[Verse 1]
I guess I never mentioned all that bullshit
And thought I never would 'cause "that's not worth it"
But every now and then I think about these days
When I was just a kid and you were 'bout my age

[Verse 2]
We lived in other place with nothing but ourselves
The playground in the back was something that I hated and
I don't remember much, but know that I was scared
I hid under the bed to pretend I'm somewhere else

[Chorus]
I used to
Hold my breath
To not soak in that
And I prayed for life
Where there's hope sometime
For me

[Verse 3]
And both of you I blame, but somehow I can't hate
Still can't believe that you were younger than I am
But every hit she got was causing me more pain
You made me think that I'm deranged

[Chorus]
And I would
Hold my breath
To not soak in that
God I prayed for life
Where there's hope sometime for me oh

[Bridge]
There'll be hope sometime for me
(Hope sometime for me)
(Hope sometime for me)
There'll be hope sometime
(Hope sometime for me)
There'll be hope sometime
(Hope sometime for me)
There'll be hope sometime
(Hold my breath)
There'll be hope sometime
(To not soak in that)
There'll be hope sometime
(And I prayed for life)
There'll be hope sometime
(Hope sometime for me)
There'll be hope sometime
(Hold my breath)
There'll be hope sometime
(To not soak in that)
There'll be hope sometime
(And I prayed for life)
There'll be hope sometime

[Outro]
There'll be hope sometime for me
There'll be hope sometime for me
There'll be hope sometime

Let Me Love You Forever

😶‍🌫️ Got The Tea on You  🎶- Fear. DJLADYFELINE

In the shadows I roam wild
Chasing whispers heart beguiled
Moonlight dancer phantom sprite
Flickering through dreams at night

Silent secrets echo clear
Candles burn the night draws near
Fleeting moments lost in time
Mysteries hiding in the grime

Wowooooo shadows lead the way
Wowooooo night becomes the day
Dancing spirits won’t betray
Wowooooo we will never stay

Haunted visions come to life
Souls entwined in love and strife
Echoes of a distant past
Whispering till the last

Ghostly fingers brush my skin
Drawing me from deep within
To the place where shadows bleed
Fulfilling every need

Wowooooo shadows lead the way
Wowooooo night becomes the day
Dancing spirits won’t betray
Wowooooo we will never stay

In the shadows

Whispers in the night hey hey
Shadow's dance with light hey hey
Mystery so tight hey hey
Love's a hidden bite hey hey

Moon's a silent guide hey hey
Secrets soft inside hey hey
Truths we never hide hey hey
Hearts begin to write hey hey

Lost in cryptic dreams hey hey
Echoes in our seams hey hey
Wrapped in silent screams hey hey
Nothing's what it seems hey hey

Signs that we decode hey hey
Love's a winding road hey hey
Clues that overload hey hey
Hearts in secret mode hey hey

Colors fade to gray hey hey
Words we never say hey hey
Night turns into day hey hey
Love just finds its way hey hey

Lost in cryptic dreams hey hey
Echoes in our seams hey hey
Wrapped in silent screams hey hey
Nothing's what it seems hey hey

Waves of light in the midnight sky
Shooting stars with a whispered sigh
Dreams unfold in a silent plea
But don’t cry for me let me be free

Echoes fade in a distant gleam
Past the veil of an ancient dream
Through the maze of infinity
Don’t cry for me let me be free

Take my hand let’s fly away
Beyond the realms where shadows play
In your heart my soul will stay
Don’t cry for me I’m here each day

Glowing fields where the wildflowers meet
Countless suns at our wandering feet
Endless sea of tranquility
Don’t cry for me let me be free

Curious winds through the starry veil
Guiding us on this timeless trail
In this lull of serenity
Don’t cry for me let me be free

Take my hand let’s fly away
Beyond the realms where shadows play
In your heart my soul will stay
Don’t cry for me I’m here each day

