Lyrics:

How could I have read your mind
One so dark and see all the issues
Plaguing us forever I won't be so cold
Yet you keep it bold you saw all my scars
But now you carve them in

Tell me any kind of wish
Show me your imagination
Tell me your darkest secrets I need to know
Won't be the last private show

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone I feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

How could I see past your face
When you wore the mask
No emotion even through my devotion
I felt no touch no warm sense of loving
To keep me from going off the deep end

Tell me any kind of wish
Show me your imagination
Tell me your darkest secrets I need to know
Won't be the last private show

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone I feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

Oh liability
How could I see your heart
Oh damned bunny
Why couldn't I let you go

When you confess you need me
When you left me out of control
Give me a clue
Give me one more second chance

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone I feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone i feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

Only if you confess
You're killing me
My desperation
Is eating me
Only if you confess
You're starving me
I just ask you 
Give me one more second chance

Released: 7/21/23

Lyrics:

When I step out the door
Keep it simple but you want more
Like a fire I'll be burning 
Keep the cold out yet you're yearning 
You want to see a look underneath 
But I stay true to my teeth 

When he leaves the house 
His eyes will follow
All he wants is to bite and swallow
May be dumb but I wish he knew 
How I'm the only one keeping him in tune
Lets keep it known, how I'm all fine being alone
He's no cupid, he's so stupid
But I got an eye for shining diamonds

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

When I walk on the scene
All I want is to be seen
Like a diamond I'll be shining
You know you're only buying
Everyone wants a piece
But only if you have a leese
Grand carpet red carpet
Any show I'm only yours

When he leaves the house 
His eyes will follow
All he wants is to bite and swallow
May be dumb but I wish he knew 
How I'm the only one keeping him in tune
Lets keep it known, how I'm all fine being alone
He's no cupid, he's so stupid
But I got an eye for shining diamonds

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

Look and see he's all around the block
Do you see he's around every corner
Have you seen he's in every shady alley
Have you seen 
Look and see
Look and see

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

Lyrics:

Jack in the box
A real elusive fox
This day is the day you won't forget
When I unwind my best
If you wanna see a new world (wanna see a new world)
All you have to do is come out and play (come out and play)

You say old fashioned
I say just roll it
Why fight it when you know you gon' like it
Keep it the same
I'm not the one to blame
When temptation reaches over
Then you just come over

Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
You know you gon' like it
No point in fightin'
You know you have the key
Unlocking is free

Are you scared of this challenge
Can't handle the prize without the wildness
Will I take the time to control you
Or will you have to seek me for your interview
If you wanna seek your truth (wanna seek your truth)
All you have to do is fall into temptation (fall into temptation)

You say old fashioned
I say just roll it
Why fight it when you know you gon' like it
Keep it the same
I'm not the one to blame
When temptation reaches over
Then you just come over

Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
You know you gon' like it
No point in fightin'
You know you have the key
Unlocking is free

I'm goona play my toys
I'm goona play my boys
You watch me from the stage
From the stage
Im gon' play my boys
Im gon' play my tous
You watch me from the cage
From your cage

You say old fashioned
I say just roll it
Why fight it when you know you gon' like it
Keep it the same
I'm not the one to blame
When temptation reaches over
Then you just come over

Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
You know you gon' like it

Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

Do you see me 
Do you know where I come from
Somewhere far away a land where there is no sun
Darkness in all tones 
Feel the beat deep in my bones
Can't be satisfied in the light 
I need to know if you bite

Now I'm feeling so hypnotized
Ah ah ah
Got this feeling deep inside
Ah ah ah
My fangs are sharp when they bite
Ah ah ah
I let my monsters come out and play

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Do you know the effect you have on me 
Like a python with a venomous touch 
I can sip the truth in the tea 
Lies and hoax can be all too much
Find me in the dark 
In the hours past midnight

Now I'm feeling so hypnotized
Ah ah ah
Got this feeling deep inside
Ah ah ah
My fangs are sharp when they bite
Ah ah ah
I let my monsters come out and play

