Got no color in my cheeks I can't smile more than half-heartedly I gotta filter the truth, keep it from you Until I believe it too I'll flash that counterfeit grin Beware the light you see me in Make sure you get my good side Is that really what I look like? When you cross my camera eye I, I take a snapshot in my mind So when I step into the frame I’m imitating, shifting shapes I know the perfect pose Break my back just for the show Watch me pretty-up my flaws You’ll see them when the lights are off And when I feel so ugly The camera loves me, honey I never looked better Make sure you get my good side

Borders 02:27
Don't cast your pennies In the cup that I drink from The bitter taste of money Spoils my freedom And while you argue over The new authority And tell me who’s your god today, It makes no nevermind to me Go ahead and draw your lines But you're surrounded on all sides You build a barricade Around your property And keep your fortune Under lock and key You step back From those who oppose ya And soon enough you’ll find That’s why you stand alone, but I’ll dance around this cruel earth Like it’s all neutral turf, yeah Go ahead and wave your flag But mine is painted black Every time you draw your lines You’re on the wrong side

Apostrophe 02:42
I wish I was more— What’s the term for it? Articulate, you know, Good with words and shit But I’m peddling cheap diction And the words burn when I spit ‘em I’m singing to the masses You’re preaching to the birds My voice is radio static They hang on your every word Because you make them count And I patter and stutter and stammer and mutter Til “mothers” and “fuckers” eventually slip out They’re just bound to Ooh baby, say that line, That silent kind again Give me those eyes, They’re words to live by, yeah Oh you’re a whisper in a crowded room but Those who care to listen won’t mind the volume Tell me something good

I can get, I can get Out of bed if I want to But I just haven’t made Up my mind if I do Just one step, just one step Whichever direction Or I can dream, where I’d be If I wanted to move And they say Some people have real problems Make me feel bad if I got one Think I’ll stay in all day Wait for something to happen Go online, start a fight And change nobody’s mind Think I might drive all night, Throw my phone in a canyon (ooo hoo!) And I’ll watch it hit the rocks Just before I run to get a new one I think I’m part of the problem I think I’m part of the problem I can get, I can get out of bed If I want to I can get, I can get out of bed I can get out of bed, out of bed I don’t want to I can get out of bed, out of bed I don’t want to

Calculated Improvised He was licking his lips, His tail was swatting flies And I stepped one toe across the midnight line, Across the midnight line I’ll drink the potion I’m in decline He’s got a comfy pocket In just my size And I stepped one toe across the midnight line, Across the midnight line I know I shouldn’t do it I do it anyway I let him in my head And I know he can stay as long as he’d like I stepped one toe across the midnight line, Across the midnight line

about

In late 2019, Patty PerShayla & The Mayhaps pulled up to the Michigan music scene in a vintage van, well stocked with songs and stories (but not seatbelts). Coming off her solo EP, Oracle Bones (winner of the WYCE Jammie Award for Best Rock/Pop Album of 2019), Patty brings the same sweet but powerful voice and whimsical lyricism bar, club, and brewery-goers throughout the state and beyond have come to know and love, cranked up to 11 with guitarist Lucas Powell and drummer Alec Klinefelter. Showing yet another side of her artistic versatility, Patty dons the bass guitar in this genre-bending power trio, boasting an eclectic and authentic sound with a strutting, stomping, crooning good time onstage.

Good with Words 'n' Sh't, the trio's debut EP, is fueled with social commentary and ignited by riff-driven expression, covering topics like dysphoria, social media, and isolation—without pulling any punches. Inspired by blues, classic, and progressive rock, this nostalgic introduction to the Mayhaps was recorded to analog tape and will be followed up with a full-length record, to be pressed to vinyl in 2021.

about

Patty PerShayla Nashville, Tennessee

Despite being a three-piece band, The Mayhaps have developed a larger-than-life sound with soaring guitar solos and compelling vocal moments, featuring a spectacle of a five-foot-two (-and-three-quarters) woman, hooting and strutting across the stage, gracefully wielding a bass guitar almost the size of her wingspan. ... more
