YOUR EYES

This earthy ballad was written in the hills of Topanga Canyon, CA. The canyon is painted as a love affair between the rivers that flow through it and the earth below. With hints of 70's folk harmonies of CSNY and glimmers of Ray LaMontagne, this moody singer-songwriter gem feels intimate and timeless.

Never Ends

I wake beneath an omen in the light
Golden hours feel like borrowed time
I keep waiting for the blade to fall
Anything to end this crawl

These rooms are heavy with history
But the shine won't stop the slow decay
I watch myself still slip away

It's a long way down from heaven's edge
I've been falling through my head
I replay the wreckage every day
Till the chaos feels like home

What happens when the river runs dry?
When the current leaves me behind
I don't know how deep this goes
But every breath keeps pulling low

I scream in perfect harmony
While I'm breaking where no one sees
If I don't make it through this night
Will anyone remember at all?

They say kill the game, don't hesitate
Like the crown won't rust, like time will wait
Every sound from the crowd feels thin
Like empty praise from the dark within

I've touched the peak, I've kissed the flame
Now every victory tastes the same
All the color's bleeding into grey
And nothing moves me anymore

It's a longer fall from higher ground
I'm so tired of this cycle now
I've lived this scene a thousand times
And I don't think I'll survive

The river's running dry tonight
And the current's left me behind
I know exactly how deep this goes
Every breath pulls me below

I bleed in perfect harmony
Shattering where no one sees
I won't make it through this fight
I'm fading right before their eyes

No one told me I'd learn to hate my reflection
While the world calls this heaven, I call it chains
I smile while my chest caves in
Silent screaming from within

If this is all I'll ever be—
A voice on fire with no release
Then save me from my own mind
Or let me finally meet the floor

The river… runs… dry…
The current… leaves… me…
The river runs dry
And I'm drowning in the dust

The river has run dry
There’s nothing reflected inside
I finally know how deep this goes
I let every breath pull me low

I bled in perfect harmony
Broke apart where no one sees
I didn’t make it through the night
I vanished when the curtain fell

What’s left when the river runs dry?
When the spotlight fades away
The strength that you once had
Fades with the sound of applause

You fall and no one knows
You fade into the undertow
Were you ever more than the rise?
Just the silence after the light

When the River Runs Dry

The Great Repression tells a story that is rooted in far-fetched science fiction and reality simultaneously. Astral projection, time travel, alternate realities, and outer space all exist inside a narrative that is simultaneously misanthropic and compassionate, pessimistic and hopeful. It's a deep concept album that is meant for fans of science fiction, metal, industrial, and electronic music. It's also a casual listen for those that like heavy music that grooves.

Trapped In The Center Of An Unstable Loop

Deflecting Ghosts is a rock and alternative metal band based in Hutchinson, Kansas. What began as Luke Fitzgerald’s personal creative refuge during the final chapter of his previous band has since grown into a powerful trio. In early 2025, longtime collaborator Rhema and drummer Austin joined the project, deepening its emotional core and expanding its sonic reach. Their music channels the spirit of a time when rock was raw, honest, and unafraid to feel, fusing grit with melody in a way that hits hard and lingers.

With decades of musical experience, from classical guitar roots to self-taught piano, bass, drums, and vocals, Luke draws from a lifetime of personal battles and triumphs. Rhema brings her own voice to the band’s rhythm section, crafting bass lines that reflect a shared history of resilience and redemption. Austin, a precise and intuitive drummer, provides the dynamic backbone of their evolving sound.

Deflecting Ghosts’ latest single, « Broken », marks their first full-band release. A deeply personal track years in the making. It stands alongside earlier works like « Lost My Mind » and « Passion of the Scorned », which laid the foundation for the band’s emotionally charged, authentic style.


Set to make their live debut at the Sunflower Festival, Deflecting Ghosts carries a message for anyone who has ever struggled: it's okay to feel pain, and it's even more important to find a way to express it. For them, music isn't about chasing fame. It’s about survival, truth, and connection. In a world that often feels hollow, Deflecting Ghosts remains fiercely committed to making music that means something.





Biography:From the beginning 

Hello, my name is Luke Fitzgerald and I have had my fair share of challenges throughout my life. Born in Texas and later moving to Kansas, my journey has been marked by tragedy and triumph.

At just 15 years old, I experienced a devastating loss when my brother and three friends passed away in a tragic car crash. This event led me down a dark path of addiction for almost a decade, with multiple near-death experiences serving as wake-up calls. In 2008, I made the decision to seek help and entered rehab, starting a new chapter in my life.

Despite the hardships, music has always been my solace and passion. I found comfort in writing, recording, and performing, immersing myself in the art form. With a versatile range of musical styles, I embarked on a solo project, showcasing my skills on the piano. Through self-teaching, I mastered the instrument and created mesmerizing instrumental compositions that connect with listeners.

In addition to my solo work, I formed the band EveriKnee, which became my main focus. Known for our dynamic sound and captivating performances, we released a music video that showcased our unique blend of acoustic melodies and powerful vocals. Although I felt the need to remove the song due to personal reasons, the video remains available for fans to enjoy.

With a deep commitment to my craft, I am gearing up to release my highly anticipated upcoming project, "Kicking." This release promises to be a powerful showcase of my growth as an artist and my ability to create impactful and memorable music.

In addition to my solo endeavors and involvement in EveriKnee, I recently released my solo project, "Deflecting Ghosts." This collection of captivating and introspective songs demonstrates my multi-instrumental talent, as I played and recorded every instrument.

Throughout the highs and lows of life, music has remained my constant source of inspiration and strength. It is a tool that drives me forward, providing solace and purpose. With unwavering dedication and remarkable talent, I strive to leave a profound impact on listeners, connecting through the universal language of music and sharing my incredible journey of resilience and triumph.
