Verse 1:
I walked the dark through shadows of regret,
Gave love a scar, a debt I can’t forget.
I forged my tales, with lies that cut so deep,
Now I see the ghosts in every sleepless leap.

Pre-Chorus:
Every secret's chains are dragging me down,
A heart once proud now wears a broken crown.

Chorus:
I'm a criminal, guilty of the heart, 
Took your trust and tore it all apart.
With every whisper, every selfish sin,
I buried you, and let the darkness in.
I'm a criminal, regret's my only friend,
And in this prison, I can't pretend.

Refrain:
I can’t pretend

Verse 2:
I stole the light, left you in the shade,
The sweetest smile now just a masquerade.
Each promise made turned brittle like the glass,
Now there's just silence where love used to pass.

Pre-Chorus:
Every secret's chains are dragging me down,
A heart once proud now wears a broken crown.

Chorus:
I'm a criminal, guilty of the heart,
Took your trust and tore it all apart.
With every whisper, every selfish sin,
I buried you, and let the darkness in.
I'm a criminal, regret's my only friend,
And in this prison, I can't pretend.

Bridge:
These hands are guilty, stained with shame, (I’m a criminal)
A life in ruins, I’m the one to blame. (I’m to blame)
In the depths of night, I hear my name, (I’m a criminal)
A whisper of the past, a haunting flame. (The past is haunting)

Pre-Chorus:
Every secret's chains are dragging me down,
A heart once proud now wears a broken crown.

Chorus:
I'm a criminal, guilty of the heart,
Took your trust and tore it all apart.
With every whisper, every selfish sin,
I buried you, and let the darkness in.
I'm a criminal, regret's my only friend,
And in this prison, I can't pretend.

Refrain:
Oh, I’m a criminal, I can’t pretend
I can’t pretend
I can’t pretend
I can’t pretend

Lyrics:

[Intro]
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Yeah...)

[Verse 1]
Met you under broken skies
Laughed until we tore the night
Drunk confessions, shattered pride
You pulled me into your fight

[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I'd choose her over you
You never knew the truth you knew
You never asked, I never lied
We lived inside a fading light

[Chorus]
You loved the ghost inside my mind
Loved the spectre you thought I'd be
You kissed the ashes of my pride
You never looked too deep in me
You wrapped your hands around a dream
But dreams decay eventually
You kissed a dream, not who I am
Now I’m just your fading man

[Verse 2]
Dinner plates and shallow cheers
I saw your hopes, I saw your fear
Your father's voice across the wire
Said I'm the spark to light your fire

[Pre-Chorus]
But you held tight to empty names
You needed more than truth and pain
You needed walls, you needed lies
Not someone lost behind their eyes

[Chorus]
You loved the ghost inside my mind
Loved the spectre you thought I'd be
You kissed the ashes of my pride
You never looked too deep in me
You wrapped your hands around a dream
But dreams decay eventually
You kissed a dream, not who I am
Now I’m just your fading man

[Bridge]
I was never what you needed
Just a shadow you believed in
Now you're reaching through the smoke
I'm already gone...

[Chorus]
You loved the ghost inside my mind
Loved the spectre you thought I'd be
You kissed the ashes of my pride
You never looked too deep in me
You wrapped your hands around a dream
But dreams decay eventually
You kissed a dream, not who I am
Now I’m just your fading man

[Outro]
(I’m fading in...)
(I’m fading in...)
Yeah...

LZX - Fading IN

Lyrics:

[Intro]
The silence screams louder than truth...
The same lies, and gaslights used...

[Verse 1]
They carve their lies into the weak
A thousand voices drowned beneath
Color, creed — a loaded gun
They fire hate just for fun

[Pre-Chorus]
Look into the eyes you fear
It’s your own reflection here

[Chorus]
We are the scars you choose to hide
Torn apart by your hate and pride
You point your finger, set the flame
But you're the monster with no name
These omens — of cruelty
Are written — in humanity

[Verse 2]
A child shamed for speaking strange
Mocked and beaten, called deranged
You kill with words, then blame the pain
Still smile while they go insane

[Pre-Chorus]
You justify with ancient lies
As innocence around you dies

[Chorus]
We are the scars you choose to hide
Torn apart by your hate and pride
You point your finger, set the flame
But you're the monster with no name
These omens — of cruelty
Are written — in humanity

[Bridge]
No god, no law can cleanse your hands
You built these walls with broken men
One race, one truth — just twisted chains
Of blood and fear and burned remains
THEY NEVER MATTERED!!!!

