The days flow gently, like whispered sighs,
I watch the world with half-closed eyes.
The moments flicker, they melt and bend,
As tears drift by, my heart I mend.

Shadows dancing in the soft twilight,
My thoughts wander in the ember light.
Dreams once vivid now fade to mist,
As tears drift by, by sorrow kissed.

Oh, time it weaves a tapestry,
Of joy and pain, of you and me.
In every thread, a tender cry,
As tears drift by, beneath the sky.

We held the sun in our embrace,
But seasons change, and so does grace.
Now memories in silence lie,
As tears drift by, like stars on high.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The gentle rhythm of the waves at sea,
Mirrors the pulse of our sweet memory.
In every crest and every sigh,
As tears drift by, the echoes fly.

Yet in my heart, a flicker stays,
Of warmer times and golden days.
Though now I let the past reside,
As tears drift by, I'm still alive.

[Outro]
The gentle rhythm of the waves at sea,
Mirrors the pulse of our sweet memory.
In every crest and every sigh,
As tears drift by, the echoes fly.

[Instrumental]

For in the flow of time, we see,
The beauty of life's melody.

Stories of the days retold,
In every touch, a memory,
Of what we've shared, eternally.

And with each dawn, a new surprise,
A world of wonder in our eyes.

We'll hold to every smile and tear,
For in the flow of time, we see,
The beauty of life's melody.

When I was young
Something touched me
I was orphaned in the war
Returned a ghost
Before its time
I didn't know what I was fighting for

And I came back
To a place I no longer knew
And I saw injuries
My youth could not recover from

[Outro]
As the tears swell
In my tired bones
And the storm approaches me
I will make a simple plea
And when in December
All the leaves are gone
Let me rest and be at ease
As I think upon my many years
As I think upon my many years

You were mine
And I'm the kid you left behind
So we hope by the lake
That love will save the day
And all is made anew
God
I wish that I could stay

I wasn't meant to find you
You were a shot in the dark
But God
If I knew me
It would be hard

And spin around in two-toned vans
How funny is it to call it art
The easiest love can be the hardest part

The clutch of oblivion
Though it waits for me
Welcome back forgotten one
The spotlight is too blinding

Beyond the senses lies the path of wisdom
Where knowledge is made known
And the heart once swallowed re-emerges
Nothing more than a beat against a bone

Loosen
Tighten
Already open
Equalizers interwoven
Just let go
Easy to say
Cause the thorns still stickin' in my hands and feet

Equalizers interwoven
Just let go
Easy come
Easy go

Easy gone

Tighten
Already open

Care too much about too many things
I say what I like and I like what I need

I care too much about everything
And it's everything that came with you and me
What about me? Me

This is prison
An addiction
And I hate listenin' to my gut
But here I go again
The lines always end the same
I love you
I don't

[Verse 2]
This isn't fair
It's understood
We let misery linger like the smell of good fear
Yeah
We're raging mad
I make you sad
You make me feel bad
So why do I want you so bad?

[Chorus]
Why don't we
Give up
Give in
Give each other a break?
Why don't we cut the tape
Call it a wrap

[Break]

[Verse 3]
'Cause I don't want you
So who wants who?
You know I don't want you
Don't want you
Don't make me say it
Out loud
Out loud, out loud
I've already said it a thousand times
Don't make me say it

[Break]

[Verse 4]
I don't want you
I'm so sorry
I find you so boring
Wanna ignore you
But I can't
'Cause you say goodbye
And I go wild
I wanna see you
Every second
Every moment of my life so

[Refrain]
Why don't we
Give up
Give in
Give each other a break?
Why don't we cut the tape
Call it a wrap?

[Break]

[Refrain]
Why don't we
Give up
Give in
Give each other a break?
Why don't we cut the tape
Call it a wrap?

Comet star drifting afar

Me, rest my wings
Lightless my halo waits
Resurrecting a faith 
That fell so far from grace
That I couldn't see
See the light within me
Follow me, I'll be guiding

[Chorus]
Maybe I will maybe I won't
Maybe I can maybe I won't
Just let go, let go
Only if we free will we learn
Only if we embrace will we turn
Let go, let go

Rest my wings
Lightless my halo waits
Resurrecting a faith 
That fell so far from grace
That I couldn't see
See the light within me
Follow me, I'll be guiding

[Chorus]
Maybe I will maybe I won't
Maybe I can maybe I won't
Just let go, let go
Only if we free will we learn
Only if we embrace will we turn
Maybe I will maybe I won't 
Maybe I can maybe I won't

[Verse]
The first kiss was electric  
The fourth tore me apart  
I don’t recall the second  
But the third still owns my heart  
And it’s only now I see it  
For what it was, not what I dreamed  
Just a fleeting spark in the dark  

[Verse 2]
This year has been unkind  
To the faithless, to the frail  
On my worst days, I’ve believed  
That every hope is doomed to fail  
And this is just another thread  
In a tapestry of half-formed dreams  
And desperate, fading schemes  

[Chorus]
I need you to understand  
I never meant to lie to you  
I just couldn’t face the truth  
And if I speak it now  
My lies were born of hope  
They carried dreams  
Of a brighter reality  
I never meant to lie to you  
I just couldn’t face the truth  
And if I’m honest now  
My lies were just a shield  
To hide the cracks  
In my fragile fantasy 

[Break]

[Outro]
And maybe my worst lies  
Are the ones I tell myself  
I’m sorry for the worst lies  
The ones I sold myself  
Oh, the ones I sold myself  

[End]

[Verse ]
They didn’t hear the shot,  
So they assumed the gun was fake.  
But the body on the ground  
Tells a truth they won’t face.  

