LYRICS:
Chelsea Summer Nights (Acoustic)        

I’ll meet you down in New York City
By the ghosts of the Chelsea Hotel
We’ll take a room filled with secrets
The kinds of secrets the river won’t tell

Lay with me, Rock and Roll Beauty
Sing to me of Bobby McGee
Touch me like there is redemption
The more pleasure, the more we are free

There are no promises at night
But there’s eternity within your light

Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die

Meet me down in the West Village
We’ll pretend we’re tourists again
Pretend we’re in love, my darling
Glimpse the way we were back then

I hailed you like a yellow taxi
Take me home to the Chelsea Hotel

I paid dearly for that fare
I paid with my soul, my heart laid bare

Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die

Solo

You said we are the fortunate few
Who have the gift of words set to
Songs of hallelujah-lu
We’re baby birds cracking through
The shells of our ego
Your heart is my halo
You sing like an angel
Angel
Angel

Chelsea Summer Nights (Acoustic)

A legendary farewell forged in grit and ghostlight. Voices from the Tavern Floor is the final act of The Blackwood Chronicles, a sonic ritual told in Southern gothic fire and folklore. From the haunted whispers of Yellow Springs to the defiant chant of the broken, this EP carries the weight of stories too wild to forget. Raise your glass. Raise it loud.

Voices from the Tavern Floor

What We Lost, We Carry Still

I Don’t Pray, I Rev

Raise It Loud

Die a Little is about those moments when you quiet down the learned morality and let a deeper voice speak, the instinct, the unconscious.
Sometimes it’s not the most righteous decision,
but it’s the one that saves you.
Sometimes, you have to die a little to fully live.

Die A Little

Raising Awareness About Wildfires and Their Impact

Wildfires and human-caused fires are increasingly destructive forces that wreak havoc on our planet. Every year, millions of acres of forests are consumed by flames, leaving behind scorched earth and skies choked with smoke. These fires don’t just destroy trees—they burn the homes of countless animals, many of which never make it out.

The fairy in this depiction represents the unseen losses: the delicate ecosystems, the quiet lives of wildlife, and the natural beauty that vanishes in the smoke. She symbolizes the spirit of the forest—fragile, often ignored, and deeply wounded by every fire.

Let this serve as a reminder: what we lose to fire is not always visible, but it is always profound.

Bed Number Six

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a story, of a love left untold,
Of a boy with blue eyes and a heart made of gold.
He was the light, I was the rain,
He was the dream I never could claim.

We were seventeen, reckless and free,
He was the one who always saw me.
But I stood in his shadow, too scared to be seen,
Afraid he could never love someone like me.

[Chorus]
If only he had known, if only I had tried,
Maybe all those years wouldn’t have passed us by.
I let the silence grow, I watched the seasons change,
And now I live with the weight of what never came.

[Verse 2]
I watched the girls whisper, his name on their lips,
While I held my love in trembling fists.
I painted my heart in colors so bold,
But never found the courage to let them unfold.

He treated me kindly, as if I was bright,
As if I belonged there, bathed in his light.
But I turned away when his eyes searched too deep,
Avoiding  the love I was too scared to seek.

[Chorus]
If only he had known, if only I had tried,
Maybe all those years wouldn’t have passed us by.
I let the silence grow, I watched the seasons change,
And now I live with the weight of what never came.

[Verse 3]
Fourteen years later, I stood in his gaze,
Older, but haunted by all our lost days.
He stood there smiling, yet something felt wrong,
A love left unfinished, but the story is done.

[Bridge]
"Did you ever wonder?" I asked him that night,
"Did you ever feel it, that spark, that light?"
And he looked at me, with eyes so sad,
"I thought you never wanted the love we could've had."

[Final Chorus]
If only we had known, if only we had tried,
Maybe we’d have had forever, not just borrowed time.
But love is a ghost, haunting all we let go,
And now we both whisper—"if only we’d known."*

[Outro]
"Do you love him?" they ask, and I just smile,
"I always will... just in silence, just in exile."
So I tell them my story, of a love left untold,
Of a boy with blue eyes… and a heart made of gold.

If Only He Had known

 Raw, hypnotic & unapologetic rock.

For the misfits, the lovers, and those who feel too much.
