Tug of War 03:47
Its time that I faced reality Everyone is starting to look just like me Wherever I go there’s a door that reads “Only use in case of an emergency” I guess I could use one now I’ll never have the word “clone” Written on my tombstone I don’t want to waste the prime of my life They aren’t leaving satisfied If I was blind maybe I could see The beauty in the inconsistencies They say that everything’s found I say hell with them I’m gonna turn the map face down and start all over I’m finished with reciting my lines Its time I improvised Is it all in my head or is it real How Could I turn down such a deal A simple handshake would find me gold But I could never afford to buy back my soul I’ve been beaten by a dead horse one too many times So I’m taking my life off the line Tug of war is why I fell every day So I just let go and walked away

Blackjack 04:19
Blackjack Started out with nothing But good intentions Ain't that the way it always does Slip of the lip and I’m in For more than a bruised one She’ll be lookin’ for new ones before we’re through Now every day feels like I’m Walkin on thin ice Ain't that the way it always does Blackjack in your hand But you throw it out because you never can Win. How can you lie the way you do? I don’t understand I could have sworn you were better than this She knows (‘loves’ in last chorus) you better than you do. I don’t have a clue but She don't either So I’ll keep acting like I do All I have to do is Run away No other way leads back to you Started out with nothing but good intentions I never meant to follow through And If I decide to run away well Now every way leads back to you

Up in the Sky You know the feeling when you’re up in the sky That’s how my head feels all the time Gift of persuasion used and abused by you Has got me playing the role of the fool I swept your chimney Who even looks up there? Hey doctor I’ve got a question What more can I take? Just find out how much will kill me Then take some away I know she knows I don't Know much at all But I know something that she don't I can’t see the ground It’s covered with names you dropped while in town Everyone loves you they fall at your knees If that’s what you need I’d rather be free I bought you perfume You didn’t even use it I’ve seen beyond your charm Such a clever disguise All it took was a look from her To pull the wool from my eyes

Simple Fix 04:41
Simple Fix One-way ticket I’ve got nowhere to go I’m on the fast track and I’m takin it slow I’m on the fence and I know just what you mean When you are up here there’s so much to be seen What more can I say, I had It till I took It away I can’t afford another day like this I keep searchin’ for the simple fix I can't stand the way he’s staring at me So I break every mirror that I see I push the pedal down to the floor My tank is full but Im’a give it some more Lights are flashing in my rear-view mirror I’ve got to get out of here Already wrong so I’ve no reason to stay And yet I’m still here at the end of the day I’m simultaneously where I belong I never thought that I would ever have to write this wrong

A Cold Day, Colene My memories weigh so heavily Dragging me down but I do not let go When we were young there were songs to be sung I can’t seem to think of those melodies though The hardest thing about growing up is I can’t tell if I ever did Funny thing I don’t remember much But there are some things you never forget How long has it been my friend? You say that every day is a cold day, Colene But you’ll never move where its warm cause you like the snow When I hear about you I cry, “Are you okay Colene?” When the others laughed in my face you said it’d be all right Now it’s my turn It’ll be all right It’ll be all right It was on that day you said to me Don’t listen to what they say That’s when I caught a glimpse of love That’s something I could never repay When you’re lying there so silent Memories rush through your head I hope that you remember love Oh believe in those words that you said Life has lied to you again Life has lied but it’ll be all right

Eight Ball 03:58
Eight Ball I don’t find a thing you do amusing I don’t want to see what you have done Tell me what it is you find confusing Tell me just how far you're gonna run I wont find another bone to throw you I wont sit around to watch you fail Go ahead and tell me all the things that I should do And just see If I put up another bail I gotta say your attitude has never really helped us at all I hope this ain't the trip before the fall I see the end coming and now I’m trying not to call I'll never scratch again on the eight ball I can’t miss you until you're gone I can't take your picture off the shelf Tell me when you think that you have moved on But don't tell me if you’re lying to yourself

I'm an Actor 03:26
I’m an Actor I know we’ve shared a couple laughs But you don’t know me, no one does I’d say I wear a lot of masks Sometimes I can’t tell which ones real Oh no I Oh no I’m an actor Oh no I’m not the man you know I’m an actor and that’s all I’ll ever be But I’ve found someone whose life’s the show Wherein I can truly play the part of me I used to think that I had no other choice But to give in to every voice Now that I know I don’t have to entertain you There’s so much that Id love to say Do you really think I’d really live that lie

Tailspin 03:33
Tailspin I’m in a tailspin but I wont slow down whoah I always pull up before I hit the ground whoah Situation critical Never ends well that’s typical Coming round going round Got to keep control but I might just let it go Swear I’ve never been to a place like this before Kind of looks the same but I just cant tell anymore Losing my mind but I tell myself its ok I know its never best to let your past get in the way I’ve never flown this low I should’ve landed this thing days ago So if this is how I go and I lose it all I might as well enjoy the fall There is no way that I could do All of those things I’ve put you through And now I know, and now I know that I have gone Out of control but out of this hole I’ve dug myself
9.
Reckless 03:39
Reckless I’ve lit my candle at both ends How I pretend I don’t know how to explain to you But what else can I do As daylight fades I count the days I keep myself from you I can’t deny how it felt so right It felt so right with you They tell me I’ve lost my mind, That you’re not the kind of girl You opened my eyes to uncover colors That I never knew If I knew that this time Your body against mine Would be the last time My hand runs through your hair I’d stop and hold you there I won't let go My conscience condescends my heart A traitor to my cause How could I turn the lights off Hoping I’ll find my way in the dark You’re not the reckless type Your guards up all the time Just let go
10.
Hooked 02:43
Hooked Strange your gonna put on the rock shelf Strange your gonna put it on too Vain I bet you don’t know her last name Vain she’s working for you Blame I couldn’t stop if I tried to Blame I hardly feel it at all Shame only thinking of myself Shame but I’m caught up in you Claim that all I wanted was action Became, something I can’t control Change, Now the victim is myself Change, I kinda like it this way

Between the lines Don’t think its complicated Don’t think that I can’t take it Its time to make or break through It’s your articulation Set to my syncopation That lifts my feet off the ground My own hallucination You’re giving good vibrations I need to feel it again But I see straight through your get up I’m screaming out I’m fed up I’m gonna loose my mind No it’s not complicated Don’t make this complicated Do I need to say it again? No it’s not complicated Please make this complicated I’m gonna loose my mind I can’t waste my time Waste my time with your heart Oh please waste my time Waste my time before I fall apart I love to hate it Read between the lines

about

Swell Daze Washington, D.C.

On August 14th Swell Daze released a new EP titled 'Electrify Me'. The EP shows Swell Daze's writing style heading in a more mature direction with a focus on catchy melodies, relatable lyrics, and pop style arrangements. The songs, however, are still driven by strong lead and backing vocals, heavy lead guitars, melodic bass lines, and powerful drum parts that make up the Swell Daze sound. ... more