[Verse 2]
You can argue all the ethics,  
Weigh the consequences of both,  
But my child, you can’t wake up  
Someone pretending to sleep.  

[Verse 3]
There was a tree growing  
In the middle of the stream.  
Its roots were cut away,  
But it kept floating on and on 

[Verse 4]
Boats passed by in silence,  
Their crews saw the tree.  
They waved and they shouted,  
But it drifted aimlessly.  

[Bridge]
So you can argue all the ethics,  
Weigh the consequences of both,  
But my child, you can’t wake up  
Someone pretending to sleep.  

[Chorus]
My child, you cannot wake up  
Someone pretending to sleep.  
No, you cannot wake up  
Someone lost in their deceit.

[Verse 1]
I've been lookin' for the wrong kind of answers  
I've been askin' questions that don’t lead me home  
I've been dancin' in the wrong kind of circles  
Countin' blessings that don’t add up on my own  
I've been livin' with the weight of my mistakes  
But I’ve been writin’ songs that set my spirit free  
I’ve been findin’ friends who light the way ahead  
And I’ve been startin’ trends that feel like destiny  

[Chorus]
So if it seems like I'm not keepin' pace
If it looks like I’m fallin’ behind  
It’s ’cause I took the scenic route  
And I’ll get there in my own time  

[Verse 2]
I’ve been findin’ pieces of the real kind of me  
I’ve been searchin’ for a love that sets me right  
I’ve been tryin’ every wrong that leads me true  
And I’ve been reachin’ for a higher kind of light  

[Chorus]
So if it seems like I'm not keepin' pace
If it looks like I’m fallin’ behind  
It’s ’cause I took the scenic route  
And I’ll get there in my own time  

[Bridge] 
You can take the fast lane, I’ll take the backroads  
You’ll take the blacktop, I’ll take the dirt roads  
You’ll drive the Corvette, I’ll take the Ford truck  
You’ll get there first, but I’ll know the way by heart  

[Chorus]
So if it seems like I'm not keepin' pace
If it looks like I’m fallin’ behind  
It’s ’cause I took the scenic route  
And I’ll get there with my soul aligned  

[Outro]
And the view’s worth the climb.  

[End]



Scenic Route

"Laws of Life" is a playfully sardonic jazz ballad that turns the rules of physics into a late-night barstool confession. Over smoky piano, loose brushed drums, and a meandering guitar, the song chronicles love, regret, and bad decisions with a wink.

The lyrics twist scientific laws into metaphors for human chaos (gravity = falling off a barstool, entropy = a bartender’s phone number), while the melody slinks between world-weary crooning and bright, almost vaudevillian hooks. It’s the sound of a philosopher nursing a whiskey, laughing at their own heartbreak—because if what goes up must come down, you might as well sing about it.

[Verse]
What goes up comes down
That’s the law of physics
I can’t go home with you
That’s the law of attraction

[Verse 2]
I fell off the barstool and cracked a tooth
That’s the law of gravity
I keep singing to the void
That’s the law of averages

[Chorus]
You might as well love the one you’re with
‘Cause the last one was a walking regret
You’ll do something dumb again
If what goes up comes down

[Verse 3]
All my friends are married with kids
That’s the law of inertia
The bartender slipped me his number
That’s the law of entropy

[Verse 4]
My doctor said I ought to stop
That’s the law of time
I stepped off the treadmill, took a shot
That’s the law of heat exchange

[Bridge]
Maybe laws were made to break
Maybe I’m just a loose particle
Spinning out of orbit again
Crash into me like an accident
And call it chemistry

[Break]

[Chorus]
You might as well love the one you’re with
‘Cause the last one was a walking regret
You’ll do something dumb again
If what goes up comes down

[Break]

[Outro]
You might as well love the one you’re with
‘Cause the last one was a walking regret
You’ll do something dumb again
If what goes up comes down
You’ll do something dumb again
If what goes up comes down

[End]



Laws of Life

"Fall Into You" is a tender, dreamy ballad about finding solace in love after exhaustion and chaos. The lyrics paint a picture of someone physically and emotionally drained, seeking refuge in their partner’s presence—where the world’s noise fades, and all that’s left is the warmth of coming home. With intimate metaphors (falling like a tide, shadows dissolving into light), the song blends vulnerability and devotion, wrapped in a lush, cinematic soundscape that sways between minimalist verses and soaring choruses. it’s a soundtrack for quiet car rides at dusk and the moment you collapse into the arms of the one who feels like home.

