[Verse 1]
Oh, in the echoes of my mind
I keep searching for a sign
Lost in the chaos
Trying to redefine

[Chorus]
All the pieces of my life
Are scattered in the night
I can't escape the darkness, but I'll find the light

[Verse 2]
Through the struggles and the pain
I'll rise above the rain
In the end, I'll find my way
No matter what, I'm here to stay

[Chorus]
And I've come so far
And I won't back down
In this battle, I'll stand my ground
Through the shadows, I'll ascend
I won't let go, this is not the end

[Verse 3]
Through the battles fought within
I'll break these chains
Embracing all my fears
Oh, embracing all the pain

[Chorus]
Every scar, I'll wear 'em like a crown
In the symphony of life, I won't let go and drown
Through the struggles and the pain
Oh, I'll rise above the pain

[Outro]
In the end, I'll find my way
No matter what, I'm here to stay
Oh, I'm here to stay
I've come so far
No, I won't back down
In this battle, I'll stand my ground
Through the shadows, I'll ascend
I won't let go
This is not, this is not my end

crying again

Shadow Songs - is a lament and a reckoning. It tells the story of a world so saturated in distraction, violence, and digital detachment that we no longer recognise darkness when it rises. Children die on screens, injustice scrolls past in silence, and the truth is buried beneath comfort and convenience. The song follows a narrator who refuses to look away, who hears the hum beneath the headlines, the quiet song of suffering we’ve all learned to ignore. Through bluesy cadence and prophetic rhythm, the track warns of the cost of collective silence and the weight of complicity. The darkness doesn't scream, it sings. And it sings in our name.

Shadow Song

You make me weightless
All my gravity fade when you’re here
Every breath turn soft, sincere
The noise disappears
You make me weightless
World slow down, I see clear
I don’t fall, I just steer
You make me weightless

Weightless

I Only

There's not a thing I can do
At every turn there's you
Every place that I go
I see you and I know

How could it ever be true
How can it be I lost you
I look around and I see
All those things that could be

But they are no longer real
Things that I only feel
I know they will never be
But you are inside of me

[chorus]
Was not up to me
Not a thing I could do
You have to believe
I only love you

[instrumental]

There was a time when we knew
You and me, me and you
We were always together
Rain or shine, any weather

I don't know about you
How was it that things changed
You were just standing there
Saying you did not care

I could not believe
How could it go right by me
How could I not tell
You were all I could see

[chorus]
Was not up to me
Not a thing I could do
You have to believe
I only love you

[instrumental]

[chorus]
Was not up to me
Not a thing I could do
You have to believe
I only love you

Not a thing I could do
I only love you

I only love you

Shadows Linger On .

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