[Chorus]
We are the scars you choose to hide
Torn apart by your hate and pride
You point your finger, set the flame
But you're the monster with no name
These omens — of cruelty
Are written — in humanity

We are the scars you choose to hide
Torn apart by your hate and pride
You point your finger, set the flame
But you're the monster with no name
These omens — of cruelty
Are written — in humanity

[Outro]
You can't kill what you've already made
A world in your cruel parade...

LZX - Omens Of CRUELty

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
There once was a boy who gave his heart
Been broken too many times, too far
As he broke, his heart screamed aloud
A vow that forged a broken crown

[Pre-Chorus]
In the memory of who he once was
Once whole laid waste in broken parts

[Chorus]
Falling in the story of a broken boy
Hearing shattered hearts just to feel the noise
Plotting out a fallacy to feel an embrace
They fall in reverse when they hear the name

[Verse 2]
He raised a lot of hate to those above
Began to hate the system that fed him love
Rebelled against the being they called God
And broke the one standing in his palm

[Pre-Chorus]
In the memory of who he once was
A heart once pure, corruption starts

[Chorus]
Falling in the story of a broken boy
Hearing shattered hearts just to feel the noise
Plotting out a fallacy to feel an embrace
They fall in reverse when they hear the name
Falling in the story of a broken boy
Breaking hearts just to fill a void
Make mistakes then push the blame
They fall in reverse as they hear the name

[Bridge]
Made a symphony of broken eyes
They healed as time flies
Made a film from broken cries
Another heart, victim to his lies

Made a symphony of broken eyes
They healed as time flies
Made a film from broken cries
Another heart, victim to my lies

[Chorus]
Falling in the story of a broken boy
Hearing shattered hearts just to feel the noise
Plotting out a fallacy to feel an embrace
They fall in reverse when they hear my name
Falling in the story of a broken boy
Breaking hearts just to fill a void
Make mistakes then push the blame
They fall in reverse as they hear my name

[Outro]
Made a symphony of broken eyes
They healed as time flies
Made a film from broken cries
Another heart, victim to my lies

LZX - Falling In Reverse

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I played the role, the flawless knight
Built to protect, to do what’s right
But somewhere I lost the script
And fell from grace, from hero to hypocrite

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I’m not your savior
Blame me, shame me, erase me
I know I’m not your cure
I broke you, burned you, unsure

[Chorus]
I’m the chaos in your perfect frame
An echo screaming out your name
I’m the crown that never fit my head
A king of guilt, in sheets of red
I know you can’t forgive me now
But I still wear this paper crown

[Verse 2]
I second-guess my every breath
Rewind my sins, then skip to death
Tried to feel, but came up numb
Drowned in thoughts I can’t outrun

[Pre-Chorus]
You knew I couldn’t change
Judge me, fade me, estrange me
You knew the storm was mine
I cursed you, lost you, crossed the line

[Chorus]
I’m the chaos in your perfect frame
An echo screaming out your name
I’m the crown that never fit my head
A king of guilt, in sheets of red
I know you can’t forgive me now
But I still wear this paper crown

[Bridge]
I’m not the man I tried to be
A shadow of the tragedy
Every step, a new mistake
But this regret I can’t unmake

[Final Chorus]
I’m the chaos in your perfect frame
An echo screaming out your name
I’m the crown that never fit my head
A king of guilt, in sheets of red
I know you can’t forgive me now
But I still wear this paper crown

[Outro]
I know you can’t forgive me...
But I still wear this crown...
This paper crown...

LZX - Paper Crown

Lyrics:

[Intro, Tension-building guitar]
(Yeah...)
You really did it this time, didn’t you?

[Verse 1]
Every lie you fed me, every crooked smile
Like poison dripping sweet for just a little while
Thought you broke me, left me in your dust
But now I'm seething, every breath's disgust

[Pre-Chorus, Rising drums]
I'm not your victim, not your friend
This is where your story ends

[Chorus, Explosive guitars, Screamed backing vocals]
I could hate you ‘til the sun burns out
Every word you said, I scream and shout
Rip your name from every wall
I’d watch your empire fall
No forgiveness, no peace to be found
I could hate you 'til the world burns down

[Verse 2, Snarling vocals]
I kept the blade you stabbed my back with
Hung it up like a trophy, a perfect fit
You wore a mask, now it’s cracked and torn
Now I see the demon that was always born

[Pre-Chorus, Dark strings build]
So raise your glass to all your lies
Watch it shatter in your eyes

[Chorus, Powerpop Chorus with grit]
I could hate you ‘til the sun burns out
Every word you said, I scream and shout
Rip your name from every wall
I’d watch your empire fall
No forgiveness, no peace to be found
I could hate you 'til the world burns down

[Bridge, Chaotic instrumental break, Spoken word under distortion]
You wanna know how deep this rage goes?
Count every sleepless night.
Every scar you can't see.
That’s the fire I’m made of now.