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Living in the dark, In my prehistoric arc
My fangs can make their mark, I take over in the hours past
Don't need to run fast, Let it all come for a blast
Vampire at night, And angel by the light

Life and death, the cycle goes on
Pure and sin, all inside of me
But do you know the world you unlock
When you come see me past 3 o' clock

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Lyrics:

Cause I guarantee you've never been on a ride like this
Desperate for speed you won't forget
Wanna take a ride open up the seat
Baby this the fast lane
Cause I guarantee you've never been in a ride like this
Desperate for speed you won"t forget
Going 80 miles in the highway

I wanna know what you like, Fantasy your majesty
Holy or with devilish spike
I wanna know, Yeah it's alright
All the textures you like
Baby I am sick in the head
The craziest kiss you've ever had
Psychic damn so bad
I heard the scream from your bed
You wanna tear, I wanna wear
I like it rough, You like it tough
I promise I will behave

Just sing the hymn and I'll fall
I want to see you
Out of your mind lose control
Baby this the fast lane

Desperate for speed you won't forget
Wanna take a ride open up the seat

Desperate for speed you won"t forget
Going 80 miles in the highway
Baby this the fast lane

When your in bed who do you think
I wanna know your fantasy
Don't care if they're all watching
I wanna see, I wanna be
High and low, Sexy and free
Its all different when you're with me
I want your all
I want your dirt, In the dark
Voodoo doll and you won't know
You want it hard, You want it fast
I like it slow, Always enough
Promise I will behave

Just sing the hymn and I'll fall
I want to see you
Out of your mind lose control
Baby this the fast lane

Track eleven on Ben Mercedez' debut album Confessions, SAY MY NAME

"Confessions" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

I feel I've been trapped in a hard cage
Made by my own rage
Waiting for someone, To let me begun
I've spent Cold nights cast away
Only the leaves make me sway
Waiting for life, To cut the day like a knife

Playing sick mind games, Only myself to aim
Holding on by a tight string, You'll be the one to bring

If you want to say my name
Wear it with some respect
This price doesn't come for free
You can only see
If you want to say my name
Where it high and proud
You can always set me free
You were meant for me

The lights get hot and are strobing
As I start trying to joking
About a lonely situation, As it ends in false elation
Energy rising as planets collide
But that doesn't mean we have to abide
By old rules, In a crowd of fools

Playing sick mind games, Only myself to aim
Holding on by a tight string, You'll be the one to bring

If you want to say my name
Wear it with some respect
This price doesn't come for free
You can only see
If you want to say my name
Where it high and proud
You can always set me free
You were meant for me

If you want to say my name, Say my name
Don't wear it in vain, Wear it in vain
If you want to say my name, Say my name
Try to tame a burning flame, Tame a burning flame

If you want to say my name
Wear it with some respect
This price doesn't come for free
You can only see
If you want to say my name
Where it high and proud
You can always set me free
You were meant for me

If you want to say my name
Wear it with some respect
This price doesn't come for free
You can only see
If you want to say my name
Where it high and proud
You can always set me free
You were meant for me

Track twelve on Ben Mercedez' debut album Confessions, WITHIN YOU

"Confessions" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

I've been high, I fell low
I've seen things, You can't know
I feel like there's nowhere to go
All alone in the shadow
I can't see straight, They say I'm blind
I can't feel you, I know it's true
At the end of the road
There is no other side

Needed a reason to live
One life with commitment
One spark to fill this hole
Filled it with your whole soul
Needed a friend in the night
One still in the dark
One to send this love
But I couldn't resist, I had to keep searching

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

I've been too lonely, I've Been too empty
To know what song to sing
As the monsters cut my wings
I've been hurt by my past 
As the consequences last
Vision becomes deluded
As I see our future

Lusted a meaning to this
One wish without magic
One dream to keep me blind
Occupies my whole mind
Lusted more in the dark
One thought drives by
One heart occupied
But I couldn't resist, I had to keep searching