[Verse 1]
Driving home, my thoughts get a little restless
Been a long day, but the night melts when I’m near you
Everything else feels a little useless
My mind is yours, and there’s nothin’ I wouldn’t do

[Pre-Chorus]
The world fades out, just a whisper of sound
But your voice is the tide pullin’ me down

[Chorus]
When I’m tired and when I’m done
You pull me closer
And when I’m fallin’
I fall into you
You are the moment
The only light that I see
And when I’m fallin’
I fall into you
And it feels like home

[Break]

[Verse 2]
You are the one I need
Like the air, like the dawn breaking through
You are the one I need
And it feels like home with you

[Pre-Chorus]
The world fades out, just a whisper of sound
But your voice is the tide pullin’ me down

[Chorus]
When I’m tired and when I’m done
You pull me closer
And when I’m fallin’
I fall into you
You are the moment
The only light that I see
And when I’m fallin’
I fall into you
And it feels like home

[Bridge]
Every shadow fades when you hold me
My mind is yours, there’s no line I wouldn’t cross for you

[Chorus]
When I’m tired and when I’m done
You pull me closer
And when I’m fallin’
I fall into you
You are the moment
The only light that I see
And when I’m fallin’
I fall into you
And it feels like home

[End]



Fall Into You

"Round in Circles" is a minimalist Alternative R&B track that explores the cyclical nature of self-sabotage in relationships and existential uncertainty. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional detachment, comparing love to an endless loop—like a Ferris wheel or carousel—where intimacy leads nowhere but the same repetitive heartache. The chorus deepens the theme with striking metaphors of existential dread, framing life as fragile and chaotic ("a house of cards on a concrete bed"). Yet, the bridge introduces a glimmer of hope, questioning whether staying in the cycle could somehow make it meaningful. The haunting, repetitive outro mirrors the song’s central motif, leaving the listener suspended in its hypnotic, unresolved tension.

[Verse 1]
If you want it,
You can get it,
But I'm tellin' you to never fall in love with me.
Like a Ferris wheel, I’m spinnin’,
You’ll just go round in circles if you come with me.

[Break]

[Verse 2] 
If you need it,
I’ll regret it,
‘Cause I’ll only let you down eventually.
Like a carousel,
No winner—
Just the same old view if you ride with me.

[Chorus] 
It’s a traffic jam of existential dread,
Red lights flash but no one stops to stare.
Life’s a house of cards on a concrete bed,
One wrong move and we’re all just
Nowhere

[Verse 3] 
If you want it,
You can get it,
But I'm tellin' you to never fall in love with me.
Like a Ferris wheel, I’m spinnin’,
You’ll just go round in circles if you come with me.

[Bridge]
But if you stay…
Maybe we’ll spin forever,
Maybe the wheels will rust.
Maybe the dread won’t matter,
When it’s just us.

[Chorus] 
It’s a traffic jam of existential dread,
Horns are blarin’— do you even care?
Life’s a house of cards on a concrete bed,
I can’t breathe… but who isn’t scared to be there?

[Outro]
Round… and round…
Round… and round…

[End]


Round in Circles

A haunting eco-folk ballad told by Earth’s last standing tree as it watches its forest fall. With the sorrow of a whispered ghost story and the urgency of a dying wish, sparse guitar and a lone trembling voice unfold the tale. Bowed bass murmurs beneath verses, while tremolo strings swell into the chorus, deepening the anguish. By the final whisper, listeners are left chilled by the weight of what’s already gone.

[Verse 1]
First they took the willow’s sighs,
Then the redwoods, stripped and skinned.
Now the crows don’t call at morning—
Just the grind of steel on wind.

[Chorus]
Is there anyone who’ll listen?
Or am I the last who knows?
I can taste the diesel drifting…
Count my rings as the last one goes.

[Break]

[Verse 2]
They called it “better sunlight,”
Laid the concrete like a shroud.
Men in suits point at my branches,
Say, “It’s prettier as a cloud.”

[Bridge]
Do you hear my roots snap, cracking?
Does the earth still feel it too?
Or am I just a ghost already—
Just a shadow they’ll walk through?

[Final Chorus]
Now I know there’s no one coming…
No more stories left to grow.
Just the hush of falling timber—
Then the world they’ll never know.

[End]


Final Tree’s Lament

"Fairytale" is a dreamy lo-fi synth-pop ballad that explores the dissonance between our digital illusions and aching need for real connection—a melancholic lullaby for the digital age. Like staring at a cracked phone screen under blankets, the song lingers in the eerie glow of late-night scrolling, its whispered vocals wrapped in warped synths and glitchy percussion. From artificial voice interludes to verses humming with tape-hiss intimacy, it mirrors a lyrical journey from numb detachment to sudden clarity. By the final chorus, the music dissolves into the quiet aftermath of a digital awakening, leaving only the ghost of a notification ping. This is melancholic synth-pop at its most raw: a faded polaroid of 3AM existentialism in the smartphone era.

