Inspiration: Facing relationship strains

----------------
LYRICS:

Empty coffee cups on different sides of the bed
Sunrise paints your window, my night hasn't even bled
We built our world on laughter, now a void fills the air
Cracks in the foundation, a love beyond repair

We used to talk for hours, now the silence screams so loud
This hollow coexistence hangs like a thundercloud

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

You scroll through social feeds, while I chase fading dreams
Weekends spent in silence, lost in separate streams
Remember when we'd laugh, when our touches would ignite
Now our gazes barely meet, lost in the fading light

We used to talk for hours, now silence screams so loud
This hollow coexistence hangs like a thundercloud

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

Maybe if we tear it down, we can rebuild anew
Start over, stronger, with a love that's more than true
But for now the walls are crumbling, the cracks run far too deep
Are we past the point of saving? Are we destined not to keep

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

Maps To Nowhere In Particular

Velvet Petals ignite with "Rise," an immensely powerful and uplifting arena rock anthem.

"Rise" is an inspirational call to overcome, let the heavens sing, and find transformation through endless motion. #VelvetPetals #Rise #ArenaRock #AnthemicRock #SoulOfTheUniverse #UpliftingMusic #EpicRock

Rise

There are times you don't know what to do, go out and drink is not the solution, just go home and talk it out.

Waiting for you

Lyrics

Intro – Spoken/half-sung, atmospheric]
Yeah, they trim the trees,
They rake the fire away.
Build fences strong,
But can’t outrun the laws today.

[Verse 1]
Juan’s got a scar that runs ear to chin,
Said it came from Sonora, not from sin.
He brings his boy on Sundays, just to play
Near the pool he’ll never swim in anyway.

[Verse 2]
Mowin’ lawns under redwood shade,
Hands in dirt while the rich get paid.
Sings to the birds in broken slang—
Every word feels like a chain that hangs.

[Verse 3]
They came last night in unmarked vans,
Took three men like they weren’t even men.
Left their tools in the morning dew,
Leaf blowers still, boots filled with truth.

Verse – Chicano’s Voice]
I send my pay to a border town,
Where mamá lights candles when the sun goes down.
My name’s not ‘hey’ or ‘you in the hat
I got stories, but no time for that.


[Bridge – whispered, rising tension]
Is this freedom, is this fear?
Do we only welcome those we mirror?
My friend cries but hides his face—
Guilt’s a shadow you can’t erase.

[Final Chorus – crescendo, all-out delivery]
They build your world and vanish in the smoke,
Names unspoken, dreams that broke.
You walk on marble, they crawl through flames,
Still you can’t even learn their names.
No green card, no last call—
But they stood taller than us all.

Eucalyptus Blues

i still wear your hoodie when it rains,
smells like fall and old mistakes.
you said forever, now it feels to far
now it feels way to farrrr

the leaves are dead, like what we had,
i keep pretending it’s not that bad.
but, every song still sounds like you,
and i don’t know what im supposed to do.
what im supposed to do.

you were the light in a small town night,
felt like fire, now it’s just white noise.
i talk to the wind, i wait for a sign,
but it’s just cold air and wasted time.
its just cold air and wasted timeeee

maybe you forgot, but i can’t let go,
love like ours still leaves, a shadow.
and i still wear your hoodie when it rains,
im trying to wash off all the pain..

you were the light in a small town night,
felt like fire, now it’s just white noise.
i talk to the wind, i wait for a sign,
but it’s just cold air and wasted time.
its just cold air and wasted timeeee

rain songs and ghosts

[Verse 1:]
Please, please, please—I’m begging here
Can I wake up in a world that feels sincere?
Where the people I love are close, not gone
Where I didn’t trade my soul just to carry on

I’m frozen stiff, I’m aching deep
In every bone, in every sleep
I threw away the things that mattered
Played with fire, let my whole world shatter

[Pre-Chorus:]
How the hell did I let it slip?
Why’d I panic when it all made sense?
Why’d I throw love off the edge
Just ‘cause we had a fight, just ‘cause I flinched?

[Chorus:]
No, nothing can be perfect
But we were more than good enough
Now I’m buried in the darkness
Dug myself a hole too rough
Please, please, please
Help me set this right
I know it’s up to me…
But damn it—give me back my life

[Verse 2:]
I’ve walked through fire, self-made hell
Tortured my soul till it forgot how to yell
I left the light, chose pain instead
Treated love like a game, till it bled

Why didn’t I let myself be loved?
Why’d I run when push came to hug?
I blamed the stars, I cursed the sky
But maybe the fault’s just me this time

[Pre-Chorus:]
Maybe I had to lose it all
To learn what not to let fall
Maybe I had to break apart
To feel the beating in my heart

[Chorus:]
No, nothing can be perfect
But we were more than worth the fight
Now I’m stuck beneath the surface
Suffocating in my own spite
Please, please, please
Help me make it right
I know I’ve got to move…
But God, give me back my life

[Bridge:]
I don’t have to stay alone
I don’t have to be this ghost
There’s a strength in me somewhere
That I need the most
It’s not God’s fault, not fate, not time
This one’s on me—but I can still climb

[Final Chorus:]
No, nothing can be perfect
But I can still rebuild tonight
I’ve got blood, I’ve got breath
I’ve got one last spark of fight
Please, please, please
Let me see the light
I know I’ve got to rise…
So I’m taking back my life

Give Me Back My Life

Number03

A journey from the end of days to the rise of an empire.

Rusted Halo (Ashes And Empire)

If you've ever felt like a ghost in a getaway car...

★ Raw • Haunting • Cathartic ★

Dive into a ghost story where pop-punk’s confessional rage meets hauntcore’s eerie intimacy. This acoustic-driven track wraps desperate highway imagery ("headlights, red lights, sirens bright") in stripped back guitar rawness, capturing the exhaustion of outrunning your own shadow.

Key themes:

☠️ Self haunting (“I’m my own worst memory”)

🚗 Escapism’s dead ends (“Can’t outrun myself in either lane”)

⚰️ Resignation (“Dig myself into a little plot of grass”)

Lyrics:

I distanced myself to see what would stay near
Admittedly I don't see much, all too clear
Head lights, red lights, and sirens bright at the rear
But the subject in the mirror is much closer than it appears

And I see it now, the ghost I tried to leave
Following me down these empty streets
I believe it now, like you used to say
I'm my own worst memory

Windows down, July rain as cold as your glare
Heavy is the head, cold wind, silence in the air
Better left unsaid, can't speak what's not here
Never tried my best, couldn't make myself seem to care

But every mile I drive is a roadside flare
Double parked going sixty, lighting a cigarette, texting "I'm almost there"
Can’t outrun myself, in either lane, always left, right, disappear
Wind blows tumble weeds down a familiar road of tears

And I see it now, the ghost I tried to leave
Following me down these empty streets
I believe it now, like you used to say
I'm my own worst memory

Am I running from the past or chasing what’s ahead?
These sirens behind me can’t drown what’s in my dread
The lights are getting closer, fear is getting clear
Is it a dead end ahead or highway deer

Rearview conversations I never will outpace
Every mile marker takes a turn to make their case
Tires drift the shoulder, rubber stays in place
Fell asleep at the wheel trying to erase

And I see it now, where I was supposed to be
Spent to much time at lights in disbelief
I believe you now, I just don't trust the memory
Cause you can't get that far with a tank on E

I missed my turn a while back
Think I'll park in the shade
Dig myself into a little plot of grass
I tire of taking winding paths too fast, too fast