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

I've seen mountains, I've seen valleys
No hand for me
But my heart aches at any sight
Let me see your starlight
I've felt hurt, I've been mean
But these things I can't see
My heart is diamond
Let me be your savior

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

Oh you shot my heart
Right into a million tiny stars
And I look up in the sky
And see a beautiful shining light

Gonna be the one, to hold you
As you cry about the world
Gonna see love, profusion
In dying ecstasy 
Gonna feel the touch, of poison
As your mind spins fast
Round around

Come babe just take cover

Love me love me, Don't play nice
Feel me feel me, Don't request
I'll be your secret only come out midnight

Staying all night we do more than hugs and kisses

Wanna see the world, it's here babe

Wanna feel the touch, of destiny
As it graces by my side
Wanna kill the dread, in your damn head
I can set you free

But my conceited ways feel the need for you
I know we may fall to their mayhem
But I still love your soft soothe
Let's just keep this hot
Let the bass fade our problems out of misery

Just a bit of a bitch

Walk down the runway 
These streets my red carpet
Money talks
Diamond tells the tale of my
Deviance
Madonna said it best in song

Who are you to be destined for the stars
Who are you to think you could reach the bar
Will you fight the war for the crown

FASHIONOVA 
I'm gassing them all no mercy
Supernova
I'm the runway the whole entire stage
It is the day
I take the crown and you obey
I'm gonna pop bottles and celebrate

FASHIONOVA
Cause they fawn at my glow it feels so good
Hear the church bells ring for me
Even though I know the facades all a shell
Fashion fashion 
FASHIONOVA

Pose for the photoshoot, but don't freak
Welcome to Paris fashion week
(La soie Sophistiqué)
Just keep your time in your mind
(Before you)
Age that skin and perignon your sins away

Who are you to be destined for the stars
Who are you to think you could reach the bar
Will you fight the war for the crown

FASHIONOVA

Hear the church bells ring for me
Even though I know the facades all a shell
Fashion fashion 
FASHIONOVA

Wanna drink, the night away
Douse this house, in red flames
Binge my fear, soon I'll lay
In my own, velvet shame

Who are you to be destined for the stars
Who are you to think you could reach the bar
Will you fight the war for the crown

FASHIONOVA

Today is the day (watch your crown bitch)

Lyrics:

Look, but don't touch something I can't have
My eyes found the one, but you can't see past
Now I'm aware of your female taste
I tried to hide the pain
God bless my heart

Why, was I born this way
Me, destined for endless yearnin'
See, I don't play down low
I don't do fake bullshit
No, you shot my heart but it is what it is

I have too much to say
I could say my words or burn your face

IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll light your body aflame
Watch our flames burn
Cause I gotta follow, what my heart says
IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll pull out my range rover
Run you right over
I'll take you down to hell

No, I see the bible through your lies
You try to act like, a holy priest
I won't be stickin' around
Cause you're my lifeline I need u 
I know I sound real manic right now

Oh, your heart can turn, mmmm
Got nasty thoughts, teasing me up in my head
But just, a fantasy of a twisted mind
Not worth my deprived time
I don't care about kindness no more

I have too much to say
I could say my words or burn your face

IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll light your body aflame
Watch our flames burn
Cause I gotta follow, what my heart says
IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll pull out my range rover
Run you right over
I'll take you down to hell

That girl, that girl
She got everything and the man that I want
Dear God, dear God
Why was I born for this life
My man, my man
He's lost to the strays
Help me, help me
I'm losing this war

I have too much to say
I could say my words or burn your face

IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll light your body aflame
Watch our flames burn
Cause I gotta follow, what my heart says
IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll pull out my range rover
Run you right over
I'll take you down to hell

I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY

Out of town, cross county
Highway, don't stop me
On fire, ash tray
Checkbook, cashed it
Paid up, lavish
My men, watch me
Private, show
Audition, honor roll

I need a man I can play with all day
Not one that doesn't enjoy riske
I need a snake I can call for triple kill
I'm so baked I don't know what's the deal
Cash in your hands, bricked in your pants
Flashlight on lights down low
Just two years, who cares
One more step we got to go