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time in a dim little room,
The outside world hummed through walls like a tune.
And the glow of a screen, so bright yet so cold,
Made it all feel unreal.

[Verse 2]
There was a person with a world in their hand,
Endless vacations on digital sand.
Perfect faces, no cracks, no end
Just a highlight reel.

[Chorus]
Maybe I should put this thing down,
Step outside, feel the ground.
Open my eyes, let it heal
'Cause this is just a fairytale.

[Break]

[Verse 3]
Once upon a time, there was a fool like me,
One foot in dreams, one lost in the screen.
A cage full of wires, a prison of light
But nothing was real.

[Verse 4]
They tore through the noise, cut the strings,
Left the bright little lies for the weight of real things.
And the thing in their hand? Just a key to the truth
Not what’s real.

[Final Chorus]
So I’m gonna put this thing down,
Let the silence drown out the sound.
Finally see, finally feel
Life’s no fairytale.

[End]



Fairytale

"Before Goodbye" is a hauntingly beautiful dream-pop ballad wrapped in layers of ambient textures and shoegaze melancholy. A repeating, hypnotic guitar motif weaves through muffled, distant drums, creating a sense of suspended time—like a fading memory or the quiet ache of an ending. The lyrics capture the unspoken weight of parting, where words fail and emotions pulse through breath, touch, and the fragile hope of one last dance. The chorus lingers like an echo, while the bridge offers a tender, resigned comfort—"It’s alright… we’ll fade like sand." By the outro, the music itself becomes the ghost of what’s left unsaid, leaving only the whisper: "It’s alright..." A song for twilight moments, where goodbyes are felt more than spoken.

[Verse 1]
One last dance
Under the dimming light
I can’t find the words
So I let my pulse speak instead

[Chorus]
Before goodbye
Before goodbye
Step into the night
Before goodbye

[Verse 2]
You try to say
What’s on your mind
But the words dissolve like rain
You let your breath speak instead

[Chorus]
Before goodbye
Before goodbye
Step into the night
Before goodbye

[Bridge]
It’s alright
Just take my hand
It’s alright
We’ll fade like sand
It’s alright
Just one more chance
One last dance

[Verse 3]
The song is over
The room goes still
We said goodbye
But the music lingers… will it always will?

[Final Chorus]
Now it’s goodbye
Now it’s goodbye
No more dances
Just goodbye

[Outro]
It’s alright
The last thing left to know

Before Goodbye

"Be Yourself" – A bold, swaggering fusion of K-Pop's high-energy polish and hip-hop's defiant edge, blending explosive beats with an unapologetic self-love message. This fiery anthem is a battle cry against fakeness, merging hip-hop bravado ("No one does you like you") with K-Pop’s infectious positivity—perfect for a solo artist or group’s powerful comeback track.

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you somethin’ you should already know
It ain’t in the status or the places you go
Not the names you drop or the things you’ve seen
It’s the heart inside that’s always been

[Verse 2]
Stop wearin’ a mask like it’s all you’ve got
Don’t trade your truth for a temporary spot
Everyone’s taken—there’s no need to fake it
No one does you like you, so why waste it?

[Chorus]
Be yourself
Everyone else is already taken
Be yourself
The real you’s worth the awakenin’

[Break]

[Verse 3] 
Funny how the things I preach, I forget to hear
Chasin’ validation outta doubt and fear
But the mirror whispers what I need to see
The only "me" I’ll ever be is me

[Verse 4]
I’m done tryin’ to fit in some borrowed skin
No more sellin’ out just to claw my way in
Everyone’s taken—I’ve finally seen it
The world don’t need copies, it needs me in it

[Chorus]
Be yourself
Everyone else is already taken
Be yourself
Stop the act—it’s time to wake up

[Bridge]
So let the shadows fade, step into the light
The you that’s you is more than enough, right?
No rehearsals left, no lines to recite
Just breathe out, and let ‘em see the real inside

[Break]

[Final Chorus]
Be yourself!
Everyone else is already taken
Be yourself!
The world’s been waitin’ for you to break through

[End]



Be Yourself

"Interpersonal" is a haunting, introspective ballad that delves into the suffocating cycle of self-comparison and the blurred boundaries between identity and perception. Through poetic, mirror-laden imagery, the song explores the way personal struggles become entangled with how we see ourselves in others—always measuring, never quite matching. The lyrics paint a portrait of existential exhaustion, questioning whether breaking free from these reflections would bring clarity or simply leave emptiness behind. The repetition of "And that’s all there is to it" underscores a weary resignation, while the bridge’s shattered mirror offers a fleeting glimpse of liberation. A melancholic meditation on selfhood, connection, and the ghosts we can’t stop staring at.

