DREAMS

“Ghost of December” is about forgiveness and finding the courage to release old wounds and embrace unconditional love. It’s about discovering that healing broken hearts takes vulnerability, trust, honesty, and forgiveness—and that love can overcome even the darkest past.

LYRICS
VERSE 1 
I was longing, looking, he was lost, hiding, killing time.
I was lonely, drifting slowly, Thought I'd lost my mind.
He said he loved me, needing me close by his side.
Then he took a plane, flew back to her arms, not mine.
He shared love songs, pictures, the same stories he'd tell.
Gave me the same sweet gifts he gave to her as well.

TAG
I still can't forget those lies from last December.
I'm holding on to faith; my dreams won't surrender!

PRE-CHORUS
Is it ever gonna be over, lover?
When the ghost of December haunts my sleep…
Is it ever gonna be lovely, lover?
When history stops tugging at me?

CHORUS
He was already taken, times two… what was he thinking?
Careless with my heart, his lies—I can’t erase them.
He calls me “baby,” “Hun,” says I’m the only one…
Is it because she’s gone? Am I the consolation?



BRIDGE (fastest)
Let’s bury the ghosts… come tuck me in.
Bad dreams end, where you begin.
Let true love guide us, as we right the wrong.
I’m here, I’m staying, I’m holding on.
Let’s bury the ghosts… come tuck me in.
Bad dreams end, where you begin.
Let true love guide us, as we right the wrong.
I’m here, I’m staying, I’m holding on.

VERSE 2 
He says those ways are gone, forever in the past,
I see regret in his eyes—sorrow he can’t mask.
Yet here I stand this moment, longing to believe,
That he’s done with secrets still hidden up his sleeve.
He vows he has grown, swears he won't ever repeat—
Let me softly rest in love, and set these fears free.

TAG
I still can't forget those lies from last December—
I'm holding on to faith; my dreams won't surrender!

PRE-CHORUS 2
Is it ever gonna be over, lover?
When the ghost of December haunts my sleep…
Is it ever gonna be lovely, lover?
When history stops tugging at me?


FINAL CHORUS 
He was already taken, times two… what was he thinking?
Careless with my heart, his lies—I can’t erase them.
He calls me “baby,” “Hun,” says I’m the only one—
If he’s reborn, I’ll stand by him… praying my mended heart will come.

OUTRO 
I'm the one you choose. I'm the one you keep,
Baby, come for me and put me back to sleep.

Lie to Me (I Lie to You) [Fairy Tales]

Spectacular [ You Are ]

This song is about finding warmth and comfort in love during the colder, darker days of autumn. For me, it’s about how someone’s presence can make everything feel safe and bright, even when the world turns grey. It’s a reminder that love can be our calm through any storm.

Leaves are falling down the lane,

Outro

October Rain

“Second Chances” is a heartfelt ballad that explores the journey from regret and loss to hope and self-forgiveness. Through vivid imagery—empty chairs, missing faces, and the silence left behind—the song tells the story of someone who’s traded old habits for a chance at redemption, only to find that some wounds linger and forgiveness isn’t always granted. With a powerful chorus and a moving outro, “Second Chances” resonates with anyone who’s struggled to rebuild after mistakes and longs for reconciliation. Kenny Rae’s honest lyrics and emotional delivery make this song a standout for fans of soulful storytelling and raw, relatable music.

Lyrics:

Today is my birthday
No wrapping paper on the floor
Because I am fifty
No one buys me presents anymore

But it’s ok, I’ve had a few before
I wipe the tears from my eyes

And think back
To that little boy
Surrounded by boxes of joy, and
He’s sitting there wondering what
His life will be like
When he’s fifty

The clouds are gathering
We’re all just flowers in the rain
I’m getting used to it
Well, I’m good friends with the pain

But it’s ok, I know there’s not long left
I wipe the tears from my eyes

And think back
To that little boy
Surrounded by boxes of joy
He’s sitting there wondering what
His life will be like
When he’s fifty
When he’s fifty

When you’re fifty
Life is strange
When you’re fifty
When you’re fifty
Life is strange
When you’re fifty
I can see my house from here
Life is strange
When you're fifty
Life is strange
When you get here

But it’s ok, I've had a few before
I wipe the tears from my eyes

And think back
To that little boy
Surrounded by boxes of joy
He’s sitting there wondering what
His life will be like
When he’s fifty

Fifty (I can see my house from here)

[Verse 1]
My sleepless nights come from loving you more than myself
Our names are written in the sky like fate that never melts
But in your eyes I’m some cursed shadow you keep away
Is that why you run from me? Why you always fade?

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t know…
You can’t escape the story written for us two
Maybe if your lips just touched mine once
This curse would fall right off of you…

[Chorus]
Will you deny us one more time again?
While I feel you in every breath I take
Sleepless nights, my heartbeat racing fast
Trying to run but you're still in my chest
I keep moving forward, you stay frozen there
Watching me in silence like you don’t care
I’m burning with the screams I hold inside
But you stay distant, hiding in the night

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wonder, “Am I just a weaker man?”
But I’m the only one who tries while you just watch me stand
There’s a storm inside my chest, but you keep that same face
I’m on fire from the inside, and you turn away

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe…
You never tried to truly feel my heart
But I felt you every time
Every beat, every spark…

[Chorus]
Will you deny us one more time again?
While I feel you in every breath I take
Sleepless nights, my heartbeat racing fast
Trying to run but you're still in my chest
I keep moving forward, you stay frozen there
Watching me in silence like you don’t care
I’m burning with the screams I hold inside
But you stay distant, hiding in the night

[Bridge – build up]
Don’t run from me, you can’t outrun destiny
I’m still the closest one to you, can’t you see?
One step is enough to break this in half
But you keep hiding in your shadow’s path

[Drop / Post-Chorus]
There’s no escape…
You’re written deep in me, too deep to erase
There’s no escape…
Your fire in me never fades
There’s no escape…


Sleepless for You”

[Verse 1]
Fire hit me like a bullet to the chest,
Bad news burned everything we had left.
Memories— turned to ashes on the floor,
You walked away, like I meant nothing anymore.

I opened every door inside my heart,
But you were blind, you tore it all apart.
I fell into the flames, you watched me fade,
Cold eyes, no mercy — that’s the choice you made.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once you were my princess — now you’re just a ghost,
I waited for one step back, but you left me froze.
(Yeah) A storm is breaking out,
(Yeah) I’m done, I’m screaming loud!

[Chorus – Strong vocal, aggressive]
IT’S OVER! Pages burned, the story’s done and sealed!
I’M STRONGER! Every scar is now a part I learned to heal!
I set you free — don’t you dare come back to me,
I shine alone now — YOU CAN’T BREAK WHAT’S LEFT OF ME!

(Hook)
Oh-oh, I walked through fire and survived,
Oh-oh, no turning back this time!
Web135 beat, guitars hit like a fist,
I rise — nothing left of me to fix!

[Verse 2]
You raised your pride like a flag in the sky,
I fought my demons just to stay alive.
Once gentle, fragile in my eyes,
But masks fall — truth cuts like a knife.

[Bridge – Distorted vocal grit]
Maybe in another life, on another stage,
We meet again, rewrite the page.
But not tonight — my heart’s locked away,
Words hit like bullets — BAM BAM — ricochet!

[Final Chorus – Double guitars, shouted layers]
IT’S OVER! No return, that road is closed for good!
I’M BRAVER! Burned down the chains you never understood!
From the ashes, I stand — brighter than I’ve ever been,
You can’t kill my flame —
I’M ALIVE, I RISE AGAIN!
