hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Verse 2
Letters bled,
Ink like rain.
Words we said—
Now just stain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Bridge
Ash and thread,
Bones and dust.
What we fed
Turned to rust.
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Final Chorus
Echoed cries,
Still remain.
Ghosts arise—
Whisper pain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,

Dust Devil Dance

✨🤍🙏🔊✨

(Verse 1)
You slide in like static on the radio
Midnight perfume, dressed in vertigo
Eyes like crime scenes, lips a cigarette
I lit your fuse, but I’m the one who’s wrecked

(Pre-Chorus)
You said, “Love’s a game,” and I’m a bad sport
Always chasing hearts I can’t afford

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Verse 2)
We danced like secrets on the fire escape
Your laugh was louder than my big mistakes
I should’ve known from the start,
You play guitars like you play hearts

(Pre-Chorus)
Said “Don’t get close,” but pulled me in tight
I lost my head in your blacklight

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Bridge)
And now your ghost is in my speakers
Singing lies in perfect pitch
I tried to quit you cold,
But you're the needle and the itch

(Final Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
I’d light you up all over again
Even if it burns, I’ll take the flame
You're the bruise that feels like fame
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Love like yours should be restricted

The core message of "Break Before I'm Broken" is a poignant reflection on the self-inflicted suffering caused by anticipatory anxiety and fear of an uncertain future. The song explores the human tendency to torment oneself with imagined scenarios and potential pain that may never materialize, highlighting how worry can become a "poison" that consumes the present. It conveys the struggle of being trapped in a cycle of dread, fighting battles in the mind before they occur, and living "nightmares" that are not yet real. The rap verse intensifies this by depicting the emotional weight of carrying these fears, while the bridge, with its female vocalist, offers a moment of clarity, urging the listener to embrace the present and let go of the need to control or fear the future. Ultimately, the song encourages breaking free from the prison of preemptive suffering, advocating for living fully in the moment and finding peace by releasing the burdens of what has not yet come.

Not A Love Song

Ride the snake forever.
Looking to the serpent's eyes.
History of the world.
Is on his scales.
Ignore it at your peril.
Onward time eternal.
Destroyer.
Hissing in the desert.
Death rattle of his tail.
Force of time and space.
Hammering the final nail.
Trapped by father time and torn.
When darkness has broken.
Let your SPIRIT come to light
Evil is seen
Evil is heard
Evil is spoken
Eyes are blinded
Ears are deafened
And tongues are silenced.
Hissing in the desert.
Death rattle of his tail.
Force of time and space.
Hammering the final nail.
Good and evil.
Inside the god seed of your mind.
Nothing but a voice and you.
Hissing in the desert.
Death rattle of his tail.
Force of time and space.
Hammering the final nail.
Lost the lies and greed and hatred.
The signals of dystopian power.
Corruption.
Hissing in the desert.
Death rattle of his tail.
Force of time and space.
Hammering the final nail.
Hissing in the desert.
Death rattle of his tail.
Force of time and space.
Hammering the final nail.

DSYTOPIA

BRO tells stories of failure, loss, and pressure – but never gives in.
„No Surrender“ is a song about rising again and again, even when no one expects it. Exams, heartbreak, broken deals – life throws punches, but the voice behind this song keeps dancing through the storm. Clear, honest, and quietly defiant.

BRO erzählt von Niederlagen, Abschieden und Druck – aber gibt nie auf.
„No Surrender“ ist ein Song über das Aufstehen, wenn keiner mehr damit rechnet. Versiebte Prüfungen, verlorene Liebe, geplatzte Pläne – das Leben haut rein, doch die Stimme in diesem Song tanzt weiter durch den Sturm. Klar, direkt und leise trotzig.

No surrender

I blew my chances on a test or two
Watched the grades slip, they thought I was through
But one red mark don’t write my name
I learned to lose and play the game
Here I am, still walking the line
Missed a few shots, but I’m doing fine

I’m not going down with the storm
Still dancing, no surrender
Through the night until the dawn
I rise up and I remember
Still dancing, no surrender

She closed the door without a sound
The silence shook, it shook the ground
But heartbreak don’t define my way
I took the hit and faced the day
Now I’m still standing on my feet
Lost her love, but kept the beat

I’m not going down with the storm
Still dancing, no surrender
Turn the dark into a song
I’m alive, I remember
Still dancing, no surrender

Some deals went south, some plans went bust
The paper burned, the steel turned rust
But numbers never wrote my song
I keep on rolling, I stay strong
The ground can shake, but I won’t back down
Lost a fight, but I kept my ground

The radio crackled, wires half-dead
A voice came through the static and said…
Even broken mornings carry me
Still dancing, still free

I’m not going down with the storm
Still dancing, no surrender
I rise, I fight, I’m reborn
Still dancing, no surrender


No Surrender