[Verse 1]
All problems are interpersonal
No exception
They spiral back to the same reflection
And if you don’t see it yet
Look until the glass forgets

[Verse 2]
And you’ll see
It’s the ghost in the mirror
Dressed in someone else’s name
And you’ll see
It’s the ghost in the mirror
Whispering, “Measure again”

[Chorus]
And that’s all there is to it
And that’s all there is to it
But what if I let go of it?
Is there more than this to it?

[Break]

[Verse 3]
We’re mirrors screaming reflections in the night
Projecting ghosts instead of light
I see myself when I look at you
But the lines are blurred and the pain breaks through

[Bridge]
What if the mirror shattered?
Would the silver crack?
Or would I finally see myself
Without you in my back?

[Chorus]
And that’s all there is to it
And that’s all there is to it
But what’s left when it’s split?
Is that all there is to it?

[Outro]
And that’s all there is
Just the ghost in the mirror

[End]


Interpersonal

A haunting indie folk reverie, this ambient ballad lingers in the quiet spaces between doubt and devotion. Ethereal synths and delicate guitar work cradle poetic musings on love’s elusive nature—questioning the stars, the sun, and the silence for answers only time can reveal. A celestial meditation on longing, where every whispered lyric trembles like a pulse in the dark.

[Verse 1]
Only time will tell if love is true
The stars are liars in the blue
We only see them when they gleam
But the dark won’t say what they mean

[Verse 2]
Only time will tell if love survives
The sun just borrows from the skies
We only feel it when it burns
But the dawn won’t swear it returns

[Chorus]
But only time will tell
Only time will tell...
Footsteps fade in silhouettes
Only time will tell—
Will this love mean more yet?

[Verse 3]
Only time will tell if love persists
The heart’s a shadow on my wrist
We only know it when it aches
But the pulse won’t say what it breaks

[Verse 4]
Only time will tell if love deceives
Words are whispers in the eaves
We only hear them when they’re spoken
But the silence stays unbroken

[Bridge]
"Time won’t bargain, time won’t plead—
It just watches as we bleed"

[Final Chorus]
But only time will tell
Only time will tell...
Footsteps fade in silhouettes
Only time will tell—
Will this love mean more yet?

[Break]

[Outro]
"Will love still answer...
When we call?"

[End]


Only Time Will Tell

This indie folk anthem blends raw, emotional storytelling with dynamic instrumentation—tight drums, gritty guitar riffs, and a pulsing bassline that drives the song forward. The female vocals soar with conviction, delivering lyrics that speak of resilience, self-discovery, and defiance against life’s currents. The imagery of war, storms, and archery weaves a narrative of struggle and empowerment, culminating in a bridge that declares ownership of one’s path. The song builds from introspective verses to a cathartic, anthemic finale, leaving the listener with a sense of hard-won clarity.

[Verse 1]
A sign of the times, but I missed all the marks
Blind in the dark, no compass, no spark
On the front of the front lines
A war with my own heart—
Now the sea’s parted, I see the target

[Chorus]
I know what I need, I’m coming with force
An arrow, a seed, I’m torn from the storm
Swimming upstream, the current is brutal
But I know the right way home

[Verse 2]
We wrote our demands in the ash and the rain
Fought the same fights, carried the same chains
Now the road’s uncharted, but we grip the wheel
Feels like the wounds are finally healing

[Chorus]
We know what we need, we’re coming with force
Arrows, not seeds—we’re more than reborn
Swimming upstream, the current is brutal
But we know the right way home

[Break]

[Bridge]
They told us, “Aim for the sun, but learn to fly first”
So we moved the right wing, now the sky’s gonna burst
A slow-burn fury, but the purpose is clear—
We’re not just shooting; we’re the archers here

[Break]

[Outro]
We know the right way... home
We know the right way...

[End]


Archers

This haunting Zen-folk ballad weaves a meditative parable through sparse, atmospheric instrumentation—whispered female vocals, delicate shamisen plucks, icy piano tones, and the breathy resonance of a shakuhachi flute. The lyrics depict a profound encounter between a Zen master and a Tokyo professor, where the simple act of pouring tea becomes a lesson in humility and unlearning. As the master overfills the professor’s cup, spilling tea like wasted knowledge, he imparts a timeless truth: true wisdom begins with emptiness. The chorus lingers like a koan, urging the listener to shed certainty and let the universe whisper through an open mind. A mesmerizing blend of poetic imagery and minimalist sound, this piece lingers like steam fading into air.

[Verse 1]
The master lifts the iron kettle
Steam writes ghosts in the air
Pours for the Tokyo professor
Who came to find him there

[Verse 2]
The cup is full—he pours still
Gold tea on the pine
The professor grips his notebook
"Master...this is a sign?"

[Chorus 1]
"Like this cup
You're too full to receive
How can the moon reflect the lake
When the water won't believe?"

