City Lights, Country Heart

I used to ooze confidence-
ooze a self-belief,
certainty was my close friend
but my success was brief.
I ran into a massive goodbye.
Lately I've been losing my grip-
no longer have a significant other.
He slipped away last year.

Memories of him I still adore.
But I don't cry for him anymore.
I don't cry for him anymore.
He said when the tears have gone.
Take a deep breath- and move on.
Take a deep breath- and move on.

So I'm taking his heavenly advice.
I've sorted through our lost life.
I'm liquidating all of our assets.
Getting set-up to start over.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.
Hey you, up there on your cloud,
pretty sure you'd be proud of me.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.

Let It Flow

Verse 1
Let Your grace come over me like the falling snow
And may it bring great consolation to my soul
And let those downy flakes fall upon my face
As I look to You, Faithful and True,
In the snowfall of Your grace			

Chorus 1
I stand by faith through grace alone
I stand by faith that’s not my own
I stand with You and I lift my face
I stand with You
In the snowfall of Your grace

Verse 2
Your grace envelops me, I’m confident, I know
My sins are washed away, I’m as pure as this snow
So let those downy flakes fall upon my face
As I look up to You, Faithful and True
In the snowfall of Your grace

Chorus 2
I stand by faith through grace alone
I stand by faith that’s not my own
I stand with You and I lift my face
I stand with You
In the snowfall of Your grace

Bridge
By faith through grace
This gift of God
Salvation has come today

No works, no  deeds
Or merit to show
I stand alone with You in this place  

Chorus 3
I stand by faith through grace alone
I stand by faith that’s not my own
I stand with You and I lift my face
I stand with You
In the snowfall of Your grace

Outro
I stand by faith
I lift my face
I stand with You oh Lord
In the snowfall of Your grace
Yes In the snowfall of Your grace
Oh In the snowfall 
In the snowfall of Your grace


Snowfall of Your Grace

A cardboard house full of plastic chairs
Digital fish in the fish tank stare
Love for sale on the OLED screen
Paper is better, words kept unseen

I'm looking at the screens
You’re looking at the screens
We’re looking at the screens
Stop looking at the screens

I wanna be someone else's kid
Refrigerator full of smash-and-grab
I'll make you a crown out of paper straws
Tell me a joke that I haven't heard

I'm looking at the screens
You’re looking at the screens
We’re looking at the screens
Stop looking at the screens

I bought you a hat to match all your tee shirts
Soft static and shades of yellow suburban
I will be Frank and you'll be my ma cherie
Coat full of patches and kaleidoscope daydreams

I'm looking at the screens
You’re looking at the screens
We’re looking at the screen
Stop looking at the screen

Healthy Mind (Brightest Bright)

Whispers in the Night

Body (feat. Ava Bennett)

"Falling Forward" is the debut album by Marqis Mason – a musical journey through restlessness, self-discovery, and hope. Across ten deep and dynamic tracks, Mason blends indie pop, hip-hop, and electronic influences into a sound that feels both modern and emotionally resonant.

The album explores the highs and lows of life – from escaping into nightlife ("Gimmy Dat Bounce"), to the inner struggle between past and future ("Break the Chains"), to the search for real love ("Caught in Your Eyes") and the importance of friendship ("All My People").

With introspective lyrics, powerful melodies, and driving beats, Marqis Mason proves that every step – even a stumbling one – moves us forward. "Falling Forward" is more than just an album; it’s a soundtrack for those navigating their own journey.

All My People

Not many people can avoid the struggle of heartbreak and trying to save a relationship while becoming resolved that it needs to end. There are at least 2 sides to every story, but in my experience working with countless people trying to move on, that it is not easy.The breakup - make up cycle can go on for years until for many, that day arrives. That day when you know, enough is enough and it is truly the end. You do not want to cut and run in relationships without trying to work things out - but there is also the other side of the extreme, which is overcooking and drifting into numbness. 

Wet Blurry Bright Lights Lyrics 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good

They tried to warn me 
You were no good
They didn't see 
The parts of you I could 
So many glimpses 
Of what could have been
The second eye opened
To finally see 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

So much love 
When you were in the mood 
Hysterical laughter 
Aching bellies, after
I hope you miss me 
Like I think you should 
I did so much for you 
But you made it win-lose

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

I feel different now 
Like its really it this time
It was that look
When I caught my eyes
In the mirror 
Too numb from the hurt  
From too many lies  
Too many times, burnt 

I tried to change you 
Thought you wanted to 
I gave way too much 
But giving was a rush 
That spoiled you rotten
Now I’ve removed the cotton
And removed myself 
Soon, you’ll be long forgotten 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good

Wet Blurry Bright Lights

I got these snakes around my neck
And I got these diamonds on my chest
They say I look like I just got paid
They say I look like I should have stayed
But I do anything I want

I got these dreams inside my head
And I can't stop thinking 'bout my ex
They say I look like I just got laid
And then they ask if I know my name
But I do anything I want

I got a bad habit
Of loving what I can't have
Can't have it
But I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)

I got my head up in the clouds
And I got these demons pulling me down
They say I look like I just got high
And then they ask if I wanna die
But I do anything I want

I got a bad habit
Of loving what I can't have
Can't have it
But I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)
I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)

I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)
I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)
I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)
I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)

I got a bad habit
Of loving what I can't have
Can't have it
But I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)
I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)
I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)

Anything I want

I think, therefor I am
A little insight of me, growing up I have always loved music, love songs were my go to, bit of a romantic I guess, in time i learned to play really basic keyboard and followed by the electronic age, fell in love with rhythm thus ended up with a set of drums of which I haven't played in some time, as technology came to pass I started playing with PC studio mixing desks, lets jump 15 years to today and now we have AI, before you throw all your toys out of the cot because of AI for me it has enable me to create the sounds I love, the message and the feel, there are a few listeners whom are adamant that AI is bad, then if that's the case then throw away your phone, PC, TV or maybe you or a loved one in hospital etc, nearly basically anything electronic, so please don't  condemn me for creating my music, most of what I try to make pallet able music  to the ear, there are some crazy stuff but it just me experimenting, all in all I just got tired of listening to the radio and decided to create me own, I thank you to all my listeners and followers, lov ya all.

Let It Flow
