TITANIUM HEART
She walked in like a storm, eyes of azure fire
Golden hair cascading down, a siren's sweet desire
Caught in her electric spell, I fell into her trance
In that neon-bathed cathedral, we danced a devil's dance

I whispered my confessions, secrets in the dark
She smiled with hidden meanings, left an aching mark
Our nights were endless, filled with whispered sighs
But beneath her silken touch, there lurked a thousand lies

(Chorus)
Oh, my titanium heart, forged in flames of her deceit
In her arms I found my ruin, in her kiss my swift defeat
She promised me forever, then tore my soul apart
Left me bleeding in the shadows, with my titanium heart

She was a goddess in the strobe lights, her laughter like a knife
I was just another victim, in her twisted game of life
We painted dreams in midnight hues, on the canvas of our nights
But every brushstroke bore her name, her love a mask of spite

I gave her all my memories, laid bare my fragile soul
She reveled in my weakness, took pleasure in control
Our moments turned to ashes, as the dawn revealed her guise
She walked away, a phantom, with my heart in her cold eyes

(Chorus)
Oh, my titanium heart, forged in flames of her deceit
In her arms I found my ruin, in her kiss my swift defeat
She promised me forever, then tore my soul apart
Left me bleeding in the shadows, with my titanium heart

Now I stand alone in silence, haunted by her face
A beautiful illusion, vanished without trace
The nights are endless echoes of the love we could have been
A bitter serenade, in the shadows where I've been

(Chorus)
Oh, my titanium heart, forged in flames of her deceit
In her arms I found my ruin, in her kiss my swift defeat
She promised me forever, then tore my soul apart
Left me bleeding in the shadows, with my titanium heart

She was the light that blinded, the fire that burned me whole
Now I wander through the ashes, a ghost without a goal
In the ruins of our passion, where love and pain collide
My titanium heart beats on, though the dreams have died

Titanium Heart

(Verse 1)
Dripping slow, feel it in my veins,
Pulse kicks in, can’t escape the chains.
Sweet like honey, burns like sin,
You’re the vice I let under my skin.
Every taste, a little bit darker,
Every move pulls me in farther.
Venom’s kiss, can’t turn away,
Your shadow’s the price I’m willing to pay.

(Pre-Chorus)
I’m dancing with danger, chasing the thrill,
Every heartbeat bends to your will.
No cure, no antidote, just this void,
Twisted bliss I can’t avoid.

(Chorus)
The poison, it’s running through me,
Twisting, turning, won’t set me free.
The poison, I’m losing control,
But I crave it, yeah, it’s taking my soul.
Keep it coming, don’t stop now,
Toxic love, can’t figure how.
The poison—dark and divine,
You’re the shadow crawling through my mind.

(Verse 2)
Black lights flicker, silhouettes collide,
Your venom’s the only truth I can’t hide.
Heartbeat drops, the floor’s on fire,
Every step feeds my desire.
Your touch burns, but I beg for more,
Heaven’s gone, I’m locked in your war.
Pulse fades out, surrender complete,
Your toxin’s the devil I can’t defeat.

(Pre-Chorus)
Spinning faster, lost in your maze,
Drunk on the chaos, high on the haze.
No way back, it’s written in blood,
Your love’s the flood, and I’m the mud.

(Chorus)
The poison, it’s running through me,
Twisting, turning, won’t set me free.
The poison, I’m losing control,
But I crave it, yeah, it’s taking my soul.
Keep it coming, don’t stop now,
Toxic love, can’t figure how.
The poison—dark and divine,
You’re the shadow crawling through my mind.

(Bridge)
Every drop’s a deadly sin,
Your poison’s where I end and begin.
Eyes like fire, voice like smoke,
Every word a chain, every kiss a choke.
And I’m not running, not pulling away,
I’ll drink you down, come what may.
Twisted love in the blackest night,
You’re the poison, but it feels so right.

