Like a Fine Wine (Reprise)

The light comes up
I see the destruction
The light comes up
I see the destruction

Can I do this
I think I'm all right
Can I do this
I think I'm fine

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

there's more to life
Than materials things
Take my time
Don't let it control
Or bother me

I got this
I got it good
I got this
I got it good

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

Can I do this
I think I'm all right
Can I do this
I think I'm fine

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power
there's more to life
Than materials things

Take my time
Don't let it control
Or bother me

I got this
I got it good
I got this
I got it good

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

Embrace My Power

In this silence
I sit here and think
When will the day come
When will I be unique

What can I do
To make things happen
Do I let them believe
Or do I fake a happy

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

The fire
The ashes
The rubble
The torn
The destroyed
The damaged
The devastation
The burn

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

Dream of Greatness

What's right
What am I supposed to do
I know the truth inside
I do

Heal inside
Born to Climb
Heal inside
Born to Climb

I can achieve
The impossible
I can achieve
My dreams

I can achieve
The impossible
I can achieve
My dreams

Heal inside
Born to Climb
Heal inside
Born to Climb

I feel I was tricked
I feel forgotten
I feel down
Before I begotten

Heal inside
Born to Climb
Heal inside
Born to Climb

I'll tell you
I'm supposed to be
I'll tell you
I must be free

I'll tell you
I'm supposed to be
I'll tell you
I must be free

Heal inside
Born to Climb
Heal inside
Born to Climb

Believe
Believe
Believe

I'll tell you
I'm supposed to be
I'll tell you
I must be free

Heal inside
Born to Climb
Heal inside
Born to Climb

Another One Gone

🧀 This ain’t your average heartbreak song. This is dairy-fueled despair.

Some fall in love. Others melt into it — preferably over rigatoni. “Cheese on Pasta, Cheese on Bread” is a bittersweet serenade to the one who ghosted you... but left the Parmesan behind.

She whispered Nietzsche while sprinkling feta. She danced in your kitchen wearing socks and existential dread. And when she said “I need space,” she meant fridge space — for Manchego.

This track blends Indie Rock nostalgia, Jangle Pop sincerity, and a generous grating of Post-Punk pain. It’s romance with rind. Heartache with holes. And a solo you’ll spread on toast.

🎶 Because love fades… but cheese lingers.
🎸 Best served at midnight with a side of regret and a full-bodied red.

Lyrics:

You came in late with a Parmesan grin
Butter-soft voice and a fridge full of sin
Told me love’s like aged Gruyère —
Sharp on the tongue, but it lingers there

You stirred the pot while the world fell cold
Mozzarella dreams in a kitchen bowl
I said “don’t you think that’s too much?” —
You said “there’s no such thing as too much love”

And I watched you grate through storm and sun
Every fight paused… when the cheese begun
Even heartbreak — you’d just spread
On garlic toast, beside my bed

🎶 Cheese on pasta, cheese on bread —
Cheese on meat, that’s what I said
In every bite, you made me feel
Like melted truth was somehow real

Brie in sorrow, Swiss on joy —
Cheddar grief I can't destroy
You left, but left the fridge well-fed —
Cheese on pasta, cheese on bread 🎶

Now the shelf is cold, the butter’s gone
And I hum your song with the grill turned on
Your memory clings like ricotta ghosts
In midnight meals and crumbled toasts

I loved your quirks — your dairy flair
You kissed like Camembert, soft and rare
But love like that, it molds too fast
I still eat like you’re coming back

A tear drops in my mac and cheese
You’d say “it needs more pecorino, please”
Now every dinner’s staged in mime
A solo act in Reblochon time

🎶 Cheese on pasta, cheese on bread —
Cheese on meat, your voice still said
“Love’s a topping, not a plan” —
But I still shred it like you can

Feta sighs and Gouda gloom
Your apron’s ghost haunts this room
You’re gone, but in my heart you spread —
Cheese on pasta, cheese on bread 🎶

“You can’t fix a heart with fondue,” you said once.
But God, I’ve tried.

🎶 Cheese on pasta... cheese on pain...
You left, but the dairy remains... 🎶

Cheese
