day 1 || All smoke, no fire
“A burning bush, without the voice of God…”
Ghosts from the past keep returning, returning, returning…
To remind me of where I came from, who I was, and what I believed. To remind me of those I loved and trusted… those who hurt me. Some days I still feel angry. At the past, the world I grew up in, and myself for being so easily used. Now I see the lies, but I’ve grown so cynical, will I know the truth when I see it?
I stand on a precipice, staring into the depths below, then turn around and retrace my steps.

Behind The SCENES...
I co-wrote this song with Callie Crofts, a billboard-charting songwriter and former frontwoman of My Fair Fiend.
I was a fan of My Fair Fiend long before I became friends and eventual collaborators with Callie and drummer Zac Bryant.
Zac and Callie are partners both in music and in life. 💕
The religious imagery in this song is not accidental. Although neither of us are still practicing, I was raised Catholic and Callie was raised Mormon.
Depeche Mode was our inspiration for the instrumentation- we wanted something dark and dance-y, with 80s vibes.

Once I was lonely
Before you came to know me
Once I was innocent
I knew you too early
Before I knew a thing about me
You showed me how to sin
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
All smoke, no fire
But you had my mind
Twisted up
Around your lovely lies
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
You promised me freedom
From darkness and demons
You cast all the shadows out
As long as I praised you
And loved you and paid you
And bottled up every doubt
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
Dead leaves and no branches
Your smoke signal dances
Once I believed, but you cannot fool me anymore
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
Before you came to know me
Once I was innocent
I knew you too early
Before I knew a thing about me
You showed me how to sin
All smoke, no fire
A divine facade
Like a burning bush
Without the voice of god
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
All smoke, no fire
But you had my mind
Twisted up
Around your lovely lies
Like oxygen, I breathed you in
I’m suffocating, s-suffocating
You promised me freedom
From darkness and demons
You cast all the shadows out
As long as I praised you
And loved you and paid you
And bottled up every doubt
All smoke, no fire
