Searching for a River

Streetlights bleeding through the rain-streaked glass
Another Tuesday fades into the past
You paint your promises in shades of grey
Beautiful mirage that fades... away

Dancing on a floor of fractured trust
Our faded masterpiece turning into dust

This is our velvet goodbye - silent, sweet decay
No screaming words, just watching colors drain away
Final sip of wine, neon-haunted room
Chasing ghosts of forgotten blooms
Velvet goodbye - softest, sharpest pain
Beautiful ending in the pouring rain

I trace the silence hanging in the air
The ghost of laughter that we used to share
Midnight drives and stolen time - perfect crime
Now the echo's all that's left to hold
Story that's already growing cold

This is our velvet goodbye - (mmm) silent, sweet decay
No screaming words, just watching colors drain (fade) away
Final sip of wine, neon-haunted room (haunted room)
Chasing ghosts of forgotten blooms
Velvet goodbye - softest, sharpest pain (oh, the pain)
Beautiful ending in the pouring rain (rain, rain)

In the rain...
In the rain...
Velvet... velvet...

Mmm... goodbye...
Fading, fading away
Velvet...

when everything falls apart, you find out what you’re really made of. 💔🔥 A story of pain, lessons, and strength.

Life Upside Down

No trace 

[Verse 1]
Your love was a slow burn, sweet and toxic,
Drippin’ down my veins, I couldn’t stop it.
Every word you whispered felt like truth,
Till I woke up cold, detoxin’ from you.
[Pre-Chorus]
You were my medicine and my disease,
Fed me the high, then watched me bleed.
Now I’m learning how to breathe again,
Without your ghost beneath my skin.
[Chorus]
Now I’m clean, no trace of your taste,
No more running back to that place.
Took all your poison, I made it through,
Now the fever’s gone, and so are you.
No more nights I confuse love and abuse,
I’m finally free — I’m finally through.
[Verse 2]
Your touch was a fever I kept craving,
A twisted kind of love worth saving.
You left me hollow, still I’d crawl,
Like a fool still waiting for withdrawal.
[Pre-Chorus]
You were my fix, my fire, my sin,
I lost myself just to let you in.
Now the silence feels like truth,
And freedom tastes like something new.
[Chorus]
Now I’m clean, no trace of your taste,
No more running back to that place.
Took all your poison, I made it through,
Now the fever’s gone, and so are you.
No more nights I confuse love and abuse,
I’m finally free — I’m done with you.
[Bridge]
Every scar reminds me where I’ve been,
Every tear was my medicine.
Now I’m standing on my own two feet,
Your ghost can’t pull me underneath.
[Final Chorus]
Now I’m clean, my veins brand new,
Was blind before, now I see through.
You were the lesson I had to lose,
Now I’m healed — I’m done with you.
Yeah, I’m clean from the pain I used to choose,
I’m free, I’m free from you.

A simple soul 2-stepper romantic homage to 80s tracks. Returning to the love and the groove of the classic late night grooves that built a whole baby boom by themselves.
