Tears of the Innocent | SAD MUSIC

Lyrics:

You wore trust like a second skin
A smile wide as the ocean's grin
But shadows hid where light grew thin

I never saw the cracks in the stone
How could a heart be so unknown

In the quiet
In the night
Where monsters live out of sight
You stole what I can't reclaim
Left me screaming your name
Shadows at midnight
Shadows at midnight

The walls whispered secrets I missed
Truth burns colder than a Judas kiss
Every laugh now feels like a twist

I held the rope
You tied the noose
Trust isn't love
It's a dangerous truce

In the quiet
In the night
Where monsters live out of sight
You stole what I can't reclaim
Left me screaming your name
Shadows at midnight
Shadows at midnight

In the quiet
In the night
Where monsters live out of sight
You stole what I can't reclaim
Left me screaming your name
Shadows at midnight
Shadows at midnight

Shadows at Midnight - Feat. Kyle Schildt

My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I think about the days of two
I search the room, but you're not there
Your perfume lingers everywhere
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

In a world of pain, I have no peer
You fade away and disappear
And now I have to learn the game
Where no one wins or takes the blame
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Now that we are history
Only a memory
Only a memory

Only A memory

Lyrics:

The shadows crawl
They whisper low
A tangled maze
Nowhere to go
My breath is caught
My heart’s a stone
I’m here but feel so far from home
Neon is bleeding on the snow
Keys in my pocket with nowhere to go
A clock that ticks but never moves
A door that shuts and will not prove

Streetlights flicker like a code
Signals lost along the road
If hope is static on the line
I’ll press my ear and read the sign

Lost in the shadows
Can’t find the flame
Calling the light but it won’t know my name
Every step feels like a fight—
Oh—
How do I turn this dark to light

Say my name… say my name… (no answer)

The mirror cracks
It shows my fear
A face I know
But not quite clear
I reach for stars
They fade away
The night it laughs
It wants me to stay
Windows like teeth in a blackened street
Footsteps of ghosts that match my feet
Letters of smoke on a frozen pane
I write “I’m here” and it writes “pain”

But I won’t break
Not yet
Not now
I’ll find the way
I’ll learn somehow
If light is late and mercy slow
I’ll walk the bruise until it glows

Lost in the shadows
Can’t find the flame
Calling the light but it won’t know my name
Every step feels like a fight—
Oh—
How do I turn this dark to light

An iron rain on the railway bridge
A river that swallows what no one admits
Photographs lean like tired men
Smiles nailed down, won’t rise again
I taste the night like rusted wire
It hums my faults, it feeds the fire
If courage breaks, it breaks so slow—
A quiet “no” the dark won’t show

If I must crawl, I’ll crawl in time
On broken glass I’ll draw a line
From where I’m lost to where I’m found—
A silent map without a sound

Lost in the shadows
Far from the flame
Calling the light that forgets my name
Every step heavier than night—
Oh—
Teach me to turn this dark to light

If the night keeps all the doors,
I’ll build a key from breath and bone.
If the road forgets my feet,
I’ll leave a mark with heart alone.
I’m not your quiet, I’m not your stone.
I’m the echo that comes home.

If darkness is my only friend
I’ll hold its hand until it bends
I’ll steal its weight
I’ll wear its crown
And tear these shadows down
If silence is a locked-up shore
I’ll learn the tide and learn it more
I’ll bruise the night
Until it yields
A single spark across these fields

Count it—one… two… breathe… ignite—

Lost in the shadows—
I’ll name the flame,
Call to the dawn till it answers the same.
Every step hurts but every step holds—
I will not fold, I will not fold.
Lost in the shadows—
I carve a light,
Out of the hush, out of the bite.
If the night won’t give, then I will take—
A spark, a thread—enough to make

Light from dark.
Bone to bark.
Name from spark.

The shadows crawl—
but I still go.
A candle coughs—
and learns to glow.
(hold… release… hold… release)

This is my tribute to the most awesome TV-series on the planet!

Stranger Things!

Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics:

Lights flicker like a warning sign
The air is cold
The clocks rewind
Shadows stretch
They know my name
This town is cursed
But I came anyway

Hear the static
Feel the hum
Something wicked
Here it comes

Upside down
Love
It’s pulling me under
Can’t tell the sky from the thunder
You and me in the in-between
Lost in a Stranger Things dream

Walkie-talkies crackle in the night
Bikes on pavement
Fading light
Monsters whisper
Take my hand
But I’m still holding where we stand

Upside down
Love
It’s pulling me under
Can’t tell the sky from the thunder
You and me in the in-between
Lost in a Stranger Things dream

What’s real
What’s not
I’m out of breath
Fighting demons
Chasing death
But your touch feels like a map
Leading me home from this trap

Upside down
Love
It’s pulling me under
Can’t tell the sky from the thunder
You and me in the in-between
Lost in a Stranger Things dream

