Dark Day 02:19
And the colors of the sky wane blue And we’ll make it if we never go And the tidal waves are making me sick And the mystery remains Why is everything so slow?

Fallout 03:41
Grey morning Aftermath is falling from my eyes no warning I’m shell-shocked from the chaos of last night I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before You saw a side of me I only save for war I’m on the floor… In the Fallout, Fallout Fallout, Fallout We both lit the fuse How will we make it through the Fallout, Fallout Oooh… Grey morning my face is wet my mouth is dry words forming to apologize but then I’ll lose the fight I saw a side of you I’ve never seen before You saw a side of me I only save for war I’m on the floor… In the Fallout, Fallout Fallout, Fallout We both lit the fuse How will we make it through the Fallout, Fallout Oooh… your face is covered in ashes and dust, the air is colder in the space between us Is this armageddon, is this how it ends? In the Fallout, Fallout (4x) Oooh…

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 CHORUS: 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 CHORUS BRIDGE: Dead leaves and no branches Your smoke signal dances Once I believed, but you cannot fool me anymore CHORUS

Coffee tastes the same every day My simple things that I repeat I don’t think I’ve missed a thing No emptiness, no hollow needs Then I think of you There is a depth I’ve never reached A pulse I’ve never felt There is a death waiting to breathe There you are in my mind With your father’s eyes There you are in my mind The first time you smile There you are in my mind There you are in my mind Take you all the places I love Desert in May, June on the coast Hold your head when you get sick Sing the same songs over and over The first time that your heart breaks I’ll sit with you, no need to speak But there I go again Slipping away to who you could be There you are in my mind With your father’s eyes There you are in my mind The first night you get high There you are in my mind There you are in my mind You push a muscle in my heart I’ve never used before Just when I don’t think There is room for any more There you are in my mind With your father’s eyes There you are in my mind The only you I will find There you are in my mind There you are in my mind There you are There you are There you are

Nowhere 04:10
I learned to speak to say your name I learned to see if you felt the same I learned to hold just to hold on Learned it better when you were gone You will never have nowhere to run You will never have nowhere to turn You are all I know You will never have nowhere to go I’ll carve my life to fit in yours I’ll kill the dreams that came before throw my soul into the flame just to bring you home again You will never have nowhere to run You will never have nowhere to turn You are all I know You will never have nowhere to go Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere… Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere… You will never have nowhere to run You will never have nowhere to turn You are all I know You will never have nowhere to go

Hey you in the mirror I hate that I hate you Your eyes full of anger Skin so thin you see right through I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes Warpaint to hide what I can’t control Words be my army, smile be my sword Tonight you can’t harm me, tonight this is war Tonight this means war, oh… (2x) Tonight this means war Hey you in the mirror I tried to be your friend Your voice keeps getting meaner How long can I pretend? I put on my makeup and my bulletproof clothes Warpaint to hide what I can’t control Words be my army, smile be my sword Tonight you can’t harm me, tonight this is war Tonight this means war, oh… (2x) Tonight this means war I’ll face you now I’ll face you down I’m stronger than before You can’t hurt me anymore Tonight this means war, oh… (2x) Tonight this means war

It took me in the blink of an eye My body empty, my soul undersigned I’m captive, I watch them confess To the devil in his Sunday best I can’t stop him, I don’t stand a chance I’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance We’re divided, maybe we can stand Maybe we can… Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x) Slow the devil…. Every morning, feel you when I wake Wash myself of your sins and shame I can hear your hollow pointed lies I can see it bloody in your eyes We can’t stop him, we don’t stand a chance We’ll fall victim, dance his wicked dance We’re divided, maybe we can stand Maybe we can…. Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x) Slow the devil…. Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x) Slow the devil…. Hell is empty, the devils run free The wicked in you knows the wicked in me I dance, you dangle the strings But I’ll be damned if I give you everything Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x) Slow the devil…. Slow the devil, slow the devil down (3x) Slow the devil….

