We built a wall of perfect, empty air,
Tectonic plates of words we couldn't share.
This silence is a structure, steel and grey,
Standing tall, keeping the light away.
The city breathes around us, full of noise,
But here, in this vacuum, we forget our voice.
I measure every second that you don't speak,
The distance grows longer every single week.

And I'm trapped inside the framework that we designed,
The blueprint for a heart that left the world behind.
I need a fault line, a crack inside the glass,
Something that shatters this silence, or else we won't last.

Tear down the walls! Tear down the architecture of silence!
Let the pressure break, give me one final defiant glance!
We can't survive on echoes of what we used to say,
Give me the truth, let the light burn the shadows away!
Oh, the framework is bending, the foundation will fall,
But I'd rather have nothing than have this concrete wall!

I trace the lines upon your face in the dark,
Searching for the fire, searching for the spark.
We move like separate planets, locked in our own space,
A perfect orbit, but without a saving grace.
You put the key right in my hand, then looked away,
A silent mandate that I couldn't disobey.
But even granite cracks under the weight of the rain,
And I can't hold this composure through the hurricane.

And I'm trapped inside the framework that we designed,
The blueprint for a heart that left the world behind.
I need a fault line, a crack inside the glass,
Something that shatters this silence, or else we won't last.

Tear down the walls! Tear down the architecture of silence!
Let the pressure break, give me one final defiant glance!
We can't survive on echoes of what we used to say,
Give me the truth, let the light burn the shadows away!
Oh, the framework is bending, the foundation will fall,
But I'd rather have nothing than have this concrete wall!

Was it fear or comfort that kept us apart?
Was it the logic of the mind, or the pulse of the heart?
I don't know the answer, I just know the cost,
Everything we haven't said is everything we lost.

...Than this concrete wall...

The Architecture of Silence

So many people have no bread
While others waste what could be fed
The earth is crying, dry and torn
We must help before it’s gone

The rich fields once were green and wide
Now they’re empty, cracked, and dry
But if we share what love can grow
The world will heal, I know

Let the hunger end today
Every heart can find a way
Give your hands, your voice, your care
There’s enough for all to share

A child is waiting, eyes so small
Dreaming of a life for all
It doesn’t take a king or crown
Just kindness spreading round

We can plant the seeds again
Let compassion be the rain
When we stand as one, we’ll see
What the world was meant to be

Every hand can lift another
Every heart can light the dark
If we listen, if we care
A brighter world will start

Let the hunger end today
Every heart can find a way
Give your hands, your voice, your care
There’s enough for all to share

Let the hunger end today (end today)
Every heart can find a way (find a way)
If we stand as one together
We can build the fields of tomorrow


Fields of Tomorrow

I'm living on a frequency I can't adjust
Lost inside the signal and the gathering rust.
The cityscape is neon, but the feeling is grey,
I sent a thousand messages you never could play.
We’re all just binary ghosts in a fibre-optic maze,
Scrolling through the future in a digital haze.

And the world outside is telling me it’s too late to mend,
That the current’s gonna break before the wire can bend.
My hands are shaking, trying to hold the broken line,
But I swear I heard a whisper on a satellite sign...

Oh, don’t tell me that the signal’s dead!
We are the echoes in the silence instead!
We are the pulse beneath the pavement and stone,
We are the voices that refuse to be alone!
Find the light in the wire, find the hope in the dark,
Before the world rips our Binary Heart apart!

I watch the rain hit the window, it runs like bad code,
Another day of carrying this heavy, endless load.
We built our kingdoms high, then we shut out the sound,
Tried to reach for heaven but we only touched the ground.

And the world outside is telling me it’s too late to mend,
That the current’s gonna break before the wire can bend.
My hands are shaking, trying to hold the broken line,
But I swear I heard a whisper on a satellite sign...

Oh, don’t tell me that the signal’s dead!
We are the echoes in the silence instead!
We are the pulse beneath the pavement and stone,
We are the voices that refuse to be alone!
Find the light in the wire, find the hope in the dark,
Before the world rips our Binary Heart apart!

If I could trace your coordinates back to the start,
If I could tear down the fire that’s keeping us apart,
Would you still remember the colour of the sun?
Would you still believe the war could be won?

Oh, don’t tell me that the signal’s dead!
We are the echoes in the silence instead!
We are the pulse beneath the pavement and stone,
We are the voices that refuse to be alone!
Find the light in the wire, find the hope in the dark,
Before the world rips our Binary Heart apart!


The Binary Heart

I gave you all my days,
Held your heart like it was mine.
But you were in another place,
Crossing every single line.
Now the nights feel cold and heavy,
And the truth keeps sinking in.
I’m standing in the doorway
Of the life that could’ve been.

’Cause you broke me with a whisper,
With the lies behind your eyes.
I tried to hold our fire,
But you let it slowly die.
Now I’m walking through the shadows,
Trying hard to stand again.
Heartbreak after cheating
Is the deepest kind of pain.

I replay all the moments,
Every smile, every touch.
Did you ever really love me,
Or was it never that much?
I keep asking for a reason,
But the silence stays the same.
You left a mark inside me
That still burns when I hear your name.

’Cause you broke me with a whisper,
With the lies behind your eyes.
I tried to hold our fire,
But you let it slowly fade.
Now I’m walking through the shadows,
Trying hard to breathe again.
Heartbreak after cheating
Is a storm I can’t explain.

