I have seen you before, holding my hand 
as a child when I'd roam in the night. 
I have watched you grow, letting go of my hand 
as the man who built wings out of dreams. Oh...

Rock me, roll me, knock me out of your head.
Gently take me, shoot me into the next
scene where we find seas of experience.
Let me set free distrust of circumstance.
We both know that I am lost to your plans.
I can't stand still, not when love changes hands.
It was Someone, now it's Air Coming In.
Goodbye, July, one day (someday), you'll understand...

When Love Changes Hands, 2015

(the Ego says,)

"I like to think about my choices playing out in the future with no real knowledge of what's to come. I make many wishes with no action to move them to their completion and beat myself up when dreams don't come.

And if you look at me funny, I'll assume it's because

You agree that I'm the center of the world and that I'm not good enough. If I could be just a little more tan, with a little less fat, with radiant skin, with a little more cash, with a business degree, with all that wit and class, with the perfection of charm, with something fast

with a little less fat with a little less fat with a little less fat with a little less fat with a little less fat with a little less fat with a little less...

Bad things will happen to me because they happened a long time ago--the good times more so than not, but I'm not satisfied with what I've got. If you don't fall in love with me that must mean that I'm a freak or that I'm ugly, not worth your time, and I should just kill myself.

And if you look at me funny, I'll assume it's because

Let Us Mock the Ego, 2015

Would it make you feel better
to pretend we're alone again?
If you can last one more hour,
imagine the touch of a fading friend.
In the woods or by the water
or the room the guitars were in
do what you can if that's it takes
for you to feel you're strong again.

Empty hands,
they reach for anything they can,
tying knots
to make a ladder of descent
into the dream machine again.

I said you could
do it any way you wanted.
Here's my parting gift to you,
my stoic, never-lover:
a never-ending palette--
you can mix all of the  colors.
We can make a mess and then just
start the whole thing over.
(We'll always have this
because a dream goes on forever.)

Would it make you feel better
to pretend this is worthiness?
When you give me the time inside
that I can't really let you have?
Will you rest a little more easy
if you keep me wrapped around your head?
Maybe later, when you get what you wanted,
then I can finally get out of bed.

Empty hands,
they reach for anything they can,
tying knots
to make a ladder of descent
into the dream machine again.

I said you could
do it any way you wanted.
Here's my parting gift to you,
my stoic, never-lover:
a never-ending palette--
you can mix all of the  colors.
We can make a mess and then just
start the whole thing over.
(We'll always have this
because a dream goes on forever, baby.)

Dream Machine, 2015

It's poppy. It's dreamy. It's also edgy. It's basically like an edgy dream -- a nightmare? No; more like a FANTASY.

V1
I have been around the block a few times
But I can't forget that look in your eyes
I've tried to move right through this wall in my mind
I die a little each time I'm waiting for your hand to find mine

Chorus
As the air gets colder 
You're pulling me closer
I like it

And while the night grows older
I'm feeling much bolder
You like it

And as the cars whiz past us
They're staring right at us
Keep going

And you're breathing so slowly 
Your hands all over me
Keep going

V2
I have been around this block a few times
Still I can't forget about that look in your eyes
I've tried to move right through this wall in my mind
I've died a little each time that I've waited for your hand to find mine

Chorus
As the air gets colder
You're pulling me closer
I like it

And while the night grows older
I'm feeling much bolder
You like it

And as these cars whiz past us
They're staring right at us
Keep going

And now you're breathing so slowly
Your hands all over me
Keep going

Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
etc.

Keep Going

V1
I tried to tell you, that the time was winding down
I called out for you, but it didn't make a sound
I reached out for you, but you slipped into the crowd
You know it's just not like you, to hide away when I'm around

PC1
And the reason why you feel this way is still unknown
There's a reason why I've gone away; it's still unknown

Chorus
Words replay, you drink all day.. I know
This awful place, this hopeless haze -- I know.

V2
I tried to tell you, that the sun was going down
Called from behind you that the light was burning out
You know I tried to warn you, that this plane was going down
But you jumped off too soon -- when you were too high off the ground

PC2
And the reason why you suffocate is still unknown
But it doesn't have to end this way (you know)

Chorus
Cards you saved, the looks we gave.. I know
You hold that gaze and cry all day.. I know

Outro
You took the blade; it kept you sane. I know.
I hear you say, "Another day?".. I know.

But the reason why you died that day is still unknown
The last thing that I heard you say was: "just, let, go"

But it doesn't have to be that way..

you know.

Woochega started out as a cover band back in 2014 but quickly began crafting fun and classic-sounding originals. The heart of the band is its married duo, Christopher and Jace Yarbrough, and the music that the band creates is a finely blended mix of rock, jazz, synth pop and alternative.
