has character that's good
has character that's good

How do you feel tonight
When lying alone in your bed
Do you ever think of your past lives
Or is it better just to forget

When you turn off the lights 
do you hear the echoes of voices
That haunts you for what you've done
Makes you rethink of all your choices

And I'm still here 
picking up the pieces from the ground
I'm still here, yeah, I'm still here,
Can't keep me no more bound.

I will rise,
And never again will I fall.
There's something you should know,
I was born to run not to crawl.

I will rise,
At the end you will see
That nothing can break me.

Another sleepless night
How many can you bare
First beam of morning light
Hits your eyes through your hair

Take a look in the mirror
That's above you on the ceiling
What do you see in your eyes
Have they lost all the feeling

And I'm still here 
picking up the pieces from the ground
I'm still here, yeah, I'm still here,
Can't keep me no more bound.

I will rise,
And never again will I fall.
There's something you should know,
I was born to run not to crawl.


How do you feel tonight
When lying alone in your bed....

Unbreakable

Song Lyrics: 
We walk, we fall, we rise, we go,
A path of dust, no end in sight.
The sky so far, the land so cold,
Our hearts grow faint in endless night.
This road, this road, it takes us all,
Step by step, we hear the call.
Leave behind what once was home,
Now we are left to walk alone.
The children’s eyes, so dim with fear,
Their laughter lost, their voices gone.
The wind it howls, but we don’t hear,
We march as shadows, marching on.
This road, this road, it takes us all,
Step by step, we hear the call.
Leave behind what once was home,
Now we are left to walk alone.
The earth beneath us turns to stone,
The sky above us, silent, still.
We carry all we’ve ever known,
But nothing’s ours, not even will.
This road, this road, it takes us all,
Step by step, we hear the call.
Leave behind what once was home,
Now we are left to walk alone.
We walk, we fall, we rise, we go,
On this road, no end we know.

The Trail of Tears

The Trail Of Tears

"The Burning Bridge" is a powerful and emotive ballad that weaves a heroic narrative of sacrifice and courage. Set at a slow tempo, the song artfully blends the soulful grit of blues rock with the modern beats of trap music, creating a unique fusion that is both timeless and contemporary.

Cinematic in scope, the composition features rich orchestral arrangements that heighten the emotional impact, transporting listeners into the very heart of the story. Resonant vocals deliver the poignant lyrics with depth and sincerity, capturing the essence of heroes standing firm against overwhelming odds.

The track opens with a haunting guitar riff characteristic of blues rock, setting a melancholic tone. As the song progresses, trap-inspired percussion subtly introduces a rhythmic complexity, while sweeping strings and atmospheric synths add layers of cinematic grandeur.

"The Burning Bridge" culminates in a stirring crescendo where all musical elements unite, mirroring the climax of the heroes' journey. The resonant vocals soar over the instrumentation, leaving a lasting impression of valor and selflessness.

This ballad is more than just a song—it's an epic tale set to music, celebrating the indomitable spirit of those who dare to stand against the tide for the greater good.

The Burning Bridge

Desire

"His Silver Tears" is a raw and emotive ballad that transforms into a powerful anthem of self-discovery and resilience. The song begins with a deep, resonant vocal over a sparse piano melody, capturing the weight of feeling like he’s never enough. Each verse builds on the melancholy, with subtle guitar strums and reverb-laden synths adding texture as his voice trembles with vulnerability. As the chorus arrives, it erupts into a wave of synths, pounding drums, and soaring guitars, mirroring the intensity of emotions as he finds strength in the midst of his struggles. His voice grows stronger, carrying a defiant edge that cuts through the layers of sound, turning the pain into a declaration of inner power. It’s a journey from shadows to light, where every tear symbolizes a step towards embracing his true self.

WHEN YOU'RE NOT WITH ME

She﻿﻿ walks between the﻿ lines​​ оf light,
A silhouette﻿ that﻿﻿ fades from sight.
Her dreams are locked behind closed doors,
She’s scared​ tо﻿﻿ live, but﻿﻿ wants much more.

The nights are﻿﻿ long,﻿ they﻿﻿ never end,
The stars, they mock—they﻿﻿ don’t pretend.
She wonders​​ іf she’ll ever find
A way​ tо﻿﻿ leave﻿ this﻿﻿ shell behind.

Pre-Chorus
She’s​​ a﻿ ghost​ іn​​ a crowded room,
A flower that’ll﻿﻿ never bloom.
But​​ іn her shadow,﻿ hides​​ a flame,
And﻿﻿ maybe he’s the same.

Chorus
She’s the rain﻿ that﻿﻿ never falls,
A distant﻿ echo​​ іn the halls.
She﻿﻿ hides her heart, but﻿﻿ wears her pain,
In​​ a﻿﻿ world﻿ that﻿ feels​​ sо far away.
And he’s the mirror​​ tо her soul,
The shattered pieces make them whole.
They’re﻿ both﻿﻿ alone but﻿﻿ never gone,
Two midnight﻿﻿ souls that sing one song.

Verse﻿ 2
He﻿﻿ hides beneath the moonless skies,
A walking﻿ mask,​​ a thin disguise.
His mind’s​​ a maze﻿ with​​ nо escape,
A broken﻿ heart​ he﻿﻿ can’t reshape.

They﻿ share​​ a silence​​ sо profound,
Like whispers lost without​​ a sound.
He doesn’t know she﻿﻿ feels the same,
Both﻿ lost​ іn﻿﻿ their unspoken pain.

Pre-Chorus
They’re shadows chasing fading light,
A﻿﻿ storm﻿ that﻿ never﻿ takes​​ tо flight.
But​​ іn the﻿﻿ dark, they intertwine,
Two﻿﻿ souls﻿ lost​​ іn time.

Chorus
She’s the rain﻿ that﻿﻿ never falls,
A distant﻿ echo​​ іn the halls.
She﻿﻿ hides her heart, but﻿﻿ wears her pain,
In​​ a﻿﻿ world﻿ that﻿ feels​​ sо far away.
And he’s the mirror​​ tо her soul,
The shattered pieces make them whole.
They’re﻿ both﻿﻿ alone but﻿﻿ never gone,
Two midnight﻿﻿ souls that sing one song.

Bridge
If only﻿ they﻿﻿ could see they’re not alone,
Two broken hearts﻿ that﻿ could​​ be home.
But﻿ fear​​ іs louder than the truth,
It drowns the echoes​ оf﻿﻿ their youth.
So they’ll keep fading into night,
Two﻿﻿ stars﻿ that﻿﻿ never burn too bright.

Outro
She dreams​ оf﻿﻿ being someone else,
But doesn’t see he’s just himself.
Two shadows passing​​ іn the dark,
Two halves​​ оf one unspoken spark.
If only﻿ they﻿﻿ could take the leap,
Maybe they’d﻿ find​​ a﻿ place​​ tо sleep.

Chasing Tomorrow

"Come Out and Play" is a seductive, lo-fi trap track that invites a shy lover to step out of their shell and embrace the warmth waiting for them. Soft beats and whispery, vowel ad-libs set the tone, blending a dreamy, hazy ambiance with a playful undertone. The song's inviting lyrics are gentle yet alluring, coaxing with each verse as it builds into a chorus that feels like a warm embrace. With smooth rhythms and an intimate, layered vocal that draws you in, "Come Out and Play" is the perfect soundtrack for those quiet, late-night moments of connection and vulnerability.
