1.Intro

"Castle" by Canyon City

Lyrics:

You asleep, rear backseat
I can see my breath
I’m waiting on caffeine
Like waiting on a bet

I wish I had a castle
To guard you from all fear
We’d laugh into the echo
A moat to hold the tears

Someday we’ll make it
Some way, I know
‘Til we hold it to the light like a counterfeit bill
We can hide out in a castle all our own

And we’ll throw dinner parties
With midnight moon our guest
Pretend we’re over far away seas
And not his empty rest

And we can walk the garden
If you go hide I’ll seek
Until the morning’s started
And I’ll go make ends meet

Someday we’ll make it
Some way, I know
‘Til we hold it to the light like a counterfeit bill
We can hide out in a castle all our own

If we can’t stay we’ll fake it
If we can’t pay, don’t cry
‘Til they hold me to the light like a counterfeit bill
We can hide out in a castle all night

I wish I had a magic machine
To castles in the sky
To take away from sadness between
The morning and the night
The morning and the night
The morning and the night

Castle

Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street

Halfway in a Dream

Halfway in a Dream (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
You rolled two lines off your tongue,
meaningless words, rehearsed and numb.
No deeper truth, just static noise,
a hollow act, a clever ploy.

To find a space in this cruel land,
you bowed your head, betrayed your stand.
You had to take or you’d have none,
forgotten what should not be undone.

[Pre-Chorus]
And still you rise, and still you smile,
those empty phrases bought you miles.
You walk through doors that once were closed,
with secrets only silence knows.

[Chorus]
Alone—
you haven’t felt love in years.
Alone—
not sure if someone missed you through the tears.
That feeling…
is the one you truly miss.

[Verse 2]
So now, go on, reshape your mind,
trade old beliefs for new design.
You turned your gold into the mud,
a kingdom crumbled into dust.

What once you had, you didn’t buy,
now you know the cost of that old lie.
You see how blind you’ve always been—
in love, in loss, in your own skin.

[Chorus]
Alone—
you haven’t felt love in years.
You don’t want to
be alone—
no memory that someone held you dear.
And that ache…
that’s what you truly fear.

[Bridge – dreamy instrumental / falsetto echoes]
“All that I am, I gave away…”
“The mirror cracked, but still I stay…”
“A wave of love, it pulled me out…”
“She changed me—there’s no doubt.”

[Final Chorus – full band, emotional lift]
You changed yourself and the world turned new,
a wave of love, it carried you.
Out of the cage, the golden haze,
away from guilt, away from blame.

[Outro – repeated, fading]
Yeah… yeah…
That’s the feeling…
That’s the feeling…
you were missing.
Yeah…

TAKEN ABACK

Was taken aback
Your shoulders were cold
Last night

You didn’t text back
Those pings in my phone
Were just spam

If there’s a chance I was wrong
I was getting paranoid
And Mad…

Perhaps in a while
You’ll come bringing some vino
And a smile

Is your silence necessary
Found your kisses just ordinary
It feels like, you won’t be back

But what truly matters 
In the world more than vino
Is the love that you are 
Missing from your heart

And there’s no magic dust
I am no Valentino
That will make you love me anymore

I’ll wait till tonight
To know if you are gone
From my life

I know it was my fault
Should have apologized
From the start

Is your silence necessary
Found your kisses just ordinary
It feels like, you won’t be back

But what truly matters 
In the world more than vino
Is the love that you are 
Missing from your heart

And there’s no magic dust
I am no Valentino
That will make you love me anymore
