“We Only Exist At Night” is a whisper in the dark — a soft, seductive anthem for the kind of love that disappears with the sun. Performed from the female POV, Astrul captures the ache and allure of a connection that only breathes after hours.

She doesn’t want promises.
She doesn’t need daylight.
She just wants the silence, the shadows, and the heat between two people who know they’re better left undefined.

Dreamy, delicate, and a little dangerous, this is a song for the ones who never post about it… but feel everything.

We Only Exist At Night

She said hi like it meant something
I thought "What does she want from me?"
Pretty eyes, too much grace
I laughed and looked the other way

She asked questions I didn’t hear
I answered like a volunteer
Thought she was bored, just killing time
Didn’t know she was crossing lines

She made me talk, made me feel seen
Asked about my childhood dreams
I thought, "She’s sweet, but not for real..."
But hearts don’t care what fools conceal

Didn’t think she could — but she did
Crawled in slow, then tore off the lid
I thought I knew the game, thought I stood
Above the fall, above the flood
Didn’t think she could break me clean
With half a smile and in-between
I looked away, thought she was bluffin’
Now I sit here asking “How did this happen?”

She took her time, didn’t rush
Read me like a paperback crush
Made me believe I had control
While she was gently digging holes

A thousand texts, a midnight call
A joke I made — she laughed too small
She never said “I’m yours” or “stay”
But somehow, I gave it all anyway

She never promised, never lied
Just made me feel... then stepped aside
Like I was just a warm-up act
In her slow romantic sneak attack

Didn’t think she could — but she did
Built a castle, then closed the lid
Left a note, not even signed
Took my calm and scrambled my mind
Didn’t think she could, not like this
She turned a shrug into a kiss
Then walked away like nothin’ happened
And I sit here asking “How did this happen?”

I thought I was the clever one
Who saw right through the games she'd run
But turns out... she wasn't chasing
She was choosing
Then… erasing

Didn’t think she could — oh God, she did
Tore through me like a breaking bid
Smiled once, and now I'm wrecked
A man unmade by intellect
Didn’t think she’d want to win
But she took my heart and mailed it in
I said “She’s nice, but she’s not my type”
Turns out, heartbreak wears pearls and stripes

Didn’t think...
Didn’t think…
Didn’t think she could.

But she did.

Didn’t Think She Could

Last Call For The Broken

Sometimes the love that changes us isn’t loud or flashy—it just stays. “When You Sat With Me” tells the story of grace that sits in our mess, listens to our doubts, and refuses to leave when we’re at our lowest. This is a song for anyone who’s ever needed a friend who doesn’t flinch at brokenness. If you’ve ever wondered whether love would stick around after you lost your faith, this is your answer.

When You Sat With Me

Are we truly
.....suitably aligned
or is it me being
.....crucially love blind?
Are we truly
.....suitably aligned
or is it me being
.....crucially love blind?

I can be so foolish-
I get fooled all the time.
.....Lust is just not love.
OH!
.....Lust is just not love.
I want something deeper.
He needs to be a keeper.
I'm looking for a real man,
not just a lusty
.....one night stand.
I can be so foolish-
I get fooled all the time.
.....Lust is just not love.
OH!
.....Lust is just not love.
I want something deeper.
He needs to be a keeper.
I'm looking for a real man,
not just a lusty
.....one night stand.

One true romance.

TRUE ROMANCE

“A CANDLE IN RETROGRADE” flickers against the pull of fate — a song wrapped in warped time and soft disintegration. Lilith’s voice shimmers through reversed melodies and slow-motion echoes, like a spell trying to remember its own words. It burns backwards: gentle, cursed, and divine. A hymn for when the stars fall out of order and you light a flame anyway.

A Candle In Retrograde

Country-pop demo. Lyrics available at: https://youtu.be/Ht7B9jJ2mtM

Indiana

Verse 1
Struggles, problems, disappointments
Can occupy my mind
Enigmatic doubts arriving
At the wrong time

Finally when I’ve had enough
And I take the time to pray
I discover that’s the time when
Things begin to change

Chorus 1
Here they come
Blessings from above
Given by my gracious God
Because of His love
Here they come
Descending like a dove
Blessings from the Lord my God
Because of His love
Because of His love

Verse 2
Unexpected difficulties
With sorrows intertwined
Keep me watching keep me waiting
For Your blessings to arrive
Ever mindful that the present
Can change so easily
You could make the sun stand still
That's why I believe

Chorus 2
Here they come
Blessings from above
Given by my gracious God
Because of His love
Here they come
Descending like a dove
Blessings from the Lord my God
Because of His love
Because of His love

Bridge
Nothing is impossible with God
Nothing is impossible with God  
Mountain moving faith can be so small
But Nothing is impossible with God 
 
Outro
Here they come
Blessings from above
Given by my gracious God
Because of His love

Here they come
Descending like a dove
Blessings from the Lord my God
Because of His love
Oh nothing is impossible with God 

Blessings From Above

Fight for Hope
[Verse]
When the night feels cold and dark we roam
Through the shadows we must carve a home
Every tear a stone to pave the way
In the quiet heart
The fight will stay

[Chorus]
Fight for hope when it hides from view
Chase the dawn through the stormy blue
Hold the spark though the winds combust
Build a bridge from your broken trust

[Verse 2]
The whispers tell us dreams are all but gone
Yet in the silence strength is built upon
The smallest flicker can set skies ablaze
In the ashes new beginnings raise

[Chorus]
Fight for hope when it hides from view
Chase the dawn through the stormy blue
Hold the spark though the winds combust
Build a bridge from your broken trust

[Bridge]
The mountain looms but your soul can climb
The hourglass begs yet it’s not your time
Through the hurt and the cracks you grow
Unearth the stars beneath the snow

[Chorus]
Fight for hope when it hides from view
Chase the dawn through the stormy blue
Hold the spark though the winds combust
Build a bridge from your broken trust

Fight for Hope

First Kiss
