Party in the sun, yeah, we runnin’ it up!
Bodies on the sand, sippin’ from the cup
Drop it low, make it hot, feel the rhythm pump
Ayy, girl, come run it with me—don’t stop!
Party in the sun, waves crashin’ wild
Hands in the air, we dancin’ all night
Big energy, no slowin’ down
Yeah, we own this vibe—turn the whole world ’round!
[Verse 1]
Girl, I see you glowin’ under that golden light
Bikini poppin’, hips swayin’ just right
We dodgin’ the tide, but the fire’s inside
One touch, and we ignite—ain’t no denyin’
From the boardwalk beats to the bonfire glow
You whisper in my ear, “Boy, let’s steal the show”
No drama, just us, chasin’ that summer rush
Feet in the foam, hearts beatin’ like drums—crush!
[Pre-Chorus]
Heat on a hundred, sweat drippin’ slow
You ready to ride this wave? Let the good times roll…
[Chorus]
Party in the sun, yeah, we runnin’ it up!
Bodies on the sand, sippin’ from the cup
Drop it low, make it hot, feel the rhythm pump
Ayy, girl, come run it with me—don’t stop!
Party in the sun, waves crashin’ wild
Hands in the air, we dancin’ all night
Big energy, no slowin’ down
Yeah, we own this vibe—turn the whole world ’round!
[Verse 2]
Moon risin’ high, but the party’s just begun
Your laugh like thunder, pullin’ me like the sun
We grindin’ to the groove, no space in between
Lost in the motion, livin’ the dream
Palms swayin’, salt on your lips so sweet
One kiss turns the tide, sweep you off your feet
Ain’t no end to this night, we eternal flame
Under stars and strobe, screamin’ your name!
[Pre-Chorus]
Pulse racin’ faster, can’t fight the pull
Break it down now—let’s lose control…
[Chorus]
Party in the sun, yeah, we runnin’ it up!
Bodies on the sand, sippin’ from the cup
Drop it low, make it hot, feel the rhythm pump
Ayy, girl, come run it with me—don’t stop!
Party in the sun, waves crashin’ wild
Hands in the air, we dancin’ all night
Big energy, no slowin’ down
Yeah, we own this vibe—turn the whole world ’round!
[Rap Feature: 
Yo, Relate in the buildin’, sun blazin’ like my chain
Beach mob deep, we turn sand to a stage, no pain
Sunglasses on, but I see through the fake
Girls twerkin’ tsunami, waves can’t compete with that shake
Runnin’ the coast like a lowrider cruise
Cups overflowin’, we sippin’ that juice
From Cali to Miami, this party’s the blueprint
Big beat slappin’, feel it in your blueprint—ha!
Adrenaline rush, no brakes on this ride
Sunset silhouette, we own the whole tide
Shout to the crew, bottles pop like confetti
Party in the sun? Nah, we the confetti—eternal!
(Ad-libs: Yeah! Run it! Relate it up!)
[Bridge/Outro]
One more time, feel the fire…
Party! In the sun!
Yeah, we runnin’ it… party in the sun…

Party in the Sun

[Verse]
I call your name but the air just swallows it all
My voice gets lost in the endless hollows
Your eyes glaze over like I’m not here
How’d we end up in this atmosphere

[Prechorus]
I reach you
You vanish
I speak
You don’t hear
I’m standing in your shadow
But you’re nowhere near

[Chorus]
Empty echoes
Empty space
I’m chasing love you won’t replace
Talking to walls
No reply
You’re the sun
I’m the sky

Empty echoes… (echo: echoes…)
I’m breakin’, I’m fallin’, but I won’t let it go!

[Verse 2]
Your hand in mine feels colder than stone
Your heart’s a house
But it’s not my home
I’m screaming loud inside my head
I’m alive but this love feels dead

[Chorus]
Empty echoes
Empty space
I’m chasing love you won’t replace
Talking to walls
No reply
You’re the sun
I’m the sky

Empty echoes… (echo: echoes…)
I’m breakin’, I’m fallin’, but I won’t let it go!

