THERAPY

[Intro – Whispered Over Ambient Tension]
Insanity... it pulls you in.
Gravity heavy like guilt on your skin...
Let’s begin...
---
[Hook – Repeated, Slow & Haunting]
Insanity, it has its own gravity
It’s time you learned the meaning of depravity
I promise you, it's going to be okay
When I'm done, the world will go away
---
[Verse 1 – Calm, Creeping Flow with Growing Aggression]
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Those lies from your lips are most absurd
You run your mouth, now it's time for truth
Where you hiding at? Time to face the proof
I crept by your house, ghost in the mist
Popped up at your work, yeah I never miss
Your boss? A punk, I don't respect
You next on deck, better come correct
Tired of the chase, fed up with the lies
Time to dance in the shadows, no place to hide
No heat, just fists, I don’t need straps
Just bone on bone ‘til the silence cracks
---
[Hook – Stronger Beat Drop, More Echo]
Insanity, it has its own gravity
It’s time you learned the meaning of depravity
I promise you, it's going to be okay
When I'm done, the world will go away
---
[Verse 2 – Aggressive Battle Tone]
Stand your ground, don’t run today
Time to back up all that trash you say
Run it back, don’t look away
Be a man for once, don't fade away
What’s that? (Schwing) — a blade on your hip
Cute toy, boy — but you ain’t equipped
I got a gack and a nailbat
Can that tiny sword deflect that?
Crack! — swung the bat, now your blade's gone
Now you cryin’ — nappies on
On your knees now, beg me please
But there ain’t no savior in these streets
---
[Bridge – Whisper + Echo FX]
Gravity… pulling down hard…
You thought you knew fear… now you’re just a part…
---
[Hook – Final Time, Distorted Vocals]
Insanity, it has its own gravity
It’s time you learned the meaning of depravity
I promise you, it's going to be okay
When I'm done, the world will go away
---
[Outro – Low Beat Fade, Spoken Word]
This ain’t just a fight, it’s a reckoning.
No more hiding.
No more games.
Only silence... remains.


Depravity

[Verse 1]
Sun’s burnin’ down, got no plans today
Just me and my rig, gonna slip away
Boot it up, let the real world fade
I got a girl in a digital arcade
She’s waitin’ on a rooftop bar
In a city that don’t know where we are
My avatar’s cool, hers is fire
No rules here, just feed the desire

[Pre-Chorus]
Text comes through—"You comin’, babe?"
I hit that warp like a tidal wave
A million worlds, but only one she’s in
I dive right in, let the game begin

[Chorus]
It’s virtual, but it feels so right
Runnin’ through code in the dead of night
From shootouts loud to silent stars
We built a love between the avatars
From Pac-Man dots to neon flame
Ain’t nothin’ fake when you feel the same
It’s wild, it’s fast, it’s outta place
But I found real love…
In VR space

[Verse 2]
Cruisin’ in a tank, desert heat on high
She’s on the turret, got that twinkle in her eye
Enemies swarm, but we hold the line
She drops a nade, I lay down mine
We make it out, hearts racin’ loud
She laughs like thunder—damn, I’m proud
Then it’s cotton candy and carousel rides
We chase the stars with pixel eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
From battlefield to fantasy
She’s always right there next to me
No wires can hold this flame inside
We got that spark they can’t digitize

[Chorus]
It’s virtual, but it feels so right
Dancin’ on rooftops ‘til the morning light
From zombie raids to moonlit flights
She’s my escape, my Friday nights
From joystick dreams to full embrace
We found heaven in this cyberspace
It’s raw, it’s real, it’s our own place
Yeah, I found true love…
In VR space

[Bridge][Female Vocal]
এটা ভান নয়, এটা কোন পর্যায় নয়
এটা একেবারে নতুন পৃথিবী, আর আমরা এভাবেই জ্বলজ্বল করছি
আমরা হয়তো কারো কারো চোখে পিক্সেল
কিন্তু তারা বুঝতে পারেনি আমরা কী হয়ে গেছি

