So many thoughts, so many rhymes, so many words, so many times
I have wondered what I done wrong?
Push it out, peel it back, give it up, crawl on out of my slumber and now I’m done
Flipping out and all I hear are the singing of bluebirds and I feel fine
I am aligned for this has been granted
Circles in time, no longer stranded.
So many times I’ve opened up the door hoping you would come on in and ask for me
What have I done wrong?
Through the piles of ignorance I’ve sent the stage and nothing else has happened since
Who have you become?
Maybe I held on too tight, maybe I didn’t even care what I came here for
When I saw the ripples and tears in the floorboard I said that I’m done keeping score
I am aligned for this has been granted
People of mine, no longer slanted.
I hear those bluebirds tiptoe tin roof they’re singing again. Yeah, they’re singing again.
All the bitterness stuck in the past all the lies you know wouldn’t last
Don’t let it take you it’s just waiting to break you.
All the bitterness stuck in the past all the lies you know wouldn’t last
Yeah, I am aligned
All the bitterness stuck in the past all the lies you know wouldn’t last
I am aligned

Take You There

I’m sittin’ here again; eyes are open yet I am somewhere else
I’ve tried so hard to hide the signs
There’s a space that I go…
Little world of wonder and fantasy that you and I could know and so
Let me show you the way to these feelings I would share
There’s no reason to feel alone for I will take you there.
Me and you, a play inside and recognize what no one else could feel
You want these thoughts just read my eyes
In there we’d see, amazing colors painted by the air that we both breathe
Look at me can you see what I see?
Let me show you the way to these feelings I would share
There’s no reason to feel alone for I will take you there.
Every time I settle down I look around I wonder what do you feel?
These eyes of mine these thoughts I hide these signs are just for you
And if you can please hear my mind, and if you can’t just read my eyes.
Read my eyes.
Let me show you the way to these feelings I would share
There’s no reason to feel alone, for this heart will take you there.
And I will show you all I want and I will take you there
Just let me show you this life I will take you there

Release Me

Little eyes they tell me they know how this story goes.
Though they face this monster it barely shows
As I slip she whispers, “I’ll be alright”.
Reminds me I’m not leaving here tonight.
But this night is too quiet
My mind is restless fight it
I squander for the key
Burn down this beast
Lying in this bed I’m stuck noise inside of me
Gotta get up the nerve to give up and believe
Man I could swear that’s my song on the radio
Can’t tell this pain is blazin’ in stereo
This night is too quiet
My mind is restless fight it
I squander for the key
Burn down this beast and release me
And there’s no tellin’ when it will end and when it will begin again
And there’s no shame in pretending.
This night is too quiet
My mind is restless fight it
I squander for the key
Burn down this beast and release me
Burn, Burn, Burn, Burn
Burn down this beast and release me
Burn, Burn, Burn, Burn

Another Sun

Here I go again searching for the sun and I hit the ground you try to pull me in.
Yet another time when I try and find and there is nothing around except the shadows I’m standing in.
My mind is twisted inside out, upside down.
I just can’t be me for you until I’m found.
‘Til I’m found
I need some distance I know you hear me loud and clear.
A final promise to be gone then I’m gone from here
Hard to feel the sun, find another one, hard to see the light
I’d rather hide in the shade when my darkness is way, way, way too bright
Falling further away
I need some distance I know you hear me loud and clear.
A final promise to be gone then I’m gone
We can’t be friends, these years of fighting
We can’t defend, these words are binding
Say our world ain’t slipping away.
Should I stay?
Remember when it all just fell into place?
We laughed and rolled around in bed all day
And all these years of fighting, finally broken, we’ve come undone
And even though it’s dark and split wide open it’s what we’ve become
Take my hand, take my hand, let’s find another sun
Take my hand, take my hand, let’s find another sun

Well-Known Strangers Racine, Wisconsin
Well-Known Strangers is a cello-infused indie pop-rock band from SE Wisconsin. The group mines a sophisticated but accessible sound that recalls Of Monsters and Men, Mumford & Sons, 10,000 Maniacs, and Goo Goo Dolls. Distinguishing Well-Known Strangers from those bands are the one-two punch of Betsy’s vocal power, sass, and swagger, and Sacia’s classically trained cello playing. ... more
