Lonely Day Lullaby

*verse 1*
She in Mississippi, 
he's on her mind
Blonde hair shinin, 
Ohio vibe, 
she so hot, 
Should be a crime 

Angel by day,  
he calls her night nurse
only one for him, 
She the antidote,
She quench his thirst, 

Crushin on him, 
The words he sings, 
He's so far away, 
She's Dreamin' 'bout him
night and day, 
Wishin' he was here, 
What can she do?
Night nurse feeling the Mississippi blues
Through and through, 

*chorus*
Oh, she's callin' out for love, across state lines,
Fire side in Mississippi, sipping dandelion wine, 

Mississippi nights, she's feelin' alone
Wishin' he'd bring that music back home 

*Verse 2*
She a Steelers girl,  
rep that Ohio pride,
Midwest values, 
with a rebel's stride, 

In scrubs or in sin,
she's a beautiful site, 
She said take me and my girl fishing tonight 
bait my hook, he said day or night,
Anytime,

He's got a show out in LA 
She's in mississippi so far away,
streaming his show live, 
have her wishing
He was there 
Hot heavy kissing 
Workin her body, 
Making her feel right, 

*Chorus*
Oh, she's callin' out for love, across state lines
Fire side in Mississippi, sipping dandelion wine
Mississippi nights, she's feelin' alone
Wishin' he'd  bring that music back home

She's sippin' on that drink, wishing he had her legs held up high, 
Feel him work his thing, breaking her down just right, 
deep between her thighs, 

Thinkin'  bout that smile, got her wondering'
why they ain't together side by side , 
skin to skin, till they get that sweat dripping, 
Why's love gotta be so hard to win?

Her Phone buzzes, 
He cut a track
Just for her tonight, 
Talkin' sweet nothings, 
makin' her heart and that beat align
Promisin' forever, through the distance and pain
She's holdin' on tight, like a 24 k gold rope chain

His Midwest queen of the South, with a heart of gold
He works that back, she working that mouth, 
She his His Midwest queen of the South

Mississippi Nights

Ghost Town Lullaby 

Verse 1
In the shadows of a forgotten place
Where the sun dips low and the streets erase
I hear your whisper, a haunting refrain
Echoes of our love, in this ghost town rain

 Chorus
Oh, the wind it howls, like a lonely sigh
In this ghost town lullaby, I'll wonder why
You left my side, and I stayed behind
Forever lost, in this forgotten mind

 Verse 2
We danced beneath the neon lights
Our love shined bright, on those dusty nights
But like the stars, you faded fast
Leavin' me here, with nothin' to grasp

 Chorus
Oh, the wind it howls, like a lonely sigh
In this ghost town lullaby, I'll wonder why
You left my side, and I stayed behind
Forever lost, in this forgotten mind

 Bridge
Time stands still, in this abandoned town
Where memories linger, and love's renowned
I'll hold on tight, to the love we made
In this ghost town lullaby, my heart will stay

 Chorus
Oh, the wind it howls, like a lonely sigh
In this ghost town lullaby, I'll wonder why
You left my side, and I stayed behind
Forever lost

A Ghost Town Lullaby

Echoes In The Fray



In the city's endless night
A soul awakens, a heart takes flight
The music whispers secrets, of a life untold
A journey through the shadows, where love and hope unfold


Echoes in the fray, whispers in the pain
A search for truth and love, amidst the heart's remains
In the silence, I find my voice
A scream in the void, a choice to rejoice


Memories of yesterday, haunt the streets of today
A nostalgia for what's lost, a longing for what's to stay
The world outside is burning, but in my heart, a fire's burning
A flame that flickers still, a beacon in the darkening


Echoes in the fray, whispers in the pain
A search for truth and love, amidst the heart's remains
In the silence, I find my voice
A scream in the void, a choice to rejoice


In the shadows, I find my strength
A resolve to rise above, to find my way at length
Through the noise and the chaos, I'll find my heart's refrain
A melody that echoes, a love that remains


Echoes in the fray, whispers in the pain
A search for truth and lo

[Verse 1]
So this is Christmas
(Is it I couldn't tell)
And what have you done
(Fought and lived under a gun)
Another year over
(For the the Dead and dying)
And a new one just begun
(Fighting and living life under the gun)
And so this is Christmas

The old and the young
(Fighting and dying)

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (is it I couldn't tell)
For weak and for strong ( Dying and Living in Hell)
For rich and the poor ones (Killers and Victims)
The road is so long (for some)

A Death Of Mourning

Miami In The 80s

Innocence,
 Maybe youth,
  Doesn't live, 
   A hundred moons,



 Unlike us love doesn't work,
  Alone we stay to avoid hurt,
   Sometimes I think it makes it worse,
    Alone we stay to avoid hurt,

 
 Unlike us love doesn't work,
  Unlike us love doesn't work,
   Since the first time he ever smiled,
    All I tied fell unattached,
     All the love I left to go wild,
      Like I died and left it back,
       Unlike us the moon saw it all,
        All the love that I ever knew, 
         All for one person to call,
          Under the light of the crazy flow,
           Unlike us love doesn't work,
            Alone we stay to avoid hurt, 
             Sometimes I think it makes it worse,
              Alone we stay to avoid hurt, 
               Unlike us love doesn't work, 
                Alone we stay to avoid hurt,
                 Sometimes I think it makes it worse,
                  Alone we stay to avoid hurt



Alone

Stay a Long Time

(Verse 1)
Up in the hills where the laurel blooms,
Where the shadows dance in the afternoon,
There's a cabin small, built with care,
And a mountain man with a heart to share.

