Midnight

You Don’t Need Me (Metal version)

Through the Broken Veil

[Verse 1]
Under broken skies, we wear the night,
Hiding secrets out of sight.
Whispers thread the heavy air,
Silent truths too sharp to bear.
Your eyes cut deeper than the storm,
A language only we perform.
Through fractured dreams and faded pain,
Your shadow and mine remain the same.

[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the glass, behind the fear,
Your voice is all I hear.
The masks dissolve, the silence breaks,
In your touch, the real awakes.

[Chorus]
Through the broken veil, we shine,
No more secrets left to hide.
Tangled hearts, an open sky,
You and I — no need to lie.

[Verse 2]
We moved through crowds with painted faces,
Trading truth for safer places.
But in your hands, the armor fell,
No more need for a guarded shell.
In every stolen glance, I see,
The wild, the raw, the broken me.
Together now, we tear the seams,
And stitch the world from shattered dreams.

[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the glass, behind the fear,
Your voice is all I hear.
The masks dissolve, the silence breaks,
In your touch, the real awakes.

[Chorus]
Through the broken veil, we shine,
No more secrets left to hide.
Tangled hearts, an open sky,
You and I — no need to lie.

[Bridge]
Masks like ashes in the rain,
Washed away the old remains.
Your shadow in mine, stitched so tight,
We rise together through the night.

[Verse 3]
The world spins loud, it twists, it screams,
But we are anchored in our dreams.
Through every scar, through every fight,
Your love has been my guiding light.
No longer fractured, no longer torn,
In your arms, I am reborn.
Your shadow and mine, fierce and bright,
A dance of flame in endless night.

[Chorus]
Through the broken veil, we shine,
No more secrets left to hide.
Tangled hearts, an open sky,
You and I — no need to lie.

[Outro]
Through shattered dreams, through heavy skies,
We found our truth, we found our rise.
Your shadow in mine, forever free,
Together now, eternally.

Through the Broken Veil

I was thinking of the  scarifiece every service man or woman makes when they leave for war - their one last night with their loved one

[Verse 1]
Close… like skin to skin, no sound
We move… but never touch the ground
Your pulse… I feel it through the haze
We’re lost… in this slow-burning daze

[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers curl around my spine
Every sigh a secret sign
Pull me deeper, draw me in
Where the silence wears your skin

[Chorus]
Mmm… stay with me here (mmm)
In the dark where we disappear
Ahh… don’t speak, just breathe (ahh)
In the rhythm… you and me

[Verse 2]
Eyes… closed but I still see
Every breath a melody
Time… fades beneath the heat
In your touch, I find the beat

[Bridge]
Mouth to mouth, no words remain
Only fire beneath the rain
Let it echo, soft and slow
Where we end, we never know

[Final Chorus]
Mmm… stay with me here (mmm)
In the dark where we disappear
Ahh… don’t speak, just breathe (ahh)
In the rhythm… you and me

(Ahh… mmm… ooh…)
(Stay… stay… fade…)

Stay

Have I Told You I love You

A bit of a self reflection

Searching For The Light

[Verse 1]
I walk alone through the broken grey,
The weight of silence won’t drift away.
Shadows stretch across my mind,
Still chasing something I can’t find.

[Verse 2]
Cold rain falls like static noise,
Drowns the sound of my inner voice.
I thought I’d rise, but I’m still low,
Looking for a light I used to know.

[Pre-Chorus]
And every step feels like a lie,
But I keep moving — don’t know why.
Maybe hope still lives in pain,
Or maybe I’m just drowning in the rain.

[Chorus]
So light me up inside this storm,
Show me fire when I feel worn.
I’m breaking down, but I won’t fall,
Still reaching out, through it all.

[Verse 3]
I hear the echoes in my chest,
Whispers of the past I never left.
Flickers of a life I used to crave,
Now buried deep beneath the waves.

[Verse 4]
I see your face behind my eyes,
A fading flame in endless night.
If I scream, will someone care?
Or am I just talking to cold air?

