories that turn struggle into something real.
