Amidst Lonely Days

You Never Know is a funked up punk-a-tude bluesy swinging new indie rock song about the fact that You Never Know. Pulling from funk, blues, Americana, and rock, with a punk attitude and lyrics about state of the modern world peppered with a healthy dose of skepticism and justifiable cynicism about the absolute certainty so many people claim to possess. This song will make you want to dance while you call out the BS. 

You never know! 
You think you know
But you don’t know
I learned along time ago 
That ya never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know!
You say its true
Because you say so
But I ain’t buying what your selling yo!
  
Take a look back through history
Only one thing’s a certainty
The future will remain a mystery
Something we’ll never know

Some people turn to the good book
Some people give their crystal ball a look
No matter what you try and do though
Fact is, you never know!

If you went and had a look
Read every word in every book! 
The record clearly shows
That ya never know!

You never know!
You think you know
But you don’t know
I learned a long time ago 
That ya never know 

Some people turn to the good book
Some people give their crystal ball a look
No matter what they try and do though
Fact is, you never know!

If you went and had a look
Read every word in every book! 
The record clearly shows
That ya never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know
You say its true
Because you say so
But I ain’t buying what your selling yo
Cuz ya never know

Take a look back at history
Only one thing’s a certainty
The future will remain a mystery
Something we’ll never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know
I ain’t buying what your selling yo
I learned along time ago 
That you never know.

Lyrics:

They say you die twice
Once when they put you in the ground
The second is the last time anybody talks about you
So I guess I could be alive
'Cause I hear about that handsome fool all the time
And I curse the day she found him

I feel like a ghost
I walk around with the form of a man
But he's not me
Babe
I don't know who I am
'Cause she doesn't come around here
I don't feel her presеnce anymore
Yeah
I lost her to a previous version of me
Baby
What for?

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

But she swears to God
She swears up and down that it's him
I ask her
"Was it all just pretend?
Or were you always his?"

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

'Til he came back home
Covered in Billy
Gave her that smile
Said that he's changed
Gonna stay for a while
Now she counts in "we"
And I count in weeks

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

Dusk

[Verse 1]
Wires hum in the dead of night,
Neon glow, just a satellite,
Fingers dancing, breaking locks,
Cracking codes on ticking clocks.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every firewall’s just a gate,
Every cipher spells their fate,
Shadow steps, I leave no trace,
I’m a phantom in this place.

[Chorus]
I’m a digital ghost, creeping in the stream,
Sifting through the codes, tearing at the seams.
Buried in the data, hidden in the dark,
I will find your secrets, rip them all apart.

[Verse 2]
Encrypted whispers, silent calls,
Buried files behind firewalls,
One wrong move, the alarms will scream,
But I’m already in your machine.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every password’s just a key,
Every secret’s calling me,
Shadow steps, I leave no trace,
I’m rewriting all your fate.

[Chorus]
I’m a digital ghost, creeping in the stream,
Sifting through the codes, tearing at the seams.
Buried in the data, hidden in the dark,
I will find your secrets, rip them all apart.

[Bridge]
Binary whispers, numbers collide,
Red lights flashing, no place to hide.
You built the walls, but I hold the key,
Now your empire belongs to me.

[Outro]
Delete your name, erase your past,
Ghost in the system, fading fast.
One last breach, and I’m long gone,
Your secrets burn before the dawn.

Mountain of Stars

"That's What Friends Are For" is a raw, stripped-down folk-punk anthem that captures the resilience, camaraderie, and bittersweet reflections of everyday life. Built around a driving, percussive acoustic guitar, the song thrives on its rhythmic urgency, with each strum acting as both a pulse and a protest. The lone vocal delivery is direct and heartfelt, carrying a mix of defiance and melancholy, reminiscent of classic Billy Bragg-style storytelling.

Lyrically, the song shifts between moments of nostalgia, frustration, and hope—painting vivid images of fleeting joys with old friends, quiet moments of introspection, and the unshakable feeling of being caught in a system that promises more than it delivers. The recurring chorus, delivered with an almost mantra-like intensity, reinforces the idea that friendship and solidarity are the true anchors in turbulent times.

With no excess instrumentation to hide behind, That's What Friends Are For embraces its simplicity, letting the raw emotion shine through. The stark contrast between the warmth of shared moments and the weight of personal struggle makes it an intimate yet anthemic piece—one that lingers long after the final chord fades.

That's What Friends Are For
You and I, a sunlit sky, and them
We close our eyes and sometimes we pretend

Walk on water, swim against the tide
Gazing at my shoes, I wonder why
But it doesn't stop you trying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

Shadows fall on leaves as they descend
Stand beneath the trees with my old friends
Laugh at jokes I've heard ten times before
It doesn't matter, that's what we're here for

I can't help feeling that they've trained us well
Promising us heaven
While we're living here in hell
How it works out well, it all depends
On you and I, a sunlit sky, and them

But it doesn't stop you crying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

That's What Friends Are For [ Post punk | Singer Songwriter]

Lyrics
 
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, echoes whisper tales of old,
Forgotten battles fought, the stories left untold.
A land betrayed by time, ashes in the dust,
We search for signs of hope, but find only rust.
When the stars align, in this dusk of fate,
We'll rise from the shadows, no longer hesitate.
With dreams ignited, we’ll reclaim what’s lost,
Together we stand tall, no matter the cost.
So let the music rise, through the silent pain,
We reclaim our voices, from the ashes, we'll reign.


So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, where the ashes lay,
We tread lightly on the dreams that went gray.
With each step forward, we carry the weight,
Of battles forgotten, in a world we create.

So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
A song of resilience, our hearts intertwined,
In a land that was lost, we’ve now redefined.

In the silence, echoes sing of what we knew,
Through the darkness, we forge paths anew.
A symphony of hope, from the ashes we’ll find,
A new dawn awaits, with a vision unconfined.

So let the shadows fade, and the light break through,
We’ll traverse the landscape, with courage to pursue.
In this world reborn, our voices loud and clear,
Together we’ll reclaim, what was once held dear.

So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, where the ashes lay,
We tread lightly on the dreams that went gray.
With each step forward, we carry the weight,
Of battles forgotten, in a world we create.

Let the Fire Burn

[Verse 1]
Packed my bags, left the shore,
Ventura sun, I’d see no more.
Dad had plans, we crossed the sea,
But in Geneva, it wasn’t meant to be.

At first, it felt like something new,
American school, a different view.
But then he left for Africa's call,
And I felt lost, I felt small.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Verse 2]
Athens nights and Cyprus skies,
Each new stop, a piece of life.
But my heart was set ahead,
To the Holy Land where my soul was led.

Half the day with hands in dirt,
Half the day where books would work.
Simple life, the air so clean,
It felt like waking from a dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Bridge]
Didn’t need a map, just a heart on fire,
Wanderer’s soul, climbing higher.
Maybe home’s not a place on a map,
But a feeling you chase and never look back.

[Outro]
Ventura’s waves still call my name,
But I’m not the same, I’ve changed my lane.
From Geneva’s halls to an open sky,
This is my life—I won't say goodbye.

[Final Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

Runaway Train

‘ Hello Mr. Hyde ’ is an introspective look at the demons that hide within; it is also an acknowledgement of them. The album moves through stages beginning with the greeting and recognition, followed by the depression that comes from the acceptance of “ Mr. Hyde ,” but finishing with a peaceful release found through surrendering to God. I believe everyone has their own version of “ Mr. Hyde ” within them and that acknowledging and facing this inner demon is essential to coming to peace with oneself.
