Same Old Fire

Bright orange lava erupting from a dark volcanic mountain at night

Verse We got breaking news at breakfast, Another siren in the feed, Everybody selling answers, Nobody asking what we need. New flags hanging from the windows, Old ghosts marching down the street, They just changed the names and logos, Same boots underneath the beat. Granddad heard it on the radio, Mom watched it live on […]

Verse There’s a television in the window Of a house nobody owns Soft lights dancing on the curtains Like somebody’s still at home And the sprinkler hits the sidewalk Every morning right at five Funny how the little things keep going When the big things don’t survive Verse I saw a man outside the drugstore […]

Paper Wings

A child playfully raises a yellow paper plane against a lush green background.

Intro Morning pours through the kitchen blinds, Dust hangs slow in borrowed light. Coffee rings beside the sink. Everything is learning my name. Verse We grew up chasing satellites, Naming every cloud we’d find. Thought the map was just suggestions, Every road was ours to write. Now the mailbox knows me better, Every envelope arrives […]

Banana Republic Split

a plate of food

VerseRed tape and headlines, they tighten the noose,Promises made, but there’s nothing to lose.Leaders on stage with their tired disguise,Preaching change while they’re feeding us lies.Two sides of the same twisted coin,Making deals while the people groan. ChorusMy banana republic is better when split,Two-party politics is never the trick,Constant fighting over if it’s left or […]

Grounded

VerseI used to run these streets, wild and free,Big city lights, no one could tie me.Fast life, yeah, I was on a roll,Didn’t think I needed anyone to make me whole. Money, power, every night a new scene,But then you came through, switched up the routine.Made me stop, made me think, made me feel,Now I’m […]

The Gathering Storm

VerseThe gathering storm, it whispers through the trees, A harbinger of change, carried on the breeze, With every gust of wind, there’s a tale untold, Not every change is gold, not every heart consoled.

Everything Moves On

VerseIn the quiet dawn, the birds they sing,Their songs of yesterday, what joy they bring,But seasons turn and moments fade,In the wheel of time, where we’ve all been laid. Pre-ChorusWe’re just whispers in the wind, echoes in the light,Stars that shine and then fall out of sight. ChorusEverything moves on, in this endless song,From the […]

Almost There

VerseI wake up every morning, stare into the gray, I tell myself today’s the day I’m finally gonna change. I see the world, it’s moving, and I’m stuck in place, Caught between the man I am and who I want to face. Pre-ChorusI keep on dreaming, but my feet won’t leave the ground, My heart […]

Walking Away From Prosperity

VerseWalking away from prosperity,Leaving behind the chaos and noise.Sick of the politics, tired of the game,Finding solace in the simple joys. ChorusI’m breaking free from the chains of society,Escaping the madness, finding clarity.Turning my back on the world’s woes,Finding peace in the life I chose. VerseNo more chasing dollars, no more lies,I’m forging a path […]

It’s Time For a Revolution

VerseDown by the river, hear the echoes of the past,Where the battles were fought, and the die was cast.But we’re tired of the fighting, we’re tired of the pain,Now is the time for a new refrain. ChorusWe don’t need war no more, it’s time for a revolution,To break down the walls, and find a new […]

Leaving it Behind

a person walking in a field of flowers

VerseIn a crowded room, I caught your eye,Thought I found my starlit sky.But the neon lights, they fade too fast,Lost in a love that couldn’t last. Pre-ChorusFalling for illusions, chasing shadows in the night,But I’ll break free from this endless fight. ChorusI’m leaving love behind,In the city’s neon glow,Gonna find myself again,Where the wildflowers grow.Starting […]

VerseBeen passed by, I roamed alone,A hardened heart, a heart of stone,Through valleys deep, and mountains high,I vowed to never let love pry. Pre-ChorusBut in the midst of despair and strife,A glimmer of hope, a shining light,Your love broke through the fortress I’ve built,A warmth that softened, a love that spilt. ChorusOh, hardened heart you […]

Streets of Revolution

people walking on road

VerseA concrete jungle, where dreams are sold,Every avenue, a tale of shattered gold.The USA, land of liberty turned cold,It’s time we rise, let our stories unfold. Pre-ChorusFrom the coast to the heartland, inequality grows,Systemic oppression, nobody really knows.But we won’t stand silent, we’ll raise our voice,This a rock song, our revolution of choice. Chorus(Oh) Life […]

Endless Road

Darkness Descends, Me and You

trees and pathway

VerseIn the neon glow of midnight’s kiss,We danced like flames, we were lost in this,But now the embers, they’ve turned to dust,In the wreckage of our love, we’ve lost our trust.