(Breakdown)
(Whispered vocals over heavy beat)
It’s in my blood, it’s in my bones,
I’m not afraid to die alone.
Your poison flows, it’s all I need,
A wicked love, a toxic creed.

(Chorus)
The poison, it’s running through me,
Twisting, turning, won’t set me free.
The poison, I’m losing control,
But I crave it, yeah, it’s taking my soul.
Keep it coming, don’t stop now,
Toxic love, can’t figure how.
The poison—dark and divine,
You’re the shadow crawling through my mind.

(Outro)
(Low, echoing vocals)
The poison...
I let it in...
The poison...
I let you win...

The Poison

Intro
I wasn’t looking,
But you found me anyway.
A quiet moment,
And suddenly, nothing felt the same.

Verse 1
You move like something I can’t contain,
A perfect rhythm, a spark in the rain.
The world slows down when you walk by,
Like gravity bends just to keep you in sight.

I lose my words, I lose my breath,
Every heartbeat pounds against my chest.
You are the pull I can’t deny,
Something too perfect, something too right.

Pre-Chorus
And I wonder if you know,
The way you make the night glow.
Like every step has led to this,
Like fate had planned it with a kiss.

Chorus
You are beautiful, in every way,
More than words could ever say.
You are fire, you are light,
The reason day gives way to night.
You are everything, the highest high,
The quiet breath, the whispered sky.
You are my one, you are my truth,
You are beautiful… and you always will be.

Verse 2
People stop and turn to see,
But you only have your eyes on me.
It makes no sense, it never should,
How something this rare is understood.

I give you every piece I am,
No hesitation, no second plan.
You are the air, the weight, the spark,
The fleeting light inside the dark.

Pre-Chorus
And I wonder if you know,
The way you make the world glow.
Like every road has led to this,
A love too strong to just dismiss.

Chorus
You are beautiful, in every way,
More than words could ever say.
You are fire, you are light,
The reason day gives way to night.
You are everything, the highest high,
The quiet breath, the whispered sky.
You are my one, you are my truth,
You are beautiful… and you always will be.

Bridge
If the stars fall and the sky fades,
If the winds change and pull me away,
I will stand, I will stay,
Nothing could ever take me away.

Chorus 
You are beautiful, in every way,
More than words could ever say.
You are fire, you are light,
The reason day gives way to night.
You are everything, the highest high,
The quiet breath, the whispered sky.
You are my one, you are my truth,
You are beautiful… and you always will be.

Outro
I wasn’t looking,
But you found me anyway.
And now I see,
You’re all I’ll ever need.

Beautiful

Intro
I never saw you coming,
Like lightning in a quiet sky.
One moment, just a stranger,
Then suddenly, my whole life.

Verse 1
You walked in like a dream,
I swear I felt the earth stand still.
My heart raced, my hands shook,
I swore you'd never know the thrill.

I laughed too much, I lost my breath,
Trying to hide the way I felt.
But every word, every glance,
Turned my walls into something else.

Pre-Chorus
I was scared, I was falling,
Never knew love could feel like this.
Like gravity had lost its meaning,
Like fate had sealed us with a kiss.

Chorus
The best thing about you,
You made the world shine brighter,
You turned my fears into fire,
Made my heart beat like a drum.
The best thing about you,
You made the air feel lighter,
Like every day burned higher,
Like love had just begun.
And now you're gone, but you still remain,
You're the best thing in my dreams again.

Verse 2
I’d pinch myself to make sure you were real,
A love so wild, it felt surreal.
From that first night to our last,
Time ran faster than I could grasp.

You were my stars, you were my sun,
My breath, my light, my only one.
But even perfect things can fade,
And even soulmates lose their way.

Pre-Chorus
I was scared, I was falling,
Never knew love could feel like this.
Like gravity had lost its meaning,
Like fate had sealed us with a kiss.

