LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Through the city lights, I glide alone
Past shadows cast by neon’s tone
The night air whispers secrets old
In this urban labyrinth, bold

[Pre-Chorus]
And as the stars hide behind the glow
I'm wandering where no one knows
My heart beats in sync with the city's pulse
Lost in a world, yet to divulge

[Chorus]
Floating through this neon sea
Memories wash over me
Silhouettes of dreams, once bright
Flicker now in the dim twilight

[Verse 2]
Echoes of laughter, a distant trace
Caught in the beams of this haunting place
The streets hum with forgotten tales
Under the sky where the moonlight pales

[Pre-Chorus]
Softly, a melody forms in the night
Carried on beams of diffused light
Each note a thread in the fabric of space
Woven with threads of silken grace

[Chorus]
Drifting in this neon glow
Where time seems to slow, then flow
Chasing shadows that never stay
All my fears, I must allay

[Bridge]
There's a solace found in the spectral haze
A quiet peace in the alley's maze
Every turn reveals parts unknown
Parts of me I've never shown

[Verse 3]
In the solitude of the afterglow
Reflections shimmer, emotions grow
I dance alone, my silhouette
A specter of joy, no regret

[Chorus]
Amidst this neon splendor, vast
I find the echoes of the past
Under the stars that watch and see
All I am and all I'll be

[Outro]
So let the night take me where it will
Through neon dreams that time can't still
In this world of light and haze
I find my soul, I find my ways

Dark Road to Nowhere, featuring Zero Dawn, is about the raw emotional turmoil experienced after the painful end of a toxic and unrequited love. The lyrics convey a sense of haunting loneliness and despair, depicting a man who feels invisible, used, and abandoned by the woman who meant everything to him. The recurring imagery of fog, shadows, and darkness symbolizes confusion, isolation, and emotional decay.

Throughout the song, the man describes his struggle to let go and move forward ("There’s a dark road leading far from the light"), but the pain of lingering memories and unresolved feelings keeps pulling him back into misery ("You're the shadow that drags me down," "I drown in the silence"). There’s a distinct resentment and bitterness, especially during the explosive drops where the singer’s emotion erupts into anger and desperation, emphasizing the trauma and frustration of feeling insufficient ("I’m not enough, never was enough").

Ultimately, the song captures a deeply personal and intense inner conflict: the yearning to break free from emotional captivity, juxtaposed against the agony of memories and unresolved feelings that make it nearly impossible to move forward.

LYRICS
I feel you slipping back
Into the fog that lingers now
The weight of your absence cuts deeper
I drown in the silence, somehow
So haunting, so cruel
There's a void that I can't break
You're the shadow that drags me down
I’m lost and I’m out, I’m out, I'm out

Yet you don’t need to play the game
You don’t need to see my scars
My heart’s a broken thing
(My heart’s a broken thing)

There’s a dark road, there’s a dark road leading far from the light
For the ghost of the love that we fight
Just let it go now
(I’m lost in the night)
There’s a dark road leading (far in the night)

I think I’ll walk alone
Through the shadows of my despair
With echoes of laughter fading away
You’re a memory I can't spare
So tragic, so real
There’s a screeching in my mind
You’re the pain that I cannot numb
I’m tired and I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone

But you don’t have to feel the strain
You don’t have to share this weight
I bury my soul here
I bury my soul
I bury my soul here
(I bury my soul)

There’s a dark road, there’s a dark road leading far from the light
For the ghost of the love that we fight
Just let it go now
(I’m lost in the night)
There’s a dark road leading (far in the night)

So go ahead-sleep without me,
While I drown where you can't see!
I gave you love, I gave you breath,
And all I got was this quiet death!

Don't say my name
Don't fake your pain
(Don't fake your pain)
I'm just a memory
(I'm just a memory)
LOST IN THE RAIN!

I scream your name into the dusk
But echoes mock me back
This house of memories is crumbling now
And all I see is black

You lit the match and walked away
Now I breathe in what remains

Cinders fall where we once stood
I burn in your disdain

{I'm screaming through the silence now)
BUT YOU DON’T CARE, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW!

My world is crushed beneath your feet,
Every promise, every lie-repeat,

I’M NOT ENOUGH!
NEVER WAS ENOUGH!

So take my heart 
And tear it up!
I'm not enough,
Never was enough,
So take my heart,
AND TEAR IT UP!

