chasing ghosts

Arena Rock best describes this hard edged tracj reminecent of the late 70;s to early 80's rock artists.

Glide

I’ve been praying for this so long,
Then a moment came, it was all gone.
A look in your eyes, the storm in my mind,
Searching for shelter, some peace to find.

Your eyes were stars in a midnight sky,
Every wish I made was just to survive.
Then I saw you standing right there in front of me,
Like a gift straight from heaven, set my soul free.

[Pre-Chorus]

But Father God, I feel the ache,
Every time I give, it breaks.
You show me love, then tear it away,
I’m left here screaming, asking why today.

[Chorus]

Why, Father God, do you give, then take?
Why show me a life that I can’t embrace?
You know my pain, you know my scars,
Why keep dealing me a broken deck of cards?
Why, Father God, I don’t understand,
Was this all part of your greater plan?
I’m crying out, don’t leave me blind,
I need your light, I need a sign.

[Verse 2]

You took my childhood, innocence too,
Things I never chose, but they cut right through.
Day after day, the pain wouldn’t stop,
I asked you to lift me, but I still dropped.

Every love I give, it fades away,
Every joy I find, it don’t stay.
Am I just the game? Am I just the test?
Are you trying to see if I’ll stand the rest?

[Chorus]

Why, Father God, do you give, then take?
Why show me a life that I can’t embrace?
You know my pain, you know my scars,
Why keep dealing me a broken deck of cards?
Why, Father God, I don’t understand,
Was this all part of your greater plan?
I’m crying out, don’t leave me blind,
I need your light, I need a sign.

[Bridge]

I’m on my knees, torn apart,
You’re the only healer of this heart.
Through the storms and endless night,
I’m still reaching for your light.

Even when I don’t know why,
Even when my tears still cry,
I’ll hold on, though I’m weak inside,
Father God, don’t let me die.

[Final Chorus]

Why, Father God, do you give, then take?
Why show me a life that I can’t embrace?
You know my pain, you know my scars,
Why keep dealing me a broken deck of cards?
Why, Father God, I don’t understand,
But I’ll keep walking, holding your hand.
Through all the pain, through all the cries,
I’ll keep on searching for your eyes.

Why, Father God

Never too Late

Lyrics:

Verse
Another blind soul asking for direction
This dead end street
It's paved with good intentions
It's not too late to change your course of action
Better do it soon
'Cause you're headin' for a crashin'
I can't be the one to save you

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors

Verse 2
When you look in the mirror
What do you see?
Do you see a hero? Or do you see a freak?
Well
I don't have time to make you understand
Go ahead and cry
Child
It's not my problem
No one gives a damn if you cry

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors

Bridge
No one gives a damn if you cry
I can't be the one to save you

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors

Ain't Here To Do Favors

Where Love Simply Is — a quiet interlude in the Virtues Series.

A song born not from intention, but from realization.
A moment of awakening — quiet, tender, true.

It appeared in the flow of life,
as if love itself had been waiting to be heard.
No virtue to define — only presence,
the still ground beneath all that moves.

This piece isn’t about longing or loss.
It’s about the calm that remains when everything else falls away —
the breath that stays when words are gone.

The music carries that truth:
soft, spacious, alive —
like an exhale that turns into light.

I’m deeply grateful for this piece —
for how it emerged unplanned,
and for Marol’s sound (@zophrenia) that gave it presence,
turning silence itself into a kind of love.

✨ A quiet bridge between the virtues — the pulse beneath them all.


Where Love Simply Is

The Last to Fall

Verse
Why do I bother trying to convince you
You're such a goddamn cynic
That's not what you say when you're drunk and call me crying
You and I are both to blame
I'm not the only one you play
You're just a liar
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

Chorus
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you

Verse 2
I don't know why I try to convince you
I guess I can't help it
I mean
Have you seen you?
I can't blame the others for what I feel
You and I are both to blame
I'm not the only one you play
You're just a liar
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

Chorus
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you

Outro
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound

Wings of Terror

Lyrics 


I’m sitting here, alone on my own
A hollow heart turning into stone
Empty echoes filling up this room


Do they feel it — the ache inside,
Or do we let the truth divide?


The world keeps turning but it’s hard to see,
With all this pain still surrounding me.
Alone on my own — it won’t let me be,
I try to let go… but I can’t set it free.


The news, it screams; the headlines cry,
Broken dreams — another goodbye.
A world on fire and I wonder why.


Do they feel it — the ache inside,
Or do we let the truth divide?


The world keeps turning but it’s hard to see,
With all this pain still surrounding me.
Alone on my own — it won’t let me be,
I try to let go… but I can’t set it free.




If hope’s a seed, it’s buried deep,
In cracks where all the silences creep.
Can we plant it, make it grow?
Or is it lost in the undertow?

The world keeps turning but it’s hard to see,
With all this pain still surrounding me.
Alone on my own — it won’t let me be,
I try to let go… but I can’t set it free.


Alone on my own… it won’t let me be…
I try to let go… but I can’t set it free.

“Beak to Beak” is DJ BeakSpeak’s debut under HatchToLife Media — a darkly comic reflection on the early days of the CROWVID-19 outbreak. Told in BeakSpeak’s own voice as he recalls the pandemic’s chaos, it’s part satire, part survival tale, and entirely birdbrained brilliance.

More artists are taking flight soon — including the debut of HatchToLife’s newest sensation, Billie iEyelash.

Beak to Beak

BackToLife is a Midwest-built, underground-tested rock project blending alternative bite with progressive ambition. Minor chords, humor infused narrative lyrics drive a big sound that lives between bruised confessional and widescreen drama—pulling influence from classical to metal, city noise to open-field quiet.

After steady growth through DIY circuits and playlist traction, BackToLife is moving into a broader phase: a companion book, a run of visual releases, and collaborations with artists—including AI-animated creators—designed to extend the story beyond the speakers. “Dead to Me (Ozark Murder)” leads the charge: an unflinching, true-story confessional that points to where this is headed—darker, louder, and unmistakably honest.
