"Reflections" Lyrics:

The moon amidst the sea

Reaching out, with introspective lies 
I’d sell my soul to stop time 

The mocking shadows whisper songs of sweet relief and rest
The shame it floods and pulls me under set us free of this

I can’t stay here forever
It’s not fair that we don’t get to
Stay this young, not remember
My life is fleeting right before my eyes

The voice below it’s growing
Slowly grabbing me 
It grips around my soul
And it drags me down

I can’t stay here forever
It’s not fair that we don’t get to
Stay this young, not remember
My life is fleeting right before my eyes

And I’ll never be the same
As this life washes away
Remnants of what I used to be

When I look in the river
An old soul stares back at me
Clinging to life by a thread
Faint of beauty, full of misery
And when I close my eyes
I can see my reflection staring at me
I’m shattered and broken
How much time is left in this world for me?

(My life is fleeting right before eyes)

I can’t stay here forever
It’s not fair that we don’t get to
Stay this young, not remember
My life is fleeting right before my eyes

And I’ll never be the same
As this life washes away
Remnants of what I used to be

And I’ll never be the same
As this life washes away
Remnants of what I used to be

The Devil Wears Prada - Care More

Prisoner

I’m not soft—
I just bruise where you can’t see.
I’ve been loud—
But I’ve learned how to bleed discreetly.

You broke me right, not in half
But in corners where I don’t react
Left a note in my own voice
Said “don’t come back, you made your choice”

You talked in code, I spoke in fists
We kissed like threats, we lived like risks
I set my shame in shadowed glass
Now I drink from it like it’s the past

This is power in disguise
Cracked but sharpened, hollow-wise
You think I’m soft enough to fold?
Watch me harden just to hold—

I’m soft—but hard enough to hurt
Gentle hands with a violent verse
I don’t break, I transform
I’m the bruise you couldn’t warn
You said “get strong or disappear”
So I became your quiet fear
I’m soft—
But hard enough to hurt.

You wore your hate in leather lines
I learned to love the slow decline
You called me fragile like it’s weak
I showed you silence you can’t speak

You vanished, babe, I stayed in fog
I stitched my grief into this song
You scream in ways that don’t need sound
I take the damage underground

This is power in disguise
Cracked but sharpened, hollow-wise
You think I’m soft enough to fold?
Watch me harden just to hold—

I’m soft—but hard enough to hurt
Steel that sings inside the dirt
I don’t threaten, I don’t warn
I just become the quiet storm
You said “get strong or disappear”
So I became your quiet fear
I’m soft—
But hard enough to hurt.

I bend like smoke, crack like bone
But only when I am alone
And when you asked me just what broke?
I said—
nothing. I’ve just grown.

I’m soft—but hard enough to hurt
Scarred in ways I can’t revert
I don’t bleed, I distort
I’m the wound that sings in court
You said “get strong or disappear”
So I became your quiet fear
I’m soft—
But hard enough to hurt.

I’m soft...
But hard enough—

Hard Enough To Hurt