[Bridge]
I build a bridge
You burn it down
I wear the crown of a love that drowns
I’m tired of running in this race
It’s a one-way street
No embrace

Empty echoes
Empty space
I’m chasing love you won’t replace
Talking to walls
No reply
You’re the sun
I’m the sky

Empty echoes… (echo: echoes…)
I’m breakin’, I’m fallin’, but I won’t let it go!

Empty Echoes

I wrote this track about the pain of digital breakup. It’s late-night scrolling on your phone, watching old stories of your ex that make you hurt. 😞 

[Verse 1]
Thumb on the screen, midnight feed bleeds, your stories loop like a curse I need
Frozen frames of your laugh, replayed, shadows of what we never conveyed
Notifications haunt like a siren’s call, pulling me back to the endless fall
One more peek, then I’ll break the thrall—but the scroll won’t stall
[Pre-Chorus]
Mind’s a mirror, cracking clear, whispers turn to the fear
Can’t log off, heart’s adrift—obsessed with the rift
[Chorus]
Obsidian loop, spiraling through the nights we lose
Echoes of you in the blue light bruise, no excuse
Falsetto trapped in the unread queue, where the silence screws
Chasing ghosts in the view—obsidian loop, me and you
Ooh-ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Stories expire but the ache renews, your silhouette in the stories I choose
DM drafts like a noose I compose, words unspoken, overdose
Pixel prison, bars of your glow, every refresh a deeper low
Haunted by the what-ifs we sow—can’t let go, don’t you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Fingers trace the fracture line, time’s a thief in disguise
Your absence amplifies, hypnotize—lost in the lies
[Chorus]
Obsidian loop, spiraling through the nights we lose
Echoes of you in the blue light bruise, no excuse
Falsetto trapped in the unread queue, where the silence screws
Chasing ghosts in the view—obsidian loop, me and you
Ooh-ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, if the app could delete the scar
I’d swipe left on this broken star…
But the pull reboots, absolute—loop me in, compute!
[Rap Outro]
Yo, feeds flood like a venom vein, chain reaction in the brain
Stalking shadows through the dopamine rain, pain after pain, insane
Heart’s a cache full of cached regret, connect and disconnect, sweat
Phantom likes in the dead of night—obsidian fight, ignite the spite
Falsetto fades in the static storm, more and more till the norm deforms
Ooh-ooh, yeah—break the scroll, but the hole won’t close

Obsidian loop

[Verse 1 ]
Dawn fractures the blinds, gold in the wound
First clean breath in years—haven’t exhaled since June
I sweep up the shards, bag the midnight regrets
Turn the mirror to the sun—see what the light forgets
Coffee on the stove, steam writing my name
No powder in the creases, no ghosts in the flame
One step on the fire escape—city still asleep
Hope’s a thief in the daylight, but this time it don’t creep
[Pre-Chorus ]
Cracks in the dark…
Let the light spark…
One small mark…
One new start…

[Chorus ]
Dawn fracture, split the night in two
Light bleeds through the break—something old, something new
I was buried in the blue, now I’m rising with the dew
Dawn fracture—hope’s coming through
From the vial to the view, every scar got a shine
Paradise lost, but the sunrise is mine
Dawn fracture, let the morning ignite
First day of the fight—feels like winning tonight

[Verse 2]
Text from a friend: “You good?”—I type back “Yeah”
First truth in a minute, no relapse on the way
Run three blocks to the river, shoes still untied
Watch the water catch fire—feel the burn in my stride
The edge sent a letter, return to sender
I tear it in the wind—let the pieces surrender
Dawn paints the skyline, colors I forgot
Hope’s a small-time crook, but it stole the right spot
[Pre-Chorus ]
Cracks in the dark…
Let the light spark…
One small mark…
One new start…

[Chorus ]
Dawn fracture, split the night in two
Light bleeds through the break—something old, something new
I was buried in the blue, now I’m rising with the dew
Dawn fracture—hope’s coming through
From the vial to the view, every scar got a shine
Paradise lost, but the sunrise is mine
Dawn fracture, let the morning ignite
First day of the fight—feels like winning tonight
[Bridge ]
Ayo—sun on my face like a baptism splash
I’m the prodigal photon, sprintin’ from the ash
Cracks in the concrete growin’ dandelions
Every fracture a runway—watch the damaged flyin’
I was nocturnal, now I’m solar-powered
Battery at 1%, still bloom by the hour
Text back “I’m good”—no cap, no filter
Hope hit the group chat, turned the pain to a kilter
Run to the river, shoes untied, soul aligned
Water catch the fire—mirror of the mind
Edge tried to DM, I left it on read
Dawn sent a voice note: “You alive, not dead”
One bar for the broken, one bar for the brave
Sunrise on the wave—watch me misbehave

