[Verse 1] I woke up and smelled the rain The droplets that fell to the back of my tongue Swelled my tastebuds with thoughts of your name Is this love a drug or a game? You must’ve slipped it in my drink while I was looking away And now it burns trying to somehow force it down And when the feelings come back up I have to knock them out [Chorus] When the clouds roll in, I hope the colors are bold And then the thunder screams invisible Like how I feel, but you can’t see the cold If I would combust in flames, I’d look like I was dripping in gold I want to leave dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold Words are the visual infinity in your head But they seem too shrinkable so I want to leave dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold Dripping gold [Verse 2] Am I still enough even when I’m insane? You’re drinking goblets of fire Our song has already been sung But I’m telling you that I’m not okay I’ll just sweep it under the rug and find another way I’m forced to wake up another day so I’ll be around I feel too much so life knocks me out just because And I don’t know how, I don’t know how, but [Chorus] When the clouds roll in, I hope the colors are bold And then the thunder screams invisible Like how I feel, but you can’t see the cold If I would combust in flames, I’d look like I was dripping in gold I want to leave dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold Words are the visual infinity in your head But they seem too shrinkable so I want to leave dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold Dripping gold [Bridge] Tequila amber eyes, but they rain champagne tonight I took the roses white and red wines [Chorus] I want to leave dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold Dripping gold Words are the visual infinity in your head But they seem too shrinkable so If I would combust in flames, I’d look like I was dripping in gold I want to leave dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold Dripping, dripping, dripping in gold

Queendom of Contentment

By Erika Poling


How I created the song/lyrics: The first verse starts out lower and works it's way up to a soprano C or higher (one-sided). The pre-chorus is higher pitched also. But then, the chorus switches to a melody similar to "Heavy Cross," by the band Gossip. The second verse is similar in pitch (high) to the second part of the first verse; but the second part of the second verse (starting with "Oh, my violet sky") is a lower pitch like the first part of the first verse. I think incorporating a "Billie Eilish" whisper style with a lower, stronger, and harder style-- it would really bring out the meaning of the song and make it more artistic.

High on Past Lives

By Erika Poling


I wrote this after attending past-life regression therapy. I have a scientific and artistic mind so I discovered a psychological alternative in combination with my current psychiatrist's perspective. I wanted an answer a little more thorough and artistic than science; and I found the answers to the questions asked by the creative aspects of my personality.

Cool Mountain Air

By Brian Hendrix


I was driving up the mountain to visit my brother and I remarked to my mother who was driving that the air must have dropped about 20 degrees halfway up. It was very chilly, and I guess this song sorta floated in on the wind, as the entire time at my brother's house I was looking to write this chorus down before I forgot it. The rest of the song built around that, and I'm really thrilled about the final result and how this came out in the end. This is a situation a lot of rural/southern people go through. People close to us don't feel stuck to the land; they feel drawn to the big city. We often wish they'd come on home, where they belong.
