Cracked Reflection is a collection of songs that look inward, outward, and everywhere in between. Blending the drama of arena rock, the intimacy of country-pop storytelling, and the raw emotion of theatrical ballads, this album captures the sound of questions we all ask — and the answers we sometimes don’t want to hear.

From dark, obsessive rock to sweeping anthems and tender piano-driven confessions, each track is a piece of the mirror — fractured, imperfect, but undeniably real. Cracked Reflection doesn’t sit neatly in one genre; it’s a fusion of power and vulnerability, with songs that soar, sting, and stay with you long after they end.

Reason to Believe (a.k.a. Nobody’s Perfect)

[Verse 1]
Nobody’s perfect
Everybody has a fault
Some more than others
Some think they have none at all.
I can search for hours
Even search for days
There’s no perfect person
Like no sunlight in the haze

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh help me please, find the reason
Why can’t we see, there’s no pleasing everyone
Even when the game is done
It’s not a win for everyone.

[Chorus]
We’ve opened ourselves to interpretation
Introduced ourselves to complications
When it should be easy to see
We soothe ourselves with meditation
Numb our minds with medication
When all we really need, is a reason to believe

[Verse 2]
When life was so simple
Your word was your measure
It had everything you needed
It healed and gave us pleasure
Now it seems we’ve moved away
Some say the times are better
I’m not sure that I'd agree
But I can’t hold on forever

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh help me please, find the reason
Why can’t we see, there’s no pleasing everyone
Even when the game is done
It’s not a win for everyone.

[Chorus]
We’ve opened ourselves to interpretation
Introduced ourselves to complications
When it should be easy to see
We soothe ourselves with meditation
Numb our minds with medication
When all we really need, is a reason to believe
[Bridge]
How can I remind you?
I’m right here behind you
You needn’t be afraid
Just listen, and hear what I have to say
Listen to what I have to say

[Chorus]
We’ve opened ourselves to interpretation
Introduced ourselves to complications
When it should be easy to see
We soothe ourselves with meditation
Numb our minds with medication
When all we really need, is a reason to believe

Time

Verse 1
Tick-tock blast, break the clock
Spinning wild, no second shot
Running fast, can’t look back
Lose your mind, prepare to crack
Burning wheels, neon flame
Never slow, it’s all a game
Shout and scream, break the line
Race the world, it’s time to shine

Chorus
Time’s on fire, it’s burning down
I’m rolling up, not slowing down
Chasing every heartbeat, breaking through the day
Running out of patience, can’t keep it away —
It’s time!

Verse 2
Flash the light, cut the sound
Lightning strikes, you’re underground
Jump the wire, hit the gas
Don’t look down, just kick the glass
Speed and spin, catch the fire
Chase the clock, electric wire
No escape, no rewind
Time’s a thief — blow your mind

Chorus
Time’s on fire, it’s burning down
I’m rolling up, not slowing down
Chasing every heartbeat, breaking through the day
Running out of patience, can’t keep it away —
It’s time!

B Part (Bridge — theatrical, pulsing rhythm)
Time is a friend, — 
not an enemy
Time moves fast and  silently
The future’s too close, too close to see

Time to sing
Time to die
Time, 
no time — 
don’t ask me why
It’s time!



Final Chorus (Repeat & Fade)
Time’s on fire, it’s burning down
I’m rolling up, not slowing down
Chasing every heartbeat, breaking through the day
Running out of patience, can’t keep it away —
It’s time!

Time

Hearts of Silence is an emotional indie pop ballad carried by expressive female vocals and delicate instrumentation. The song flows like a continuous thought, moving between acoustic intimacy and cinematic depth. It captures the quiet unraveling of a relationship — where words divide, love fades, and silence says more than anything spoken. With its reflective tone and haunting refrain, it feels both personal and universal, offering listeners a space to sit with heartbreak and healing. 

Hearts of Silence
[Verse 1]
I look into your eyes
 There’s no disguise
 The love that was there
 Has wandered off  
- somewhere -
 We could make amends
 I don't understand
 I guess I was wrong
something fresh and new
 Exciting for you
 The love we’ve shared 
-is gone-

[Pre Chorus]
 But life keeps moving on
 We learn to carry on
 Nothing left to say
You turn and walk away

[Chorus]
The words we say
–divide us–
We love with hearts of silence
We lost our time to try
Never knowing why?
We love with hearts of silence
We love with hearts of silence

[instrumental 8 bars]

[Chorus – repeat]
The words we say
–divide us–
We love with hearts of silence
We lost our time to try
Never knowing why?
We love with hearts of silence
We love with hearts of silence

[Bridge]
You’re not alone
 I share the blame
 I know it takes two
 Love isn't a game
 We all lose

[Instrumental 4 bars]

[Verse 1 Reprise]
I look into your eyes
 There’s no disguise
 The love that was there
 Has wandered off  
- somewhere -
 We could make amends
 I don't understand
 I guess I was wrong

[Pre Chorus]
 But life keeps moving on
 We learn to carry on
 Nothing left to say
You turn and walk away

[Chorus – final repeat/fade]
The words we say
–divide us–
We love with hearts of silence
We lost our time to try
Never knowing why?
We love with hearts of silence
The words we say
–divide us–
We love with hearts of silence
We lost our time to try
Never knowing why?
We love with hearts of silence

We love with hearts
 -of silence-

Hearts of Silence

Cracked Reflection – Night Life (A.I.)

Night Life (A.I.) is the fourth full-length album from Cracked Reflection, written during one of the most intense creative runs of my life. What started as a few late-night ideas turned into thirteen songs—each one built from raw emotion, real experiences, and the strange, beautiful chaos that comes from creating with both instinct and imagination.

This album blends dark rock, alternative pop, cinematic storytelling, gritty funk, modern country-leaning ballads, and acoustic confessionals. Every track carries a different heartbeat: explosive attitude in “Narcissistic,” carnival-haunted tension in “Homicidal Suicide,” playful danger in “Unless You’re Gonna Mean It,” and quiet, honest vulnerability in songs like “You and Me, Me and You” and “My Inspiration.”

Even though the styles shift, the theme stays the same:
the world is loud, life gets weird, love gets complicated, and somehow we still keep going.

All lyrics were written by me.
Some production elements used A.I. assistance, but the ideas, the stories, the emotion—that’s all human.

Thank you for helping push Cracked Reflection past 21.6K plays so far.
This album exists because people kept listening.

Enjoy the songs, in whatever order speaks to you… and welcome to the Night Life.

You and Me, Me and You

Cracked Reflection
