[Verse]
Jumpin' on the dance floor; 
Livin' life so free 
Everyone's movin' 
to the beat 
From dusk 'til dawn 
We're gonna party all night 
Sippin' on cocktails 
Living the good life 

[Chorus]
Under neon lights 
Our ocean crown, 
No one can stop us now 
We're standin' proud 
We're the kings and queens 
Of this paradise town 
Watch us take over 
We're gonna tear it down 
This paradise town 

[Verse 2]
All the young and restless 
Livin' moment to moment 
Doin' what we want 
No need for an opponent 
The clock is ticklin' 
Our hearts are sizzlin' 
My hands are shakin' 
Our bodies are dancin' 

[Chorus]
Under neon lights 
Our ocean crown, 
No one can stop us now 
We're standin' proud 
We're the kings and queens 
Of this paradise town 
Watch us take over 
We're gonna tear it down 
This paradise town 

Paradise Town

[Mashup of "Enemy - Imagine Dragons" and "Clipped Wings - ]

[Verse 1]
I wake up to the sounds 
of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, 
with my ear upon the ground
I'm searching to behold 
the beauty promised and one day told
But when my back is to the world 
that was smiling darkly when I turned

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you you're the greatest
And once you turn, they hate us

[Chorus]
Oh, the misery
Everybody seems to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody seems to be
my enemy-y-y-y-y 
(Look, look, look, look!)
(Look out for yourself!)
My enemy-y-y-y-y 
(Look, look, look, look; you fools!)
(I look out for myself!)

[Bridge]
Oh, but my dear; I'm REA—DY!

[Verse 2]
Words across thе walls
Praying for my fall
And the laughter in thе halls 
and the names that I've been called
I stack it in my mind, 
I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like 
to be split up the pike!

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you you're the greatest
(Ha! Well, I goddamned well am! She's MINE!)

[Chorus]
Oh, the misery
Everybody seems to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody seems to be
my enemy-y-y-y-y 
(Look, look, look, look!)
(Look out for yourself!)
My enemy-y-y-y-y 
(Look, look, look, look; you fools!)
(I look out for myself!)

[Bridge]
They say pray 
Just pray it away
I shake and I think 
about the powers at play,

And the kids in the dark 
doomed from the start
Oh, what a statement:
That love is embracement

He cannot be, 
she cannot be, 
they are not permitted!

But while you keep praying,
They'll be outwitted
Even if I'm caught,
I'll be acquitted 

I will succeed
Because I'm committed 

[Outro]
Pray it away..? I swear I'll never be a saint
[Madelyn] My enemy!
(Unhinged! Illhumored! Chuckling?)
Pray it away..? Pray to WHO!?? Your mythical, magical, invisible DADDY IN THE DAMN SKY!?

Look out for yourself!

Dreams we could make

Where do I Begin (Single).mp3

*Lyrics:*

Ah whispered softly,
But the words were thin.
My declare of devotion
Just an echo on the wind 

Ah ne'er saw the signs 
Words left unspoken.
Ah cried on quiet nights 
For our love, now broken!

Lost in the silence!
Echoes o' regret.
Ya cannae hear muh heart 
An' now he's all ya get.

Ya dinnae feel it;
Dinnae feel my heart.
Silence broke me;
An' tore us apart!

Ah called out in th' dark 
Muh love was clear
Ya had muh love
Yet ya showed no fear!

Ya turned a blind eye 
Empty looks passin' by 
Promises were thin, an'—
(*deep heartfelt sigh*)
Auch, where do Ah begin..?

Cold nights alone 
Empty throne 
Ya lost yer chance 
'Cause yer loyalty's ne'er shown!

Lost in the silence!
Echoes o' regret.
Ya cannae hear muh heart 
An' now he's all ya get.

Ya dinnae feel me;
Dinnae feel my heart.
Silence broke me;
An' tore us apart!

If you only knew
What I needed too
All that's left to say
It's too late today

Now I'm left here
In the shadows
Heart so hollow
Feel so shallow
But then...
There was Him.

Where do I Begin

A haunting song from the YouTube episodic show, Tales of Atonement: Samhain.

Lost Tales

*Lyrics:*

Voices rise, but I stand alone,
The world around me is nothing but stone.
Reflections dance, but none are real,
Only I exist, only I feel.
In the vast, empty void, I claim my throne,
For no truth exists but my own.

I look to the heavens, but they don't stare back,
A universe fading, an empty track.
What is the point if I’m all that’s true?
I am the beginning, and I am the end too.

In the darkness, I am the light,
In the void, I am what's right.
No souls to save, no gods above,
Just my reflection, the only love.
A world that spins around my mind,
No purpose, no path, nothing to find.

The stars have died, their light’s a lie,
Nihilistic whispers fill the sky.
I hold the universe in my hand,
But it crumbles like shifting sand.
What is worth when I am the whole?
What’s salvation when there’s no soul?

I look to the heavens, but they don't stare back,
A universe fading, an empty track.
What is the point if I’m all that’s true?
I am the beginning, and I am the end too.

In the darkness, I am the light,
In the void, I am what's right.
No souls to save, no gods above,
Just my reflection, the only love.
A world that spins around my mind,
No purpose, no path, nothing to find.

There’s nothing beyond, no one to see,
I am all that will ever be.
The world collapses into me,
A hollow king, no destiny.
In the mirror, I find my throne,
In the end, I’m still alone.

In the darkness, I am the light,
In the void, I am what's right.
No souls to save, no gods above,
Just my reflection, the only love.
A world that spins around my mind,
No purpose, no path, nothing to find.

In the void, I reign supreme,
But in the silence, I hear the scream.
Of a world I lost, or never knew,
But does it matter if it’s not true?
