The Grifter(2)

Lyrics:

Your love is a mystery
Takes me to a higher place
Your love is a mystery
But you’re messing with my head
And I can’t get it straight

What am I to do 
If you go?
Was your love
Nothing but mirrors
And smoke
Maybe your heart was make believe
But your fire felt real to me

I just wanna know, wanna know
When I open my eyes, will you disappear?
I just wanna know, wanna know
Will your love be here
When the smoke clears?

I can’t take it anymore
My heart is trampled on the floor
Your love
Is killing me
Killing me slowly
Play your games, you love
To watch fold yeah

What am I to do 
If you go?
Was your love
Nothing but mirrors
And smoke
Maybe your heart was make believe
But your fire felt real to me

And I see this so clear
Your love is only smoke and mirrors

I just wanna know, wanna know
When I open my eyes, will you disappear?
I just wanna know, wanna know
Will your love be here
When the smoke clears?

Smoke and Mirrors

Friday night no I wasn’t coming here 
since I saw you last time I’ve been seeing clear
all my friends say that you’re a dead end 
but I just hit door bell and it’s ringing

these rose pedals blind me I guess
no I can’t see the mess 
no I can’t see all of the mess that you make

so tell me do you like my roses 
I’ll pick a hundred more if you want them
tell me do you like white horses 
cause I can paint them white
and tell me do you like pink diamonds 
cause I could get them all, one more question  
tell me why you like running off in the middle of the night

oh tell me do you like my roses 
tell me do you like my roses 
tell me cause I’m at your door always wanting more love before it closes 
so tell me do you like my roses

tell me do you like my 
face when I’m fogging up the glass 
every time you’re bored you can get me crawling back 
second your alone you know you can hit my phone up
call me second best but I’ll still show up

so tell me do you like my roses 
I’ll pick a hundred more if you want them
tell me do you like white horses 
cause I can paint them white
and tell me do you like pink diamonds 
cause I could get them all, one more question  
tell me why you like running off in the middle of the night

oh tell me do you like my roses 
tell me do you like my roses 
tell me cause I’m at your door always wanting more love before it closes 
so tell me do you like my roses

Mission

A Nashville-based indie-pop artist and songwriter, HAYL, expresses the realness of life with her music. Through her personal journey in choosing herself, HAYL’s music is a reflection of tender lyrics mixed with an energetic pop tempo. 

HAYL's biggest inspiration is her younger sister, who is non-verbal and on the autism spectrum. At a young age, she started writing songs and playing the guitar as an outlet when trying not to disrupt the peace in her household. HAYL never had a problem with expressing her feelings, but always kept them to herself , until now. 

HAYL has worked tirelessly to create a unique sound that showcases ethereal vocal pads and moody instrumentals, turning one-time listeners into lasting fans and catching the attention of industry professionals. She released her first single "Wire" that landed on 6 editorial playlists and has more than 650,000 streams over all DSPs. With 5,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify, HAYL is steadily building a loyal fanbase and plans to tour alongside other musicians this Fall. 

Her debut EP, ‘Out Of Love’ released in November 2021, a full discography of her journey in choosing herself.