Chorus
The best thing about you,
You made the world shine brighter,
You turned my fears into fire,
Made my heart beat like a drum.
The best thing about you,
You made the air feel lighter,
Like every day burned higher,
Like love had just begun.
And now you're gone, but you still remain,
You're the best thing in my dreams again.

Bridge
If I could hold you one last time,
I’d tell you all the words I left behind.
But love is cruel, and time moves fast,
And all I have are echoes of our past.

Instrumental Break

Chorus (Final, climactic)
The best thing about you,
You made the world shine brighter,
You turned my fears into fire,
Made my heart beat like a drum.
The best thing about you,
You made the air feel lighter,
Like every day burned higher,
Like love had just begun.
And now you're gone, but you still remain,
You're the best thing in my dreams again.

Outro
Every night, every dream,
You're still right there next to me.
The best thing about you…
You’ll always be.

The Best Thing About You

I tried to hold you through the night,
But you were lost inside your mind.
Fighting ghosts I couldn’t see,
A war you waged before you met me.

Verse 1
You built your walls so high,
A fortress made of tears and time.
I climbed and bled, I swore I’d stay,
But some scars never fade away.

You spoke in silence, buried deep,
Haunted by things you couldn’t keep.
You tried to love but pulled away,
I tried to fix what I couldn’t save.

Pre-Chorus
You were lost before I found you,
Drowning in a past that drowns you.
I tried to fight, I tried to stay,
But some things never go away.

Chorus
It’s nobody’s fault, but it still hurts,
I tried to love you, but love made it worse.
I gave you my hands, I gave you my soul,
But some hearts are just too cold.
It’s nobody’s fault, we played our part,
But you can’t love when you’ve lost your heart.
So I let go, I broke free,
Some things aren’t meant to be.

Verse 2
You wore your pain like second skin,
A battle lost before it could begin.
Every whisper, every sigh,
Felt like echoes from another life.

I saw the way you looked through me,
Like love was just a cruel disease.
No matter how I tried to heal,
The past was always far too real.

Pre-Chorus
You were lost before I found you,
Drowning in a past that drowns you.
I tried to fight, I tried to stay,
But some things never go away.

Chorus
It’s nobody’s fault, but it still hurts,
I tried to love you, but love made it worse.
I gave you my hands, I gave you my soul,
But some hearts are just too cold.
It’s nobody’s fault, we played our part,
But you can’t love when you’ve lost your heart.
So I let go, I broke free,
Some things aren’t meant to be.

Bridge
I don’t blame you, I don’t blame me,
Some wounds run too deep to see.
I gave you light, but you chose the dark,
And love was never meant to be this hard.

Chorus
It’s nobody’s fault, but it still hurts,
I tried to love you, but love made it worse.
I gave you my hands, I gave you my soul,
But some hearts are just too cold.
It’s nobody’s fault, we played our part,
But you can’t love when you’ve lost your heart.
So I let go, I broke free,
Some things aren’t meant to be.

Outro
I tried to hold you through the night…
But you were lost inside your mind.
Some things can’t be changed…
Some things aren’t meant to stay.

Nobody's Fault

What Have I Done

Fragments (pieces Remix)

Glass Skin

Star In The Sky

Quicksand

Neon veins, plastic skin,
Sell your soul just to fit in.
They carve your name into the sky,
But tell me, how does it feel inside?

Cameras flashing like a war zone,
Painted smiles in monochrome.
They love you now, but wait and see,
When the tide turns, will you still be free?

Fame—
It lifts you up just to watch you drown.
Fame—
A hollow crown, do you hear the sound?
Of voices screaming, tearing through,
But none of them belong to you.

Dress in gold, wrap your sins,
Trade your truth for the highest bid.
They build you high, they make you shine,
But burn too bright, and they leave you blind.

Echoes haunt you down the halls,
Reflections cracking in the walls.
They gave you love, but it’s not real,
Just a mirror that won’t feel.