Don’t cry for me

said can you be my sunshine girl
do you believe that there is
such a thing as love

said can you be my sunshine baby
so much has gone before and
so much left to come

but if we take
a little time
and if you know
what's on my mind

you show me that the storm is breakin'
i'm talkin' 'bout the love we're makin'
you show me that the 
storm is breakin'
i'm talkin' 'bout the love we're makin'

said can you be my sunshine girl
said can you light up this whole
dark and crazy world

we're back in our own time and space now baby
and i've let loose that big ol'
beatin' heart inside

and if you try
to understand
and if you reach out
to touch my hand

you show me that the storm is breakin'
i'm talkin' 'bout the love we're makin'
you show me that the storm is breakin'
i'm talkin' 'bout the love we're makin'

said can you be my sunshine girl
do you believe that you're the 
one thing in this world

that i can see
you know i need you baby
i think it shows
it overflows

you show me that the storm is breakin'
i'm talkin' ‘bout the love we're makin'
you show me that the storm is breakin'
i'm talkin' 'bout the love we're makin'

said can you be my sunshine girl
said can you light up this whole
dark and crazy world

said can you be my sunshine baby
said can you be my
sunshine girl

and if you try
if you try to understand
if you reach out touch my hand
if you know what's on my mind
if we take a little time

you show me that the storm is breakin'

sunshine girl (acoustic version)

Close To The Dial

Your arms held me together
In that noisy tearstained crowd
You said…be steady for me baby
Make me proud
So handsome in your uniform
It seems like only yesterday
You blew me one last kiss
As you turned to board your plane

I keep you close to the dial
Where you’re trapped in our song
It’s saying everything I want to hear
That you haven’t said in so long
You said it so sweetly
When we walked down the aisle
When my finger reached out and touched you
Close to the dial

I hear you like a one-way conversation on the phone
You love my silky blond hair
How my skin glows when we’re alone
I know they’re just notes on paper
And someone else’s tune
But the volume fills this empty space at night
In our bedroom

I keep you close to the dial
Where you’re trapped in our song
It’s saying everything I want to hear
That you haven’t said in so long
When the storms come...and they do
I still find your smile
When my fingers reach out and I touch you
Close to the dial

I turn you on when I’m lonely
And my heart’s breaking
It doesn’t kill the pain 
…but it softens my aching

I keep you close to the dial
Where you’re trapped in our song
It’s saying everything I want to hear
That you haven’t said in so long
When the storms come and they do
I can still find your smile
When my fingers reach out and touch you
Close to the dial

Close To The Dial

Not every kid comes through their front door
   wrapped in a homemade blanket
Not every kid was planned 
…or even wanted
but every kid’s got their path to follow

Some kids are wound so tight
Some kids sleep through the night
Some kids come with wisdom they own
Some kids stand on the sidelines all alone

But each kid’s a blessing
From that first day
Standing on Angel wings
To see their way
(They’ll see their own way)
   They’ll see their way

Some kids rise to become heroes
Some kids sink into their struggles
But all will find their stories open
…with chapters written as they go

Each kid’s a blessing
From that first day
Standing on Angel wings
To See their own way
(They will see their own way)

They’ll see their own way…

Twenty twenty five
Screwy fucking time to be alive
Hate is spreading like wild fires
Winds of blame fan the flames (winds of blame)
Techno wizards charm the House
While cons and thieves creep
Into your backdoor causing a horrible stink
No time to confer with your prophet  or saint
Your god hopped on a Greyhound 
Hoping to make it out without a sound (without a sound) 

Twenty twenty five (twenty twenty five)
Screwy fucking time to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
Twenty twenty five (twenty twenty five)
Screwy fucking time to be alive
To be alive
To be alive

Orange skinned man
Faking a tan and a plan
Pretending to care (pretending)
About those who feel left behind
But his motive has its flaws
His followers all have claws
Ready to rip his imperial paper robes
Holding up a facade of nasty nakedness 
Disturbing. Distracting. 
Grotesque. Disgusting.

Disturbing. Disturbing. Distracting.
Twenty twenty five (twenty twenty five)
Screwy fucking time to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
Twenty twenty five
Screwy fucking time to be alive
To be alive
To be alive

Twenty twenty five (twenty twenty five)
Screwy fucking time to be alive
Hate is spreading like L.A. fires
Winds of blame fan the flames (winds of blame)
Techno wizards charm the House
While cons and thieves creep
Into your backdoor causing a horrible stir
No time to confer with your prophet  or saint
Your god hopped on a Greyhound 
Hoping to make it out without a sound
Without a sound
Without a sound

Twenty twenty five  ohhhhh

Twenty twenty five ohhhhh

Twenty twenty five ohhhh

twenty twenty-five
