Doubt it final feat. Stephan Manu

Tick, tock
truth is late
Clap, stomp
we still wait

Two plus two is five tonight
Wrong feels heavy, lies feel light
Shadows bend, the crowd obeys
Start again, there's no end

Yeah! Numbers break
Yeah! Mirrors shake
Yeah! Nonsense rhymes
Yeah! It stands through time

Maps are drawn without the land
Castles built on grains of sand
Echoes ring, the night is loud
Wisdom hides inside the crowd

If the joke makes sense
It wasn't deep enough
If the nonsense lingers
It might be true

Shadows laugh
mirrors bend
Truth's a circle with no end
Clap once
stomp twice
Even lies can sound precise

Yeah! Numbers break
Yeah! Mirrors shake
Yeah! Nonsense rhymes
Yeah! It stands through time
Yeah! Clap, stomp, wait
Yeah! Truth is late

Tick, tock
Truth is late
Clap, stomp
We still wait

Truth Is Late (TikTok song)

5 

Five days away
I sense a little tension
I'll bring the bad news into your day

Five days away
I sense a need of intervention
Or someone's getting hurt in some way


Oh, when you come home
And see that look upon my face
I won't need to say why I don't feel so great
It's time to go
And save you from a life of pain
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain


Five months away
You won't shed a tear
If I die there where I lay
Five months away
You'll see me at the station
Once you notice me, you'll turn away


Oh, when you come home
And see that look upon my face
I won't need to say why I don't feel so great
It's time to go
And save you from a life of pain
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain


(Ooh) Five years away
There'll be another one you know
Who won't break your heart and ever let you go

[Chorus]
Oh, when you come home
And see that look upon my face
I won't need to say why I don't feel so great
It's time to go
And save you from a life of pain
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain


Only time
Only time
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain
Only time
Only time
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain

Music and Lyrics by Tom Hall ©️2025

[Verse 1]
Hidden currents
Flow beneath choices, carrying whispers of unseen truth
Paths converge, opportunities appear, timing aligns, but only for those attuned to notice, ready to step, ready to act without forcing the moment
Energy moves through intention, thought, and emotion, layering in complex patterns; each action taken in harmony with the flow magnifies manifestation, creating outcomes that feel inevitable and alive

[Verse 2]
Empty wishing
Hopes without motion drift aimlessly through the mind
Desire alone, tangled with fear, impatience, or doubt, cannot create results; vibration misaligned, actions weak or absent, opportunity passes unnoticed
Focusing only on outcomes while ignoring inner alignment and deliberate action produces frustration, cycles of waiting, and missed chances; manifestation requires coherence, not wishful thinking

[Bridge 1]
Silent momentum
Builds beneath awareness, unseen yet persistent
Patience and clarity merge, guiding subtle decisions that ripple outward, preparing the ground for outcomes yet to materialize
Every aligned thought, every intentional step, compounds invisibly; small choices gain weight, timing unfolds naturally, and reality begins to mirror the inner state with quiet precision

[Chorus 1]
Magnetic pulse
Not by wishing, but by leaning into the signal
Inner vibration sets direction; emotion and focus guide action, momentum builds as reality mirrors your state
You are magnet and motion, observer and participant; aligned heart, steady mind, intentional step, and life bends, converging naturally around your resonance and intent

[Verse 3]
Shifting light
Illuminates the edges of your hidden choices
Every subtle decision, every quiet intention, compounds unseen, creating ripple effects in life’s fabric that eventually surface as tangible reality
Notice the pattern, follow the nudges, act with mindful energy; the outer world bends not to desire alone, but to congruence between inner vibration and physical motion

[Bridge 2]
Hushed energy
Moves like smoke, shaping things without force or effort
Patience and awareness together allow resonance to guide action; forcing or ignoring flow diminishes results
Step lightly, observe fully, act intentionally; the world answers alignment, not demand, and subtle energies catalyze events that feel destined yet free

[Chorus 2]
Magnetic pulse
Not by wishing, but by leaning into the signal
Inner vibration sets direction; emotion and focus guide action, momentum builds as reality mirrors your state
You are magnet and motion, observer and participant; aligned heart, steady mind, intentional step, and life bends, converging naturally around your resonance and intent

[Outro]
Quiet gravity
Anchors us even when everything else shifts
Every subtle movement, thought, and feeling traces the lines of unseen energy, culminating in outcomes we call luck, destiny, or synchronicity
Embrace alignment, act with clarity, trust the currents, and let resonance carry you; the song of life unfolds naturally, a reflection of inner state vibrating outward into every dimension of experience

Me In A Dream's Outrageous Act Of Randomness

Composed, produced, sung and played by Carlos R (Carlos Rodrigues)

I woke up this morning and said, "Lord, I have to write this song."
Please don't let me be a sinner, always tell me what I did right or wrong.
They're trying to convince us, they pull hard, and it will never end.
Sometimes by lying, sometimes by killing. I beg you, Lord, give us the promised land.

A man is a man, let real science tell the truth.
You have nasty gender, and now what are you going to do?
A woman is a woman, why you don't understand?
The Lord defined it; please give us the promised land.

They're chasing children, telling them they can be something else.
A wound that never heals grows in their minds like an ugly spell.
It's time to stop this, Lord, please give me strength.
I need to tell my brothers that together we will fight this hell.

A man is a man, let science tell the truth.
You have an nasty gender, and now what are you going to do?
A woman is a woman, why you don't understand?
The Lord defined it; please give us the promised land.

Please give us the promised land.
Oh Lord,
Give us the promised land.

Sometimes I feel like... I don't know.
I feel like people need to wake up.
You know what... we got to fix this.

Promised land

I wrote and composed this Country Rock song a while back about my dog (best friend) but didn't have a country artist to sing it at the time.  This is the second collaboration with Aether Flux Lewis (Luther Lewis) and I hope everyone enjoys it.  And of course it has my rock style infused in this song lol.