I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY

White Plains, bike lanes
Uber, how classy
Don't ask, don't tell
Downtown, I come out

You know I have impure tastes
Always the first one in a haste
Lust don't mean a thing
Call it the hook up in full swing

I need a man I can play with all day
Not one that doesn't enjoy riske
I need a snake I can call for triple kill
I'm so baked I don't know what's the deal
Cash in your hands, bricked in your pants
Flashlight on lights down low
Just two years, who cares
One more step we got to go

I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY

X rated, convict
Criminal, damage minimal
Can't stop me, deprived
My reprise, bit the apple
Now the space got me feeling kind of whack
Am I on the right track
HEAVY HEART SYNDROME
Nauseated referendum
Hit me right back
Hit me right back

I need a man I can play with all day
Not one that doesn't enjoy riske
I need a snake I can call for triple kill
I'm so baked I don't know what's the deal
Cash in your hands, bricked in your pants
Flashlight on lights down low
Just two years, who cares
One more step we got to go

I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

I always knew it was you
You saw it in me too
We always loved our grooved lines
We were blessed from our signs
FUTURE LOVE SONG to be sung
I always thought even though=
You were so cold it could snow
At midnight it'd be us
We'd sneak out of the house
FUTURE LOVE SONG to be sung

It's not that you are too blinded for me babe
It's not because you were born to a cruel world
It's just that i cant watch me fall apart
When we could be writing our FUTURE LOVE SONG

Molotov or titos 
We'd down it all in a ball
And we'd say fuck the world
Then as no one was watching 
We'd share a kiss from above
I'd hail you my idol 
Though we had it all
We enjoyed our last joint
Falling asleep side by side
We sung our FUTURE LOVE SONG

It's not that you are too blinded for me babe
It's not because you were born to a cruel world
It's just that i cant watch me fall apart
When we could be writing our FUTURE LOVE SONG

Walk down memory lane 
I lay quadrupled in pain
How did I let this hurt 
Just a goodbye that won't work
No Radio to sirius 
No more secrets and dark confessions 
I want to live in this dream 
Of our FUTURE LOVE SONG
But that won't work
But that can't work

It's not that you are too blinded for me babe
It's not because you were born to a cruel world
It's just that i cant watch me fall apart
When we could be writing our FUTURE LOVE SONG

Released: 5/24/24

Surrender for my DNA go to war for me your babe (SERGEANT)
Stick in line for your undercover lover, not just your private (SERGEANT)
Storm the siege with a new companion, all hours (SERGEANT)
Bombs and missiles don't dim the light of our fire, get behind me (SERGEANT)

I can't stop the rush of adrenaline
Commander please take me to your SERGEANT
I can't stop it I'll keep on fighting
My SERGEANT my SERGEANT

We don't just blast the enemy, blast the enemy
I want to blast my SERGEANT
My SERGEANT, my SERGEANT
Don't just ignore our chemistry, our chemistry
I want to bless my SERGEANT
My SERGEANT, my SERGEANT 

Every kiss I ascend
To the heavens and see
Our future of joy and company
Every touch I depend
On you for fantasy
I feel you and know this is true love

Ferment the soil enrich our boil, terminate (SERGEANT)
Welcome to the jungle meet the boy from inside, of your heart (SERGEANT)

'Cause if you take the leap, enjoy my treat
Together we enjoy the fine luxuries
Missiles will sound, bombs will burst
Soon, ensues a love so cursed

We don't just blast the enemy, blast the enemy
I want to blast my SERGEANT
My SERGEANT, my SERGEANT
Don't just ignore our chemistry, our chemistry
I want to bless my SERGEANT
My SERGEANT, my SERGEANT

Turn it around, hot
Now do it again
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday
And on Fridays, we go crazy
My love, we shoot for the stars

'Cause every single time I feel the rush inside
Don't deny yourself of godly pleasure
Oyster I'm the pearl, MERCEDEZ I'm the world
Unlock this hidden treasure
Touch me in the dark, we do it in the park
Fuck it up one last time
Count me on your dimes, feel me in the rhymes
'Cause SERGEANT there's no going back