Dawn fracture

[Verse 1]
Mirror on the wall, seven years of bad luck
I count the fractures—one for every “I fucked up”
Eyes like storm drains, cheeks like ash
Smile’s a rental—pay-per-flash
I talk to the glass, it talks right back
“You’re the king of the crash, now live with the lack”
Lipstick on the rim, but the rim’s on the floor
Fractured mirror—can’t see me anymore

[Pre-Chorus ]
Who’s the ghost in the frame?
Who’s the one to blame?
Every shard’s a name…
Every shard’s the same…

[Chorus ]
Fractured mirror, show me the truth
Pieces of a life I wasted in my youth
I drag the ones I love through the glass on the ground
Fractured mirror—don’t make a sound
If I sweep it away, will the curse disappear?
Or just cut deeper when the dawn draws near?
Fractured mirror, hold me tonight
Till the cracks let the morning light

[Verse 2 ]
Polaroid in the sink, water curling the edge
Your face in the corner—smiling from the ledge
I trace the outline with a trembling thumb
Wonder if the damage can ever be undone
The room smells like regret and cheap cologne
I mouth “I’m sorry” to a dial tone
Fractured mirror—my only confessor
Every reflection’s a lesser oppressor

[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s the ghost in the frame?
Who’s the one to blame?
Every shard’s a name…
Every shard’s the same…

[Chorus ]
Fractured mirror, show me the truth
Pieces of a life I wasted in my youth
I drag the ones I love through the glass on the ground
Fractured mirror—don’t make a sound
If I sweep it away, will the curse disappear?
Or just cut deeper when the dawn draws near?
Fractured mirror, hold me tonight
Till the cracks let the morning light

[Bridge ]
Yeah—mirror got a mouth, spit shards when it speak
I bleed on the sink, watch the red try to leak
Mom’s voicemail ghostin’, “baby come home”
I reply with a razor—best poem I’ve known
Each cut’s a stanza, each scar’s a refrain
I’m the author of the ache, ink in my vein
Polaroid burnin’, edges curl like my curls
You smile in the flame—last girl in the world

I sweep up the pieces, bag ’em like evidence
Tape ’em to the ceiling—constellation of consequence
One shard catch the sunrise, throw it on my face
For a second I’m whole—then it falls out of place

Fractured mirror

[Verse 1]
Crown of static on my skull, throne made of doubt
Every mirror shows a king with his eyes scratched out
I rule the dark from a mattress on the floor
Scepter’s a syringe—power I can’t ignore
Voices in the vents, whispering the score
“You built the empire, now settle with the war”
Neon turned to rust, glow turned to grime
Shadow sovereign—crowned in borrowed time

[Pre-Chorus]
Fear’s the only law I know
Paranoia on the throne
One wrong move, the kingdom falls
Echoes answer when I call

[Chorus]
Shadow sovereign, fear wears the crown
City kneels, but the city’s burning down
One hit of the dark keeps the light from the door
Shadow sovereign—can’t rule anymore
Throne of thorns in the rearview glow
What if the speed was the cure I let go?
Shadow sovereign, screaming alone
Fear’s my kingdom, fear’s my home

[Verse 2]
Guards at the gate are the ghosts I fed
Every pill a soldier, every vein a thread
I issue decrees in the shake of my hand
“Stay in the shadows—obey my command”
Sirens circle closer, red-blue on the wall
I laugh from the balcony—let the empire fall
The crown weighs heavier than the crash ever did
Shadow sovereign—king of what I hid

[Pre-Chorus]
Fear’s the only law I know
Paranoia on the throne
One wrong move, the kingdom falls
Echoes answer when I call