Fame—
It lifts you up just to watch you drown.
Fame—
A hollow crown, do you hear the sound?
Of voices screaming, tearing through,
But none of them belong to you.

Do they see you?
Or just your name?
Do they love you?
Or just the fame?

Fame… it fades…
Fame… it fades…

Fame

You lit up rooms like city lights,
Burned so bright you blurred the lines.
Every moment felt too fast,
Every sunrise, built to crash.

Then one night, you turned on me,
Told me to go, told me to leave.
No warning signs, no reasons why,
Just the fire in your eyes.



[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t fight, I didn’t stay,
I thought you just pushed love away.
Now I see the weight you bore,
Now I know, but you’re not here anymore.


[Chorus]
Take me back, back to the beginning,
Before the highs turned into distance.
If I had known the storm was in your head,
I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

Take me back, before the quiet,
Before the echoes turned to silence.
If I had known the storm ahead,
I’d have stayed, I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

I still hear the way you screamed,
Your voice still haunts me in my dreams.
You pushed me out, but now I see,
You weren’t leaving—you were losing you and me.

I should have stayed outside your door,
I should have fought, I should have sworn,
To pull you back before you fell,
But I just listened when you yelled.


[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t fight, I didn’t stay,
I thought you just pushed love away.
Now I see the weight you bore,
Now I know, but you’re not here anymore.

[Final Chorus]
Take me back, back to the beginning,
Before the highs turned into distance.
If I had known the storm was in your head,
I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

Take me back, before the quiet,
Before the echoes turned to silence.
If I had known the storm ahead,
I’d have stayed, I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

Storm in Your Head

Step right up...
No rules. No shame. No turning back.
Welcome... to the FREAKSHOW.

Lights flash like a fever dream
Bodies twisted in a laser beam
Glitter, sweat, and leather skin
No one knows where we’ve been

Lips locked in a stranger’s dare
Masks on but we don’t care
Champagne rain, lose control
This night’s got no moral code

You feel the build, it’s not pretend
Reality bends, the rules all end
One more hit, one more sin
This freakshow’s just about to begin...

Welcome to the freakshow, anything goes
High heels, halos, glitter and glow
We don’t stop, we just lose control
Midnight hits, and we sell our souls

Freakshow, freakshow, dance with the unknown
Freakshow, freakshow, welcome to the zone
Bodies clash and the bass explodes
This ain’t a party—it’s a full-blown overload

"Freakshow… ohhh… let it go…"
"Freakshow… you already know…"

Lick the flame, play the game
Tattooed hearts and neon names
Smoke machines and velvet ropes
We’re flying high with no hope

Wild eyes, blacklight skin
This circus loves original sin
You don’t leave the way you came
No one here’s ever the same

Drum’s insane, the ceiling shakes
Heels break, the whole floor quakes
No safe words, no escape
Just pulse and sweat and shapeshape-shape...

Welcome to the freakshow, anything goes
Saints turn savage, angels pose
We don’t sleep, we don’t say no
This is chaos dressed in a disco glow

Freakshow, freakshow, turn up the heat
Freakshow, freakshow, lose the beat
Freakshow, freakshow, break the code
This ain’t a party—it’s an overload

Lights out...
Minds blown...
Who's real...
Who knows...
Just let go...
It’s the FREAKSHOW...

"Freakshow... Freakshow..."
“We never leave the same…”

Step right up...
No rules. No shame. No turning back.
Welcome... to the FREAKSHOW.

Lights flash like a fever dream
Bodies twisted in a laser beam
Glitter, sweat, and leather skin
No one knows where we’ve been

Lips locked in a stranger’s dare
Masks on but we don’t care
Champagne rain, lose control
This night’s got no moral code

You feel the build, it’s not pretend
Reality bends, the rules all end
One more hit, one more sin
This freakshow’s just about to begin...