[Break, Melodic Bass + Screamed Vocals]
(Burn it! Burn it!)
No second chances
You lit the match — now watch the ashes

[Chorus, Full band, Orchestral flair]
I could hate you ‘til the sun burns out
Every word you said, I scream and shout
Rip your name from every wall
I’d watch your empire fall
No forgiveness, no peace to be found
I could hate you 'til the world burns down

[Outro, Piano fadeout, Whispered vocals]
This isn’t over...
But you are.

LZX - Burn It To The Ground

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Caught in the sway of your voice in the dark
Every return leaves a deeper mark

[Verse 1]
You come back like storm tide rising
Same old eyes, just better hiding
The silence screams when you reappear
I brace myself, still pull you near

[Pre-Chorus]
You speak in sparks, I breathe in smoke
Each promise new, but always broke

[Chorus]
I tried to walk, but the floor gave way
You pulled me back with the words you say
Good, good to bad, bad to worse
Back to good but it works
You kiss like war, then leave like peace
A thousand cuts with no release
Good, good to bad, bad to worse
Back to good but it works

[Verse 2]
You write apologies in air
And I pretend I didn’t care
We love like we’re both out of time
Like every heartbeat is a crime

[Pre-Chorus]
You pull the trigger, call it fate
But love should never detonate

[Chorus]
I tried to walk, but the floor gave way
You pulled me back with the words you say
Good, good to bad, bad to worse
Back to good but it works
You kiss like war, then leave like peace
A thousand cuts with no release
Good, good to bad, bad to worse
Back to good but it works

[Bridge]
I counted all the times we broke
Each one a line across my throat
But still I stay, still play the part
Like leaving you would break my heart
(This time, I swear I’ll fade away)
(But we both know I’ll choose to stay)

[Chorus]
I tried to walk, but the floor gave way
You pulled me back with the words you say
Good, good to bad, bad to worse
Back to good but it works
You kiss like war, then leave like peace
A thousand cuts with no release
Good, good to bad, bad to worse
Back to good but it works

[Outro]
Good, good to bad, bad to worse
Back to good but it works

LZX - Whiplash Waltz

[Verse 1]
Clouds in my head, it was 2AM
Alone with my doubts, drowning in them again
Memories flickered like fire on a thread
I stumbled on a photo, one I thought was dead
Looking so happy, like nothing could end
Love in our smiles, just waiting to bend
Everything crumbled, but I still pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
I swore I’d move past it
But why does it still hit?

[Chorus]
Can’t tear away the pieces of you
All these ghosts know what I’ve been through
Remnants of love, I tried to erase
Pictures gone, but I still see your face
Inside my mind, you still echo slow
Over and over, I just can’t let you go

[Verse 2]
Chased down my thoughts with a violent will
All those files, I deleted them still
Made myself feel like I had control
I screamed at the silence, filling the hole
Letting you go, at least in device
Losing you twice doesn't make it right
Even now, you're the thief in the night

[Bridge]
I thought that healing meant forgetting
But your shadow is always setting
Inside the corners I never clean
You haunt the spaces in between

[Chorus]
Can’t tear away the pieces of you
All these ghosts know what I’ve been through
Remnants of love, I tried to erase
Pictures gone, but I still see your face
Inside my mind, you still echo slow
Over and over, I just can’t let you go

[Outro]
But I still can’t let you go
(Still can’t let you go)

LZX - Memories I Can't Burn

[Intro]
A garden grave, where echoes stay
My heart breaks quietly — in disarray
Like petals soaked in monochrome
I bloom alone, I bloom alone
I BLOOM ALONE!!

