Better Days here I am again at the bottom looking up thirsty, but I’m left with a bone-dry empty cup hope is all but lost and I know I’m not alone times have proven tough we’re all worn down to the bone, but... there will be better days my friend there will be better days again hanging by a thread one step forward, two straight back dreams on the frontline constantly under attack switch backs, peaks and valleys life can be a dangerous road pray for some vision and survive this episode there will be better days my friend there will be better days again here I am again at the bottom looking up thirsty, but I’m left with a bone-dry empty cup hope is all but lost and I know I’m not alone times have proven tough we’re all worn down to the bone, but... there will be better days my friend there will be better days again

Free at Last free at last the past is past through the flack I’ve battled...battled back things are looking up from here the storm has passed, the sky is clear finally starting to believe the light ahead will not deceive can’t outrun a soul undone what is true will follow...follow you things are looking up from here the storm has passed, the sky is clear finally starting to believe the light ahead will not deceive day to day looms large little things get supercharged we hurt and we heal got no fairytales to steal searching higher ground for peace of mind, and a different sound tonight I feel all right yeah I feel all right, all right

What Can I Do I am lost in no man’s land a future only sold off-brand I’ve been up, but hey down in it now no one’s sure of anything who knows what tomorrow brings hanging on the best way I know how still dreaming while taking life day to day I’m givin’ it all I got...what can I do it’s a strange new world with a past overdue for a reckoning I’m givin’ it all I got...what can I do...what can I do nothing is the way it seems truth is tribal reduced to memes reason just don’t sell like fear and doubt searching for a brighter sky where the better angels of our nature fly there’s still hope, I quite count us out still dreaming while taking life day to day I’m givin’ it all I got...what can I do it’s a strange new world with a past overdue for a reckoning I’m givin’ it all I got...what can I do...what can I do dark days won’t last forever but sick and tired of stormy weather...none of us are alright too close to gain perspective and way too scared to get reflective...is this dawn or twilight still dreaming while taking life day to day I’m givin’ it all I got...what can I do it’s a strange new world with a past overdue for a reckoning I’m givin’ it all I got...what can I do...what can I do

Push on Through I...find myself against the wall for the first time in a long long while and I don’t see a clean way out I don’t know where I go from here I thought I had it all in line but that’s when life seems to humble us bringing us crashing back to Earth the shock is making one thing clear I’m in too deep exhausted, but cannot sleep oh...I’m lost, gotta take it slow tough times force us grow there’s no goin’ round, gotta push on through gotta take it slow tough times force us grow there’s no goin’ round, gotta push on through hope...distant in our darkest days yet the burning embers light our way and lead us to higher plane a place beyond the here and now I’m really trying to believe these clouds will part, this storm will pass the pain is overwhelming me surviving but I don’t how I’m in too deep exhausted, but cannot sleep oh...I’m (chorus) I’m searching, for answers still going, but running on empty headed down a low-lit road with no clue what’s coming, what’s waiting helplessness is armed and invading yet faith in a new day strangely holds true, gotta push on through... (chorus)

Denizens we fall we stand tall life is hard to live it’s you, you must forgive all I know is your heart glows through your deepest scars it shines like distant stars lost then found then lost again in this hell we are denizens I was blind but now I see we can never lose hope in what can be look inside where we all hide trust your inner voice scary, but there’s no choice lost then found then lost again in this hell we are denizens I was blind but now I see we can never lose hope in what can be

Dan Pellegrino Norfolk, Virginia

I grew up playing in a punk/metal band, but never really thought about venturing out on my own until my dad passed away in 2011. I wrote a song for him and performed at his wake. This moment revealed a new creative path and has helped me reflect and explore feelings of love, loss, friendship and family.

Thanks for listening! ... more