[Chorus]
Shadow sovereign, fear wears the crown
City kneels, but the city’s burning down
One hit of the dark keeps the light from the door
Shadow sovereign—can’t rule anymore
Throne of thorns in the rearview glow
What if the speed was the cure I let go?
Shadow sovereign, screaming alone
Fear’s my kingdom, fear’s my home

[Bridge ]
Ayo—crown forged in the forge of the fright
I’m the monarch of the morgue in the dead of the night
Scepter full of serum, veins like cobblestone
Every subject in my head got a skull of their own
I tax the terror, collect in the tremors
Mirror militia marchin’—all of ’em members
Decree number one: never trust the dawn
Decree number two: keep the shadows on
I’m the tyrant of the tremor, emperor of the ache
Built the castle out of cravings that I never could break
Throne room full of smoke, chandeliers of chain
Every chandelier swingin’—sound of my reign
One bullet in the chamber labeled “hope”
I spin it like roulette—let the kingdom choke

Shadow sovereign

One more night… in the glow…
(Glass shatters faintly, rain patters in)
[Verse 1]
Woke up in the wreckage, dashboard cracked like my grin
Speed’s ghost in the mirror, but your whisper pulls me in
Neon veins on the skyline, bleeding purple into black
I chase the blur from the highway, but it’s you I want back
Fingers trace the scar where the wheel met my chest
One drag from your fire, and I’m dressed in your best
No more engines screaming, just this quiet inferno
Velvet on my skin, but the burn’s what I know
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s the silk that deceives, the ease that undoes
Heart’s a thief in the dark, stealing breaths from the blue
I said I’d walk away clean, but the door’s always cracked
One taste of the nothing, and I’m lost in the act
[Chorus]
Velvet chains, wrapping slow ‘round my throat
You glow like a promise I swore I’d outgrow
Pull me under the lights where the shadows don’t show
One more hit, and I’m yours—addict’s oath in the low
Velvet chains, heavy as heaven’s disguise
Neon high in my blood, but it’s fear in your eyes
Trade the crash for the calm, let the rush turn to lies
Wrapped in your glow, I forget the fall
One more drag, and I’m nothing at all
[Verse 2]
Bottles line the altar, reflections of the king I was
Paradise in rearview, now it’s pills in the buzz
Your rhythm’s in my pulse, trap beats echoing the vein
Melodies like morphine, washing clean all the pain
Friends call from the static, voices thin as the smoke
But your haze is my harbor, where the broken folks choke
I trace the lines on my palm, see the map to the end
But the journey’s too sweet—why fight what you send?
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s the silk that deceives, the ease that undoes
Heart’s a thief in the dark, stealing breaths from the blue
I said I’d walk away clean, but the door’s always cracked
One taste of the nothing, and I’m lost in the act
[Chorus]
Velvet chains, wrapping slow ‘round my throat
You glow like a promise I swore I’d outgrow
Pull me under the lights where the shadows don’t show
One more hit, and I’m yours—addict’s oath in the low
Velvet chains, heavy as heaven’s disguise
Neon high in my blood, but it’s fear in your eyes
Trade the crash for the calm, let the rush turn to lies
Wrapped in your glow, I forget the fall
One more drag, and I’m nothing at all

[Bridge – Rap]
Yo—woke in the wreck, glass in my palm like a crown
Paradise in the ash, but the ash still burnin’ down
One pill, one line, one sip—velvet on the tongue
Turn the scream to a hum, now the devil got a song
I was speed on the dash, now I’m slow in the vein
Trade the wheel for the chain, let the ghost take the blame
Mirror talkin’ reckless: “You the king, never fold”
But the crown made of smoke, and the throne turnin’ cold
Mom’s voice in the static, prayin’ I don’t fade
But the high got a halo, and the low got it made
One step from the edge, but the edge got a bed
Velvet rope round my neck—call it love till I’m dead

Velvet Chains

[Verse 1]
Dashboard saints still bleeding from the crash
I scrape the glow off the glass, mix it with the ash
One bump in the back seat, leather still warm
Phantom in the rearview—same eyes, different storm
I floor it through the memory, speed limit’s a joke
Neon arteries pulsing, city’s in a choke
Your name on the filter, smoke spelling regret
But the high rewinds the tape—best I ever met