But I will rise, even slowly,
Step by step, I’ll find the light.
The truth may hurt forever,
But I won’t lose this fight.

You broke me with a whisper,
But I’ll learn to live again.
Even though you left me bleeding,
This is not how my story ends.
I’m moving through the shadows,
Toward a sky without your name.
Heartbreak after cheating
Won’t always feel the same.

Broken Truth

I remember tiny hands,
Running fast across the field.
Soccer cleats and dusty knees,
Dreams too big to ever yield.
Lacrosse sticks in the sunlight,
Shouting goals across the sky.
I was always on the sideline,
Watching every moment fly.

You were there… always there…

Vacations with their laughter,
Mountains echoing their names.
My wife beside me smiling
At the kids we helped to raise.

But the seasons keep on turning,
And the days move out of reach.
They’re standing on their own now,
Living lives I used to teach.

Let them grow… let them go…

They don’t need me like they used to,
And it cuts a little deep.
But I’m proud of who they’re becoming,
These dreams they get to keep.
The years are running faster,
But my heart just opens wide.
It’s time to let them fly now,
While I watch from the quiet side.

I stood with them through everything,
Every win and every fall.
Told them they were strong enough,
Told them they could have it all.
Now they’re walking toward the sunrise,
With their futures burning bright.
And I feel both loss and wonder
As they disappear from sight.

They are strong… they belong…

I will always be their shelter,
Even when I step aside.
Step aside… step aside…

They don’t need me like they used to,
And I feel that change inside.
But I’m proud of how they’re living,
And of every step they try.
The road is getting wider,
Yet the love won’t fade or die.
It’s time to let them fly now,
And I’ll cheer them from the sides.

I gave them all the love I had,
Now it’s theirs to carry far.
They will shine… they will shine…
I’ll hold the memories in my chest,
Like a quiet northern star.
You can let them fly with love…

They don’t need me like they used to,
But they’ll always be my pride.
I will love them through the distance,
Even standing off to the side.
The drums are rising louder,
And the sky is open wide.
It’s time to let them fly now…
And I’m grateful for the ride.

Let Them Fly

Dark synths rising under broken memories,
Your smile glowing in the old photographs.
You were warmth in every room you entered,
A heart that opened doors with just a laugh.
But the shadows pulled you inward,
Day by day you slipped away.
Dementia and the drinking
Stole your colors, shade by shade.

I remember you… I still carry you…

I reached for you in every moment,
But your mind kept drifting far.
Drifting far… drifting far…

Your fire turned smaller,
But it never lost its light.
I watched you fading slowly
In that cold hospital night.
The drums are calling louder,
The sky is breaking wide.
Even as you left this world,
Your love stayed here inside.

Your laughter once could shake the silence,
A melody that made the world feel safe.
But then your mind became a distant country
Where I could never find your face.
I held your shaking hands so tightly,
Tried to hold what time erased.
Memories falling all around us
Like torn pages out of place.

I remember you… every part of you…

I kept calling out your name,
Even when your voice was gone.
Holding on… holding on…

Your fire turned smaller,
But it never lost its light.
I watched you fading slowly
In that cold hospital night.
The drums are calling louder,
And the daylight starts to rise.
Even though you said goodbye,
Your strength still lives in mine.

Your love keeps pulling forward,
Through the storms and all the pain.
I’m still with you… still with you…
Your light became the compass
That guides me through the rain.
I won’t let your memory fade…

Your fire turned smaller,
But it’s burning in my chest.
You slipped into the silence,
But your spirit never left.
Now the drums are breaking open,
And the sky is filled with light.
You were fading in the hospital…
But you rise in me tonight.

Fading Light

Under the same sky we stand,
Different lands, the same hands.
Every heart beats the same desire,
To live in peace, not under fire.

If love’s the language we all know,
Why do we let the cold winds blow?

No more war, no more pain,
Let the silence wash the rain.
Every child deserves the dawn,
A world where peace is never gone.
No more war, no more hate,
It’s not too late, it’s not too late.

Cities cry where dreams once grew,
But hope is rising, breaking through.
Voices join, the earth will sing,
We are stronger than the suffering.

If we can see beyond the lines,
Then hearts will open, light will shine.

No more war, no more pain,
Let the silence wash the rain.
Every child deserves the dawn,
A world where peace is never gone.
No more war, no more hate,
It’s not too late, it’s not too late.

One world, one voice, one chance to make it right.

Raise your hands, not your guns,
Reach for love beneath the sun.
From every border, every shore,
Together we’ll say: no more war.

No more war, no more pain,
Let the silence wash the rain.
Every child deserves the dawn,
A world where peace is never gone.

It’s not too late…
No more war.


No More War

Shadows move across the ceiling
Whispers echo in my mind
Every step I take, I’m healing
From the ghosts I left behind

In the silence, I feel your voice
A signal through the dark
Guiding me where I’ve got no choice
But to follow your spark

I’m falling into light
Breaking through the grey of night
Your touch is like a fire
That pulls me higher, pulls me higher
I’m falling into light
Where everything feels right

Every heartbeat, every reason
Leads me closer to your glow
Lost between the truth and treason
Of the things we’ll never know

All I wanted was to find
A place where love and faith align
Now I see it in your eyes
A universe inside

I’m falling into light
Breaking through the grey of night
Your touch is like a fire
That pulls me higher, pulls me higher
I’m falling into light
Where everything feels right

Into the light…
Into the light…
(Falling, falling, falling…)
