Greetings From Suffocate City

Skinny Lies

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Whispers cradle my heavy mind
Gravity pulling me past the line
Inhale the dark, exhale control
Sleep—my comfort and my foe

[Verse 1]
Drifting deep through velvet haze
A lullaby in a pitch-black maze
Heartbeat slows, I'm losing touch
Reality fades, I’ve had enough...

Floating in a sea of stars,
But every wave conceals a scar
Lucid lies that wrap me tight
Cracks of peace in endless night...

[Chorus]
TAKE ME~!!!
Into the hollow of sleep
Where dreams decay and our secrets weep
HOLD ME~!!!!
'Til the morning breaks the curse
'Til I forget what made it worse

Save Me~!!!!
But every breath, and every scream—
Fuels the fire in this dream....

WAKE ME~!!!!!

[Verse 2]
Eyes shut tight, yet still I see
Reflections of the worst in me
A silent war beneath the skin
With battles sleep won’t let me win

I see your face, distorted lies
A thousand truths behind closed eyes
Restless bones, a withered plea
Sleep ain’t sanctuary—IT'S THE ENEMY~!!!

[Chorus]
TAKE ME~!!!
Into the hollow of sleep
Where dreams decay and our secrets weep
HOLD ME~!!!!
'Til the morning breaks the curse
'Til I forget what made it worse

[Post-Chorus]
Save Me~!!!!
But every breath, and every scream—
Fuels the fire in this dream....

WAKE ME~!!!!!

[Breakdown]
TRAPPED IN A NIGHTMARE I CALLED FOR PEACE
BUT NOW I DROWN IN THIS TWISTED RELEASE
EVERY WHISPER IS A CHOKING THREAD
I’M ALIVE INSIDE, BUT BARELY DEAD

[Final Chorus]
TAKE ME~!!!
Into the hollow of sleep
Where dreams decay and our secrets weep
HOLD ME~!!!!
'Til the morning breaks the curse
'Til I forget what made it worse

Oh—
It should be peace
But it's a storm I can’t escape
Sleep, why do you keep
Feeding me fate I didn’t shape?

[Outro]
Lull me down with whispered pain...
But I won’t wake the same again...

[End]

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos

------------------------

Summer is hard and full of temptation
A season where the haves have it better than ever
A season where the lonely break into pieces
I can't deal with it, seeing her just tears me apart
She's laughing in the sun with someone new
While I'm watching from the shadows, nothing I can do

Out of my depth and out of my reach
Gave up on the swiping, but I don't care
But I'd rather die alone than be another number in a vicious cycle
I choose my suffering over being a number

It's a mess
Ten years on the screen and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

Years of swiping, years of hope
Years of messages that helped me cope
Until the silence came, until they disappeared
Into someone else's bed, someone else's dreams
The pattern never breaks, it just repeats
Another face, another ghost, another heart that beats
For anyone but me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

The ones at the top of the pyramid will always get it good
At the expense of what?
All those begging for a chance
They get the matches, we get the silence
They get the dates, we get the violence
It's a sick world
Built on our loneliness

God save me from myself
Save me from the temptation
Save me from the pain
I'm praying for a way out
If there's a way
God save me from myself
Save me from the summer
Save me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death
When nothing's ever enough

Bring on the summer time
Bring on the summer time
Bring on the heat that burns
Bring on the truth that hurts
Bring on the summer time
I'll face it alone
Bring on the summer time
I choose my suffering

L Y R I C S : 
I see the truth in your eyes
I shook the noose that you tied
You loosen up all your lies
Afraid the angels survived

When you're choking
While you're holding
Me under will you let go

But what if I don't drown
I'll break your crown
I won't be slaved to your hatred weighed down
I won't drown
I won’t be broken 
You're choking 
Tie my feet to the stone and look down
I won’t drown

I found the pain in your chest
You say we're better depressed
You place yourself at the crest
Your sacrifice meaningless
I pray for you when your burning
You wouldn't do the same for me
You live on your knees for serpents

You
Break me down to
Build me back up
Can’t hide now
Living this numb
Break me down
Tell me you're done
When you say we're done

I see the truth in your eyes
I shook the noose that you tied
You loosen up all your lies
Afraid the angels survived

When you're choking
While you're holding
Me under will you let go

But what if I don't drown
I'll break your crown
I won't be slaved to your hatred weighed down
I won't drown
I won’t be broken 
You're choking 
Tie my feet to the stone and look down
I won’t drown

What if im drowning and I don't swim back up
What if my lungs give out am I out of luck
Would you forget me would you say you tried to
Save me
Save me
Save me

But what if I don't drown
I'll break your crown
I won't be slaved to your hatred weighed down
I won't drown
I won’t be broken 
You're choking 
Tie my feet to the stone and look down
I won’t drown

Anger Inside Me

Breaking Down (Revisited)

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Every day’s another burn, another sleepless night,
I stare at my phone, but there’s never a sign.
One word could save me, one could end it all,
“Yeah or no?” — I’m stuck against the wall.

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I enough, or just the second call?
A shadow waiting for your fall.
My head is screaming, my chest is tight,
You’re the calm — and I’m the fight.

[Chorus]
I’m breaking down, I’m losing ground,
Can’t stand the thought you’re with someone now.
I keep my distance, but it’s killing me,
Not to hold you, not to breathe you in.
I’m breaking down — I’m still your fool,
Tell me, am I enough for you?

[Verse 2]
Memories bite like open scars,
Old pain still drives the car.
I don’t want to push, don’t want to chain,
But silence feels like pouring rain.

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I the echo, or the sound you seek?
Do I matter when your nights get weak?
I try to fade, I try to hide,
But you’re the storm inside my mind.

[Chorus]
I’m breaking down, I’m losing ground,
Can’t stand the thought you’re with someone now.
I keep my distance, but it’s killing me,
Not to hold you, not to breathe you in.
I’m breaking down — I’m still your fool,
Tell me, am I enough for you?

[Bridge]
I’m not your cage, I’m not your chain,
But watching you drift away’s insane.
I bite my tongue, I stay polite,
While dying quiet every night.

[Final Chorus]
I’m breaking down, I’m losing ground,
Still waiting here, without a sound.
I keep my promise, but it cuts me through —
I won’t pressure you…
But tell me — was I ever enough for you?

Enough for You

UK and Cyprus-based songwriter and producer crafting melodies that bridge worlds. My music springs from life's raw experiences—the highs, the lows, and the moments of clarity in between.

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean shores of Cyprus and the rich musical heritage of the UK, I weave stories of faith, resilience, and hope into every track. My songs are conversations—honest reflections on the journey, celebrations of life's beauty, and reminders that even in our darkest moments, light finds a way.

When you listen to my music, you're not just hearing songs—you're experiencing chapters of a shared human story, one that acknowledges our struggles while embracing the possibility of tomorrow.

Join me as we explore what it means to live authentically, to believe in something greater, and to find meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
