lyrics

Don't worry of your black heart
There's no need to over flow
The beating had a false start
and your father will always know
You took it in the best stride
Hoping your sister would never know
That daddy had a bad side
He kept hidden down below

woah oh
woah oh
woah oh
woah oh

Growing up was alright
Trading sticks & breaking bones
And living in your own mind
Finding freedom in every note
Then you met a second heart
Showed you Left of The Dial
And spinning on that 45
You fought back with a microphone

woah oh
woah oh
woah oh
woah oh

While you were growing up you were short on luck
Your headphones set to drown
But you can close your eyes, think of alibi's
Athena won't hear a sound
But here's to waking up the blood that's in your cup
and you can scream "I'm still alive"
We're all still alive

woah oh
woah oh
woah oh
woah oh
woah oh
woah oh

Past Lives & Pass Lines
by Jared Hart

Looking for acoustic songs both intimate and intense? Jared Hart, front-man for New Jersey punks The Scandals, delivers in a way only he can. Gruff sing-along anthems abound and is not to be missed. Ghost In The Willow

THE WHITE ROSE
by DIVIDED HEAVEN

I can't say enough good things about Divided Heaven. Toe tappers and hooks for days! Somewhere between Ryan Adams and Billie Joe Armstrong is where Jeff's songwriting shines. He's the real deal. Ghost In The Willow
