NATE SMITH (DELUXE)

World on Fire

[ L y r i c s ]

I've been told.
Only love can hurt like this.
But is it true?
Because when I look into your eyes, you have my heart
Whenever you are near, I feel that spark.
 
When I dream, it involves you.
I can't stop because I want you.
Everything I say and do.
It all revolves around you.
 
So, what do I do when it all starts hurting?
What do I do when it gets to my head?
How do I stop being broken into pieces?
When will all the memories cut straight to my head?
 
What do I do when I cry to sleep and
How do I know if it's all too much?
What can I do to make all these tears dry?
Or will it never stop?
 
I've been told.
Only love will hurt like this.
I think it's true.
I can't look into your eyes without mine.
Start to break down; it's just not right.
 
When I'm awake, I think about you.
I can't stop because I need you.
Everything I say and do.
It all comes back to you.
 
So, what do I do when it all starts hurting?
What will I do when it gets in my head?
When will I stop being broken into pieces?
Will all these memories get out of my head?
 
What do I do when I cry to sleep and
Now I know it was all too much.
I just want to make all these tears dry.
I just want it to stop.


Now I'm broken into pieces.
Thinking about you.
I wish you were next to me.
That's how it's supposed to be. Oh.
 
Now I'm falling apart and 
There's nothing I can do.
But I'll try to hold on to the dreams of me and you.
Even though it´ll never be true.
(Even though it´ll never be true.)

You're my relief whenever I'm hurting.
You're the one, always in my head.
And I'm not broken when I have you.
All these memories are stuck in my head.

Pieces

[ L y r i c s ]

You promised me the stars, said I was your world
You went for someone new, thought I was your girl
Fake promises and lies, you led me on
But now I’m standing tall, I'm already gone

I see the truth, I'm not a fool,
God sent you here to destroy me, but I'll break his rule
What you don't know is I always rise from the dust
Now I’m stronger than ever, built on trust in me, not lust

You thought you had me, but you never knew
I’m the fire you can’t put out, no matter what you do
You can’t destroy me,  I won’t break, won’t fall
Taking back my life, I’m standing tall

'Cause karma’s coming, and it’s coming for you
For all the lies, all the shit you put me through
All your hoes, your games, your shame, it’s done
I’m better without you, I've already won
You messed up, but I’m rising high
Watch me soar while you wonder why
Karma’s coming, karma’s here
You’ll regret it all, while I steer clear

I used to wonder what went wrong, where I went blind
I got taught a lesson, Now I’m taking back my mind
You thought you could break me, thought I’d fall apart
But I’ve built a throne from the ashes of my heart
Rising up, no fear, no turning back
Your lies can’t touch me, I’m walking in God’s path
You had your chance, but you never saw
I’m a queen in this game, you’re just a flaw

You thought you had me, but you never knew
I’m the fire you can’t put out, no matter what you do
You can’t destroy me,  I won’t break, won’t fall
Taking back my life, I’m standing tall

'Cause karma’s coming, and it’s coming for you
For all the lies, all the shit you put me through
All your hoes, your games, your shame, it’s done
I’m better without you, I've already won
You messed up, but I’m rising high
You can watch me soar while you wonder why
Karma’s coming, karma’s here
You’ll regret it all, cause I'm not near

You tried to break me, but you can't, I'm better than the rest
All these girls you have, they’ll never pass the test
They'll lie and cheat, while I stand loyal to someone else
I'm the one you lost, you fucked this up yourself
I’m the best you’ll never have, and you’ll see that soon
Enjoy your shitty life, I’ll rise past you

'Cause karma’s coming, and it’s coming for you
For all the lies, all the shit you put me through
All your hoes, your games, your shame, it’s done
I’m better without you, I've already won
You messed up, but I’m rising high
Watch me soar while you wonder why
Karma’s coming, karma’s here
You’ll regret it all, cause I won't be near

I’m soaring higher while you hit the ground
You’ll be left behind when karma comes around
No one will catch you when you start to fall
I’ll be winning, while you lose it all

Better Without You

[ L y r i c s ]

You came back, like it was all okay,  
Said you'd be different, but you pushed me away.  
One minute you cared, the next you were cold,  
How the hell was I supposed to know?  

You blocked me out like I was just a mistake,  
But you didn’t even care what was at stake.  
I gave you everything, you gave me nothing,  
Now I’m standing here, sick of this suffering.

