Worth Stealing

The Red Garden

‘Echoes in the Dark’ is the a  haunting chapter in a chilling concept album, where a broken groom, shattered by childhood abuse and a bride’s betrayal, reels from Tanya’s murder in a neon-lit club. Her blood still warm, the Voice revels in its growing control, drowning out his fading pleas for redemption.  Eerie whispers carry echoes of his abusive teacher. One more ghost haunts him, but the album’s bloody spiral tightens.

[Lyrical Intro]
Fingers trace the scars she left…
Her scream still burns, a theft of breath…
The bass still pounds inside my skull…
Tanya’s gone—her blood runs dull…

“Only echoes… only red…”


[Verse 1]
Her pulse was fire, now cold ash,
Her rhythm silenced, a fleeting flash.
She ruled the floor, a queen of lies,
Now shadows claim her hollow eyes.

“Just like her…”

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A voice pleads soft, “This isn’t me!”
The Voice just sneers, “You’re finally free!”
The walls still breathe her dying call,
The teacher’s shadow stains them all.

[Chorus 1]
Echoes whisper, echoes scream,
They claw through cracks in shattered dreams!
Blood runs cold, the light’s erased,
One more down—no saving grace!

“No turning back…”

[Verse 2]
Shadows sway where Tanya danced,
Her laughter twists, a cruel expanse.
Her eyes, her lies, they all align,
The Voice growls low—“Another’s mine.”

“She deserved it…”

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A voice cries out, “This isn’t right!”
The Voice consumes—“It’s our fight!”
The schoolyard hums, the chalk dust falls,
Her lessons echo through these halls.

[Chorus 2]
Echoes whisper, echoes roar,
They carve my soul, they beg for more!
Blood runs cold, the light’s erased,
One more down—no saving grace!

“No turning back…”

[Post-Chorus]
Her face dissolves, her name’s a blur,
Was she Tanya? Or just… her?
A ghost in neon, lost to time,
Her echo’s hers… but now it’s mine.

[Bridge]
Classroom doors creak, chalk dust rains,
Her voice still binds me, tight as chains.
Footsteps echo, her shadow calls,
Another lesson—another falls.

"One by one… until she’s last…”

[Final Chorus]
Echoes whisper, echoes roar,
They carve my soul, they beg for more!
Blood runs cold, the world’s defaced,
One more down—no saving grace!

[Lyrical Outro]
No more masks, no more lies,
I wear the blood of those despised.
The echoes call, the dark’s my home…
“They all must fall…”

“Next… her…”

Battling Shadows

[Verse 1]
I lie beneath a sky too vast to hold,
A flicker in the dark, or so I'm told.
But every cell inside of me
Was forged in stars, in gravity,
I am the cosmos breathing free.

[Chorus]
So I scream to the sky, not for myself,
But for the ones still hiding on dusty shelves.
For empty plates and stolen lands,
For broken dreams in calloused hands.
Give every soul a place to shine,
No matter color, love, or line.
Let no one beg beneath these stars,
We are the universe, not just its scars.

[Verse 2]
A shooting star, a whispered vow,
Let every child eat well somehow.
No chains on hearts, no flags on love,
Just laughter echoing above.
I’m grateful for the peace I’ve found,
But it’s not peace if it ain’t all around.

Clouds may cover stars at times,
But hope burns bright behind the lines.
I hold this world in fragile trust,
Built on the bones of love and dust,
And wish for all to rise from rust.

[Chorus]
So I scream to the sky, not for myself,
But for the ones who never had help.
For aching backs and silence deep,
For those who cry themselves to sleep.
Give them fires that warm, not burn,
A love that stays, a safe return.
Let every wall come down in peace,
Let all the suffering finally cease.

[Breakdown]
End the hunger.
End the hate.
This is our time…
To elevate.

[Chorus]
So I scream to the sky, not for myself,
But for the ones who never had help.
For aching backs and silence deep,
For those who cry themselves to sleep.
Give them fires that warm, not burn,
A love that stays, a safe return.
Let every wall come down in peace,
Let all the suffering finally cease.

[Bridge]
Let hearts be free, no matter the name.
Let love bloom wild, without guilt or shame.
No god would curse what was born from light
We are all stardust, born to ignite.

Stardust

i don’t wanna be alone 
but it’s all i’ve ever known  
i don’t wanna say goodbye 
but it’s time for me to go
into the void

now i’m on the other side
and im done feeling terrified 
it’s still dark but i see the light
pulling me closer to what i believe

stuck in a dream 
like im seventeen 
i can feel the breeze 
even if there’s no air to breathe
like a tease, they are on their knees
hoping that i be 
everything they ever wanted,
everything they want to see 

yeah i’m aware 
but i don’t fucking care 
i rather disappear 
then be stuck with them i swear
i can see the thrown 
yeah, born to be the heir
of the great unknown 
we call that super rare

my time is coming soon
for my soul to break loose
while waiting on a crescent moon
i think to my self 

i don’t wanna be alone
but it’s all i’ve ever known 
i don’t wanna say goodbye 
but it’s time for me to go
into the void
into the void

now i’m on the other side
and im done feeling terrified 
it’s still dark but i see the light
pulling me closer to what i believe

i’ve said it before
i’ll say it again
i’ve waited for more
but now it’s the end
i will not depend 
on when they say when
maybe im just better off…

better off dead

i don’t wanna be alone
i don’t wanna say goodbye 

i don’t wanna be alone
but it’s all i’ve ever known 
i don’t wanna say goodbye 
but it’s time for me to go
into the void
into the void

INTO THE VOID

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,
