[Verse]
Why did I do that what a dumb play
I fumbled the steps tripped on my own sway
The guard heard my noise his eyes like fire
I broke into the dark chased by his ire

[Verse 2]
He shouted stop but my feet took flight
I raced through the shadows beneath the pale light
A crack rang out and it brushed my arm
But I clenched the bag tight stayed out of harm

[Chorus]
Oh why oh why did I risk it all
Money in hand but I hear the call
My heart is pounding but I can’t turn back
Caught in the thrill on this reckless track

[Verse 3]
The city’s a maze I weave and dive
Adrenaline pumping just trying to survive
Underneath the neon skies I slip away
But the guilt snaps at me like the night to the day

[Bridge]
Counting cash doesn’t numb the pain
The prize feels heavy like a ball and chain
Is this the price for a life lived fast
The future seems doubtful the shadows cast

[Chorus]
Oh why oh why did I risk it all
Money in hand but I hear the call
My heart is pounding but I can’t turn back
Caught in the thrill on this reckless track

The Great Escape

We're like sheep without a shepherd, but we can't just sleep forever...

[Verse 1]
Shadows crawl across the floor
Whispers creep behind the door
Moonlight’s cold, the silence thick
Every heartbeat feels like a trick

[Pre-Chorus]
Something's coming, can’t explain
In the stillness, thrill and pain

[Chorus]
I’m a spark in the dark
Strike me once, I leave a mark
Fire in disguise
With danger in my eyes
I don’t run, I ignite
In the black of the night
I’m a spark in the dark
And I’m ready to start

[Verse 2]
Venom lips and silent steps
Truth gets lost where secrets slept
Breathless now, you're in too deep
The kind of fire you don’t want to keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Underneath the calm, I twist
Wrapped in smoke and shadows kissed

[Chorus]
I’m a spark in the dark
Strike me once, I leave a mark
Fire in disguise
With danger in my eyes
I don’t run, I ignite
In the black of the night
I’m a spark in the dark
And I’m ready to start

[Bridge]
You thought the night was safe, was still
But I’m the heat beneath the chill
A flicker’s all it takes to burn
Now watch the world around you turn

[Rap]
Came from the silence, born in the void
A flash in the pitch where the light gets destroyed
Tiptoe breath, yeah, I’m built from fear
But I dance with the flames that never disappear
This ain’t luck, it’s a calculated spark
I paint chaos in the shape of art

[Chorus]
I’m a spark in the dark
Strike me once, I leave a mark
Fire in disguise
With danger in my eyes
No escape from the bite
When I kiss the night
I’m a spark in the dark
Your silent, deadly light

[Outro]
So close your eyes
Make your peace
When I arrive
The games don’t cease
No warning
No bark
Just a spark in the dark

Voice in the Wind is a haunting, wintry meditation on silence, memory, and resilience. With vivid imagery of snow-covered roads and vanishing horizons, it explores how winter transforms the world—shaping shadows, muting sound, and revealing quiet beauty beneath the cold. The lyrics weave a sense of both solitude and hope, closing with the gentle reminder that spring always waits beyond the frozen night.