You say you’re busy, but you lied to my face,  
Played with my heart like it's just a game to chase.  
I don’t need your pity, don’t need your “sorry,”  
Just leave me alone, don’t come back, don’t worry.

Byeeee, I’m done with your games,  
Byeeee, you don’t get to call my name.  
You think you’ve won, you think I’m still there,  
But you’ve pushed me too far, I don’t even care.  
Byeeee, I’m walking away,  
I’m done with the lies, I’ve had enough of your play.  
Byeeee, yeah, byeeee.

You said you'd be here, but you weren't, were you?  
All those empty words, everything you screwed.  
You had me believing, I thought we could try,  
But you just shut me down, without a goodbye.  

And now you’re begging, asking not to be blocked,  
But you had your chance, now it’s time to walk.  
You thought I’d stay quiet, thought I’d wait in line,  
But I’m not your backup, I’m taking back what’s mine.

You thought I needed you, you thought I’d beg,  
But I’m not the fool you want to drag in your mess.  
You played your cards, now I'm making mine,  
I’m leaving you behind, I’m done wasting time.

Byeeee, I’m done with your games,  
Byeeee, you don’t get to call my name.  
You think you’ve won, you think I’m still there,  
But you’ve pushed me too far, I don’t even care.  
Byeeee, I’m walking away,  
I’m done with the lies, I’ve had enough of your play.  
Byeeee, yeah, byeeee.

You think you can just come back in,  
But you burned that bridge, you don't get to win.  
You think I’ll fall for your pity and lies,  
But I see through the mask, I won’t compromise.  

I gave you my trust, you threw it away,  
I’m not begging, not crying, not here to stay.  
So don’t come knocking, don’t even try,  
I’m done with your games, I’m saying goodbye.

Byeeee, I’m done with your games,  
Byeeee, you don’t get to call my name.  
You think you’ve won, you think I’m still there,  
But you’ve pushed me too far, I don’t even care.  
Byeeee, I’m walking away,  
I’m done with the lies, I’ve had enough of your play.  
Byeeee, yeah, byeeee.

Byeeee, I don’t need you,  
Byeeee, I’m better off without you.  
Byeeee, no more tears, no more lies,  
Byeeee… you’re just another goodbye.

Byeeee

Bad State of Mind

[ L y r i c s ]

Man, fuck you, fuck all that “friend” talk,  
You switched up quick, now you just a dead thought.  
Tried to play me? Boy, you played yourself,  
Should’ve stayed real, now you rot on the shelf.  

Talkin’ that shit like you ever meant it,  
You was just weak, yeah, I should’ve sent it.  
“Like me as a friend”? Bitch, shut the fuck up,  
Keep that weak-ass line, I don’t give a fuck.  

You worthless, you nothin’, you dust in the wind,  
I don’t need closure, I don’t need a friend.  
Shoulda known better, shoulda stayed in your lane,  
Now you just proof that these bitches the same.  

Now you mad ‘cause I don’t look back,  
You a mistake, just a part of my past.  
Thought you was fire, but bitch, you was trash,  
Took out the garbage, now I’m livin’ fast.  

You fumbled me, dumb as fuck, no cap,  
Could’ve had a queen, now you stuck with the rats.  
Beggin’ for a chance? Nah, bitch, stay back,  
I ain’t got time for no snakes in my path.  

I was too real, too solid, too raw,  
You just a bitch who be playin’ the fraud.  
I don’t forgive, and I don’t forget,  
Now I’m the storm that you ‘bout to regret.  

Now you see me up, now you see me shine,  
Bet that regret eatin’ you alive.  
Cry me a river, drown in your shame,  
You was a joke, now you just a name.  

Actin’ like I’m pressed? Bitch, I don’t care,  
Look in the mirror, that’s karma right there.  
Tryna come back? Don’t even try,  
All that fake love? Bitch, bye-bye.  

You switched up fast, now you beggin’ for space,  
But I’m way too gone, can’t keep up with my pace.  
Did me so dirty, now you reap what you sow,  
Now you just mad ‘cause I’m colder than snow.  

I was the realest, the best that you had,  
You lost a diamond, be sick, be mad.  
Talk all that shit, but I know that you hurt,  
You miss what you had, yeah, I know what I’m worth.  