[Verse 1]
Each day I scream "I love you" out loud
You turn away, head lost in the crowd
Yeah, I’ve earned the blame, I take the weight
But even bruised, I won’t walk away

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I won't fade with time’s cruel dare
Even in death’s arms — I’ll meet you there

[Chorus]
I’d rather be a bed of flowers
Buried deep in soil’s embrace
Than watch you weigh me down for hours
With every flaw you can't replace
Love’s a field of thorns and fire
Still, I’d lie there — pure, entire
Wilting gently, lost to time
If that means you’d call me mine

[Verse 2]
I flinch at couples holding hands
‘Cause we just don’t fit the plans
Yet I wear hope like a threadbare cloak
Knowing one day, our fire might stoke
I’ll lift your soul when mine is torn
Your dreams — the reason I was born
And every night, it plays again
Your arms — my favorite pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I won't fade with time’s cruel dare
Even in death’s arms — I’ll meet you there

[Chorus]
I’d rather be a bed of flowers
Buried deep in soil’s embrace
Than watch you weigh me down for hours
With every flaw you can't replace
Love’s a field of thorns and fire
Still, I’d lie there — pure, entire
Wilting gently, lost to time
If that means you’d call me mine

[Bridge]
Still — I’m human, stitched with flaws
A mind with logic, hands with claws
I reason, rage, regret, repeat
A gentle heart beneath the heat

[Chorus]
I’d rather be a bed of flowers
Buried deep in soil’s embrace
Than watch you weigh me down for hours
With every flaw you can't replace
Love’s a field of thorns and fire
Still, I’d lie there — pure, entire
Wilting gently, lost to time
If that means you’d call me mine

[Outro]
A garden grave, where echoes stay
My heart breaks quietly — in disarray
Like petals soaked in monochrome
I bloom alone, I bloom alone, alone

LZX - Bed Of Flowers

Lyrics:

[Intro]
You hit play, sunlight caught in your eyes
Threads of neon, a glance that defies
I said, “That song might sound better in time”
You laughed — and that’s how our worlds aligned

[Verse 1]
You’d text like fire, then fall like snow
Disappear days, then steal the show
In worlds of fabric, paint, and flair
You felt alive, I floated there
New to love, still learning pace
But I kept running just to chase
You’d speak of love like practiced art
But never let me past the start

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the fault lines in your smile
Still I stayed another mile

[Chorus]
You were smoke and mirrors, crafted disguise
A dream dissolving behind your eyes 
I reached through silence, reached through doubt
But every time, you shut me out
I came to lift, you turned away
Like I was wrong for wanting to stay
I chased your ghost until I burned
Now I’m the one who finally learned

[Verse 2]
Your words were sparks, but they’d go cold
You’d draw me close, then lose control
Exam week, the pressure rose
But I still fought for what you chose
You said, “I can’t give love for real”
But I believed the words you’d seal

[Pre-Chorus]
You wore your pain like porcelain
I held it tight, afraid to spin

[Chorus]
You were smoke and mirrors, crafted disguise
A dream dissolving behind your eyes
I reached through silence, reached through doubt
But every time, you shut me out
I came to lift, you turned away
Like I was wrong for wanting to stay
I chased your ghost until I burned
Now I’m the one who finally learned

[Bridge]
You said kindness made you choke
That care was just a twisted joke
I memorized your every line
But lost myself in each design

[Chorus]
You were smoke and mirrors, nothing true
But I kept hoping I’d see through
I gave you all, I gave you light
But you just vanished into night
And when I came just to be near
You made me fade — like I was never here
Now I walk through silent years
Haunted by your smoke and mirrors

[Outro]
We met like sparks across the air
Now you're a shadow that isn’t there

LZX - Smoke & Mirrors

Lyrics:

[Intro]
You crossed a line we couldn’t mend
So this is where it has to end

[Verse 1]
We built this bond through fire and night
Fought side by side in every fight
But one sharp lie, one selfish play
And trust began to slip away

[Pre-Chorus]
We stood with you till the cracks got wide
Now we’ve got nothing left to hide

[Chorus]
We’re leaving you outside, in the coldest light
Like a door you slammed without a right
One wrong step, then you looked away
And we watched the friendship start to fray
We tried, we reached, we stood, we cried
But this time, we can’t stand by your side

[Verse 2]
We covered for you, time and again
But truth can’t live inside pretend
You tossed our names to save your face
Now we’re walking from this place

[Pre-Chorus]
We gave you chances, one by one
But even patience comes undone

[Chorus]
We’re leaving you outside, like a fading flame
No more part in this losing game
One sharp word, and the damage spread
Now we bury what we once called "friend"
We hoped, we hurt, we held on tight
But now we're stepping into the night

[Bridge]
This isn't revenge, it’s not disdain
It’s knowing we can’t take more pain

[Break, Instrumental Waltz Interlude]

[Chorus]
We’re leaving you outside, with your shattered pride
Like a ship we watched capsize
One last plea couldn’t change the end
So we said goodbye, not just pretend
We cared, we fought, we bled, we tried
But not all friendships survive the tide

[Outro]
We turn around, we don’t forget
But walking on is our last regret
We loved you once — But not like this
