Flies 05:12
Why'd you go and make it so Hard for me to hold the love that you show We were just kids making it too hard I don't know who I ever was to you But I would stay around and let you do the things you do Well I don't know the girl that you once knew Because she was waiting for a half heart But waiting for you only got her so far In the wilderness with a lonely heart Well I hope that you know That I would never take back The nights of our youth in the gravel on the train track I suppose, I was chasing a dream with a rope in my hand Tied to somebody else's plan How many flies on my windowsill have collected the dust of the wind chill How many flies on my windowsill have collected in days that we can't kill Wanted to put me on the right track Wanted to give til there was nothing left to take back There was a part of me that you knew you had You had me believing That what i really wanted was deceiving I really wanted you to believe in me Well there was a time That I felt so free running down the track with you running next to me But now, it feels just like a dream Falling to the ground now it's nothing but a bloody knee How many flies on my windowsill have collected the dust of the wind chill How many flies on my windowsill have collected in days that we can't kill How many times can I put my bet on the fortune we chase into this debt How many times can I put my bet on the days that I'm trying to forget

I always wondered when There would be a way for us In simple times I'd sing to you Until the silence filled the room up I'll never know exactly what You kept inside of you But I never trusted myself more Than when I trusted you In the soil we'd sown Little pieces of our souls What is buried in part I don't think we'll ever really know You know I'd calm your troubled mind If only I knew how I could We both know that I tried so hard But I never really understood I know that you know How hard it is to let go What is buried in part I don't think we'll ever really know All those years you were the one While we lay buried in the sun I wanna rise up from the soil Even if I am the only one

Golden Age 03:13
Hey, what do you say Let's go for a walk so we can talk about the golden age I don't wanna let you down So we can forget for awhile about all the ways we've changed Don't you think the end is strange Yeah its been awhile since I put on a smile for your video tape All you have of me you can fit in a box underneath your bed Because it used to mean something I'm not gonna let you keep me standing in the shade So I'm breaking free from illusion of the golden age What a mess we made Now it's so impossible to keep me in the shade You and the way you hesitate If you can't be sure about it then how can you be sure of anything I'm not gonna let you keep me standing in the shade So I'm breaking free from illusion of the golden age Hey what do you say Let's go for a walk so we can talk about the golden age

Setting Sun 03:47
I hate the feeling of feeling like I should be somewhere else Feeling like I deserve what I want without explaining it to somebody else I wanna take my sunglasses off and step out in the sun Don't wanna stand in the shadow of what you think you want You're always talking hypothetically My life is not a metaphor now honey come on You just about had every part of me You might as well take what you have and get going I wanna know who we are today not who we thought we were Wanna believe everything that you say but now I'm not so sure You're always talking hypothetically My life is not a metaphor now honey come on You just about had every part of me You might as well take what you have and get going My heart for you is now an illusion It's hard to tell the truth for sure now honey come on The days we loved are now a setting sun You might as well take what you have and get going

Walk On By 03:28
You said that they'd be disappointed when they found out about me Then you said she was a one time beauty and it didn't mean anything You know that I was so unsteady because you always made me weak at the knee But the feeling it was unfamiliar because you looked like someone else to me It's alright if you wanna go on tonight It will hurt for now but it will do some good for you to Walk on, walk on by I think that it would do my heart some good if you drove away now You know you used to love me well but now it's like you don't know how You know that I would trust you through 107 lies at a time It's not the way I feel it's just the truth that I can't hide It's alright if you wanna go on tonight It will hurt for now but it will do some good for you to Walk on, walk on by

Hey, what do you say Let's go for a walk so we can talk About the golden age Don't you think the end is strange It's been awhile since I put on a smile For your videotape All you have of me You can fit in a box underneath your bed Because it used to mean something I'm not gonna let you keep me Standing in the shade Because I'm breaking free from illusion Of the golden age What a mess we made Now it's so impossible to keep me in the shade You and the way you hesitate If you can't be sure about it Then how can you be sure of anything I'm not gonna let you keep me Standing in the shade Because I'm breaking free from illusion Of the golden age Hey, what do you say Let's go for a walk so we can talk About the golden age

about

Anya Van Rose Canton, Ohio

Playful and sweet grounded by dark guitar-driven grit, Anya Van Rose gives you honesty with dynamic juxtaposition. She wants you to know the truth and it’s evident that she doesn’t shy away from paradox. Her upcoming record Lucky Stars, set to release July 14th 2023, is the afterglow of a starry-eyed daydream where perspective shifts from head-in-the-clouds reverie to the fiercely feminine. ... more
