Shadows of Regret

Verse 1
You thought the silence kept you safe
But secrets always find their way
The mirror shows what lies can’t hide
The weight you carry deep inside

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus  
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret

Verse 2
The words you whispered fade to dust
But promises decay with rust
No comfort in the games you play
The truth is all that stays

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret
 
Bridge
All the doors you tried to close
Open wide, the story shows
Time won’t heal what’s been betrayed
Only truth remains

Final Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret

Shadows of Regret (Synthwave Mix)

It’s two in the morning, the sirens blare slow,
The avenue shivers in blue and red glow.
Your name comes in crackles like some AM band—
A prayer half-erased by a tremoring hand.

They said you grew feathers, or maybe just fled—
The house in Montclair with the books by the bed.
I still have your postcards, the margins all burned,
That poem you scratched where the page wouldn't turn.

Oh, the silver thread you pulled through the storm,
Tied to my finger to keep myself warm.
And Mary — yes, she’s here — she still waits by the door,
She's always right there and ready for more.

Do you still wear that coat — the one stitched with stars?
The collar all frayed from the backseat of cars.
It smelled like wet cedar and missed subway stops,
You’d vanish for months with your key to the shop.

I dreamt you last night in your Lutheran coat,
You said, “Don’t forgive me, just finish the note.”
And I did, though it bled through the back of the page—
The ink like a memory you couldn’t quite cage.

Oh, the silver thread you wove through your flight,
Lit up like tinsel and burned into night.
And Mary — she still sings in the kitchen at dawn,
But her voice, it has shadows where yours would belong.

Well, what can I tell you, my ghost from the floor?
You left in a hurry, but you haunt even more.
I saw your reflection in windows half-shut,
And the mail you addressed me still smells of burnt 

Oh, the silver thread, it frays where it ends,
But I still wear the knot where your silence extends.
And Mary — she forgives you, and where you have been,
And I… I remember you more than you mean.

#indie 

try imagine
if we could fly together
without wings, just on the clouds
this  flight could last forever
you and l,  endless  sky
[ bridge ]
fluffy clouds
[ bridge ]
forever

with your hands in my coat
never be alone
feeling your breath on my skin
all shining stars in your eyes
what would you say
[ bridge ]
could we ever fly?

you and l,  endless  sky
fluffy clouds
forever
[ bridge ]
ask me
[ bridge ]
why?


and now
I see how you'r breathing deep
evereything is small 
I am flying si high
touching stars
moving earth
screaming 
[ bridge ]
aaaahhh
[ bridge ]
my way
[ bridge ]
all day

ask me why?

[ instrumental outro ]

I'm flying so high...

All the noise fades slow,
traces melt where rivers go.
Hands unclench, the sky breathes in —
this is where the calm begins.

No triumph, no disguise,
just the hush behind your eyes.
Every storm, every spin,
leads me where the calm begins.

Every thought, a passing tide,
every fear, a place to hide.
Still, the silence pulls me in —
to where the calm begins.

Maybe peace was never far,
just quieter than we are.
Now I hear it from within —
where the calm begins.

And if the world forgets my name,
I’ll whisper back, it’s all the same —
for I am more than loss or win,
I am where the calm begins.

Where the Calm begins

Lyrics:

Sometimes I stare into the mirror for too long...
The tired eyes, the scars of regret, the face worn down by time..
I ask myself...
Does the image of God still remain in this reflection...
Sin, Fear, and Pride twist the contours of my soul...
I can hardly believe that divinity ever touched this dust...

Yet somewhere deep within...
A still voice whispers...
You were made in My image...
Imago Dei... 
The ancient truth that humanity was breathed out by Love itself...
That we are not random matter but reflections of the divine heart...
If God is love...
Then every act of mercy, every tear forgiven...
Is a return to the origin of who I am...

But I lose that image so easily...
When anger triumphs over patience...
When I choose resentment instead of compassion...
The mirror fogs, and the light fades...
And yet, in the dimness, I see Him...
the One who is the image of the invisible God...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Who walked among us to restore the glory we forgot...

Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...

Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...

Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...

He did not come wrapped in power but in humility...
Though He was in the form of God...
He did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped...
But emptied Himself...
In His surrender, I glimpse the face of the Father...
Through the cross...
The shattered mirror of humanity begins to mend...

Imago Dei...
It is not perfection I possess...
But a presence I reflect...
It is not my goodness...
But God’s unrelenting love that still echoes within me...
Even when I forget who I am...
He remembers the breath He placed in me...

To live in His image is not merely to exist...
But to love, to create, to forgive...
To choose truth over deceit, hope over despair...
Is to let the divine likeness breathe again through my humanity...
Be transformed by the renewal of your mind...
This is not a command of discipline alone...
But a call to return... 
To remember whose reflection we are...

That is the mystery of Imago Dei...
To be human is to bear the reflection of divine love...
to be redeemed is to shine again with the glory once lost...
And this journey...
Through weakness, repentance, and grace...
Is the slow, beautiful return...
To the image of the One who first said...
Let us make man in our image...

Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...

Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
Jesus Christ, the perfect Imago Dei...