Every kiss I ascend
To the heavens and see
Our future of joy and company
Every touch I depend
On you for fantasy
I feel you and know this is true love

Every kiss I ascend
To the heavens and see
Our future of joy and company

Backstage affair, the headlines they tear
A story of us, a picture perfect wedding 
Oh I lust, isn't it just so unjust 
You're the man I need, amongst the fans stampede
You see me in the crowd, rainbow through the clouds

Fame is forever, take on this endeavor
Always find you, my favorite, favorite, ROCKSTAR

Silver screen lover, you better take cover
A boy with ambition, always finishes the mission
I adore the flashing lights
Dance behind the scenes, I'm looking to be seen
A boy a magician, turns the engine on full ignition
I lust for your flashing lights

I need you in my life, you're my superstar

Ignoring the vultures all they do is talk

I know you got primal feelings boy
Lately I've been feeling hungrier, than usual

You're looking for someone to set you free
I'll be your boy and you'll be my man
Make you feel things you can't understand
Grab my hand and let's take the leap
Be my rider, my man tonight
Take a trip down a windy road

Lyrics:

I'm the LA hero, keep the weight zero
Epileptic always symmetric
I'm the primadonna, higher than life I'm the drama
Starlight I'm so electric
You're the obsessive, you get so aggressive
My life has become so hectic
You're the big spender, keep your veins tender
Hollywood's full of skeptics

Oh miss MARILYN
Hollywood priestess
Catch her on the billboards
Always being adored
Oh famed MARILYN
So addictive
America's new queen it's objective
It's a cruel world, not made for me or you
Some were born to be seen, enjoy piles of green
They say I've lost my soul
It's the price you pay for total control

I'm the diva front screen, had this dream since fifteen
Magazines I tore
We're the bourgeoisie, the elite and supreme
Oh boo you WHORE
Riddle me this, is ignorance bliss
Am I even human
VIVALDI plays, I live for your praise
California weather getting so humid

Oh miss MARILYN
Hollywood priestess
Catch her on the billboards
Always being adored
Oh famed MARILYN
So addictive
America's new queen it's objective
It's a cruel world, not made for me or you
Some were born to be seen, enjoy piles of green
They say I've lost my soul
It's the price you pay for total control

The orchestra plays, I'm in dismay
Contract with the devil gets you in trouble
The public turns affray, a star's final betray
We all started off as just another rebel
Will you watch as I spiral down under
Will you awe at the crowds deafening thunder
Am I just your commodity
I lost my own autonomy

Oh miss MARILYN
Hollywood priestess
Catch her on the billboards
Always being adored
Oh famed MARILYN
So addictive
America's new queen it's objective
It's a cruel world, not made for me or you
Some were born to be seen, enjoy piles of green
They say I've lost my soul
It's the price you pay for total control

Lyrics:

Lies, deceit
Essence, of greed
Idol, star
Toy, for your satisfaction

In this age of cheap relation
All I want is real flirtation 
Face on but they don't see beneath 
They just want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME
Go down the hole to wonderland
Ill take you places you won't understand
Famous last words before I flee
Do you want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME

Don't need your feeling
Our loveless affair
Don't need desperation
Or a billionaire
I want it all
Is it a crime to want it all
You want to touch me
A sweet relief
You want a monster in the sheets
You want it all
Oh it's a crime to want it all 

In this age of cheap relation
All I want is real flirtation 
Face on but they don't see beneath 
They just want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME
Go down the hole to wonderland
Ill take you places you won't understand
Famous last words before I flee
Do you want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME

I need real love
Or is it too much (to ask)
I need the full deal
These men aren't real
I want what I can't have
I want what I can't have
You want satisfaction, at my expense 
You want a sexual reaction
You want a piece of me
You want a piece of meat

In this age of cheap relation
All I want is real flirtation 
Face on but they don't see beneath 
They just want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME
Go down the hole to wonderland
Ill take you places you won't understand
Famous last words before I flee
Do you want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME

