Woke up a stranger in my skin
Chasing shadows I let in
Every mirror bends the frame
And I can't remember if I'm still the same

Hold me close, then let me fall
I'm not sure I'm here at all

I'm all glass edges, breaking light
Sharp as morning, soft as night
Pull you closer, push away
Love me, leave me, beg you to stay
I'm all glass edges, I can't choose
Every win feels like a bruise

A thousand colors in a breath
I taste forever, then regret
Every heartbeat splits in two
And every truth feels like it isn't true

Touch my hand, it disappears
Whisper loud inside my ears

I'm all glass edges, breaking light
Sharp as morning, soft as night
Pull you closer, push away
Love me, leave me, beg you to stay
I'm all glass edges, I can't choose
Every win feels like a bruise

I'm a fire in the flood
A rose that blooms in blood
And I don't know who I'll be
When you turn the key

I'm all glass edges, breaking light
Sharp as morning, soft as night
Pull you closer, push away
Love me, leave me, beg you to stay

Thin man watches
Stretching through the trees
Eyes like hollow wells
No breath no breeze
He waits he waits
No footsteps no sound

Hat pulled low shadow grows
Whispered tales where no one knows

Shadows in the fog
They’re creeping, creeping near
Slender walks beside you
The Hat Man feeds your fear
Run, run but they follow
They’re always, always here

Black coat flowing
A void inside his stare
Pale hands reaching
Dragging you somewhere
You scream, you scream
But no one is there

Hat pulled low shadow grows
Whispered tales where no one knows

Shadows in the fog
They’re creeping, creeping near
Slender walks beside you
The Hat Man feeds your fear
Run, run but they follow
They’re always always here

Text:
Verse 1:
Kicked the dust off my busted wheels,
Got a full tank and a head that feels —
Like fire in a broken frame,
I’m born for noise, not for fame.

Pre-Chorus:
They told me slow down, find a plan,
But you can’t cage a rock’n’roll man!

Chorus:
I ride the line — between sin and soul,
Burnin’ gas, takin’ control.
Don’t need no crown, don’t need no sign,
I’m free tonight — I ride the line!

(solo)

Verse 2:
Devil’s laughin’ on the radio,
Angels watchin’ but they don’t know.
Every red light’s just a dare,
If you ain’t scared — you’re halfway there!

Pre-Chorus:
Can’t stop the thunder in my veins,
I live for sparks and highway flames.

Chorus:
I ride the line — between sin and soul,
Burnin’ gas, takin’ control.
Don’t need no crown, don’t need no sign,
I’m free tonight — I ride the line!

Bridge:
Yeah, life’s a road with no rear view,
No one’s drivin’ it but you!
Hit that gear, and don’t look back —
Just ride that storm till the sky goes black!

(Guitar-Solo)

Final Chorus:
I ride the line — between sin and soul,
Burnin’ gas, takin’ control.
Don’t need no crown, don’t need no sign,
I’m free tonight — yeah, I ride the line!

Outro:
(Guitar solo outro, big drum hits fade into feedback)

Ride the Line

Verse
Why do I bother trying to convince you
You're such a goddamn cynic
That's not what you say when you're drunk and call me crying
You and I are both to blame
I'm not the only one you play
You're just a liar
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

Chorus
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you

Verse 2
I don't know why I try to convince you
I guess I can't help it
I mean
Have you seen you?
I can't blame the others for what I feel
You and I are both to blame
I'm not the only one you play
You're just a liar
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

Chorus
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you

Outro
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound

Greyhound

Text:
[Spoken Intro – “Jim’s Awakening”]
Where am I?
The air smells like plastic, the lights don’t flicker — they hum.
Everyone’s eyes are glowing blue…
Did I die — or did the world?

I reach for a match,
but fire’s gone.
There’s only screens now…
and no one burns anymore.

(Soft electric guitar fades in…)

Verse 1:
I woke up in a world of glass and glow,
everyone’s face lit by a screen below.
No one talks, they just scroll and stare,
and I’m standing here — breathing air.

Chorus:
People are stranger now,
colder somehow.
Eyes wide shut in the digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

(solo)

Verse 2:
I walked past ghosts in mirrored halls,
reflections whisper from shopping malls.
I said, “Hey, I’m Jim…” but they laughed it away,
“Who’s Jim?” — “Just another yesterday.”

Spoken Bridge:
They used to sing my songs in firelight,
now their music comes from clouds.
No guitars, no pain, no soul,
just code and ads — too loud.

I met a boy with wires in his head,
he said, “Man, I don’t dream — I download instead.”

(solo)

Chorus (reprise):
People are stranger now,
don’t even know how.
Hearts on mute in a digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

Outro:
Maybe I’m the ghost that stayed too long,
in a world that forgot the song.

Stranger now... stranger now...
(echo fades into analog hiss…)

People Are Stranger Now

When the twin moons of Epsilon Ridge burn red, the law rides in black.

Marshal Kane Vale of the Black Comet, a sort of intergalactic marshals, was once a name whispered with respect across the outer systems. An enforcer of justice where no law survived. But when a forged bounty leads him to destroy an innocent town, the hunter becomes the hunted.

Now, wounded and haunted by the ghost of his deputy, Kane waits in the ashes of Latchkey for his own kind to bring judgment. In the void, there’s no mercy—only the creed he once swore to uphold:

“When the stars forget, we remember.”

A space-western tragedy of guilt, fire, and redemption.
Ashfall on Epsilon Ridge is the final ride of a lawman who learns that even justice casts a shadow.


Lyrics

Smoke rolled in like a dying tide,
Screams got swallowed by the flame inside.
Medicine crates, a child’s cry—
They weren’t slavers, just trying to survive.

Pulled my gun, thought I knew the sin,
Didn’t see what was burning within.
By the time I did, it was far too late—
Justice don’t bend, it breaks in hate.

Fire on Latchkey, the town went down,
The stars looked on, didn’t make a sound.
One by one the souls took flight,
Fire on Latchkey, no wrong, no right.

Lira’s hand in mine, covered in soot,
She whispered, “You did what you thought you should.”
Then the roof came down and the sky went red—
I keep hearing her voice in the words she said.

Fire on Latchkey, heaven turned cold,
The badge is heavy, the story’s old.
Lawmen burn just like the damned,
Fire on Latchkey, and blood on my hands.

Fire on Latchkey

A Suno cover of my "The Loveliest Songs" song. The vocals were improvised in one pass and don't necessarily make sense. But I like it musically.
