Name: Not Your Puppet Special Version by Bethany Van Klei
Duration: 3 min 4 s
Description: A bold anthem of spiritual defiance and divine purpose—rejecting control, (politicians with bad intentions) embracing truth, and rising with fire, grace, and unwavering faith.

I've been marching to the beat of my own drummer since I was ten years old and I REJECT, REBEL AGAINST, FIGHT, all who try to impose power over me in any way, shape, or form!!! GREAT SONG!

Left at the Window

She DGAF

Like a Storm

(Intro)

(Verse 1)
I sat down quiet, heart undone,
Beneath the blooms that caught the sun.
Their petals whispered soft and low—
More than I’d ever need to know.

(Chorus)
You are not alone, not ever alone.
Live bold. Risk deep. Let echoes keep.
You are never, ever alone.

(Verse 2)
The gravel sighed beneath my knees,
The air was full of orchid breeze.
A white cat blinked and stayed nearby,
And watched the sorrow leave my eye.

(Chorus)
You are not alone, not ever alone.
Live bold. Risk deep. Let echoes keep.
You are never, ever alone.

(Verse 3)
No thunder rolled, no shadows stirred,
Just stillness deeper than a word.
And in that hush, I felt it clear—
The kind of love that holds you near.

(Chorus)
You are not alone, not ever alone.
Live bold. Risk deep. Let echoes keep.
You are never, ever alone.

(final chorus)
You are not alone, not ever alone.
Live bold. Risk deep. Let echoes keep.
You are never, ever alone.

Outro (whispered)
You are never, ever alone.
Style of Music

Never, Ever Alone

Love me forever

[Verse 1]
He’s always chillin’ with his boys,
Smokin’ cigar, losing cash in the casino.
Every night he’s out, out at the club,
He is Never home, always got some other plan lined up.
Never shows you respect,
Flirts with your friends behind your back.
He acts like he’s the man,
But you know he's not

[Pre-Chorus]
I could give you real love
Beach villas, take you overseas,
I’m the King, You have my number
Just dial in and you’ll see it.

[Chorus]
Your man should be like me,
He should be making love to you, 
instead he is watching TV
I'd take you on......,
Private jets in the sky,
Treat you like royalty
Your man needs moves like Chico,
Luxury trips, Paris to Puerto Rico.
Presidential suite,
Making Love under the stars, 
When you’re with me, you know you’re with the king.

[Verse 2]
Ever been loved down on cold marble floors?
I’m a next-level lover, not like the ones before.
Make you feel the way you have never felt with him
Velvet massages, steam in the pool, 
Let’s make love in the pent house suite.
You call, I come running; every single time,
You moan, your voice becomes my favorite rhyme.

[Pre-Chorus]
I could give you all night long,
Villas lit by the sea,
I’m the one you need
You know where to find me. 

[Chorus]
Your man needs to be like me,
Not just scrolling Instagram endlessly.
Diamonds, flights,
Every city every night,
He needs to be like the king.
Your man needs to be like me
Private beaches, private butlers.
Cos when you with me? 
You live your dream life
Every moment, every second.

Be With Me

When The Rain Washes Us Away

A bold anthem of spiritual defiance and divine purpose—rejecting control, (politicians with bad intentions) embracing truth, and rising with fire, grace, and unwavering faith.

02 - Midnight Revival

I Don’t Love. I Burn.

(Verse 1)
You taste the smoke on my breath before we even kiss
You trace the fault lines on my skin with your soft fingertips
I whisper warnings made of glass, I tell you they will break
You just smile that foolish smile and lean into the flame

(Chorus)
'Cause I don’t love. I burn.
A wildfire in a human form, a lesson you won’t learn.
I turn your garden into ash, your safety into storm…
And still… you return.

(Verse 2)
You wear my scorch marks like a crown, a map of where you’ve been
Show them off to worried friends who ask you ‘how’ and ‘when’
And you explain me like a hurricane, a thing you can’t contain
A holy, cleansing, perfect kind of devastating rain

(Chorus)
But I don’t love. I burn.
A wildfire in a human form, a lesson you won’t learn.
I turn your garden into ash, your safety into storm…
And still… you return.

(Bridge)
Don't you think I see the ghost of what you used to be?
That steady light inside your eyes before you gave the key to me?
But a fire has to feed, my dear, it can’t just warm the room…
You come to me to feel alive… I am your chosen tomb.

(Guitar Solo: Slow, bluesy, and full of space. Each note bends and cries, dripping with soul and a sense of beautiful decay. It sounds like weeping, then acceptance.)

(Final Chorus)
(Softly, almost a confession)
I don’t love… I just burn.
A collapsing star, a final turn, a lesson you can’t learn.
I’ll be the last thing that you see, the only thing you earn…

(Outro)
(Vocals become a hypnotic, layered whisper over the fading bassline)
And still… you return.
To the heat.
To the ash.
…You whisper my name.
(A single piano chord rings out and fades to silence.)

I Don’t Love. I Burn.
