Castaway

It’s hard to say if it’s gonna last a day
We have to wait for it to pass away
Are we to cry and pray
Rather than lie abate
Until we die
Fall in denial

Castaway in a world made of glass
Passed away i might finally laugh
While it might last
What we might grasp

I have to say thought it to be gone away
We’ll have to face this based on a day to day
Are we to cry and pray
Rather than lie abate
Until we die
Fall in denial

Castaway

Bleeding the sky

l fight to time all that is truth captured in the dark breathing the darkness of every dream which is bleeding the silence of death in a stream

That is why I want you to look into my eyes all of this could not be true bleeding the sky

In this flows everything that has fallen from our eyes by these gore obscenities we are hypnotized

It has taken from life all that is youth feeding on my blood creating nightmarish imagery is leading my life to the void of a dream (so)

That is why l want you to look into your eyes all of this could be true within your eyes

Always

I’ve come to realise, that it’s not about who’s telling the truth
and I must emphasize, I’m not about to tell you the what when nor the who
and I must have changed my mind so many times, I’m never quite sure what to do
and I must apologize for what I’m about to tell all of you…

It’s you and I against the world
I’ll do anything to make it work
It’s you and I against the whole god damned world
together until the end
I’ll do anything to make amends
It’s you and I against the whole god damned world

whatever’s in the end, I’ll wait always for you
Together until the end, I’ll wait always for you

always

Always

The edge of the world

WeIl it is the longest ride I have ever run and it feels at times just like a gun held to my head until my temples bled, I try to get away at night it is ever dark but still I am haunted by the thoughts, by the thoughts of us

Pushing off the edge of the world spin me around until my head starts to swirl 
I have gone so far I could never look back but still I am going so fast maybe I won't last
Please help me comfort me put me to sleep, Pushing off the edge of the world

Well it is the longest time I have ever gone feeling that my mind has blown nothing left to be shown and still I get the urge of trying to be reaching god though I know there is not one it is even more than sun

Pushing off the edge of the world spin me around until my head starts to swirl 
I have gone so far I could never look back but still I am going so fast maybe I won't last

Please help me comfort me put me to sleep, Pushing off the edge of the world

The Edge Of The World

Prod. by Couni. Lyrics by me and Couni.

Lyrics:
The locals warned, “Stay clear of the dungeon, no one returns from that haunted place”
But me and Couni we don’t hear their calls 
We’ve conquered levels standing tall
First was the forest with enchanted trees
Music was the key in the calming the breeze
Then came the echoes where danger would creep
But we handled it well through the shadows deep
Now there's level three where the goblins hide
Where bats circle and beasts by their side 
But with my sword and Couni's flute in play 
No darkness can stop us we light the way
We step through the fog the mist is thick
Each dark corridor every shadow is slick
My blade gleams bright with each move so true
One swing two swings I'm cutting right through
Bats in the air wings cut the night
Their screeches loud but they don’t dare fight
The beasts in the dark we make them bleed
But they sense our power they fall to their knees
Couni plays the flute casting spells in tune
The staff in his hand magic of the moon
Giants watch but they don’t dare make a move
They know what’s coming no need to prove
The path is twisting but we don’t lose track
We’ve come too far no turning back
I'm swinging combos I'm leaving no doubt
Anyone steps up I'm taking them out
Wolves in the dark their growls in the air
But they keep their distance they don’t dare
We march on steady the shadows retreat
This is our level no chance of defeat
With every step forward the beasts turn away
We’ve conquered before and we’ll slay today
Couni's flute and my sword we’re a duo unmatched
Challenge us you’ll find your fate attached
So let the force feel the rhythm let the giants watch
We’ll pass through the shadows without a scratch

Level four is ahead and we’re on our way
Just another adventure no need for delay
Level three is for the taking don’t get in the way
Level four is ahead and we’re on our way
Just another adventure no need for delay
Level three is for the taking don’t get in the way

*"The Symphony of Kai"*

In the heart of a bustling city lived a young man named Kai. From an early age, Kai’s mind was like a kaleidoscope, full of vibrant coluors and constantly shifting patterns. He had ADHD—a label he wore not as a burden, but as a badge of honour. 

Kai's days were a whirlwind of activity. He would start his mornings with a burst of creativity, sketching, painting, or writing poetry. His friends admired his boundless energy and imaginative spirit, but there were times when they couldn’t keep up with his rapid-fire thoughts and endless ideas. Some people saw his ADHD as a challenge, but Kai saw it as a unique gift.

One evening, as Kai walked through the neon-lit streets, he heard an ethereal melody drifting from a nearby club. Entranced, he followed the sound and discovered a trance DJ named Zephyr. The music spoke to Kai’s soul, resonating with the frenetic rhythm of his own mind. He introduced himself to Zephyr and shared his own experiences with ADHD, expressing how the music seemed to mirror the beautiful chaos inside his head.

Impressed by Kai’s passion, Zephyr invited him to collaborate on a new track. Kai’s ADHD, which made it hard for him to focus on mundane tasks, became his superpower in the world of music. His mind was a wellspring of inspiration, effortlessly blending beats, melodies, and harmonies in ways others couldn’t even imagine.

Together, they created a track called “ADHD”—an ethereal, melodic trance tune that captured the essence of Kai’s vibrant mind. It was a symphony of highs and lows, of moments of clarity and bursts of brilliance. When they premiered the track at a local festival, the crowd was spellbound. People came up to Kai, thanking him for turning his perceived challenge into a source of inspiration.

Kai’s story spread, reaching others with ADHD who had felt misunderstood and marginalized. He showed them that their unique minds were a source of power and creativity. Kai continued to create music, each track a testament to the beauty and potential of a neurodiverse world.

Kai is Robert Phoenix...

ADHD

lyrics
can’t believe it’s gone wrong 
i’ve been awake for too long 
but i can’t get any rest 
your angel carved a hole in my chest 
your angel came he tried to save me 
he tried to get back what you gave me 
i didn’t notice when you slipped through my hands 
i watch your face melt away like sand 
i wish i could’ve helped, but i let you down 
i just want you to keep me around 

sometimes i look back on my songs and don’t know how to write new ones 
sometimes she has red eyes sometimes she has blue ones 
sometimes she has green ones 
i was stuck in a dream once 
i was trying to wake up 
why would i want to break up? 
tell me if its ending 
don’t even try pretending 
at the end of the day, what can be said now  
got nothing to say, just got my head down 
i just want you keep me around 
i just want you to keep me around 

she says i would’ve done it by now if i wanted to 
i get that feeling you get when someone never wanted you 
watch the whites of her eyes turn blue 
and live my whole life with my head down 

i want you to keep me around 
keep me around

keep me around

your so tired
