Magic If - Eleven Dollar Bill (lyrics by Michael...
All of those uncovered stars, Made aware of who you are, It’s a dream, but it feels good, To pretend I’m something bright, On a Greyhound driving overnight.
“Save yourself!” he screams, an actor, “I turned my back on everything I’ve ever asked for” Covered up, stowed in the rafters, The city overflows with prerecorded laughter.
Underneath a purple sky,...

Strange Inside - Eleven Dollar Bill (lyrics by...
I found you curled up, a star of blood and bone, One thousand days of never going out alone, It’s not enough to be the heart inside a home, You are the one but you will never ever know,
Come back my love!
You’re just my type, a little strange inside, Howling all night, a little song to keep alive.
Another little talk, another scenic view, I know the way you get when we are on the...

New Vinyl - Eleven Dollar Bill (lyrics by Michael...
I’m alone, and it lights me up, All aglow on the tongue.
Feeling that pull of the rhythm, Some understated line to hum, When I get my glitter I’ll choose one, Blood on the cover of your new vinyl, That you bought from a pawnshop, Feeling that pull of the trigger, Some other song about a gun, When I was a child I wrote one, Blood on the cover of your new vinyl, That you bought from a...

Smoke Eyes - Eleven Dollar Bill (lyrics by Michael...
I know all the words you’ve spoken, All the words you’ll speak, All the sentences, you’ve given up, How about some music? “Fly Me To The Moon?” I know that one, This hole is only getting deeper, One day I’m shipping home to see her.
I’m at the end of my rope, Under the ashes of the apple blossom, You’re eyes were covered in smoke, I tried but I...

Run Like Hell - Eleven Dollar Bill (lyrics by...
Hand out all of your love, There’s a time for walking, otherwise we run, Barrel, hammer, and stud, Undone, undone, right now it’s all we got.
We’re gonna run like hell, Like every moment is the middle of summer.
Take a note all you lost souls, Got a line you aught to, line you aught to tow, Tighten all of your bows Tie on, tie on, right now it’s all we got.
We’re...

Heatwave - Eleven Dollar Bill (lyrics by Michael...
I used to run with the idiots,
I cut my teeth in one resentful tribe.
When something dark lightens up again,
I won’t lie, it feels alright.
Who wants a life on a moving train?
The never-ending mountains crawling by,
Pretending I can’t see anything,
No heart, or no eyes.
Heatwave, heatwave!
Someone will ask “Now where have you been?”
And in the silence, they might...

One of my responses in a recent interview I did...
“The absence of a voice and lyrics, allows for the listener to focus on the raw sound of music; the most important aspect of any track. There’s a common misconception amongst a lot of people that the vocalist makes a track, when really it is the exact opposite. Remove all the singers from your favorite bands and tracks, then you’ll see where the real talent lies. This is not to...

Conformity Loop by: Michael Merein
Here are the lyrics of one of the tracks on my upcoming album “The Transition from Cold to Frost”
The wheel of time repeats itself,
It turns you into someone else.
You’ll fight a war you’ll never win,
You’ll make the same mistakes again.
And now you finally see so many reasons,
behind the great confusion.
You know the voices of the dead,
Are really voices in your...