Welcome to the freakshow, anything goes
High heels, halos, glitter and glow
We don’t stop, we just lose control
Midnight hits, and we sell our souls

Freakshow, freakshow, dance with the unknown
Freakshow, freakshow, welcome to the zone
Bodies clash and the bass explodes
This ain’t a party—it’s a full-blown overload

"Freakshow… ohhh… let it go…"
"Freakshow… you already know…"

Lick the flame, play the game
Tattooed hearts and neon names
Smoke machines and velvet ropes
We’re flying high with no hope

Wild eyes, blacklight skin
This circus loves original sin
You don’t leave the way you came
No one here’s ever the same

Drum’s insane, the ceiling shakes
Heels break, the whole floor quakes
No safe words, no escape
Just pulse and sweat and shapeshape-shape...

Welcome to the freakshow, anything goes
Saints turn savage, angels pose
We don’t sleep, we don’t say no
This is chaos dressed in a disco glow

Freakshow, freakshow, turn up the heat
Freakshow, freakshow, lose the beat
Freakshow, freakshow, break the code
This ain’t a party—it’s an overload

Lights out...
Minds blown...
Who's real...
Who knows...
Just let go...
It’s the FREAKSHOW...

"Freakshow... Freakshow..."
“We never leave the same…”

Freakshow

YEEEEEEEAH!!!
WE’RE TAKIN’ YOU TO THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE!
TO THE STARS!
TO THE LASERS!
TO THE LIMITS OF HUMAN BASS!!!
COME ON!

One time for the ravers!
Two times for the dreamers!
Three times for the people who never went home!
This is the sound of the underground zone!

Hands up high like a satellite dish,
Feel that beat grant your wish —
We don't stop, we don't sleep,
We just ride that rhythm DEEP!

I can feel it…
Rising in me…
In the starlight…
Electric ecstasy…

F-R-E-A-K THE FREQUENCY!
FEEL THE POWER INSIDE OF ME!
TRANCE IS LIFE! TRANCE IS LOVE!
PUT YOUR FISTS IN THE SKY ABOVE!

Electric ecstasy, running through my veins
We light up the night like a thousand planes
Hearts beat faster, lights go blind
This is the rave we’ll never rewind!

Bass so thick it’ll melt your face!
We race through space with a dirty bass!
No rules here, no regret —
This is the night you won’t forget!

From Tokyo to Berlin Town,
We turn this planet upside down!
So hold on tight and feel that spark —
We ride the light into the dark!

I close my eyes…
The world dissolves…
The beat takes hold…
My soul evolves…

Electric ecstasy, running through my core
We came for the beat, but we’re screaming for MORE!
Hearts beat louder, time stands still…
We were born to RAVE — and always will!

HANDS UP!
NO SLEEP!
NO RULES!
NO GRAVITY!
THIS IS—
ELECTRIC… ECCCCSTAAAAASYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
BOOM.

© 2025 Lyrics and Music by Chris Bourke. All Rights Reserved.

ELECTRIC ECSTASY

You feel that?
That’s not fear.
That’s your mind fighting itself.

Runnin' in circles, static in my brain
Lights go flash and I'm not the same
Sick in the head, wired to explode
Heartbeat thumps like a bomb on the road

Psy-cho-so-matic!
Can’t control the static!
Psy-cho-so-matic!
Boom, it’s automatic!

Teeth grind sharp in a dopamine storm
Flesh on fire but my blood stays warm
Thoughts glitch out like a VHS fade
Who needs truth when chaos is made?

I see sounds.
I taste fear.
I burn bright…
But I disappear.

Psychosomatic! (hey!)
Psychosomatic! (yeah!)
Break it down, shut it off, turn it UP!

Psy-cho-so-matic!
(Mind’s gone erratic!)
Breakbeat addict!
(Snap like elastic!)
No escape, no control
Wired deep inside your soul
Psychosomatic…
Lose your head and pay the toll

Click.
Buzz.
Silence...
And then it starts again.