[Pre-Chorus]
And every breath feels like a war,
But I’ve bled too long to need it more.
If there’s a way, then let it show,
‘Cause I can’t keep walking blind alone.

[Chorus]
So light me up inside this storm,
Show me fire when I feel worn.
I’m breaking down, but I won’t fall,
Still reaching out, through it all.

[Bridge]
I’ve clawed through shadows, dug through pain,
Still find myself here, just the same.
But somewhere in the static hum,
A voice says, “Kid, don’t come undone.”

[Final Chorus]
So light me up, I’m still alive,
Burn me clean so I survive.
I’ve lost so much, but I still fight,
Still searching, still aching for the light.

[Outro]
Yeah… still aching for the light.

Searching For The Light

Title: “Ashes of What Could Be”

[Verse 1]
Your touch was fire beneath my skin,
A whisper pulling me deep within.
Every glance, a silent vow,
We didn’t speak, we didn’t need to now.
Breath on my neck, a dangerous game,
We burned too bright to stay the same.

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought forever was in your eyes,
But forever can be a beautiful lie.

[Chorus]
Now I’m standing in the ashes of what could be,
Your ghost is the only thing that’s touching me.
I taste your name in the back of my throat,
But the words are gone, the fire’s gone cold.

[Verse 2]
Your hands once traced the edge of my soul,
Now they’re gone, I’m not whole.
The sheets still hold the shape of your frame,
But the warmth is gone, nothing feels the same.
The scent of you lingers, bittersweet,
A song half-written, now incomplete.

[Pre-Chorus]
We danced in the dark, we lost our way,
And I can’t forget the things we’d say.

[Chorus]
Now I’m standing in the ashes of what could be,
Your ghost is the only thing that’s touching me.
I taste your name in the back of my throat,
But the words are gone, the fire’s gone cold.

[Bridge]
Maybe we were never built to last,
Just a spark, a flare, burning too fast.
But I still wonder late at night,
What if we’d stayed, what if we’d fought the fight?

[Chorus – Final]
Now I’m drowning in the ashes of what could be,
Your shadow’s the only one that follows me.
I taste your name but it’s slipping away,
And the fire we had has turned to grey.

[Outro]
Your ghost… your ghost…
Still whispers, but I can’t hold you close.

Title: Serenity in the Ruin

[Verse 1]
Stillness falls like broken glass,
Cuts the skin, but the moment lasts.
Shadows crawl where the wounds have been,
I’m choking on the war within.

[Verse 2]
Peace ain’t pure, it bleeds through wounds,
A fire rages in empty rooms.
A whisper screams through the cracks of shame,
This fragile calm still knows my name.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve bled, I’ve burned, I’ve come undone,
But silence beats the pounding drum.

[Chorus]
In the chaos, I hear it clear —
Through the rage, it draws me near.
No thunder needed, no pristine dream,
Serenity lives in the in-between.

[Verse 3]
The echoes fade but the pain still glows,
A savage truth that only silence knows.
I don’t need answers, don’t need why,
Just the ashes falling from the sky.

[Pre-Chorus]
The war inside won’t ever cease,
But from the wreckage, I find release.

[Chorus]
In the chaos, I hear it clear —
Through the rage, it draws me near.
No thunder needed, no pristine dream,
Serenity lives in the in-between.

[Bridge]
Let it break me, let it scar —
Every wound has made me who we are.
Peace through fire, pain through sin,
I find my calm in the ruin within.

[Final Chorus]
In the chaos, I hear it clear —
Through the rage, it draws me near.
No thunder needed, no pristine dream,
Serenity lives in the in-between.

[Outro]
Let the world keep tearing skin —
I’ll find my silence deep within.
Serenity… in the ruin.

Serenity in the Ruin

FockState is an experimental AI music project — a collection of raw demos waiting for a real band, group, or musician to take over and bring them to life. These tracks aren’t polished releases; they’re ideas, sketches, and sonic experiments born from the blend of human vision and AI tools. I have huge respect for real musicians, but for those of us who feel music deeply yet can’t physically play it, AI has opened the door to finally express it. What you hear here is that expression — nothing more, nothing less.
