Dark nights. Bright lights. White noise.

Tragedy is proof that even the most fragile spark can ignite an inferno. It’s a reminder that no matter how small you feel, every step carries the weight to rewrite eternity. A whisper can shatter silence, a ripple can split oceans, and a single choice can fracture or forge reality itself. This song isn’t about surviving gravity—it’s about bending it, showing that the tiniest wings can still shift the entire sky. Tragedy is the butterfly effect set to music: one move, one moment, forever altering the script of existence.


Hook

Even broken flight patterns, still I’m facing gravity,
Kids outta touch, disconnected from reality,
Butterfly flappin’, chain-reaction tragedy,
One wrong move flip the script—total casualty.


---

Verse 1

He said a butterfly with broken wings still flutterin’,
Storm on my back, but I run it like I’m thundering,
Every little choice turn the future into wondering,
Past full of pain but I channel what it’s summoning.

Dominoes tip—watch the ripple through the system,
One spark flare set a city in collision,
Life move fast—split-second decisions,
Stand in the fire and I sharpen my precision.


---

Hook

Even broken flight patterns, still I’m facing gravity,
Kids outta touch, disconnected from reality,
Butterfly flappin’, chain-reaction tragedy,
One wrong move flip the script—total casualty.


---

Verse 2

One flap, tidal waves buildin’ in the distance,
One thought shift turn a dream to a sentence,
Seen boys fall ‘cause they couldn’t keep persistence,
Now I guard every step like my soul on a mission.

Walk that line with a shadow on my shoulder,
Heart turned cold but the flame burn bolder,
Cuts from the past, now the scars turn soldier,
Truth in my veins—can’t deny what I told ya.


---

Hook

Even broken flight patterns, still I’m facing gravity,
Kids outta touch, disconnected from reality,
Butterfly flappin’, chain-reaction tragedy,
One wrong move flip the script—total casualty.


---

Verse 3

Broke from the cocoon, now I’m movin’ with momentum,
Mistakes in my path—turn ‘em all into lessons,
Time ripple out, shift the fate in a second,
Mind real sharp like a blade when it’s tempered.

Joyner drew lines, now I’m sketchin’ my revision,
Butterfly effect—redesign the collision,
Chaos in my path but I move with precision,
Beauty in the madness, that’s the real definition.


---

Hook (Outro)

Even broken flight patterns, still I’m facing gravity,
Kids outta touch, disconnected from reality,
Butterfly flappin’, chain-reaction tragedy,
One wrong move flip the script—total casualty.

Tragedy

Some Loops Make you. Some Loops break you. The pain outlived the moment, so I wrote it into eternity.

Intro – 4 bars]
Love don’t heal, it just cuts me deeper,
Every “forever” just a broken teaser.
Sayin’ we done but you call when you’re lonely,
Love is a war and the wounds still own me.


---

[Verse 1 – 16 bars | The Break]
You told me that we couldn’t be together,
Over and over again, it felt like forever.
But I never thought forever would end,
Didn’t think “us” was too fragile to bend.

I gave you my soul and you weaponized trust,
Turned my soft into steel, turned my love into rust.
I held on tight, but the grip drew blood,
Now the memory of us drips thick like mud.

You swore that space would heal what words can’t fix,
But silence just echoed like a crucifix.
I prayed for your love like a saint in the dark,
But you lit the match, then you burned my heart.


---

[Hook – 8 bars | The Lesson]
Love hurts—
It don’t just scar the skin, it tattoos the soul.
Love hurts—
A war in my chest that I can’t control.
Love hurts—
It whispers “stay” while it teaches me to go.
Love hurts—
But I still keep coming back like I don’t know.


---

[Verse 2 – 16 bars | The Aftermath]
I loved you like a lifeline, you loved me like a dare,
I jumped without a parachute, you never even cared.
Every “forever” we painted washed away like chalk,
Now I’m pacing empty rooms where your ghost still talks.

I replay lies in my head like a movie reel,
Every scene got sharper, every cut won’t heal.
You said love was patience, said love was kind,
But you weaponized affection and colonized my mind.

I lost sleep for a dream that was never mine,
Lost peace for a love that refused to shine.
Now silence is the only language I trust,
And the loudest heartbreak is the one that rusts.


---

[Bridge – 8 bars | Confession]
Maybe pain is proof that the love was true,
If it ain’t breakin’ me slowly, then it ain’t love too.
I hate how your absence still breathes in my chest,
And the ghost of your touch won’t let me rest.


---

[Hook – Repeat]
Love hurts—
It don’t just scar the skin, it tattoos the soul.
Love hurts—
A war in my chest that I can’t control.
Love hurts—
It whispers “stay” while it teaches me to go.
Love hurts—
But I still keep coming back like I don’t know.


---

[Outro – 4 bars | The Scar]
You told me we couldn’t be together—
Over and over again, it felt like forever.
But forever was fragile, it slipped through my hands,
Now I stand with the pain, but at least I still stand.

Forever

this isn't love. it's cardboard romance.

I don’t need the truth if it kills me slow,
Keep your secrets buried where I’ll never go.
’Cause if your love is fading, I don’t wanna see,
I’d rather lose the lie than let it bury me.


--- 

[Verse 1 – The Suspicion] 

Your smile don’t feel the same, it’s colder when you kiss,
Your body’s here beside me, but your soul’s somewhere adrift.
I trace the lines between us, they’re broken, they don’t fit,
And the “forever” that we promised feels like smoke I can’t resist. 