[Final Chorus]
It’s impossible, it’s insane
How we built love in a code-bound game
From Pac-Man ghosts to freedom’s face
We carved our names in VR space
It’s fast, it’s loud, it’s full of grace
A digital dream I can’t replace
So plug me in, don’t hit erase
I’m home when I see her…
In VR space
[Female Vocal]
তাহলে এখানেই নিয়ন রাতে ভালোবাসা
অবতারদের এত শক্ত করে ধরে রাখা
প্যাক-ম্যানের স্বপ্ন থেকে শুরু করে পূর্ণ আলিঙ্গন
আমরা চিরকাল খুঁজে পেয়েছি...

Love in VR Space

Hook – Repeated, Slow & Haunting]
Insanity, it has its own gravity
It’s time you learned the meaning of depravity
I promise you, it's going to be okay
When I'm done, the world will go away

Scammers fuck'em who needs them 
we should gather them all up and bleed them 
feed them to the sharks use them as bait 
string them up and stick there heads on the gate post 
in hopes that others won't follow in there footsteps 
cheating and bleeding the innocent dry 
trading truth for lies 
they all should die 
stack there bodies up high 
douse them with gas strike a match and let them fry 
scammers I'm coming for you 
each and every one of you 
I'm going to murder you 
starting with Lexie Fermiza 
on your knees you will see the 
Guillotine with a dull blade 
won't cut your head clean off 
I'll have to drop it twice more 
to kill this dirty whore 
you won't be stealing folks money anymore

Bliss is dangerous when combined with ignorance 
but Enlightenment opens many doors
Knees on the floor 
or on my cushion I set meditating.
Internally debating 
Psycho analyzing the situations 
around which my life is gravitating.

I know I've always said stay strong and soldier on 
but sometimes you got to bring right to the wrong 
Justice to the in just and sing a different song 
greed has his own penalty 
you will see what Vengeance look like 
from people sadistic as me 
you fucked around and now it's time to find out 
what insanity is really all about 
I got your name 
I got your address 
I'm coming to your house 
blood stains on your dress

Hook – Repeated, Slow & Haunting]
Insanity, it has its own gravity
It’s time you learned the meaning of depravity
I promise you, it's going to be okay
When I'm done, the world will go away

You better watch your back you 
better lock your doors 
you better be fearful of the Shadows in the corridors 
I'm going to get you 
I'm going to find you 
I'm going to kill you 
and that's just the start 
I'm going to cross the astral plane 
and drive you insane 
I'm going to find you in your dreams 
and do the same 
this is just the beginning and you will see 
you made a big mistake when you fucked with me

[Hook – Repeated, Slow & Haunting]
Insanity, it has its own gravity
It’s time you learned the meaning of depravity
I promise you, it's going to be okay
When I'm done, the world will go away

FAFO

Intro – Spoken/Melodic]
It’s funny how they say it’s not over till it’s over…
True facts.
When one path ends, you find another.
Let’s go.


---

[Verse 1]
Look over your shoulder, make a new plan
Start over—rewrite, rebuild, understand
Dreams are strange, they twist and turn
They might break, but they always burn
Like a Phoenix in your mind 
morphing and twisting over time 
revealing New Dimensions and potential understanding 
of the situation withstanding 
and the things its demanding 
of you to make it come true

Just because the scammers try to crush your dreams 
don’t mean they gone
Its time to reformulate, find where you belong
Pick up the path, move in a different way
It's raining now, but tomorrow brings a brighter day


---

[Pre-Chorus]
Think of a new rhyme, stay creative in the meantime
Downtime ain’t defeat—it’s life’s little rewind
Chance to breathe, see what you missed
Keep grinding, don't forget this:


---

[Chorus – Uplifting Hook]
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
Storms don’t last, they just pass, you got this
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
Even when it’s hard—yeah, especially when it is
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
Take the hit, feel the fear—but never quit
You got this… stay strong and soldier on


