Zack Whyte (or Zach Whyte) was an American jazz bandleader, best known for leading the territory band the Chocolate Beau Brummels.
Whyte studied at Wilberforce University, where he played banjo with Horace Henderson and arranged pieces for him. He led his own Cincinnati-based bands from the early 1920s, and put together the Chocolate Beau Brummels late in the decade. This ensemble recorded for Gennett, Supertone, and Champion in 1929, amounting to about ten tunes. Some of the recordings were released under the names "Eddie Walker & His Band" and "Smoke Jackson & His Red Onions". Among those who played in Whyte's bands were Herman Chittison, Jerry Blake, Truck Parham, Sy Oliver, Roy Eldridge, Vic Dickenson, and Al Sears.
Whyte's entire discography was reissued to CD on a Jazz Oracle compilation, Richmond Rarities 1927-31.

We Are Not
by: PsychogodYour eyes, vision of nightmare - in pain with yur
mistakes
Your sky full of silence
Your tears on the floor - shallow dreams of emptyness
Your life left behind
[Chorus:]
We're not who we are
You should see that far
We're not what we say
You should stay far away
We're not who we are
We're not what we say
My name across the mirror - there's still blood there
My shadow on the ceiling
My fate was never yours - swallow your beliefs
My eyes cold as hell
[Chorus]
There's nothing left there - you should be gone
Only dust awaits
There's the yellow mark - across the crime scene
No corpse left to find
