[Verse 1]
Started out with stars in my eyes
(oo-yeah!)
Chasin' the glitter
The shine
The prize
"Make it big
" they said
"you'll see!"
But the higher I climbed
The less of me

[Chorus]
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
What a price to pay
(Oh yeah!) Glitter fades
But the emptiness stays
No friends
No love
Just a hollow throne
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Now I'm all alone

[Verse 2]
Built my castle high
Brick by brick
(whoa!)
Parties and applause
Thought I had the trick
But the echo's loud when the room’s just you
Lost the map to life
Didn’t have a clue

[Prechorus]
(Oh no!) I gave my soul to the shine
But never saw the warning sign

[Chorus]
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
What a price to pay
(Yeah!) Glitter fades
But the emptiness stays
No friends
No love
Just a hollow throne
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Now I'm all alone

[Bridge]
Mirror
Mirror
What do you see?
A man who traded love for currency. (woo!)
Chasin' dreams that were never real
Now I’m left with wounds that time won’t heal

Fool's Gold

[Verse]
They threw me out with dust on my feet
No roof no bread no place to meet
The streets whispered secrets I couldn't keep
But dreams
Oh dreams
They don’t retreat

[Prechorus]
Now the drums roll loud
Can you hear the sound
I’m back in town
No chains
No bounds

[Chorus]
I was poor
Now I’m golden
Hearts and coins
Both unbroken
I forgive
I rise
I stay
Rich in love
In every way

[Verse 2]
The plaza’s brighter than it used to be
Faces stare
Their guilt like the sea
But I smile
Oh I smile
Let it be
Their hate drowned
My heart set free

[Prechorus]
The trumpets sing
Can you feel the sway
I’ve come to dance
Not to repay

[Chorus]
I was poor
Now I’m golden
Hearts and coins
Both unbroken
I forgive
I rise
I stay
Rich in love
In every way

Golden Return

[Verse]
The road is long
The night is cold
The stars above feel distant
Old
But every step
I hear it say
Keep on moving
Find your way

[Chorus]
Keep on climbing
Don't look down
Wear your courage like a crown
Hope's the fire
Let it burn
Faith will lead you
Take your turn

[Verse 2]
The winds will howl
The storms will fight
They'll try to steal your guiding light
But even when the skies turn gray
The sun's just waiting
One more day

[Prechorus]
Hold the line
Don't let it go
Feel the spark begin to grow

[Chorus]
Keep on climbing
Don't look down
Wear your courage like a crown
Hope's the fire
Let it burn
Faith will lead you
Take your turn

[Bridge]
When the world whispers
"You can't stay"
Shout back loud
"I'll find my way"
Every stumble
Every fall
They're just echoes of the call

Keep on Climbing

[Verse 1]
She walked alone through the schoolyard haze
Silent steps
A maze of cruel displays
Eyes like daggers
Words like knives
She learned to fold
To shield her life

[Prechorus]
But the glass never lies
Oh no it never lies
What they saw was a shell
But she had fire inside

[Chorus]
Mirror eyes
They only see themselves
Never look beyond
Never break their spells
They laughed
They lied
They pushed her down
But now she’s a queen wearing their crown

[Verse 2]
She grew up fast in a world so cold
The same old stares
The same blindfolds
They couldn’t see the phoenix rise
From ashes burned beneath their lies

[Prechorus]
But the glass never lies
Oh no it never lies
They missed the glow
The storm she hides

[Chorus]
Mirror eyes
They only see themselves
Never look beyond
Never break their spells
They laughed
They lied
They pushed her down
But now she’s a queen wearing their crown

Mirror Eyes

[Verse]
She walks like a whisper in the wind
Doesn't see the fire I'm burning within
Every glance she throws just cuts me deep
A love so loud but she stays asleep

[Prechorus]
I know her favorite song her favorite line
I’d give her the stars if they'd make her mine

[Chorus]
But she don’t see me no she don’t care
I’m just a shadow breathing her air
Loyal heart but she won’t look my way
She’s my sunrise she’s my rainy day

[Verse 2]
She doesn’t know how I stay awake
Dreaming of a smile she’d never fake
I’d trust her with every scar I hide
But she’s a fortress locked from the inside

[Prechorus]
She don’t hear the words I never say
She don’t know I’d love her anyway

[Chorus]
But she don’t see me no she don’t care
I’m just a shadow breathing her air
Loyal heart but she won’t look my way
She’s my sunrise she’s my rainy day

Unseen Flame

[Verse 1]
Wind howls sharp through the hollow night
Shadows creep where the light won't fight
The ground shakes but I hold tight
Still breathing still alive

Graves whisper names I knew too well
Whiskey bottles
A private hell
Every crack I fell and fell
But I rose
I rise
I will

[Prechorus]
Storms rage but I don't break
Fires burn but I don’t flake

[Chorus]
I stand tall when the world falls down
I wear the chaos like a crown
Through the wreckage through the pain
I’m the thunder in the rain
I stand tall
I stand tall

[Verse 2]
Loneliness
It bites like steel
Cuts so deep
It almost feels
Like I'm drowning
No one reels
Me back but I climb still

Demons knocking on my door
Screaming louder than before
But I’m stronger
I want more
They can’t own me anymore

Stand Tall

[Verse 1]
(Oo-yeah!) He’s the king of the scene
Slicker than grease
With a velvet tongue
He’s the heartthrob beast
“Hey baby
Hey sugar
What’s your delight?”
He’ll spin you ‘round once
Leave you dizzy by night (oh, watch out now!)

