Stay Away

The Suffering (Feat. Choose to Fight)

“This song is written from the perspective of someone fading — from chronically ill to unresponsive — a final letter in the words they can’t speak. It’s not a goodbye note by choice, and it’s not a suicide note, though it may sound like one. If you’ve ever felt like your voice was lost, I hope this reminds you that your story still matters. You are not alone. If you’re struggling with thoughts of suicide, please reach out — dial 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Your life is worth holding on to 👻”

One Last Letter

“This song is to all the kids out there. It’s the exact conversation I shared with my son at the end of the pier one night — nearly word for word. Dedicated to him, and to every young soul out there searching for direction. Be the fire no storm can drown out. Be the one light the lost will seek. You already have the vision. Now walk in it 👻”

Son (One Light)

“They say she still walks the water’s edge in her wedding dress, waiting for a groom who never came. Some nights the fog carries her song, soft and low, over the bayou. If you follow the voice, you may not come back 👻”

Concept by Jimmy Philyaw — a long-time friend, bandmate, and our rock on bass. A true local of Boggy Boy, he brought this story to life. Jimmy, cool story bro… tell it again!”

The Bride of Boggy Bayou

“This one is for anyone sitting in silence, carrying more than they should — or more than they can bear. You don’t have to fight it by yourself — talk to someone. I’ve survived losing friends and strangers who let the dark thoughts win. I’ve seen the fallout firsthand, and it’s an image I wish I didn’t have burned into my mind. I’ve also stood beside those left behind, and the suffering of family and friends is unbearable. Most problems can be fixed, even when the road to recovery feels impossible. It is not impassable. Your story deserves to be heard. Your pain deserves a place to breathe. If you’re struggling with thoughts of suicide, please dial 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The world is better with you here.”

“Not every ending needs a villain. Some loves just run out of hours, out of words, out of fight. This one is about letting go without hate — knowing it hurts, but knowing it’s time. Out of time doesn’t mean out of worth. It just means the story is finished 👻”
