Come Back Slow is a poetic and emotionally charged duet performed by a male and female voice, portraying two perspectives of a fractured relationship. The song unfolds in three verses, each revealing layers of longing, regret, and quiet resilience. The male voice reflects on abandonment and emotional distance, while the female voice responds with vulnerability and unwavering presence.

Their voices intertwine in the pre-chorus and chorus, echoing shared memories and unresolved tension. The lyrics explore themes of pride, silence, and the hope for reconciliation. Instrumental sections act as emotional bridges, using ambient textures, trembling strings, and pulsing rhythms to deepen the atmosphere. The final chorus becomes an intimate plea for healing and reconnection, as both voices converge in a moment of fragile unity.

The piece blends introspective lyricism with cinematic electronic elements, creating a soundscape that is both expansive and deeply personal — a twilight dialogue between two souls trying to find their way back.

Your Face is Not in The Mirror


[Verse 1]
You can try - tell me how to think
Maybe how - you want me to feel
You can spread - lies with poison ink
Before you close - your heart of steel
[Verse 2 (Band)]
You’re too smart - I never know
Always right - you have the answers
Doesn't matter - which way the wind blows
You only play - these songs for dancers
[Chorus]
I don’t know how - I can be any clearer
I have to live with myself everyday
There’s no more love - that keeps us together
There's no more game - no more play
Your face is not in the mirror
 
[Verse 3]
Why do you - feel left out
When you don’t - get your way
There's no need - to scream or shout
When you lose - the game you play
[Verse 4]
You always take - more than you deserve
When there’s enough - to share with me
You just feel - I need to serve
There’s no - reason to believe
[Chorus (Harmonies)]
I don’t know how - I can be any clearer
I have to live with myself everyday
There’s no more love - that keeps us together
There's no more game - no more play
Your face is not in the mirror
[Instrumental Break 4 bars]
[Bridge ]
I need to see - it’s now or never
I can’t hold on - I can’t look back
I have to see - if I lose forever
I have to leave - You need to know.
I can't stay I have to go
[Chorus (Big Strong Harmonies)]
I don’t know how - I can be any clearer
I have to live with myself everyday
There’s no more love - that keeps us together
There's no more game - no more play
Your face is not in the mirror
I don’t know how
 
 [Chorus]
I don’t know how - I can be any clearer
I have to live with myself everyday
There’s no more love - that keeps us together
There's no more game - no more play
Your face is not in the mirror
[Outro]
[FADE to END]
Your face - is not - in the mirror
Your face - is not - in the mirror
Your face - is not - in the mirror
Your face - is not - in the mirror
Your face - is not - in the mirror

Face in the Mirror

I wrote this one at 3:30 in the morning after coming home from the Life of a Showgirl release party. I was still floating in the glittered air of that night. The kind of night that makes you believe in art again. Maybe it was the drinks, maybe it was the memories, but I came back buzzing, aching, feeling. So I did what I’ve always done when I can’t quite make sense of my heart, I wrote.

This song spilled out between laughter and tears. A tribute to that era of Taylor, to the poets who cry at their own words, to the dreamers who stay up past twilight chasing closure in ink. It’s a sad song dressed in celebration, because even when it hurts, writing is my way of smiling through it. My outlet. My midnight ritual. My reminder that even in the ache, there’s beauty and even in the scribbles, there’s art.

Lyrics:

Dark hair
Light eyes
Was always my type
Low voice
Slow drawl
Was my kind of guy
But your falsetto makes it hard to breathe
All those high notes spark something deep in me

You changed the
Key to my heart
But is this a
Shot in the dark?

Not what I’m 
Used to
Used to
Fallin’ hard
For what you do
You do
A different direction
The melody
Oh, how the 
Tables have turned
Set my rules on fire, 
Watch them burn
You’re the best serenade I’ve heard

Sad songs
Ballads
Were my go-to
Cowboys
Making noise
Were the types I was drawn to
But your subtlety brings me a sense of peace
And all that chemistry becomes the harmony

You changed the
Key to my heart
But is this a
Shot in the dark?