Run to your friends, go and cry, go complain,  
Ain’t changin’ shit, you still losin’ the game.  
Say what you want, I don’t care what you do,  
Bitch, I’m too blessed to be stressin’ on you.  

Now you see me shine, now you feel regret,  
Tryna rewrite shit? Nah, bitch, forget.  
Erase my name, don’t speak, don’t text,  
You ain't a loss, just a lesson at best.  

Fuck you, fuck your lies, fuck your face,  
Fuck every word, shoulda known you was fake.  
I don’t need love, I don’t need shit,  
All I need now is to watch you regret.

Homesick

🦁 Track III of VIII – A Marvelous Game
(Waking, Deception, and the Theater of Chains)

The dream fades — and with it, the beauty, the peace, the illusions that once burned bright.
The lion stirs, not in freedom, but in cold iron and dim, suffocating light.

Gone are the misty forests and the songs of starlight. In their place stands a crumbling stage, built of rotting wood and twisted bars, dressed in shadows pretending to be gold. The crowd’s roar rumbles through the air, but it is not of kinship or love — it is hunger, spectacle, ownership.

Here, he is not celebrated for his spirit, but for his ability to bend without breaking. They call it a marvelous game — a performance that questions the truth of the dream itself. Was it just a trick of the light? A fleeting vision? A game we played in hope, only to find the rules were written in chains?

At first, the lion staggers under the weight of this false world, dizzy on the echoes of the dream he lost. He plays his part, offering roars on command, letting the applause dull the gnawing ache inside.

But truth gnashes within him.
Truth roars through his blood.

This is not freedom. This is not life.
This is slavery dressed in velvet.
This is death by forgetting.

In the gloom, something ancient stirs:
An untamed fire that no dream, no chain, no lie can kill.

This is the snare that turns kings into prisoners — and dares them to shatter the stage.

A Marvelous Game

“Miracle of Life” is a soulful, uplifting anthem that celebrates the beauty and power of inner light. Blending heartfelt vulnerability with soaring imagery, the song paints a picture of someone whose presence, smile, and spirit breathe life into those around them. Each verse builds with tender admiration, while the chorus drives home the message that the light we carry is not meant to be hidden—it’s the miracle of life itself. With its mix of intimacy and universality, Miracle of Life is both a love song and a spiritual reminder: when you let your light shine, you awaken hope, joy, and new life in the world.

Miracle of Life

“Teardrops” is a haunting country anthem about the quiet kind of heartbreak—the kind that never quite makes it to the surface. With vivid imagery of storms that won’t break and clouds too heavy to cry, the song captures the struggle of feeling deep pain while being unable to release it.

The verses paint a picture of someone carrying invisible wounds, hiding their hurt behind practiced smiles and silent halls. The chorus becomes a desperate question—where do the tears go when the soul is aching but refuses to let go?

Blending warm acoustic tones with cinematic country depth, the song explores emotional drought, buried sorrow, and the resilience of holding it all in. The bridge hints at a childhood shaped by silence, and the outro leaves a soft glimmer of hope that someday, those locked-away tears might finally fall.

Raw, vulnerable, and beautifully introspective, “Teardrops” is a heartfelt journey through the storms we carry but never show.

Teardrops

You Set My World On Fire

I am the voice for those who seek
Strength when darkness peaks.
I live a life wild and free
Forged in fire, untamed like the sea.

Yet in the shadows, light will rise,
A spark reflecting in weary eyes.
Through storm and silence, loss and fear,
A guiding flame still burns clear.

Sebastian—steadfast, strong and true,
A warrior’s heart in midnight’s hue.
Theodore—gifted hands to heal,
A name that speaks of love made real.
And Lucas—born to blaze the way,
A torch against the darkest gray.

No chains can bind, no night consume,
For light will break the deepest gloom.
A Viking soul, both fierce and wise,
With northern winds behind his eyes.

I walk alone, yet I ignite,
A nameless soul—but burning bright.
A kingdom’s call, a truth to find,
A beacon in the hands of time.

Drifting between melodies and words, I weave stories from the whispers of the wind and the echoes of the soul. A seeker of truth, I find inspiration in the rhythm of nature and the spark of human connection. My spirit walks with the snowy owl and arctic wolf, rooted in the strength of my Viking ancestry. Through music and creation, I build—shaping a kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. No single path holds all the answers, but every path holds a piece of the truth.
