I write in many different styles. I don't care for "Genre" tags, I care if the music sounds good. Are the lyrics good? Check out the different albums here because each of them (34) have their own style. If your like me your music tastes are all over the map. We all just want good music. You will find good music here.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Kerosene on painted skin
Strike the match, let it in
Laughter chokes, ropes go slack
No more turning, no going back

Verse 2
They said smile, stay in line
Now the fire redraws the sign
Crowd runs blind, exits lie
Smoke writes truth across the sky

[Solo]

Verse 3
Cut the strings, drop the act
Hear the tent bones start to crack
If we’re monsters, let us be
Ash is honest, ash is free

Chorus
Burn the big top
Let it fall
No more gods
No more calls
Burn the big top
Watch it glow
What we were
Has to go

Bridge
You sold the wound, framed the scream
Called it culture, called it dream
Now the heat don’t clap or care
Fire don’t know who you were

Chorus
Burn the big top
Name erased
No encore
No safe place
Burn the big top
Cut the wire
This is not
Entertainment

[Solo]

Outro
Canvas screams, poles give way
Spotlights melt into the gray
When the ashes finally drop
Nothing left
Of the big top