---

[Verse 2]
Alright days come, dark days go
Future’s unwritten, just let it flow
Stay true to yourself, strengthen your flow
Get the beat grooving, let the melody grow
Don’t stress the ones that slipped away
They weren’t meant for you anyway
Victory’s coming, just you wait
Sing your song, carry your weight


---

[Pre-Chorus]
Life is long, and the path is tough
But you’re tougher—yeah, more than enough
Grind it out, fight through the fear
You’re almost there, the vision’s near


---

[Chorus – Repeat, Layered Vocals]
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
Chains break when the heart persists, you got this
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
Light the dark, walk the mist—you got this
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
Every scar's a map to where you've gone
You got this… stay strong and soldier on


---

[Bridge – Spoken or Soft Melodic Flow]
Don’t worry ‘bout what they say
Let go of the dreams that slipped away
They weren’t right, they weren’t yours
Your true path opens different doors
Shed a tear when the rain pours
Shine bright when the sun restores
Fear fades, hope transforms—
You got this… soldier on


---

[Break – Refrain/Call & Response]
You're a warrior—stay strong and soldier on
Break the chains—stay strong and soldier on
Use your mind—stay strong and soldier on
Every step’s a win, keep moving on


---

[Outro – Final Chorus with Emotion]
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
No more doubt, your heart insists—you got this
Stay strong and soldier on, you got this
The world may change—but you persist
You got this… stay strong and soldier on
Be defiant in the face of the enemy 
Be strong, soldier on and they will see
You have the power and divinity...
Stay Strong and Soldier On 

DEFIANT

I feel  thoroughly dissatisfied with the whole business of life 
You try to make your dreams come true 
Then suddenly a scammer steals hope from you 
Like a thief in the night
But they chose the wrong one because your temper and tongue
Is sharper than a steel knife 
You wanna slash some windpipes 
You wanna send a motherfucker to that long goodnight 
You wanna end their life but you don't 
Because two wrongs don't make a right
Steal you stand and fight because in the end you know you're gonna win
Grab a pad and pen put an end to your  suffering 
Get it all out the a new day can begin 

Snorting coke at a joke
Getting high to stay woke
No, I don't do dope
Just need a line or two
To get my message through to you
Fuck the haters
Fuck the fakes
Fuck the Conners
They just wanna take the meat from my plate
I'm just trying to find my place in eternity 
If that bothers you
Good on ya
Fuck off, who needs ya
As-Salaam-Alaikum, shalom 


Hella Pissed

[Verse 1 — Male Voice, Menacing]

Welcome to my parlor, said the spider to the fly
Step inside—don’t be shy, everybody's got to die
I savor the fear when you try to hide
I'll give you a head start—run, but be wise
This is my dominion, my twisted domain
A world where sanity and shadows are the same
Welcome to the backrooms, you're deep in the gloom
Wander too far, and this chamber becomes your tomb

---

[Chorus 1 — Both Voices (Male Lead)]

 Malfunctioning lights flicker and fade
Through walls of yellow where memories decay
Sticky, moldy carpet swallows your sound
Every step you take—marked on haunted ground
You're my prey—I stalk, I spy
In this endless maze, you'll scream, you'll die
A cat-and-mouse game with no escape
This is my house, and you've sealed your fate
These are the backrooms—no dream, no costume
In this circle of hell, your soul, I consume

---

[Hook — Both Voices Alternating, Urgent]

Find the flashlight—stay out of sight
Avoid the grinning face, avoid the night
He’s creeping closer, around every bend
Slender Man’s coming—this is your end
Somebody help me—please, can you hear?
I’m trapped in a nightmare, paralyzed by fear

---

[Verse 2 — Female Voice, Frightened]

How did I get here? Just one curious glance
I fell through the floor—never stood a chance
Why was I nosy? Why’d I touch that door?
Now I see the truth, I can’t ignore
I thought it was fiction—an online tale
But this place is real, and escape will fail
It’s a parallel world, where logic bends
Where the whispers of Slender Man never end

No signal, no hope, I scream alone
My breath fogs the air—my heart turns to stone
I want to go home—but home's far gone
Now I'm part of the myth I stumbled upon

