lyrics

You sabotage the well so well so you can play the martyr again,
Don't you think that poisoned drink could yellow your skin?

Left alone, that rollicking boil dies down to a sad sad simmer.

Walking, waking dream, the scenes unfold, the fact is you never knew,
Chanting sentences, but all over again a surprise to you.

Long term memories drown out what's not even happening.

You could be so much better off if you could just enjoy the thought:

When everything falls apart at the seams, watch the pattern the way it's supposed to be. Nothing is as bad as it seems, trust yourself and be the machine.

Twilight images give way to night again, but you never sleep.
Hallucinating life while standing there beside your bed fading...

Dim lights make you feel like you're not the only one dying.

You could be so much better off if you could just employ the thought:

When everything is as bad as it seems, watch the pattern the way it's supposed to be. Rip it all apart at the seams, trust yourself and be the machine.

Jenna Kole Richmond, Virginia

I am a songwriter from Locust Grove, VA.

I finally recorded a full-length solo album released in April of 2019!

I have been busy with a few bands over the years. I have decided to also include the remaining recordings of those projects in this collection mostly so I can remind myself I have actually been doing stuff all this time.

Consider it my musical scrapbook. ... more
