Better Half Of Me

Better Half Of Me By Ryan Mack

Warten auf morgen

[Verse 1 ]
Lately I’ve been wakin’ up tired
Heart heavy like a stone, Lord knows
Tried to wear a smile, but I’m wired
Feelin’ way too much… on my own

I’ve been strong for a long, long time
But even soldiers lay down their fight
So come sit with me in the shadows, 
Just tell me it’s gonna be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t need fixin’
Don’t need savin’
Just somebody who ain’t runnin’
When the dark comes chasin’

[Chorus]
Will you hold me through
When the sky falls down like rain?
When I’m breakin’ in two
Will you help me bear the pain?
I don’t need that sunshine, no
Just your hand in mine
If the whole world’s slippin’ away
Will you hold me, hold me through?

[Verse 2 ]
Got dreams I don’t even speak
‘Fraid they won’t survive the light
And I gave love so deep and true
But sometimes love ain’t right

Yeah, I learned to stand when it all fell down
Built my house on broken ground
But tonight I’m just lookin’ for
Someone who sticks around

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t need answers
Don’t need angels
Just you… stayin’ faithful

[Chorus]
Will you hold me through
When the world gets loud with pain?
When I’m breakin’ clean in two
Will you help me stand again?
I don’t need to win this war
I just need you by my side
If the night cuts right through
Will you hold me, hold me through?

[Bridge]
Yeah, I got faith… but I still shake
Even strong hearts got hearts that break
Don’t fix the pain… just stay.

[Final Chorus]
Hold me through
When the cold wind blows too hard
When I’m losin’ sight of who I am
Will your love still be my spark?
I don’t need no crown or throne
I just need to know I’m known
When it’s more than I can do...
Will you hold me hold me through?

[Outro]
Hold me through...
Yeah... just hold me through

Hold Me Through

Steel in Our souls

O say, can you see... the truth behind the anthem?

From MAGA-era politics and scandal denial to racial discrimination and illegal detentions — this modern protest anthem asks the question: Does that star-spangled banner still wave for us all?

Through the Smoke and the Spin

In a haunting, poetic protest ballad, Once a Beacon (Now Mercy Hides Behind Closed Doors) explores the erosion of America's foundational ideals. Told through the fading voice of the Statue of Liberty, this powerful piece reflects on injustice, immigration, inequality, and the broken promises of a nation once seen as a beacon of hope.

With vivid lyrics and emotional weight, the song speaks to the unheard voices—the displaced, the poor, the betrayed—and challenges listeners to see the truth behind the symbols we often take for granted.

Once a Beacon (Now Mercy Hides Behind Closed Doors)

“Truth Between the Lines” is a raw, emotional ballad exploring the collapse of a once-deep friendship under the weight of silence, unspoken truths, and personal battles. Set against memories of shared joy—Scotland trips, midnight drives—it traces a painful journey through betrayal, mental health struggles, and unresolved grief. With poetic lyrics and haunting honesty, the song captures the ache of connection lost and the hope that truth still lingers, waiting to be understood.
Whether you've lived through a friendship breakdown, felt unseen, or battled to be heard, this song speaks to the truths that live quietly between words—and between hearts.

Truth Between the Lines

Just Like Oklahoma

I wrote this track because there is so much people do not know about me. They think I've had an easy life my whole life and that couldn't be further from the truth. I wish I could tell them where I've been, but they would never believe me.

I Wish

“Orphans of the Storm” is an unapologetic protest anthem for the unheard voices trapped in the shadows of power and corruption.

With raw, poetic lyrics confronting systemic injustice, broken dreams, and political deceit — from cages to courtrooms — this song is a battle cry for unity, truth, and revolution.

✨ If you stand for freedom, if you feel betrayed, if you dream of a land made whole — this is your song. Let’s rise together, with fire in our hands.

Orphans of the Storm

Falling In Love.

Sorry Mama

A raw, emotional indie-alt track about reclaiming identity after years of people-pleasing, emotional sacrifice, and silence. Enough of Me explores what it means to finally stop shaping yourself to fit others’ needs and to start living for yourself. With a powerful build from ambient piano and soft vocals to an anthemic, defiant final chorus, this song is both a breakdown and a breakthrough. For anyone who’s ever lost themselves trying to be everything for everyone.

Enough of Me

So much time under the bridge now... rolling on a swollen river... 

sometimes I wonder... if I should just move on... so many days been dark and hazy... it's difficult to find my way hey... hey... ooo... yaa...

I put one foot in front of the other... like we all  do... all the time... mmmm... hhmm... 
Does it get me to where I'm going... 

what does it take to get me there... can you tell me my future...  are you the one that holds the dice... and if you really existed... 

ha ha... wouldn't that be nice... oooo... 
So much time under the bridge now... rolling on a swollen river... sometimes I wonder... if I should just move on... so many days been dark and hazy... it's difficult to find my way... hey... hey... ooo... yaa....


Mystic misty mountain morning... the scent of patchouli oil strong... everything feels so zen like and we all just get along... when the river comes a calling... will you be ready to go...
You better have a pack set up and ready to roll...
With your entire house hold...


So much time under the bridge now... rolling on a swollen river... sometimes I wonder... if I should just move on... so many days been dark and hazy... it's difficult to find my way... hey... hey... ooo... yaa...


I try to walk the line... but what if I realize this line ain't my life?... I may seek a new beginning... .one that you do not know... does that make me a bad guy... and push me out to thee unknown? 
So much time has gone by now.... what I have in front  of me... I hold in the palm of my hand...


So much time under the bridge now... rolling on a swollen river... sometimes I wonder... if I should just move on... so many days been dark and hazy... it's difficult to find my way... hey... hey... ooo... yaa...

Wherever you Go

[Solo]
[Beautiful introduction]

[Verse]
You walk in the room
The sun feels small
Every shadow runs
Every wall might fall
Your laugh's a melody
It skips like stones
How do you do it
Lighting hearts like homes

[Prechorus]
You’re a spark
You’re a flame
Every day
Never the same

[Chorus]
You spread joy wherever you go
Like confetti in the breeze
Let it show
You light up the dark
You let it glow
You spread joy wherever you go

[Verse 2]
Your smile’s a river
It sweeps the ground
Even the rain tries to dance around
Clouds don’t linger
They just pass through
Every corner shines when it meets you

[Chorus]
You spread joy wherever you go
Like confetti in the breeze
Let it show
You light up the dark
You let it glow
You spread joy wherever you go

[Bridge]
What’s your secret
How’s it done
You carry the moon
You carry the sun
Every moment’s better
Brighter
New
The world’s a canvas
Painted by you

[Verse 3]
You walk in the room
The sun feels small
Every shadow runs
Every wall might fall
Your laugh's a melody
It skips like stones
How do you do it
Lighting hearts like homes