I want your love, and you want my touch
I want your love, all you want is to touch
If I could speak, I would cause a havoc
But you've silenced me, you've silenced me
I want your love, and you want my touch
I want your love, all you want is to touch
If I could sing, I would cause a havoc
But you've got my tongue
Ripped out my tongue 

In this age of cheap relation
All I want is real flirtation 
Face on but they don't see beneath 
They just want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME
Go down the hole to wonderland
Ill take you places you won't understand
Famous last words before I flee
Do you want to TOUCH ME T-T-TOUCH ME

Lyrics:

Everything, I do lust
In time, I have to trust
Every man is a good man until he sees the one
Then I pull his trigger, I release his gun
Deception and protection are all he knows
Unravel them all I expose
Brewing inside my lonely heart
Soon I'll make him my sweet tart

Jealousy
Soon I'll release

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

(Shoot the gun, I'll be the one)

Fire in the rain, on a hell beant summer night
Ice in my veins as I take the final bite
It's all very lovely, when we get to know each other
Call me the parasite as I inject my, CYANIDE 
Birds flying out of my mouth voodoo doll to use
I'll take him down south, where I later introduce
A lovely new adventure where we get to know each other
Calls me his lover oh you better take cover

Jealousy
Soon I'll release

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

I have an infatuation for the untouchable
I only want what I can't have
Envy, won't, leave, me
I guess you could say that I've gone to shit
You would never understand my pretense
Jealousy, won't, leave, me

Now the boy he has to decide
Which road he will soon reside
Put on a brave face and lose control
Or wear the mask and bare her soul
Deep down I know the truth
The dark kind I don't dwell on
This game will never last
Kiss me goodbye I'm in the past

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one

Curtain call
Behind the scenes we have a ball
Our bodies dance we combine as one
Our hearts throb to the beat of my song, is it wrong
Camera lights 
Like our own moonlight 
Elegant, glamorous and best of all
You kept my fire burnin'
Answer my final question

Will, will you be my JFK

Starstruck lovers oh we pla-a-a-a-ay

Starstruck lovers oh we pla-a-a-a-ay

You booked seats in the front row
Wanted a slice of famous Monroe
Melodical so logical 
You set me free

Devils tango I shed my skin
Durable, rubber

Will, will you be my JFK 
Will, will you be my JFK 
Will, will you be my real baby 
Starstruck lovers oh we pla-a-a-a-ay
Will, will you be my JFK 
Will, will you be my JFK 
I'll be MARILYN for you baby 
Starstruck lovers oh we pla-a-a-a-ay

Love and war
It isn't fair
I only wanted you boo
Riches, bouquet  
Won't save me from dismay
Now I ask the final question

Will, will you be my JFK 
Will, will you be my JFK 
Will, will you be my real baby 
Starstruck lovers oh we pla-a-a-a-ay
Will, will you be my JFK 
Will, will you be my JFK 
I'll be MARILYN for you baby 
Starstruck lovers oh we pla-a-a-a-ay

Lyrics:

Lights out it's time to run
The thoughts come out past sun
loneliness and hunger is that all I possess
Carry me to my bed
Let me play with myself
I'll imagine all the things that we’ll never do

Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah
Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah

Midnight and I'm alone
Millions couldn't hold
Me captive from the thoughts that come late at night
Beauty and the rage
Got me blinded in the haze
Lay me in my dreams you come visit me at night

Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah
Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah

Late at night, baby I'm the knife
I'll pierce your skin
I'm deep in your mind
Late at night, babe its you and I
We’ll get to know each other
Jealousy, jealousy and deceit
I'll never be her
I'm a PIECE OF MEAT
Baby boy, baby boy it's me
I'm your own reflection

Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah
Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah

Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah
Can I be YOUR GIRL
Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah

Track sixteen on Ben Mercedez's album Hollywood Idol, "Lovesick Boy"

"Hollywood Idol" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost
LOVESICK BOY
You know I've gone astray