There’s a dark road, there’s a dark road leading far from the light
For the ghost of the love that we fight
Just let it go now
(I’m lost in the night)
There’s a dark road leading far from the light

Dark Road to Nowhere

“She Was Me, I Am Her” takes the familiar pop punk template and turns it into a sonic psychodrama about dissociation, two versions of the same woman trapped in a single body. The first persona (“she”) is the wounded survivor: porcelain‑fragile, heavy with memories that “tear her apart.” The second (“I”) is the present‑day narrator, raging against the weight of those memories yet terrified of letting them go. The track’s opening lines set the scene in chiaroscuro: “Shadows creeping through my heart / Faded dreams in black and white”, immediately framing the conflict as an internal film noir where past and present flicker in and out of focus.

Lyrically, cracks, porcelain, and glass recur as metaphors for both fragility and transparency: the narrator insists the fractures must remain visible, because they’re proof she survived. Lines such as “Don’t try to fix this porcelain soul / Every crack I earned, every hole” reject the external pressure to “heal” quickly; instead, they champion a raw authenticity where pain is an essential part of identity. That ethos is quintessential punk, turning personal damage into a badge rather than a blemish.

By the cathartic outro, the song lands on a bittersweet truth: duality can’t be “cured,” only navigated. “We wear the same skin but bruise in different ways / Some days we love too loud, some nights we fade in grays.” The two voices never fully reconcile, but they do strike a cease‑fire—accepting that wholeness, for some, means learning to let the discordant parts coexist. It’s a bruised but defiant anthem for anyone who has ever felt too plural, too broken, or too loud for the rooms they occupy, an invitation to scream the fracture lines into art and call that survival.

Phoenix Resurgence

From the shores to mountains high, we transcend all space
In a cloudless sky, I still see your face
Time zones fade, but our pulse stays in line
A melody of love, things are crystal clear

From the valleys to the seas, our spirits intertwine
In an endless dream, forever you’ll be mine

Over the horizon, stars begin to fall
Guided by your light, I can hear your call
With each sunrise, another promise kept
In the twilight's glow, secrets never slept

Borders disappear, we journey hand in hand
In every heartbeat, the distance we withstand
In the neon lights, reflections of your gaze
In the rhythmic hum, we're lost in the haze

From the valleys to the seas, our spirits intertwine
In an endless dream, forever you’ll be mine

Featuring Ashen Vow, "Let's Raise Some Hell Tonight" is about a man who has been silenced, belittled, and broken down enough, but instead of letting that destroy him, he uses it as fuel. He’s making a stand, refusing to pass on pain, and instead choosing to fight, heal, and roar so loudly that his truth can’t be ignored.

It’s an anthem of resilience, rage, and self-empowerment. It's a a battle cry for anyone who’s been crushed but refuses to stay down.

LYRICS:
I tuned the world out just to hear me think
Under all this noise, I found a voice
Tonight I turn it up
Dial the static down to truth
let the feedback peel the roof
If silence is a wound, then volume is the cure
I know what my heart’s for

Don’t break my heart 
I’ll stand and fight 
Step into the light 
Let’s raise some hell tonight

If I had my dreams, if I had a choice
Wouldn't turn back now, I'm hearin' my own voice
Then it hit me hard, crashin' down like waves
With a storm inside, I’m feelin' so enslaved
Been fightin' all my thoughts, this battle's never new
Take your pain and shove it, I’m breakin' right on through

Don’t break my heart
I’ll stand and fight
Step into the light
Let’s raise some hell tonight

What a twisted game, what a tight fit grip
With a heart like stone, can’t let this feeling slip
Runnin' with the wolves, never lookin' back
In this world of chaos, I’m finding my own track
Turn the volume up, let the speakers shake the ground
With a fire in my soul, in this madness, I am found

Don’t break my heart
I’ll stand and fight
Step into the light
Let’s raise some hell tonight

Scream and shout, let it out
This rage inside, no doubt
Picking up the pieces now
We’ll scream until we bow

Don’t break my heart
I’ll stand and fight
Step into the light
Let’s raise some hell tonight

I was told to bite my tongue till it bled
(Spit it out!)
“Be small,” they said, the echo in my head
(Let it out!)
If pain is a teacher, then class is in
(Level up!)
I won’t worship the wound, I weaponize the win
(Rise up!)

I won’t pass my hurt to someone else
The cycle stops here, myself with myself
Load the truth, set the record straight
We turn the weight into 808s.

Don’t break my heart
I’ll stand and fight
Step into the light
Let’s raise some hell tonight

Hands to the sky, we vow tonight
Guard the heart; keep the fire bright
If you came to heal, then stand beside
If you came to break, stand outside!

Don’t break my heart
I’ll stand and fight
Step into the light
Let’s raise some hell tonight
