The Sky Is Crying

FIRE DOWN BELOW

Lux Coven’s “Tough Guys” is a blues-rooted verbal reckoning aimed at frauds who perform pain without earning it. The lyrics hit like warnings carved into stone — blunt, personal, and confrontational. Each verse calls out false strength with surgical precision, exposing those who talk loud but vanish when things get real. The repeated hook, “keep that same damn tone,” is less a chorus and more a threat. This isn’t about ego — it’s about memory, scars, and survival. If the words hit, they were meant for you.

TOUGH GUYS

Kind of all over the place with music.   Bluegrass and blues to stoner doom and anything else that holds my attention.