[Break]

[Verse 3]
The old man tilts the pot again
A slow and silent flood
The professor's fists are trembling
"But I...came here to learn"

[Chorus 2]
"Like this cup
Your theories drown the truth
What good's a dusty window
If it won't let in the blue?"

[Bridge]
The tea spills like confession
Cold across the floor
"To know
You must un-know first"
Then he pours
...once more

[Final Chorus]
"So empty your cup
Let the old stars fade
The universe won't whisper
To a mind that's made"

[Outro]
Mm-mm, mm-mm, empty your cup
Mm-mm, mm-mm, empty your cup

[End]

Empty Your Cup

A sultry, jazz-infused ballad with Latin rhythms and haunting instrumentation, "Dust You Left Behind" weaves a tapestry of longing and surrender. The lyrics meditate on the futility of chasing love and material fulfillment, instead embracing the wisdom of letting go. The singer’s voice lingers like smoke over melancholic guitar lines and lush piano chords, creating a mood that’s both intimate and expansive—like a confession whispered in an empty cathedral.

[Verse 1]
The ache of wanting, the weight of gold
Pockets full but the hands grow cold
Reaching for the river’s bend
But the water won’t be pinned

[Pre-Chorus]
Let go, let go, child, lie down
You’re a seed in the cold ground
No need to climb, no need to rise
The moon don’t beg the lonely sky

[Chorus]
Oh, the years roll, slow and sly
Stealing the light from your hungry eyes
What if the love you’re chasing blind
Is the dust you left behind?

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Scraped your knees on the altar stairs
Polished your prayers like silverware
But the wild grass won’t be tamed
And the wind don’t need a name

[Bridge]
Love ain’t a wishbone, love ain’t a debt
It’s the crack in the door you forgot to set
Kneel in the dirt, let the rain come in
Love’s not a prize—it’s the letting in

[Outro]
So let go, let go, like an ash
The dark ain’t nothing but the cradle of dark
And the earth will turn, and the tide will rise
You’re the hollow and the hymn inside

[End]


Dust You Left Behind

When I first read The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, I always assumed Huineng’s verse was superior. Later, Master revealed to me: The opposite of "wrong" isn’t "right"—only when duality dissolves into the "unity of opposites" (一合相), beyond all conceptual division, is truth revealed.

The song Two Verses, One Moon draws inspiration from Zen history’s most poetic debate:
Shenxiu’s verse:
"The body is the Bodhi tree,
The mind a mirror bright.
Polish it diligently,
Lest dust alight."

Huineng’s reply:
"No Bodhi tree exists,
Nor stand of mirror clear.
Since all is void from the start,
Where could dust appear?"

In the song:
Verse 1 embodies Shenxiu’s disciplined cultivation,
Verse 2 channels Huineng’s sudden enlightenment,
The chorus merges both into the unity of opposites.
The outro, with Nine-Words Zen mantras and the Heart Sutra chant, dissolves all conflict into a sea of sound.
  

[Verse 1]
The Bodhi tree stands in my gaze
Silent leaves, roots beyond space
A mirror waits within my mind
I brush the dust of worldly grind

[Pre-Chorus]
Each breath a bell, each step the Way
Slow is the dance, yet none astray

[Chorus]
Dust will dance, then fade from sight
Through cracks of glass – the moon’s first light
Whether mind is still or spun
The path and absence both are one

[Verse 2]
No branch to bend, no glass to hold
No wiper’s hand, no dust to scold
The mind is free, no place to cling
Just echoes of the vastest ring

[Bridge]
Two truths held in whispered flame
One speaks effort, one un-named
The polisher’s rag now fills with sky
The echo laughs – “Why try?”

[Outro]
Na Mo Ben Shi Da Zi Zai Wang Fo
Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi svāhā
Na Mo Ben Shi Da Zi Zai Wang Fo
Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi svāhā
Na Mo Ben Shi Da Zi Zai Wang Fo
Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi svāhā

Two Verses, One Moon

A bubbly, empowering anthem for anyone who’s ever felt the pressure to please everyone, "Just Be Your Cheese" blends cheeky metaphors with an infectious beat. With youthful guitar strums, punchy drums, and a K-pop-inspired sparkle, this track serves up a delicious reminder: you can’t cater to every taste—so embrace what makes you uniquely you!

[Verse 1]
Runnin’ in circles, tryin’ to win the race
Every smile you flash is just takin’ its place
But hearts are critics, they’ll never agree—
You’re doin’ your best, but you can’t be brie!

[Pre-Chorus] 
Some like it sharp, some like it sweet
You’re a flavor they can’t all eat!

[Chorus]
You can’t make everyone happy, no, not for free
You’re not a cheese platter—just let ’em be!
Spread your love, stay bold, stay you
Some’ll take a bite, but some’ll chew and spew!

[Verse 2]
Some want you stinky, some want you bland
Some’ll hold you close, some’ll drop your hand
But Gouda or Swiss, you can’t be both
So ripen with pride—let ’em savor your growth!

