Lyrics:
Come on take a ride,
To the land of the living.
Set all your fears aside.
Do you wanna dance with me?
Shooting for the moon
She's a noisy little girl.
Siren sing a song
She's the apple of my world.
A baby's candy.
Gonna get stole
The Devil is a Juno
The Devil is a Juno
And I'm a klepto.
And I'm a klepto
Pedal to the metal,
You're taking me through the night.
Pick any dark place,
Will you separate my silence?
Shooting for the moon
She's a noisy little girl
Siren sing a song
She's the apple of my world
It's a pornograhic scene.
Are you ready for the show?
The Devil is a Juno
The Devil is a Juno
And I'm an open eagle
And I'm an open eagle
Shooting for the moon
She's a noisy little girl
Siren sing a song
She's the apple of my world
Subliminal tunes
Cannot be controlled 
The Devil is a Juno
The Devil is a Juno
And I'm a criminal
And I'm a criminal!

The Devil is a Juno

Verse 1
Lost in
the madness
Heightened but I'm lazy
I've got a big heart

Scream at
the silence
Embrace the crazy, no
Shoes before the race starts

Bridge
Jumping off a bed
feeling so amazing
Tell me where have you been

Over the edge
Into the unknown hazy
A game we won't give in

Waking up Blind
Losing my mind
Adolescent Surprise
Adolescent Surprise

Waking up Blind
Losing my mind
Adolescent Surprise
Adolescent Surprise

Chorus
Waking up Blind
Losing in my mind
Adolescent Surprise
Adolescent Surprise
Waking up Blind
Losing in my mind
Adolescent Surprise
Adolescent Surprise

Adolescent Surprise

Lyrics:
In a world where music has faded
One group's story stands alone
Their hearts entwined, but their souls divided
Holding on to the band they've grown
They paint a smile, though a masquerade
Behind closed doors, they hide their pain
Their love's a song slightly off-key
But they keep on playing that harmony

Chorus
Lost in the days, lost in a haze
Questioning their place
Though the melodies, they persist
They stay together for the kids
They stay together for the kids

Verse 2
They used to dance to tunes so sweet
But life's struggles took their toll
Now they linger in a distant dream
Trying to find a way out of the hole
They raise their voices to the crowd's dismay
The band plays on, the critics sneer
But they carry on, despite the rage
For the band they love, they hold them dear

Chorus
Lost in the days, lost in the haze
Questioning their place
Though the melodies, they persist
They persist and persist
They stay together for the kids
They stay together for the kids

Outro
Ho, oh oh oh oh
Hey, hey ey ey ey
It'll be alright child
Cuz I'm still coming home
I'm still coming home
They stay together for the kids

The Kids

Lyrics:
Clouds are in control
Searching for my soul
What am I waiting for
a million mile rainbow
Never mind this never-ending
Sleep I can't escape
Hit me with the serenading silence
I want it
The monsters in my head are
Dancing round and round is it
A screaming dream or nightmare 
Yeah, I'm on the precipice
Yeah, I'm on the precipice

Surfing on a white sky
Watching airplanes fly
By my minds design
A wave of reckoning
Reeling me around
An early morning dream

As I wake up wondering what to believe 
Is it Fantasy, fiction, or fatality

Counting sheep again
Tales of 2 am
Passin' out from pain 
Morning's creepin' in
Never mind this never-ending
Sleep I can't escape
Hit me with the serenading silence
I don't care
The monsters in my head are
Dancing round and round again
A screaming dream or nightmare 
When will this torture end?
Yeah, when will this torture end!

Surfing on a white sky
Watching airplanes fly
By my minds design
A wave of reckoning
Reeling me around
An early morning dream
As I wake up wondering what to believe 
Fantasy, fiction, or fatality

Never mind the blinding bright
Or fluffy clouds and gold
Flash between the future and
The past as I go cold
The monsters in my head are
All just people of the light 
Have I been praying for this
Every moment of my life?
Every moment of my life!
Every moment of my life!

Now that I'm awake I know what it is I believe
But is it Fantasy fiction, or a fatality?

Fantasy Fiction Fatality

A ballad close to my heart, about the love that challenges us the most. It's about those moments we choose silence over conflict, not out of indifference, but because sometimes, love means stepping back. Here's to the complex beauty of enduring love.

Lyrics:
Scattered all over the world
Silver wings unfurled unfurled
Just got home and I need to breathe 
Wish I could call you over
Kiss you on that tatted shoulder
But that dreams now out of reach

I'm trying to stand tall
But I'm buried underneath it all 

You'll point the finger
I'll take the blame
I'm good at it
I'm used to shame
It's difficult but
it's my default
It's my default

I put myself back together
Just tear myself all apart
We are the victims of our destiny
I begged for mercy and I begged for more
But I'm still waiting for the final score
Guess it was never meant to be

And I'm trying to stand tall
But I'm buried underneath it all 

You'll point the finger
I'll take the blame
I'm good at it
I'm used to shame
It's difficult but
it's my default
It's my default

My Default

Fallin'

Greetings from Nashville.  Here's a blues tune I wrote a few years ago envisioning a long-haul trucker anxious to get back home.  This really came to life with the help of my friend - guitarist Darren Bates.  Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

I look out of my window - I see the moon is shining bright
Drivin' down this lonesome highway, I see the moon so big and bright
And it won't be long now 'til I'm holdin' her tight

I've been gone almost 30 days - I've seen the moon go through every phase
Knowin' the next time I'd see it in full , I would be back with my baby once more
I look out of my window - I see the moon is shinin' bright
And it won't be long now 'til I'm holdin' her tight

(Organ & Guitar Solos)

I can hardly wait just to see her again - Tell her about all the places I've been
Never no problem for me to be true, and deep in her heart I know she loves me too
I look out of my window - I see the moon so big and bright
And it won't be long now 'til I'm holdin' her tight

I look out of my window - Out of my window
Drivin' down this old highway, I see the moon so big and bright  (so bright)
And it won't be long now 'til I'm holdin' her tight  (all night)

(2 Guitar Solos and out)

Moon Song - Remix 2.28.24

Indie track with a touch of movie soundtrack elements. Its about someone in your life who tried to take power over you and you gain back your strength, only to let them drown in the water of their poor choices

Drowning In Your Water

Using the character of "Eddie Wilson" from the "Eddie and the Cruisers" movies to describe/illustrate about the nostalgic melancholy of looking back on your life.

There Are Times...

Eddie Wilson (Voice Memo)

Memories jumbled in today's distorted reality.
