To Dry a Tear

Acres

Another love song for the beautiful romantic people out there. This one is about how you'd give everything for the love that you've been lucky enough to find.

By Love's Decree

Streetlights bleeding through the rain-streaked glass
Another Tuesday fades into the past
You paint your promises in shades of grey
Beautiful mirage that fades... away

Dancing on a floor of fractured trust
Our faded masterpiece turning into dust

This is our velvet goodbye - silent, sweet decay
No screaming words, just watching colors drain away
Final sip of wine, neon-haunted room
Chasing ghosts of forgotten blooms
Velvet goodbye - softest, sharpest pain
Beautiful ending in the pouring rain

I trace the silence hanging in the air
The ghost of laughter that we used to share
Midnight drives and stolen time - perfect crime
Now the echo's all that's left to hold
Story that's already growing cold

This is our velvet goodbye - (mmm) silent, sweet decay
No screaming words, just watching colors drain (fade) away
Final sip of wine, neon-haunted room (haunted room)
Chasing ghosts of forgotten blooms
Velvet goodbye - softest, sharpest pain (oh, the pain)
Beautiful ending in the pouring rain (rain, rain)

In the rain...
In the rain...
Velvet... velvet...

Mmm... goodbye...
Fading, fading away
Velvet...

Focus on U (R&B Mix)

Heartbreak Alert: my mother passed away in 2020 and me giving up on music because of my "bad face" disappointed her more than anyone. When she passed, I couldn't cry, she wouldn't let me. She filled my head with melodies. And that's when I began writing all these songs I'm bombarding you with. No one will ever love me like that woman, I'd never belonged to anyone before.... For me the process always starts with a melody and a simple phrase, in this case... "Where do I belong if it ain't beside you...?" This is raw, unfinished, and hurts to share, but I thought I'd take a break to honor the source material ahead of her birthday. =)