Every day I linger away
Lusting for the one
Every day I teeter halfway
Between life and the shooting gun

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost
LOVESICK BOY
You know I've gone astray

Someday we’ll run away
Or that's what you promised me
Someday I'll have the final say
I’ll be free from the dance we play

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost
LOVESICK BOY
You know I've gone astray

You'll meet me in the back
Yeah I'll just take off
They won't know
I can keep a secret
I have a few myself
Well I know we're different
But I can navigate that
We can both get something from this
No one has to know

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost
LOVESICK BOY
You know I've gone astray

Track seventeen on Ben Mercedez's album Hollywood Idol, "C'est la Vie"

"Hollywood Idol" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

Follow me, be so carefree
Oh, life's so blessed with so much jubilee
Center stage, come see me play
I'll perform life's greatest, cliche

Paradise is what we could be
If it was only us two
They might say that were insane
They'll never understand our game

Down the hole, here I go again
I was lured into the lion's den
Learn from this, ignore pure bliss 
Don't be fooled by an untimely kiss

Paradise is what we could be
If it was only us two
They might say that were insane
They'll never understand our game

Come with me, let's be carefree
I lust for jewels and diamond fantasies
Take me there, I'll give you my share
You can corrupt me so, happily

Paradise is what we could be
If it was only us two
They might say that were insane
They'll never understand our game

Released: Mar 7 2025

Track fourteen on Ben Mercedez's album Hollywood Idol, "End of Time"

"Hollywood Idol" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

The chandelier fell on her
The lights lost in a blur 
This was the END OF TIMEs they warned
She would turn the television on 
It wouldn't outdo her wrongs
My head starts to spin around

Parade round the town I feel like the pharaoh of Cairo
Was the hurricane now you find me in the chateau  
I have fire in my mind living on borrowed time
Lonely nights I self destruct oh it's just my good luck

Nothing lasts forever
The world just keeps moving on
All I wanted was your love
No such thing as paradise
Baby it's the END OF TIME
I got lost on the climb

Poseidon used to rule the sea
Before we ravaged it with glee
Now it was the END OF TIME
Final farewell I bid
All the legacy they undid
They all laughed as I soon drowned
Beyond the grave I wonder
Was I their favorite thunder

Diamonds on my neck I guess I'm really living life
L.A. is on flames as I speed down the 405
When they find me in the hotel maybe they will know
Lonely nights I self destruct guess I reaped what I sowed

Nothing lasts forever
The world just keeps moving on
All I wanted was your love
No such thing as paradise
Baby it's the END OF TIME
I got lost on the climb

Standing on the ledge I look down see the hell of it
Sick of pretending I want to rule without love
I get so tired and scared of myself
Midnight it gets lonely I face the cards I was dealt

(I was dealt)

Nothing lasts forever
The world just keeps moving on
All I wanted was your love
No such thing as paradise
Baby it's the END OF TIME
I got lost on the climb

Nothing lasts forever
When you're the big spender
I leave with a final bow
'Cause baby it's the END OF TIME

Released: Mar 7 2025

Track thirteen on Ben Mercedez's album Hollywood Idol, "Hollywood Idol: ACT III"

"Hollywood Idol" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

Don't you cry when it is done
The moon always eclipses the sun
In night the angel spreads its wings
The world moves onto better things
Don't you cry miss MARILYN
Born to blossom soon perish
It's a sign of the times we live in
Break a bone and make a wish

They called me a star
I shined from here to Mars
I was born to ambition
I wanted what I couldn't have
No one asked if I was ok 

Don't you cry when it is done
The moon always eclipses the sun
In night the angel spreads its wings
The world moves onto better things
Don't you cry miss MARILYN
Born to blossom soon perish
It's a sign of the times we live in
Break a bone and make a wish

Take a dive deep in the pond
Throw your soul away in fog
Try to lose it in the music
Gone to soon another lunatic 
Take your violets, reds and blues
Or keep dancing in those shoes
Take us to church tear it down
You were always the saddest clown