I’m drawn into the darkness Like a moth into the flame All the demons know me They call me by my name I know that I’ve been hiding I feel like I’m alone Choosing to be blind to things I can’t control, but don’t go…. Look into the stars Look into the stars We only have the day if we give into the night It’s who we are Look into the stars I can’t pretend to understand The things that make you break I’ll try my best to stop myself From calling your mistakes I know that you are hiding You feel like you’re alone Choosing to be blind To things you can’t control, But don’t go Look into the stars Look into the stars We only have the day if we give into the night It’s who we are Look into the stars Throw yourself into the old light Throw yourself into the old light it’s not just about the sunrise There is beauty in the dark times Look into the stars Look into the stars We only have the day if we give into the night It’s who we are Look into the stars

There once was a man who’d sell you a dream he’d spin you a story from silken strings weaving visions you’ve never seen one silver dollar would buy you a dream Oooh… His loom wove patterns of lives intertwined stories to move your heart and your mind adventures that wander through faraway lands inventions that alter the lives of man Dreams dreams for sale, dreams for sale…” One winter the shop took a turn for the worse people doubted his dreams, questioned their worth fewer customers came through his doors no-one remembers what dreaming is for He closed up his shop and grew cold in the streets begging for scraps and peddling dreams His beautiful stories threadbare and thin No-one could spare a penny for him (instrumental) His body grew weak, his mind grew frail unraveling sanity starting to fail and from his lips, cracked and pale repeated the words “Dreams for sale…” He held in his hands his very last thread He knew that this spot was his finishing bed then what he saw he could hardly believe a little boy sitting and sewing a dream Singing “ Dreams dreams for sale, dreams for sale…”

Bit By Bit 03:17
You want to know right now But you’re a pool of doubts Running down some empty road Thinking time is running out Take a deep breath, baby Take it all in Take the first step and begin Don't you rush it The heart knows where to go Bit by bit Just get quiet And you will hear your soul Bit by bit, bit by bit You try to outrun fate You’ve come a long way You’ve got so long left to go You wonder how much you can take So you take a deep breath, baby Take it all in Take the first step and begin Don't you rush it The heart knows where to go Bit by bit Just get quiet And you will hear your soul Bit by bit, bit by bit It takes a lot of days to make a life Every day has so little black and white It takes a lot of steps to make a life Every step takes you through your night Don't you rush it The heart knows where to go Bit by bit Just get quiet And you will hear your soul Bit by bit, bit by bit

The stars are so close, They are just out of reach All that I need Is a flying machine I’m building a contraption To fly me to my dreams Everyone is laughin’ Well, they can laugh at me Cuz I’m too old to be a dreamer, too young to die in bed I don’t listen to the cynics, listen to my soul instead If I never learn the secret to this flying machine Just watch… one day I’ll grow wings I work every day On my flying machine But work isn’t work When you’re workin’ for a dream You can call me crazy Maybe I’ve lost my mind Sometimes I’m afraid That I’m just wastin’ time Bridge: Will you join me for the ride Holding hands and starry-eyed If we never leave the ground Broken wings won’t bring us down At least we can say We had fun along the way CHORUS

about

Robyn Cage’s powerhouse vocals and impassioned live performances have enthralled audiences nationwide, from Boston’s Symphony Hall, to thousands at outdoor festivals, to the prestigious and intimate singer-songwriter circuit in NYC. Born in the Utah desert, she went on to study at The Boston Conservatory and become an accomplished actress in NYC, where her performances earned praise from The New York Times and Variety. When Robyn came to a crucial turning point in her life, she migrated back to her desert birthplace and was creatively and soulfully reawakened as an alternative-pop artist with an entrancing and authentic artistic sensibility. Her debut album Born in the Desert (2015) was named one of the 35 Top Albums of 2015 by I’m Music Magazine and topped the list of 25 Best New Music Critiques of 2015 by Music Connection Magazine. Currently, Cage is touring with The Airplane Family (alumni of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna, and The Grateful Dead) singing the Grace Slick repertoire.

Slow The Devil is a call for Unity & Connection, through not only loving what makes you different, but loving what makes others different as well. ‘Unity’ doesn’t mean we should all be the same. Unity is about celebrating diversity! Each of us is a unique blend of biological inheritance and personal experience, yet as my friend said, “At the heart of everything, we are more alike than we are different.”