[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat in the kick drum, blood in the snare
Every hit’s a flashback, every breath’s a prayer
I swore I’d stay grounded, but the ground’s made of air
Phantom high—catch me if you dare

[Chorus]
I’m chasing the ghost in the vapor trail
White-line fever, but the lines all fail
Phantom high, lift me past the veil
One more rush, then I derail
Neon in my lungs, chrome in my veins
Riding the echo where the paradise remains
Phantom high—never felt so alive
Till the crash comes calling at 95

[Verse 2]
Streetlights blur to halos, angels wearing chains
Every exit sign’s a promise I can’t obtain
Radio spits static, samples of the fall
I turn it up louder—drown the sirencall
Pills like constellations, map across the dash
Plotting new horizons in a 30-second flash
Your laugh in the windscreen, pixelated and thin
I reach for the volume—turn the ghost up again

[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat in the kick drum, blood in the snare
Every hit’s a flashback, every breath’s a prayer
I swore I’d stay grounded, but the ground’s made of air
Phantom high—catch me if you dare

[Chorus]
I’m chasing the ghost in the vapor trail
White-line fever, but the lines all fail
Phantom high, lift me past the veil
One more rush, then I derail
Neon in my lungs, chrome in my veins
Riding the echo where the paradise remains
Phantom high—never felt so alive
Till the crash comes calling at 95
[Bridge ]
Yeah—ghost in the whip, I’m the poltergeist pilot
Dashboard confetti, confessional violet
One tab on the tongue, now the skyline’s a kaleidoscope
Paradise residue, still stuck in my throat
I was 95 in the fast lane, now I’m 95 in the vein
Chrome on the ceiling, rain on the pane
Mom text “come home,” I reply with a flame
Emoji graveyard—every heart turn to chains
Phantom high, but the phantom got hands
Wrap round my neck like a noose made of plans
I see tomorrow in the powder, cut it with hope
But hope’s just a filter on a funeral scope
Guardrail winkin’, say “pull up, let’s dance”
I floor it through the memory—last chance, last glance

Phantom High

[Verse 1 ]
Whispers from the edge crawl under the door
Names I forgot, scores I can’t ignore
They spell out the crash in reverse on the wall
Every letter a needle, every word a freefall
I press my ear to the plaster—hear the city breathe
Sirens singing lullabies I don’t believe
The edge sends postcards: “Wish you were here”
I RSVP with a tremor and a smear

[Pre-Chorus ]
You’re not alone…
You’re on your own…
Let go… let go…

[Chorus ]
Whispers from the edge, pulling the thread
Stitching my shadow to the foot of the bed
One voice says run, one voice says stay
Whispers from the edge—tearing me both ways
Samples of the fall warped into warnings
Paradise screaming through the static of mornings
Whispers from the edge, wearing my face
Till I can’t tell the fall from the chase

[Verse 2 ]
Headphones in the dark, volume past red
Playback of the wreck—every skid, every shred
The edge has a playlist: my greatest fears
Looping on repeat for the last three years
I mouth the lyrics—know them by heart
Every bar a fracture, every beat a fresh start
Whispers promise silence if I jump the line
I lean a little closer—almost make it mine

[Pre-Chorus ]
You’re not alone…
You’re on your own…
Let go… let go…

[Chorus ]
Whispers from the edge, pulling the thread
Stitching my shadow to the foot of the bed
One voice says run, one voice says stay
Whispers from the edge—tearing me both ways
Samples of the fall warped into warnings
Paradise screaming through the static of mornings
Whispers from the edge, wearing my face
Till I can’t tell the fall from the chase
[Bridge ]
Edge got a megaphone, distortion on ten
I’m the glitch in the sermon, amen again
Left channel lies, right channel truths
Center channel mute—pick your noose
I rap in binary, ones for the run
Zeros for the stay—sum is undone
Samples chopped to confetti, Paradise in a blender
Every bar a disclaimer: “sender unknown, surrender”
Whispers got a ZIP file—unpack the dread
.exe of the crash, double-click till I’m dead
I lean off the ledge, wind in the code
Match in my hand—strike it, reload

Whispers from the edge