Not what I’m 
Used to
Used to
Fallin’ hard
For what you do
You do
A different direction
The melody
Oh, how the 
Tables have turned
Set my rules on fire, 
Watch them burn
You’re the best serenade I’ve heard

This song is my favorite
We agreed its underrated
I’ve never been more understood
Till now

Not what I’m 
Used to
Used to
Fallin’ hard
For what you do
You do
A different direction
The melody
Oh, how the 
Tables have turned
Set my rules on fire, 
Watch them burn
You’re the best serenade I’ve heard

Serenade (Full-Band Demo)

A chemical "anomaly" revealed through an analysis of meteorites may have led to finding the first existing evidence of "proto Earth."


(Verse 1)
In the molten dawn of a young world's birth
A sphere of fire spun with dust and mirth
Less than a hundred million years into her spin
She met a visitor, fierce from deep within
And in that clash of worlds she changed her name
What once was “proto-Earth” burned in cosmic flame

(Chorus)
Now we hear the whisper of ancient stone
Fragments of a world we thought had gone
In Greenland, Canada, beneath our feet they lie
Holding keys to when the sky was new and high
They're slivers of silent Earth, surviving the blast
Echoes of the beginning, shadows of the past

(Verse 2)
A Mars-sized guest called Theia came crashing through the dark
Sent molten seas of rock and dreams into the spark
The moon rose up from rubble and the molten tide
And Earth's old blueprint was altered deep inside
But now in ancient rocks, in potassium's small sign
We trace the silent heartbeat of a world left behind

(Chorus)
Now we hear the whisper of ancient stone
Fragments of a world we thought had gone
In Greenland, Canada, beneath our feet they lie
Holding keys to when the sky was new and high
They're slivers of silent Earth, surviving the blast
Echoes of the beginning, shadows of the past

(Bridge)
From magma oceans, thunderous and wild
To a stable living world when calm returned our child
Those broken shards remind us how the story ran
Of chaos shaped into order, of fire into land
And if we listen quietly, we can almost hear
The ghost of proto-Earth, calling soft and clear

(Verse 3)
For every rock that holds that signature so rare
We gain a page of time, we gain a distant air
Of a world before the one we call our home
Of a world remade, and set in stone to roam
So we stand on ancient ground, look out at sky so wide
And feel the truth that even worlds can turn inside

(Final Chorus)
Now we hear the whisper of ancient stone
Fragments of a world we thought had gone
In Greenland, Canada, beneath our feet they lie
Holding keys to when the sky was new and high
They're slivers of silent Earth, surviving the blast
Echoes of the beginning, shadows of the past

(Outro - softly)
And in the hush of midnight's gentle light
We remember the first fire, the primal flight
Of worlds that came together, of worlds undone
And we listen to the silence, remembering the one.

2. Stay with Me A Little While
Lyrics by Freylancer

It’s been a while
Since I last tapped the ball
A gentle roll around the rim
And then a birdie falls

It makes me smile
Time and time again
To see a fairway green and lush
To the Toad we pray, amen

So stay with me a little while
Since it's been so long
And time means nothing in the now
We’re right where we belong

Let this swing be sung in rhyme
A tale struck gently out of time
The flag still waves, the wind still sighs
As we lay beneath these wahoo skies

I'm gonna take my shot now
The last one of the game
Then we’ll go our separate ways
But no one is to blame

For golf is fickle to be sure
That’s why it comes and goes
Like a club swings through the air
Obstructed by a nose

So stay with me a little while
Since it's been so long
And time means nothing in the now
We’re right where we belong

Let this swing be sung in rhyme
A tale struck gently out of time
The flag still waves, the wind still sighs
As we lay beneath these wahoo skies
