The Feeling Stays

Lost souls

[Verse]
I live my life in fear
They don't understand
And they will never hear
I've had it up to here
These voices in my head that tell me what to feel

[Chorus]
Oh
The voices I hear
Oh
The voices I hear
[Verse 2]
I never learned how to cry
My mother raised me strong
These voices don't lie
They tell me to cut myself and tell my friends
"Goodbye"

[Chorus]
Oh
The voices I hear
Oh
The voices I hear
Oh
The voices I hear
Oh
The voices I hear

VOICES I HEAR

Love Story

Peach

[Verse 1]
A peach against my lips
slow and sweet
skin splitting like spring—
juice warm sliding off my tongue
sticky on my fingers

[Pre-Chorus]
This is how love should taste
delightful mature—
something that clings
something you sink into

[Chorus]
And it lingers—
on my hands on my breath
like your laughter
when you enter the room
And it stays—
on my skin in my chest
like your scent
when you’re gone too soon

[Verse 2]
Later I wash my hands
wipe my lip clean
but sweetness won’t let go—
your presence is in everything

[Chorus]
And it lingers—
on my hands on my breath
like your laughter
when you enter the room
And it stays—
on my skin, in my chest
like your scent
when you’re gone too soon  

[Outro]
Love should taste this way—
Sweet and never fade

Peach

WITHOUT YOU expresses an intense dependence on someone who feels irreplaceable, portraying love as both a lifeline and an obsession. It captures the struggle of trying to move on while being constantly pulled back by memories and emotions that refuse to fade. The lyrics reveal vulnerability, longing, and the inability to imagine life without that person, framing them as the center of existence. It’s a powerful declaration of love’s grip, where absence feels unbearable and presence defines identity.

LYRIC

Verse

Every day I wake, I still hear your name
Like a song stuck deep in my veins
Tried to move, tried to play it cool
But I’m falling hard, like a reckless fool

Pre-Chorus

You’re the reason that I lose my ground
When you’re not near, I spin around
Don’t tell me it’s just a phase
I’m caught in your magnetic haze

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Verse

Every room I walk through feels too wide
You were the pulse that fit inside
No map can guide me from your trace
I still see your face in every place

Pre-Chorus

Told myself I’d be just fine
But you’re the frame to my broken line
You’re the spark that lights my fire
The only name I still desire

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the start of every moment, the place where I end
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you

Bridge

I’ve tried to rewrite all our lines
But every word still leads me back in time
You’re the rhythm I can’t replace
Still feel your hand, still see your face

Chorus

I can’t live without you, no way to pretend
You’re the beat that never ends
I can’t breathe, I can’t fake it
This is real, I can’t shake it
I can’t live, I can’t live without you
No, I can’t live, I can’t live without you