(Chorus)
Oh, the high lonesome wind, it does blow,
Through the pines and the valleys below,
It whispers of love, it whispers of pain,
In the Appalachian mountain rain.

(Verse 2)
He plays his banjo by the firelight,
Songs of sorrow, songs of fight,
His voice as clear as the mountain stream,
Echoes of dreams, lost and seen.

(Chorus)
Oh, the high lonesome wind, it does blow,
Through the pines and the valleys below,
It carries the tunes, it carries the strain,
In the Appalachian mountain rain.

(Bridge)
There’s a story told in every line,
Of love that's gone and love that's mine,
The mountain air, so crisp and thin,
Where the heart of man can still begin.

(Verse 3)
He walks the trails, his mind at peace,
Where the wildflowers grow, and the cares decrease,
With every step, a memory's made,
In the silent woods where shadows wade.

(Chorus)
Oh, the high lonesome wind, it does blow,
Through the pines and the valleys below,
It tells of the past, it tells of the gain,
In the Appalachian mountain rain.

(Outro)
Now the night falls, the stars appear,
And the mountain man, he feels so near,
To the heart of life, to the soul's refrain,
Under the Appalachian mountain rain.

Appalachian Mountain Rain

I Broke Myself Today 

I broke myself today
Just to feel something real
Focused on the ache
It’s the only thing I feel
Piercing through the skin
That same old, burning sting
Tried to let it go
But I recall everything

Look at who I am
Dear, you're my only friend
Everyone I’ve touched
Leaves me in the end

You could take it all
My kingdom made of dust
I will let you down
I'll betray your trust

I wear this heavy crown
Sit on a throne of lies
Thoughts too torn to fix
Hope too dead to try
Time has stained it all
Worn love into disguise
You’ve become someone new
While I still haunt this life

See what I became?
Sweetest friend of mine
All the ones I loved
Left me with the time

So take it, have it all
My fortress built from hurt
I will fail you still
I’ll drag you through the dirt
If I had a chance
Far beyond the gray
I’d hold onto myself
And find another way



I Broke Myself Today

Beneath The Velvet

I Wont Ask You To Stay

I Won’t Ask You To Stay Alt Ver

Daddy worked the mines till his body gave out,
Coal dust clouded his mind with doubt,
He told me, "One day, son, you’ll rise out these hills—
Stay away from the dope, whiskey and pills."

This world’s got a way of tearing folks down,
Keep faith in god, and you'll always stand solid and sound.
Keep walking the line, don’t cheat and don’t steal—
Head up and work, and don’t dull your senses feel what you feel.

I've tried I swear, but it’s been a rough cross to bear,
There’s a weight in this life making it hard to care, 
I hear your voice in my head and it gives me strength through the chills—
Stay away from the dope, whiskey and pills."


Your name is as good as your word you keep, 
Mending burnt bridges take time and hard work you can't cheat
Wounds will heal, sometimes in takes silence and  years—
Walk the line and work hard, and don’t give in to fears.

I stumbled, I’ve slipped, I can still hear your voice,
In a world full of  temptation, Ill make my choice.
I hold your lessons through struggle and still—
Steady staying away from the dope, whiskey and pills."

808 Glock #808Glock Vermont Psychedelic #VermontPsychedelic 



Yeah…
Turn it up in the headphones
Let that bass knock
We cookin’ under pressure now
Can't stop 


Pressure cooker, don't lift the lid
Too hot in the zone, can't chill, can't sit
Mind on my money, grind heavy like a brick
Got the world on my back and I still won't quit

Boom like thunder when I step on the block
808s knock like a hammer in a Glock
Cookin' up heat like the stove don't stop
Whole room bounce when the bassline drop


I was born in the storm, forged in the flame
Never been a pawn, I redesigned the game
Cold like December, ice in my veins
Now I light up the sky like a jet in Ukraine

Tunnel vision, I don't blink when I’m movin’
Clock tickin’, every bar I drop proven
They try to slow me down but I’m groovin’
King with the crown and the throne ain't movin'

Rims spin when I ride through the city
Got a goddess with me and her vibe too pretty
Big stack dreams, no cap, no gimmick
This is real rap, not a TikTok minute


Pressure cooker, don't lift the lid
Too hot in the zone, can't chill, can't sit
Money on my mind, grind heavy like a brick
Got the world on my back and I still won't quit

Boom like thunder when I step on the block
808s knock like a hammer in a Glock
Cookin' up heat like the stove don't stop
Whole room bounce when the bassline drop


Look—
They been prayin’ on my fall, but I'm skywalkin’
Every step moonlight, that's fly talkin’
Pocket full of goals, got the grind on me
And a voice so raw, it’s the iron in me