[Chorus]
He’s the Sweet Talk Shuffle
The master of the game
Plays ‘em all like a record
Never two the same
But oh-oh
Here she comes
With a twist in her stride
Sweet Talk Shuffle
Boy
You better hide!

[Verse 2]
(Shoo-wop!) She’s got a sparkle
A fire in her eye
A honey-coated voice
Got him tongue-tied (whoa now!)
She says
“Hey there
Player
Think you’re so fly?
Let’s see you keep up
Come and give it a try!”

[Prechorus]
He stammers
He stumbles
He’s caught in her groove
Her words cut sharp
She’s got all the moves (all the moves!)

[Chorus]
He’s the Sweet Talk Shuffle
But now he’s on the ropes
She’s got him backpedalin’
No more slick hopes
Oh-oh
Tables turned
She’s the queen of the show
Sweet Talk Shuffle
Now you reap what you sow!

[Bridge]
(Ohhh, oo-yeah!)
She said
“Baby
You’re a player
But I wrote the book (I wrote the book!)
Your tricks are tired
I can see every look (uh-huh!)
I flipped the board
Now you’re checkmated
Fool
Who’s the sweet talker now? Guess I’m the jewel!”

Sweet Talk Shuffle

[Verse]
Three rings on my hand
Each one a bad bet
Took a vow
Broke it
Left with regret
He called me his queen
I became his pawn
Now I'm just a shadow where a woman stood strong

[Prechorus]
I gave my heart
They took the rest
Tried to love
But I failed the test

[Chorus]
Three rings too many
And none fit me right
I wore them in daylight
I cried through the night
I gave my all
They gave me pain
Now I watch my life slip down the drain

[Verse 2]
Bruises fade but the scars remain
Whiskey kissed me
Dulled the pain
Mirror cracked
Just like my mind
The clock keeps ticking
But I’ve lost the time

[Prechorus]
I played the game
I paid the price
Life dealt me cards
But they weren’t nice

[Chorus]
Three rings too many
And none fit me right
I wore them in daylight
I cried through the night
I gave my all
They gave me pain
Now I watch my life slip down the drain

Three Rings Too Many

[Intro]  
On a hill, far away, where the shadows play,  
Lives a man with a heart that’s gone astray.  
Every day he walks, with hope in his eyes,  
To a mailbox that holds only empty goodbyes.  

[Verse]  
They say he lost her, his love, his light,  
In the whispers of the night, he still holds her tight.  
He believes she’s on a journey, a vacation so grand,  
Waiting for a letter, a sign from her hand.  

[Chorus]  
Oh, the man on the hill, with dreams in his mind,  
Checks the mailbox, but no love he can find.  
He’s lost in the echoes of laughter and grace,  
Hoping one day, he’ll see her sweet face.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
The townsfolk talk, they say he’s gone mad,  
But in his heart, he’s still so glad.  
For every empty letter, he still believes,  
That love never fades, it’s the heart that deceives.  

[Verse]  
He walks through the fields, where the wildflowers grow,  
With memories of her, in the soft evening glow.  
He hums her favorite tune, as he gazes at the sky,  
In his world of solitude, he’ll never say goodbye.  

[Chorus]  
Oh, the man on the hill, with dreams in his mind,  
Checks the mailbox, but no love he can find.  
He’s lost in the echoes of laughter and grace,  
Hoping one day, he’ll see her sweet face.  

[Bridge]  
And when the stars shine bright, he whispers her name,  
In the silence of the night, it’s always the same.  
He’s waiting for a letter, a sign from above,  
In the heart of the man, there’s still endless love.  

[Outro]  
So here’s to the man, on the hill all alone,  
With a heart full of memories, and a love that’s his own.  
He’ll keep checking the mailbox, with hope in his soul,  
For the letter that brings him back to 

The Man on the Hill

[Verse]
He was just a boy
Living his life (ooh-yeah!)
Then one day he found
He could stop the time
Click of his mind
Freeze the world in place
Every ticking second
Gone without a trace

[Prechorus]
Fast cars
Bright lights
He played the game
Every move
Every choice
Never the same

[Chorus]
Freeze it
Freeze it
Stop the clock (oh-oh!)
Time stands still
Tick tock
Tick tock
Frozen moments
In his hand (ooh-yeah!)
But now he's stuck in the neverland

[Verse 2]
He dodged the trouble
Slipped through the cracks
Paused the world
And never looked back
He laughed at danger
He danced through the night
But shadows grew long in the frozen light

[Prechorus]
Fast cars
Bright lights
It was his domain
But the weight of stillness
Started to strain

[Chorus]
Freeze it
Freeze it
Stop the clock (oh-oh!)
Time stands still
Tick tock
Tick tock
Frozen moments
In his hand (ooh-yeah!)
But now he's stuck in the neverla

Frozen Forever

The King of the Sofa
