Backstory:

Phony Pool is the brainchild of childhood friends, Max Willis and Greg LaRoche, who grew up together in the heart of Austin, Texas. Sharing a mutual love for music, they started their journey by playing at local bars and small gigs around the city. Willis on vocals and guitar, and LaRoche on drums, they used their love for music as an escape from the mundanity of everyday life. In 2016, they added bassist Sarah Peterson to their lineup after meeting at a music festival, and Phony Pool was officially formed. Their infectious energy, raw talent, and a unique blend of sounds catapulted them into the limelight, garnering a significant following in the indie music scene.

Indie Rock with elements of Punk and Alternative Rock.

Title:

“Broken Mirrors”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1) [Am, G, F, G]
In the shadows of the night, we find the light, [Am, G]
In the fragments of the broken mirrors on the floor. [F, G]
Lost in the echoes of our unspoken words, [Am, G]
We dance around the truth we can’t ignore. [F, G]

(Chorus) [C, G, Am, F]
We’re just broken mirrors, [C, G]
Reflecting the past, we can’t get nearer, [Am, F]
To the dreams that were meant to last. [C, G]

(Verse 2)
In the silence of the crowded room, [Am, G]
Our secrets whisper through the afternoon. [F, G]
Every glance is a memory, [Am, G]
In the broken mirrors, we can’t see. [F, G]

(Chorus)
We’re just broken mirrors, [C, G]
Reflecting the past, we can’t get nearer, [Am, F]
To the dreams that were meant to last. [C, G]

(Outro)
In the fragments of the past, [Am, G]
We find the truth at last, [F, G]
In the broken mirrors on the floor. [Am, G, F, G]