Nights are getting longer, silence cuts me deep,
I can hear you talking softly in your sleep.
Every shadow in the room turns into doubt,
I try to hold my faith, but it keeps bleeding out.


--- 

[Pre-Hook] 

Tell me — is it love or just habit on repeat?
Am I holding onto ashes while you’re hiding gasoline?


--- 

[Hook] 

I don’t need the truth if it kills me slow,
Keep your secrets buried where I’ll never go.
’Cause if your love is fading, I don’t wanna see,
I’d rather lose the lie than let it bury me.


--- 

[Verse 2 – The Fall] 

I gave you every piece of me, but pieces disappear,
Now the echo of your laughter is the only thing I hear.
You said you’d never wander, but I see it in your stare,
Like you’re reaching for a future that don’t have me there. 

I’d rather play the fool than face the broken end,
’Cause the truth is just a weapon dressed up like a friend.
If you’re gone already, don’t let me watch you leave,
Just let me drown in fiction — it’s the lie I choose to breathe.


--- 

[Bridge – Self-Awareness] 

Love can be a poison, but I sip it just the same,
Chasing every heartbeat like a moth inside the flame.
If you’ve already moved on, don’t carve it in my skin,
Let me keep the fairytale, I don’t need to know who wins.


--- 

[Final Hook / Outro] 

I don’t need the truth if it kills me slow,
Keep your secrets buried where I’ll never go.
’Cause if your love is fading, I don’t wanna see,
I’d rather lose the lie than let it bury me. 

(Whispered / fading out:)
Don’t let it bury me…

Cardboard Romance

It’s easy to blame the fire… until you realize you lit the match.

Intro
I swore you broke me
But the cracks were carved by my own hands
I blamed your fire
When the smoke was from the bridges I burned

Verse 1 — False Alarm
I cried wolf; every porch light split the night
But the scars I showed were carved from my own fight
Said your love was poison running slow
But I mixed the vial, signed it, drank it just for show

I swore you locked me, but I forged the chains
Built the prison walls, then cried you were to blame
Told the world you carved me into grief
But the knife was mine… I rehearsed every scene

Pre-Chorus
You asked for truth, I gave you a disguise
Turned your questions into riddles, let the answer die
I begged for mercy, swore I couldn’t see
Signed your name in the script, but the actor was me

Chorus
You kept chasing shadows through the night
But every shadow was born from my light
I cried wolf until the echoes set me free
But the wolf they feared
Was me

Verse 2 — Mask Falls
You reached for honesty, I gave you disguise
Built a script of my collapse, sold the pain as lies
Swore you froze me out in bitter skies
But the frost was mine — I let it crystallize

I called your silence cruelty, called it proof
But my tongue tied knots and pulled the ceiling from the roof
Wrote you as the ending I outgrew
But the margins spelled my fingerprints in glue

Bridge
I wore my wounds like armor, loud and proud
Turned my trauma into theater, sold the tickets to a crowd
You reached with steady hands to pull me through
I sharpened secrets into knives and turned them back on you

My compass kept on spinning, nowhere left to go
Pointed to my chest — the only map I’d ever know

Final Chorus
You kept chasing shadows through the night
But every shadow was born from my light
I cried wolf until the echoes set me free
And when they met the wolf… they only met me

No curse to break, no monster left to flee
I cried wolf
And the wolf was me

Outro
It’s easy to seem holy when a lie wears white
Harder to admit I turned the day to night
So here’s the line I never let you see
I wasn’t haunted
I was haunting
Me

The Wolf Was Me

A galaxy of secrets colliding in the silence between heartbeats. Leaving behind whispers heavy enough to bend constellations.

Pillow Talk (Final)

Intro (Bare, Whispered)
Midnight’s courtroom, sheets hold the trial,
Two fugitives confessin’ where the world ain’t in denial.
No judge, no jury, just whispers on skin,
Every truth we bury crawls out from within.


---

Verse 1
You said your boss breaks you, but never breaks bread,
Praise handed out to ghosts, while you starve instead.
Friends pop bottles, but never pick up calls,
Champagne loyalty that shatters when it falls.

Then your voice cracked soft when his name left your lips,
Said your boyfriend’s love feels like shackles on your wrists.
You dream of freedom but you wake up in chains,
Call it “home,” but it echoes with someone else’s pain.


---

Hook (Haunting, Layered)
Pillow talk—truth bleeds through the seams,
Midnight sermons stitched in fragile dreams.
We baptized our sins where the cotton turned cold,
Pillow talk—the confessions never told.


---

Verse 2
You spoke of your mother like a ghost in the hall,
Raised yourself alone, still you answer every call.
I told you ‘bout my demons, how they whisper when it’s still,
Voices sharpen knives just to test my will.

You laughed with a fracture, said the bed’s our disguise,
A booth for broken souls where the lies vaporize.
Every word we etched was a scar turned hymn,
And the pillow kept the secrets we carved into the dim.


---

Bridge (Build, Urgent)
If these sheets had tongues, they’d auction our past,
Expose every truth we swore would never last.
But they just hold weight, like the graves of the old,
Silent executioner of secrets never told.


---

Hook (Bigger, Echoed)
Pillow talk—truth bleeds through the seams,
Midnight sermons stitched in fragile dreams.
We baptized our sins where the cotton turned cold,
Pillow talk—the confessions never told.


---

Outro (Fading, Unresolved)
Dawn creeps in, shadows flee the floor,
But the pillow keeps the echoes of the night before.
We’ll act like strangers when the daylight takes hold,
But the fabric still remembers—every secret never told.