[Bridge] 
Aged to perfection, no need to hide
The right ones stay for the taste you provide!

[Chorus]
You can’t make everyone happy, that’s life’s decree
You’re not a buffet—just be your own cheese!
Spread your love, let your soul shine through
Some’ll raise a glass, but not the whole crew!

[Break]

[Chorus]
You can’t make everyone happy, no, not for free
You’re not a cheese platter—just let ’em be!
Spread your love, stay bold, stay you
Some’ll take a bite, but some’ll chew and spew!

[End]

Just Be Your Cheese

"Follow the Call" is a mesmerizing fusion of Japanese jazz-inflected melodies, lush electronic production, and sultry female vocals, anchored by a soaring synthesizer lead interlude. The lyrics evoke a journey of surrender—trusting intuition, embracing synchronicity, and finding freedom in the flow of life. With its dreamy verses, hypnotic chorus, and soulful instrumental break, the track balances introspection with euphoric release, embodying the Zen-like wisdom of letting go. The outro’s nod to "Buddha-nature" seals the song as both a meditative mantra and an electrifying ode to self-discovery.

[Verse 1]
No more racing, no more chase
Fear won’t set my heart’s own pace
I hear a whisper, soft and true
My inner self is breaking through

[Pre-Chorus]
Visions in my dreams, they guide my way
Synchronicities light the path I take
Intuition calls, a gentle spark
Leading me through the quiet dark

[Chorus]
I’m dancing with the flow of life
Not fighting for control, no strife
What’s calling me, I’ll follow near
Not what I plan, but what appears
I’m free to fly, I’m free to fall
I’ll follow, surrender all

[Break]

[Verse 2]
No checklist binds my heart today
Curiosity will light my way
I choose the peace within my soul
Not the stage, not the world’s applause

[Chorus]
I’m dancing with the flow of life
Not fighting for control, no strife
What’s calling me, I’ll follow near
Not what I plan, but what appears
I’m free to fly, I’m free to fall
I’ll follow, surrender all

[Verse 2]
No checklist binds my heart today
Curiosity will light my way
I choose the peace within my soul
Not the stage, not the world’s applause

[Chorus]
I’m dancing with the flow of life
Not fighting for control, no strife
What’s calling me, I’ll follow near
Not what I plan, but what appears
I’m free to fly, I’m free to fall
I’ll follow, surrender all

[Break]

[Outro]
With every breath, I touch the light
The Buddha-nature shines inside
No more seeking—I am home
The call was always in my soul

[End]


Follow the Call

This enchanting, introspective ballad weaves together poetic lyricism and lush instrumentation to evoke a sense of effortless freedom and emotional surrender. Delicate fingerpicked guitar and hand percussion create a warm, swaying foundation, while muted violin swells add a dreamlike, cinematic quality. The female vocal floats effortlessly, delivering tender reflections on love as a liberating force—not bound by rules, but flowing like a dance in "perfect rhyme." The chorus soars with a mantra-like simplicity, embracing love’s ambiguity ("just shades of gray") as the ultimate truth. The bridge and outro dissolve into a meditative release, as if the song itself is a whispered invitation to let go and move with life’s rhythm. Ethereal yet grounded, it’s a hymn to unscripted connection, leaving the listener suspended in its gentle, fading harmony.

[Verse 1]
No chains of longing, no endless fight
Freedom hums where the heart takes flight
No demands, no hollow chase
Just the rhythm of love’s sweet grace

[Pre-Chorus]
Let passion burn, but let it flow
A choice, a path—where hearts can grow
Not bound by fear, not lost in time
Just a soul in perfect rhyme

[Chorus]
Love is the answer, love is the way
No right, no wrong—just shades of gray
Feel the moment, set it free
Dance in love’s harmony

[Verse 2]
The world’s a stage, we’re wild and free
More than shadows, more than dreams
No script to follow, no lines to recite
Just the dance we paint in light

[Bridge] 
Breathe it in, just let it be
Your heart’s the song, your soul runs free
Don’t ask for more, don’t fear the night
Just love, just live—let the dance write the story

[Outro] 
Love is the answer, love is the way
No walls, no wars—just shades of gray
Let it rise, let it stay
Dance in harmony… and fade away

[End]

Love Is The Way

A meditative reverie of cello drones, pan drum and ethereal vocals, this ambient folk sound bath cradles the listener in stillness. Lyrical whispers dissolve like mist—inviting surrender to the breath, the moment, the quiet truth that ‘rest already follows.’ Between acoustic resonance and silence, the song becomes a vessel for timelessness, where the afterlife is not beyond, but here, unfolding in every exhale.

