Sunny skies don’t hide my sorrow today I’ll be fine if I Go to sleep and don’t dream of the pain I feel inside All the time if I fake it I’ll lose my mind I don’t know if I Will make it alive I’ll just shut my eyes Pretend it’s a lie
2.
I can’t remember the last six hours that we spent together Oh, it kills my soul to always know you were all alone and needed me I take for granted the time we spent together is cemented in my thoughts forever And somehow I try to always remember that Everything Happens For A Reason Now Everything Happens For A Reason Sometimes it gets so hard to, cope with your loss it really drags me down. To a place of darkness, lost in the lonely outskirts of this dead old town. But I keep my head up, thinking of someone who brings me pure old joy. It only lasts but a second, and somehow I try to always remember that. Everything Happens For A Reason Now Everything Happens For A Reason The reasons often cloak themselves In the feelings we keep to ourselves inside our slumbers The outcome may be obvious But the Reasons not clear to us no, no, no, no, no
3.
I drove away Just before your bus departed With a man you loved Or maybe you still do All in time In time for the rest of my life I feel so tired Alright I guess I'll stay the night Want to hold you But life is a natural poison Someone told me How you've been letting the boys in A golden tress Clings to your organdy dress I feel so tired Alright I guess I'll stay tonight All in time You're only in town for the night We got so high Alright I guess I'll stay a while Want to hold you But life is a natural poison Someone told me How you've been letting the boys in

And Again 04:03
Come on come on can I take you places that you want to go. It’s not fair living without you always feeling so low. If I could go back you know I would save you everyday. Now I’m lost writing a song, coping with the pain. Take me away from this darkness I’m in Keep me safe bring me to you again Take me away from this darkness I’m in Keep safe bring me to you again And again, and again Come on people keep on dreamin' Fathers, mothers keep believin' Brothers, sisters keep on dreamin' Come on people keep believin'
5.
I’m often sad and lonely Now I understand the pain that was Growing in you day and night And if I would have opened my eyes Then I would have seen the struggle and All the lies you kept inside your head Why did you have to leave Now I’m just left to grieve I could have helped you heal Now heartache is all I feel The one thing I try to remember is Nothing could have been done to save you But really that’s a lie I tell myself I’ll calm down for a while and smile Use some substance to gain some strength but I’ll Never be the same as I was before And if I would have opened my eyes Then I would have seen the struggle and All the lies you kept inside your head Why did you have to leave Now I’m just left to grieve I could have helped you heal Now heartache is all I feel

Well Lyra is the harp that Orpheus played and He played it so perfect he made everyone cry And I wonder going under if what I see Will ignite me or destroy me or set me free But it was Just another dream Then I came to at the fountain you were swimming there I came closer but you drifted into the air Then I fell to the bottom of an endless pit Then a serpent came and grabbed me and it made me twitch It was Just another dream I’ll go far

Run 05:25
Where is it you'll run when you Cannot hide in plain sight? What is you see when you Cannot see further than between your own two eyes? Why is it we get so high Just to come back down? Why is it the things we want never fill us up Even though we think they ought to? Run when you gonna run When you gonna start to stop to hide Seek what you gonna seek When you gonna start to live your life Sun never ending sun Never ending light and dark entwined Breathe when you gonna breathe When you gonna Run when you gonna run Drunker than a dream I lean towards The lines that speak backwards Parametric gleams in lieu of the lightless forms I wonder what they're really after Cut me like a blade of grass I will surely grow again Burn me like a greenhouse gas you will go real fast But you'll live with the byproducts Run when you gonna run When you gonna start to stop to hide Seek what you gonna seek When you gonna start to live your life Sun never ending sun Never ending light and dark entwined Breathe when you gonna breathe When you gonna Run when you gonna run At last the sun will rise again At last I'll go to work again At last the tides will come again At last I'll make it home again At last the tides will go again At last I'll be at peace again At last the sun will rise again

If I told you a lie could I sit for a while Memorize the lines on your face and your smile Get lost in the space between desire and hate Maybe than I’d survive by living in my demise Ise ise ise Wah ah oh oh After getting to know ideas that make us insane Making plans to de construct the parts of our brains People lie and tell you that they’re doing okay But if I told you the truth you’d wonder why I’m alive Ive ive ive Wah ah oh oh La la la la Good times good times good times good times Well good things take some time La la la la Good times good times good times good times good times good times

1-800-HAUNTME A ghost don’t seem much company I’m tired enough of living But I don’t wanna die I heard you’ve been busy bedding strangers on a whim You’d sink into my skin again another poison pin 1-800-HAUNTME Call now and it’s toll free Look me up and bill me But I don’t wanna die I heard you’ve been busy bedding strangers on a whim You’d sink into my skin again another poison pin

Trees Die 04:09
Maybe if I stay in bed all day All of my mistakes will go away Lying to myself to keep sane Locked inside a room where it always rains I feel trapped inside my mind sometimes Knowing that you’re never coming back It kills the part of me I thought would Always have you until the end Look around and know that life flows on Although it feels so strange there’s nothing wrong Still it’s hard to grasp when you close your eyes Just remember trees die and so do I I feel trapped inside my mind sometimes Knowing that you’re never coming back It kills the part of me I thought would Always have you until the end You delay, you delay, you delay
12.
Wander round the porch with me Stay and we’ll go back to sleep Wander round the porch with me Stay and we’ll go back to sleep I’m scared of nowhere if you’re not there with me She sits and wonders where all the time goes. I just get reminded of the past we once knew And it always makes me lonely cause it brings me back to you Don’t hesitate to wait I’ll float away in space Don’t hesitate to wait I’ll float away in space She sits in sunspots where hypnotic melodies sing I stare into the cats eye that lures me into you She sits in sunspots where hypnotic melodies sing I stare into the cats eye that lures me into you You, you, you,you,you,you,you,you Don’t take so long to find It’s all just in your mind Time waits for no one So why would I wait for you I'll wake up In sunspots I'll wait for what? I'll wait for some great cosmic essence to come Pick me up from where I'm standing Undermine my understanding Making peace with world's I'll never know

about

In Living Memory is Honeybabe's second LP and first proper studio album set to be released on May 10th 2019. It was recorded over the span of 2 years at Tempermill Studios onto 2" tape in Ferndale, MI by Erik Maluchnik and Drew Bartosik at Reverse Release Studios. Produced by Erik Maluchnik and Honeybabe.

The record is permeated with the tragedy of losing a loved one and coping with the aftermath of that reality. Interwoven throughout this main theme are the search for meaning and the struggle with love and depression which are counterbalanced by a lighthearded nature of psychedelic playfulness and humor that portrays the bands general character in absence of the heavier aspects of life.

Honeybabe was able to channel feelings through these songs that might have been destructive if left unexpressed. In this way the music became therapy and a positive antidote to the darkness that encircles us even in our most joyful and carefree moments. The band would hope that listeners will be able to relate to the themes being expressed, find peace and meaning in the face of tragic and negative forces and most of all enjoy the music!