Clockin' overtime in a world that’s fake
I’m a real one standin’ in a plastic state
Put my life in the bars, got stars on tape
Got a soul like Nip and a heart like Drake

No breaks, no peace, no plan B
I came from the dust, now I stand like a tree
Roots in the struggle, now I reach for the peak
Make the booth erupt every time that I speak

Too hot, can't hold me
Pressure rise, I'm holy
Ten toes, I'm solid
That crown? I want it

Too hot, can't hold me
Pressure rise, I'm holy
Ten toes, I'm solid
That crown? I want it

Pressure cooker, don't lift the lid
Too hot in the zone, can't chill, can't sit
Money on my mind, grind heavy like a brick
Got the world on my back and I still won't quit

Boom like thunder when I step on the block
808s knock like a hammer in a Glock
Cookin' up heat like the stove don't stop
Whole room bounce when the bassline drop


Yeah… this that pressure…
Vermont Psychedelic in the lab…
We don't simmer—we blow.
Bang. 





808 Glock

Whiskey Wind




They built the walls, they drew the lines,
Measured years in dollar signs.
Carved the hours into stone,
Claimed the sun as if their own.


They bought the hands that turn the clocks,
Chained the winds and called them stocks.
Said the future’s just a shelf —
That they could franchise time itself.


But time is not a thing to buy,
It won’t be leased, it won’t comply.
You can name each breath you take,
Still it leaves you in its wake.
You can bind it up in stealth —
But no one franchises time itself.


They filed claims on days unborn,
Filed taxes on the coming storm.
Sold the moon in numbered shares,
Mapped the stars, but left them bare.


With polished suits and tongues of gold,
They swore eternity was sold.
Built their thrones on fleeting wealth,
Dreamed they could franchise time itself.


But time slips past the silent gate,
Ignores the plans we fabricate.
It folds the kings into the clay,
And takes the crowns they tried to save.


No deed will hold the rising dawn,
No name survives when we are gone.
You can try to bend its will —
But time moves on, relentless still.
We are shadows of ourselves,
Fools to franchise time itself.


You can build your legacy,
But time… it leaves for free.






Time Itself

I left my boots by the back door, caked in coal dust and regret
Mama said, "The mountains don't forgive, and they never let you forget"
I caught the train 'fore the sun come up, bottle heavy in my hand
Tryna outrun a memory and a life I didn't plan


There's ashes in the creek where we used to lay
And the willow by the water don't bend my way
I burned down bridges with a devil’s grin
But the smoke keeps risin' from where I’ve been
So I pray to the wind, but it don’t speak—
Just leaves me staring at ashes in the creek


She wore June like a wedding dress, barefoot in the rye
Said, "You can’t be a good man, if you’re always sayin’ goodbye"
I swore I'd send for her once I made my name
But names don’t mean a damn thing when you're broken just the same


There's ashes in the creek where we used to lay
And the willow by the water don't bend my way
I burned down bridges with a devil’s grin
But the smoke keeps risin' from where I’ve been
So I pray to the wind, but it don’t speak—
Just leaves me staring at ashes in the creek


I heard she married some preacher's son, grows her tomatoes in the spring
I still see her in the rearview fog, wearin’ my old ring


There's ashes in the creek, like a curse I sowed
And the Lord don’t answer when the whiskey flows
I lit that match thinkin’ I’d be free
But freedom’s lonely, and it don’t come cheap
Now I talk to the wind, but it don’t speak—
Just listens quiet to the ashes in the creek


Yeah, the mountain knows what I done wrong
She don't forgive, but she'll hum along 



Ashes In The Creek

There’s an empty lane on the highway tonight,
A quiet on the air that just ain’t right.
Your voice still echoes through the dash and chrome,
But the man behind the wheel has gone on home.

You gave a voice to every lonely mile,
Turned a diesel song into a reason to smile.
A brother, a fighter, a heart full of grace,
Now you’re rollin’ where the good Lord paves.



So roll, Bill, roll — where the blacktop turns to gold,
Where the weight of life gets easy on the soul.
You’re free now, no more lines to chase,
But God knows, the road won’t be the same.



I can see you now, cap pulled down low,
A smile beneath that brim like the morning glow.
Slingin’ that guitar from a sleeper cab stage,
Telling stories of the lonely and the brave.

You were the song for the lost and the tired,
A flame for the hearts running heavy and wired.
And though your last log’s signed, your wheels spun true,
The highways all remember you.



So roll, Bill, roll — where the blacktop turns to gold,
Where the weight of life gets easy on the soul.
No more weigh stations, no more breakdown pain,
But God knows, the road won’t be the same.



Breakers on the air, voices call your name,
“10-4 good buddy… we’ll never forget your lane.”
Tail lights fading into that endless dawn,
But your songs, Bill... they roll on.


So roll, Bill, roll — where the blacktop turns to gold,
Where the chains fall off, and the stories unfold.
The sky’s your highway, the stars guide your way,
But down here, the road won’t be the same.


No, down here... the road won’t be the same.
(Rest easy, brother.)