Upside Down Love - Feat. Daniel Espinoza

Lyrics:

The sun bows low its golden crown
The shadows stretch the world around
Her tiny hand
So soft
So frail
A whispered prayer
A paper sail

The clock it ticks but feels unkind
Each second stealing what’s still mine

Last light
Last touch
I won’t let go
Hold on
Hold on
Though time moves slow
The moon it rises
The night will fall
But this moment here—it holds it all

Her laughter’s echoes in my chest
A melody that won’t find rest
The beeping fades
The room stands still
I’d trade my soul to bend God’s will

Oh
Stars above
Do you see me break
A father’s heart
How much can it take
If love could stay
I’d give it all
But love is silent when shadows call

Last light
Last touch
I won’t let go
Hold on
Hold on
Though time moves slow
The moon it rises
The night will fall
But this moment here—it holds it all

Last light
Last touch
I won’t let go
Hold on
Hold on
Though time moves slow
The moon it rises
The night will fall
But this moment here—it holds it all

Last Light, Last Touch - Feat. Daniel Espinoza

Lyrics:

I walked alone down a neon street
My shadow my only company
Heart a drum but missing the beat

I wished on stars that didn’t shine
Hoped for love but ran out of time

Then she turned the corner
Stopped the world
The sky lit up
My heart unfurled
I was lost
Now I’m found
She’s the dream I didn’t know was around

Her eyes held stories I’d never read
Her smile a spark
It planted the seed
I forgot my name
Forgot how to breathe

Every second stretched like gold
In her gaze
The universe told

Then she turned the corner
Stopped the world
The sky lit up
My heart unfurled
I was lost
Now I’m found
She’s the dream I didn’t know was around

Then she turned the corner
Stopped the world
The sky lit up
My heart unfurled
I was lost
Now I’m found
She’s the dream I didn’t know was around

Dreams on the Corner

For the people of Ukraine!

Lyrics:

The fields of wheat sway under a heavy sky,
Where my father’s hands once turned the soil dry.
The smoke on the horizon, it creeps so near,
I hold my children close, swallowing my fear.

How do you leave the land that raised your name?
Every road feels wrong, but the world’s aflame.

I don’t want to leave, but the ground is shaking,
My children cry, and my heart is breaking.
The rivers run, but they don’t wash pain,
Oh, I’m leaving Ukraine, leaving Ukraine.

The church bells toll, but they sound like a plea,
A hymn for the lost, and the ones who flee.
My mother’s scarf wraps the cold ‘round my neck,
A tattered shield from the past I protect.

I don’t want to leave, but the ground is shaking,
My children cry, and my heart is breaking.
The rivers run, but they don’t wash pain,
Oh, I’m leaving Ukraine, leaving Ukraine.

What is a home, if it burns to the bone?
What is a flag, if it flies alone?
I’ll carry the soil in the soles of my shoes,
But no victory here, only things to lose.

I don’t want to leave, but the ground is shaking,
My children cry, and my heart is breaking.
The rivers run, but they don’t wash pain,
Oh, I’m leaving Ukraine, leaving Ukraine.

Я не хочу їхати, але земля тремтить,
Мої діти плачуть, і серце моє розбивається.
Річки течуть, але не змивають біль,
О, я залишаю Україну, залишаю Україну.

Leaving Ukraine

They said we’d be safer
with numbers carved beneath our names,
codes to hold us steady,
bound by quiet, trusted frames.
They promised us direction,
a perfect, unified design —
but every step to make us whole
kept cutting deeper down the line.


---


We signed without a tremor,
we trusted what we couldn’t see.
But no one told us wholeness
comes by splitting you and me.


---


You wanted us integral —
now look at what’s left of us.
Perfect on the surface,
fractured in the code beneath.
You called it unity,
we call it what it is:
broken,
broken by design.


---

They streamlined our reflection,
trimmed the edges from our voice.
Said silence makes us better,
said compliance is a choice.
And while we breathe their structure,
keeping still, aligned, refined —
the shape they built around us
slowly redefines our minds.


---


The brighter they project us,
the darker grows the interface.
Perfection is a smokescreen
for a system built to erase.


---


You wanted us integral —
now look at what’s left of us.
Perfect on the surface,
fractured in the code beneath.
You called it unity,
we call it what it is:
broken,
broken by design.


---


You said we’d never lose a thing,
but shadows measure what we’ve lost.
A seamless world is beautiful —
until you learn the cost.
We stand inside your algorithm,
still pretending we belong…
but everything becomes a prison
when you calibrate it wrong.


---


You wanted us integral —
but something in your perfect plan
is tearing through the architecture,
rewriting who we really am.
You call it harmony,
we call it what it is:
broken,
and breaking by design.


---


Perfect never meant unbroken.
You just never thought we'd notice.

Integral // Broken
