Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m sweatin’ bullets in December
There’s blood in my sight
All them dreams I don’t remember
Flew off in the night

Got a choir of delusions (ahhhh)
Hammerin’ in my skull
And this wheel of confusion
Keeps on turnin’ full

[Chorus]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It used to feel like home
My vice, my vice
Now it cuts me to the bone

[Verse 2]
My body’s all broken
My blood feels like sand
And the devil’s still pokin’
With his bat in my hand

My eyes stay wide open
Sleep don’t come to me
I swam an ocean of lies
And drowned in the debris

[Chorus]
Yeah, my vice, my vice
It used to calm the storm
My vice, my vice
Now it’s colder than before

[Bridge]
One bright day, I saw forever
Fall to pieces in the rain
Seven years of stormy weather
Burnin’ holes inside my brain

[Instrumental]
(Yo!)

[Verse 3]
I’m prayin’ for redemption
God, pull me through
Let me be the exception
I don’t know what else to do

[Outro]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It’s not a friend no more
My vice, my vice
Left me dying on the floor

#Pop #LoveBallad #Jazz-Pop #Gospel #Soul #Redemption #1960sVibe #Remix2025

A heartfelt love ballad to show my devotion to my partner, owning my mistakes and pleading for redemption, this Elvis like track, is a tribute is to Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll 👑🎙️ Blending 1960s gospel-soul, jazzy pop, and subtle pop rock,  I wanted to bring back the old sound completely remixed for 2025 with cinematic flair ✨, it’s a goosebumps-inducing ode to love’s healing power, echoing Elvis’s timeless charisma. So much research was done to get these results and
I wanted to write something special in the way Elvis would sing it ✍️ but with my own words. 🔥🙏.

❤️ I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU! 🎸

Yeah…
Listen close.
’Cause what I’m about to say might shake everything you think you know—
about pain, failure, and your own mind.
[Verse 1]
There’s two kinds of people in this world, I’ve seen it,
Those who break down, tired, barely breathing,
And those who rise up when the weight gets heavy,
When the storm comes down, they stay steady.
It ain’t luck, it ain’t schooling, it ain’t IQ,
It’s a mindset—what’s inside you.
Ain’t about pretending when your soul’s in pieces,
It’s power, it’s faith, it’s your will through the seasons.
[Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
Ain’t no fear in my veins, I just breathe, I believe—
Positive mental attitude, that’s me.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every loss that I take just fuels my flame,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
I can’t lose with this mindset, I can’t lose.
[Verse 2]
Met the ghosts of giants, legends in their time,
Carnegie, Ford, Edison on the grind,
They built empires out of pressure and dirt,
They took every failure, turned it into work.
Didn’t run from the pain, they embraced it,
Didn’t cry when the game rearranged it.
They studied defeat, transmuted the pain,
Turned every setback into gain.
[Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
Ain’t no fear in my veins, I just breathe, I believe—
Positive mental attitude, that’s me.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every loss that I take just fuels my flame,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
I can’t lose with this mindset, I can’t lose.
[Bridge / Spoken Breakdown]
What’s controlling your mind today?
Fear? Doubt? Resentment? Self-pity?
Or faith… purpose… gratitude… desire?
Your mind ain’t neutral—it’s always under the influence of something.
If you don’t control it, the world will.
If you don’t master it, the devil will.
And when I faced my greatest enemy… it was me.
[Final Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
No chains on my soul, just the truth that I choose—
My attitude decides if I win or lose.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every scar on my heart just calls my name,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
Positive mental attitude…
That’s you.

So we’re going to slow down COMPLETELY after the release of THE DARK SIDE

The song “MAKE IT RIGHT” is about breaking free from perfectionism and self-doubt. It reflects a journey toward self-acceptance, realizing that true strength comes from embracing imperfection. Instead of chasing approval or flawless performance, we should learn to live authentically — finding peace, confidence, and freedom in simply being ourselves.

LYRIC

Intro

I tried to walk a line that’s straight,
Always perfect, never late.
But the cracks inside still show,
Guess the rules won’t help me grow.

Verse

Counting every step I take,
Worried ‘bout the moves I make.
But the harder I pretend,
The less I know where I begin.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a flawless disguise,
I’ll let the real me rise.

Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Verse

Tired of wearing someone’s face,
Running in a losing race.
Now I see the truth is clear,
What I need is already here.

Pre-Chorus 

I won’t let the moment pass me by,
This is who I am inside.

Chorus

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Bridge

Every scar has told my name,
Every fault is not a shame.
Perfect’s just a losing game,
But I won’t play it.

Final Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Outro

 “I’m enough, I’m enough”

Make it right

Every detail — every touch, laugh, and glance — becomes magical, leaving the person craving more of that perfect connection.

LYRIC

Intro
Morning light, your hand in mine,
Every moment feels divine.
Laughing loud, the world feels small,
With you I’ve got it all.

Verse 
Every day’s a brand new start,
You set the fire in my heart.
Simple things, they feel so true,
Life is better here with you.

Pre-Chorus
No need for diamonds, no need for gold,
This kind of magic never grows old.

Chorus
I can’t get enough, of the way you make me feel,
Like the world is ours, and the dream is real.
I can’t get enough, when your love lights me up,
Every second’s not enough, can’t get enough.

Verse 
Every kiss, it feels brand new,
Colors brighter when I’m with you.
Dancing fast, beneath the sky,
Time is ours, it passes by.

Pre-Chorus
No need for diamonds, no need for gold,
This kind of magic never grows old.

Chorus
I can’t get enough, of the way you make me feel,
Like the world is ours, and the dream is real.
I can’t get enough, when your love lights me up,
Every second’s not enough, can’t get enough.

Bridge
Take my hand, don’t let it go,
With you beside me, I already know…

Chorus
I can’t get enough, of the way you make me feel,
Like the world is ours, and the dream is real.
I can’t get enough, when your love lights me up,
Every second’s not enough, can’t get enough.

Outro
Can’t get enough…
Can’t get enough…

Can’t get enough

[Intro / Verse 1]
Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while.
Thought of your face, and that brought me a smile.
Wanted another one. Fell back asleep, instead.
Woke and found you sitting there on the bed.
I fell for you, baby, like a bomb
Now my love’s gone up in flames
[Chorus]
Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour ‘til you’re leaving this town.
[Verse 2]
Went to the corner store, bought us another pack.
Held my arm around you as we headed back.
I tried to change your mind. Didn’t want you to go.
I want you more, it seems, than you could ever know.
We’re history, baby, read it in a book
It ended in the fire that started with a look
[Chorus]
Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour ‘til you’re leaving this town.
[Verse 3]
My head is full of smoke, heart full of pain
That tender love is gone, gone up in flames
You should have shot me, baby, my life is done
You could have shot me, baby, shot me with a gun
I hear those sirens scream my name
I know my love is gone up in flames
[Bridge]
Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while.
Thought of your face, and that brought me a smile.
I fell for you, baby, like a bomb
Now my love’s gone up in flames
[Outro / Chorus]
Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour ‘til you’re leaving this town.
My head is full of smoke, heart full of pain
That tender love is gone, gone up in flames
You should have shot me, baby, my life is done
You could have shot me, baby, shot me with a gun
I hear those sirens screamin’, screamin’ my name
I know my love is gone, gone up in flames
