Beat Red 04:46
Kept these lips only slightly parted Waiting for the right heart to catch my breath Curtained off any full flash exposure Bright lights and promises only made me shy away, shy away I wanna lay where your head touches down Speak a thousand words without a sound Your eyes guide me in To that dark forgotten back room With your hands on my skin Warm blue runs through these frostbitten veins Calming the storm while searching for air Autumn tree eyes losing color by day Seek out a perfect sunset through a camera’s frame, it’s all the same I wanna lay where your head touches down Speak a thousand words without a sound Your eyes guide me in To that dark forgotten back room With your hands on my skin Break me, Break me Break me open Tear this stone heart from my chest And make it beat red again Beat red, Beat red Make it beat red again

Blink 04:50
I would give it all up I keep telling myself I would Throw it all away to sit at a fast bar, sip wine and soak you in. I am a silly girl, a silly girl And you’re the most beautiful, Beautiful man I know I could have walked all night As long as you were next to me Peered into your eyes as the street lamps hovered above But I watched you walk away, fractured cunning pride A hundred questions attached to every blink of my welled up eyes Blink, blink Blink, blink Just to feel it again, How you move me Like parchment so old, seething for one more, long drink of your words I’m a silly girl, a silly girl Because I will wait for it Wait for it without fail, I’ll fail I could have walked all night As long as you were next to me Peered into your eyes as the street lamps hovered above But I watched you walk away, fractured cunning pride A hundred questions attached to every blink of my welled up eyes Blink, blink Blink, blink

There is a place I know, not too far away A few days by car, 5 hours by plane Where 60 step blocks and the maze underground Churn one foot, then another, no silence, no sound I offer these scattered roots, arms open to the sky I planted myself here, a cure for the nagging why Walk ‘til these hollow streets finally echo my name Map out this foreign land, but home just the same Book-ended bridge walks, alone with my pride Missed the water beneath me until I noticed my stride With four feet I trusted, I never looked down It’s 2 that I’m stuck with, 2 and I’ll drown I offer these scattered roots, arms open to the sky I planted myself here, a cure for the nagging why Walk ‘til these hollow streets finally echo my name Map out this foreign land, but home just the same Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking, no sleep Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking, you’ll see I’ll walk. I’ll walk. I offer these scattered roots, arms open to the sky I planted myself here, a cure for the nagging why Walk ‘til these hollow streets finally echo my name Map out this foreign land, but home just the same

I’ll leave you to your Brooklyn bedroom Singing sweet songs of a childhood lost And find you close in a dreamers state Knock, knock, look up, keys drop If the ceiling had eyes I could see to the skies Through the only up that’s looking down My voice to your ears, your words to my eyes Thousands of miles through this rooftop crown Running through old thorns and roses Skipping simple like the chords once played We’re keeping time by stepping up steep stairs 3 flights, 3 hours, don’t let me wake If the ceiling had eyes I could see to the skies Through the only up that’s looking down My voice to your ears, your words to my eyes Thousands of miles through this rooftop crown I’ll beg the moonlight as she peeks her way in Lull me to sleep, take me way down deep Where I am she and you are us, it, and him If the ceiling had eyes I could see to the skies Through the only up that’s looking down My voice to your ears, your words to my eyes Thousands of miles through this rooftop crown I’ll leave you to your Brooklyn bedroom And I’ll dream you……tonight

Real to Reel 07:40
At one time you could open, the door to me With one smile, one glance one kiss Now it’s just sad song excuses, foot in the mouth offerings Amputated jealousy, buried alive and left to burn the scorn within me But I had to be you to see you and ended up seeing me Now it all plays on, all day long Across my closed eyelid movie screen It’s a new leaf, but the same old tree that was offered me Decline, cut ties, lock lipped Now these short strings of longing cut off in hopes of clarity Dangle freely once again And I won’t bait the wound to heal what was expected But I had to be you to see you and ended up seeing me Now it all plays on, all day long Across my closed eyelid movie screen So I’ll let you go, wipe the slate clean It was you, you who told me so, in permanent ink A bad idea it was, I know I lost my head and made you my home A bad idea it was, I know I lost my head and made you my home

about

Erona Los Angeles, California

Music has never been a stranger to Erona. It began as a choir solo with 300 back up singers at age of 10 and she has not stopped since. Though influenced by artists like Billie Holiday, Janis Ian, Jeff Buckley, and Paula Cole, music, to her, was no longer about telling someone else's story, but rather living her own. A soulful song or a deep blues groove allow her to share her stories this far. ... more