---

[Hook — Both Voices]

Find the flashlight—stay out of sight
Avoid the grinning face, avoid the night
He’s creeping closer, around every bend
Slender Man’s coming—this is your end
Somebody help me—please, can you hear?
I’m trapped in a nightmare, paralyzed by fear

---

[Chorus 2 — Duet (More Dramatic)]

Malfunctioning lights flicker and fade
Through walls of madness your mind will fray
Moldy carpet pulls you deeper down
Each room resets—there’s no way out
You're my prey—I savor your cries
The longer you last, the sweeter your demise
No level, no map, just echoes and screams
This isn’t a dream—it’s worse than it seems
These are the backrooms—your eternal tomb
In this shadow realm, your soul I consume

---

[Outro — Female Whisper, Echoed by Male Voice]

Why did I open that door...? (You belong to me now...)
Why did I come alone...? (There’s no going back...)
Please... I just want to go home...
(Welcome to the backrooms... welcome home.)

Welcome to the Backrooms

[Verse 1]
It’s late night, I’m sittin’ in my truck
Watchin’ lightning dance across the sky
Radio’s hummin’ a preacher’s cry
Flip on the news and I wonder why

The world’s gone to hell in a handbag
And I can't look away
How did we let it slip so far?
Who gave it all away?

[Chorus]
Some look for saints, some pray to gods
Some place bets on stranger odds
Some hang their heads down low, stayin’ outta the light
Others raise a fist and run into the fight

How did it all go so wrong?
Who drew the line in the sand?
Dividin’ the weak from the strong
The woke from the damned
And who is that shadow
Creepin’ across this land?

[Verse 2]
Decisions made behind closed doors
By the few who never bleed
Yet we all pay the cost
In broken dreams and need

The world cries out for better days
But sometimes, they’re hard to see
Buried under silence, rage
And forgotten dignity

[Chorus]
Some look for saints, some pray to gods
Some place bets on stranger odds
Some hang their heads down low, stayin’ outta the light
Others raise a fist and run into the fight

How did it all go so wrong?
Who drew the line in the sand?
Dividin’ the truth from the lies
The sheep from the brand
And who is the specter
Creepin’ with blood on his hands?

[Bridge]
Is there a way back from this place?
A road to grace, a saving face?
Or are we just echoes in the static storm,
Worn out, torn, and still bein’ born?

[Final Chorus]
Some look for saints, some curse the skies
Some chase dreams while others hide
Some hang their heads down low, hopin’ for the light
Others raise that fist and pray for one last fight

How did it all go so wrong?
Who drew the line in the sand?
And will we cross it together
Or fall where we stand?

Line in the Sand

Sometimes life can be a real mother
It seems like if it not one damn thing 
It's another 
Still, I keep my head up through the frustrations 
I take stock of my strengths and limitations 
I try to keep my patience locked and loaded 
I take all of the BS and deep throat it
I see trouble coming and silently say 
Hello

I'm sweating bullets just so you know
I always stay chill I don't let the stress show 
I'm tripping balls before the fall 
Waiting on important phone calls 
It all could change at a moment's notice 
I've got to try to stay calm like the Jewel of the lotus 
and stay mindful and keep my inner peace 
Although I could scream to let the stress release 
My life's in a fog too many cloudy days 
try not to let my thoughts get confused lost in the haze 
(lost in the haze)
I stay focused like a laser beam on brighter days 
(On brighter days)
pretty soon it's all going to go away going 
(to go away)
Inner peace and prosperity are the ghosts I chase 
(Are the goals I chase)
One day the rain will go away (will go away)

Rain rain go away 
It seems like every day 
Is Monday 
Let me see the sun 
Let me feel the brighter days 
Let the darkness pass 
Let the Stars Escape 
Let me leave this world 
for a better place 
I'm tired of living life 
at a snail's pace 
I want to be the hair 
That wins the race 
I'm trying to stack my gold 
and losing my bricks 
I'm tired of being a victim 
of the scammer pricks