[Verse 1]
You need no miracle
Only this breath, here
No price, no trial
Rest already follows

[Verse 2]
What seems stuck in waiting
Is just a thought passing
No ship, no shore
Rest already follows

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the glass dissolve
Like rain into river
What reflects was never there

[Chorus]
The clock is singing
Your heartbeat timeless
No need to hold or owe
The afterlife is now
Rest already follows

[Break]

[Verse 3]
Peak efficiency?
Just this inhale...
And this exhale...
Rest already unfolds

[Bridge]
No scratch on the record
Only the silence between notes
No track to spin out from
Rest already whole

[Final Chorus]
The clock is sleeping
In your palm, a cosmos
No mirage to release
The afterlife is now
Rest already home

[Outro] 
"What you seek
has never not followed"
Na Mo Ben Shi Da Zi Zai Wang Fo

[End]

Great Compassion Mantra⚡ Ancient Chants, Modern Soul

We employ an innovative musical language to reinterpret a timeless jewel of wisdom—the Great Compassion Mantra.

At the opening, a soothing female voice intones the Sanskrit chant, flowing gently like a clear spring. Gradually, rhythmic modern arrangements are woven in, creating a soundscape that is at once sacred and majestic, yet deeply resonant with the contemporary spirit.

The Great Compassion Mantra, formally titled Nīlakaṇṭha Dhāraṇī of the Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Eyed Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva’s Boundless Great Compassion, is one of the most widely recited and revered mantras in Buddhism. It is said to have been proclaimed by Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva for the benefit of all beings, embodying the infinite vow of great compassion.

Rendered in transliterated Sanskrit, the mantra emphasizes the vibrational power of sound itself. Reciting or listening to the Great Compassion Mantra is believed to purify the heart, still wandering thoughts, and bring forth inner peace and harmony—while invoking the compassionate protection of the Bodhisattva.

Great Compassion Mantra

"Sum of Our Choices" is a soul-stirring ballad that blends soft rock and R&B into a lush, introspective soundscape. Soothing harmonies and a haunting electric guitar line underscore the song’s emotional depth, evoking vulnerability and raw intimacy. The lyrics explore the weight of decisions, the acceptance of past mistakes, and the quiet resolve to move forward without regret. With its tender yet resolute tone, the song lingers like a late-night confession—both a comfort and a challenge to embrace life’s unchangeable path. The repeated refrain, "Not yet," leaves a bittersweet ache, suggesting that while closure may come, it’s not time to surrender to remorse. Perfect for moments of quiet reflection, this track is a poignant reminder that our lives are shaped by the choices we own.

[Verse 1]
Your journey’s cracks still catch the light
Every wrong turn was yours to write
Let it unfold, don’t fight the tide—
Life’s not the map; it’s the miles inside

[Verse 2]
If you think the grass is greener in my shoes
Let me tell you what you’d lose—
Every scar I’ve earned, every cross I bear
You wouldn’t trade, so don’t go there

[Chorus]
Our lives are the sum of our choices
No rewinds, just voices
I won’t look back with regret
You shouldn’t either—
Not yet

[Break]

[Verse 3]
If your heart’s already packed and gone
If my name’s a shadow on your tongue
Don’t let me love you in the dark—
Just strike the match, leave a spark

[Bridge] 
Maybe in another life
We’d rewrite every line
But here and now, we choose—
Win or lose

[Final Chorus] 
Our lives are the sum of our choices
No rewinds, just voices
I won’t look back with regret
You shouldn’t either—
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet

[End]



Sum of Our Choices

"Searching For You" is a tender Indie Pop ballad that blends reflective yearning with hopeful determination. Featuring an innocent yet emotive female vocal, the song carries a softly melancholic mood, underscored by gentle electric guitar arpeggios and a dreamy, intimate atmosphere.

The lyrics paint a picture of loneliness and longing—wandering through crowded streets, searching faces for a lost love, clinging to whispers and traces of connection. The chorus swells with vulnerable optimism, comparing the quest for love to a childlike hope, unwavering in its belief that the love is real.

[Verse] 
Walked through the crowded streets tonight 
Lurking shadows caught in the light 
Every face a mystery in disguise 
Searching for you beneath the skies

[Verse 2] 
Eyes meet mine but it’s not the same 
Heart’s still yearning calling out your name 
Every corner every whisper’s trace 
Hoping I'll soon see your face

[Chorus] 
Looking for love in a world so wild 
Seeking that spark like a hopeful child 
Every beat every step I take 
Knowing that this love is not fake

[Break]

[Verse 3] 
Found a letter written in the sand 
Words of longing inked by hand 
Swept away by time's gentle rain 
Hoping you'll appear to ease the pain

[Bridge] 
Stars above hear my heartfelt plea 
Guide me through this endless sea 
I won't stop till our paths align 
Dreaming of the moment you'll be mine

[Chorus] 
Looking for love in a world so wild 
Seeking that spark like a hopeful child 
Every beat every step I take 
Knowing that this love is not fake

[Break]

[Outro] 
Looking for love in a world so wild 
Seeking that spark like a hopeful child 
Every beat every step I take 
Knowing that this love is not fake
Not fake
Not fake
It's not fake
It's not fake

[End]



Searching For You

Today is a gift, that is why we call it present.
