Scarlet Street – THE STORM IS HERE

Never too Late

The mercury lights begin to flicker
The city's pulse is getting quicker
It pulls me into its embrace
To find my own forgotten space
I shed the person I pretend
And let a new me descend
Into the noise, into the sound
'Til there's no solid ground

And oh, this chemical halo
Is the only light I know
Your fractured smile is my escape
A beautiful and flawed new shape
And in your touch I feel the divine
A broken soul that looks like mine

We trade our secrets for a thrill
A hungry void we try to fill
We trace the scars we hide so well
Under this temporary spell
A sweet relief, a bitter sting
Forgetting almost everything

And oh, this chemical halo
Is the only light I know
Your fractured smile is my escape
A beautiful and flawed new shape
And in your touch I feel the divine
A broken soul that looks like mine

But morning comes, a loaded gun
Pointed at our fading fun
And for a moment, in the grey
I almost dare to turn away...

But oh, this chemical halo
Is the only light I know
Your fractured smile is my escape
A beautiful and flawed new shape
And in your touch I feel the divine
A broken soul that looks like mine

Looks like mine...

The Halo Is A Scar

And How It Tries

[Verse 1]
I picked a thought from the garden of noise,
It dripped down my hand like a voice,
Tasted sweet, then turned to static,
Guess I bit off something tragic.

I watered my doubt with caffeine dreams,
Grew a forest out of broken schemes,
Every color bled through time,
And I forgot which head was mine.

[Pre-Chorus]
All the clocks are bending slow,
My shadow hums in stereo,
If I speak too loud I fade,
Just fruit on a branch I made.

[Chorus]
Mindfruit — dripping from my ceiling,
Juice of all my twisted feelings,
Peel it back and watch me shine,
Rot or bloom, it’s all divine.

Mindfruit — bite it if you dare,
I’ve got galaxies tangled in my hair,
The seeds all hum, they know my name,
But nothing ever grows the same.

[Verse 2]
I swallowed a song and forgot the words,
Now melodies flutter like psychic birds,
They perch in my skull and sing in code,
While my body walks a different road.

Lick the light, it tastes like fear,
But I keep coming back every year,
This orchard grows where logic ends,
And every branch forgets to bend.

[Bridge]
The colors melt through veins of sound,
My roots lift off the haunted ground,
Can’t tell if I’m real or fruit of thought,
But every dream I’ve sold, I bought.

[Final Chorus]
Mindfruit — dripping through the dawn,
Reality hums, then it’s gone,
Peel it open, let it slide,
Bite the core and watch me hide.

Mindfruit — bitter, bright, and free,
Growing wild inside of me,
The sweetest taste of what’s not true,
But I keep eating just for you.

If I Could Change Your Mind (Radio Edit)

She thought that she could use him too, but he knew her game all along.

Ain't Got A Lot(3)

Sky Glider

We were shadows on the sidewalks,
Names we whispered in the wind.
Life pulled us in our own directions,
’Til the thread grew paper-thin.
All the birthdays that we missed,
All the laughter kept on hold,
Years turned into photographs
We forgot we still could hold.

But I still feel the echo,
Every time your name comes up…
Like a door we never opened
Still waiting for us.

(Chorus)
So here’s to the time we lost,
The moments that slipped through our hands,
We can’t rewrite the map behind us,
But the road ahead still stands.
Yeah, we’re older now,
But the story ain’t through,
Here’s to making time,
And finding our way back
To me and you.

Maybe life was just a whirlwind,
Maybe fear got in the way,
Maybe silence felt like safety
When we didn’t know what to say.
But your laughter still remembers me,
And mine still remembers you,
Two ghosts drifting in the distance
Who finally stepped back through.

And the weight of all those seasons
Feels a little lighter now…
We can build a better moment
Starting right here somehow.

(Chorus)
So here’s to the time we lost,
The moments that slipped through our hands,
We can’t rewrite the map behind us,
But the road ahead still stands.
Yeah, we’re older now,
But the story ain’t through,
Here’s to making time,
And finding our way back
To me and you.

No more “someday,”
No more drifting apart,
Let’s make the minutes matter,
Let’s restart the heart.
If the past was a lesson,
Then the future’s a sign,
We’re not out of chances,
We’re just right on time.

(Chorus)
To the time we lost,
And the days we’ll choose to make,
To the friendship still unbroken,
To the memories we’ll remake.
Yeah, we’re wiser now,
And the sky’s turning new,
Here’s to making time,
And finding our way back
To me and you.

[bonus track] To me and you

I am songwriter, and poet. I utilize AI to create and bring my songs to life. Ai is a tool that allows my voice to be heard. I strongly believe that music should take you on a journey and tell a story. The words should pull your emotions, and challenge what you think or feel. If a song or poem can’t do any of those things they are just words.

As a mental health advocate my song build on self empowerment and and getting the help you need. I am also advocate for suicide awareness. I don’t expect to get 4mil streams or win music awards. What I do expect to do is help the person that is doubting their self worth or existence. You better believe that is why I am doing this!
