“I want to be you / but I never want to say the truth to you” — it captures that mix of vulnerability and emotional detachment that defines late-night overthinking.

Wedding Day

[Verse 1]
There’s a man on the corner with a jacket too big,
Counting the cracks like they’re notes on a grid.
He talks to the air like it’s something he trusts,
And the silence replies with a layer of dust.
“I’m not crazy, I’d rather be dead,”
The man said sternly to the voice in his head.
But the words fall flat, like a song out of tune,
While the sky hums softly with a paper-thin moon.

[Chorus]
And I just watch him fade into the streetlight glow,
Carrying a secret only he could know.
If he’s lost, then he hides it in the fold of his smile,
Walking with the madness like a friend for a while.

[Verse 2]
He folds paper birds out of receipts in his hands,
Lets them all fly where the lamppost stands.
The world keeps spinning, but he stands still,
Wrapped in a blanket that the night can’t fill.
And when he laughs, it’s a fragile sound,
Like glass in the wind, falling down, down, down.
But he catches himself with a shake of his head,
Repeats that same phrase he already said.

[Chorus 2]
And I just watch him fade into the streetlight glow,
Carrying a secret only he could know.
If he’s lost, then he hides in the hum of the night,
Holding hands with madness till the morning light.

[Bridge]
Maybe he’s broken, maybe he’s free,
Maybe he’s something I wish I could be.
Dancing with shadows, refusing the cure,
He says he’s not crazy—
But I’m not so sure.

[Final Chorus] 
And I just watch him fade into the streetlight glow,
Carrying a secret only he could know.
If he’s gone, then he’s found in a world of his own,
Building quiet kingdoms where he’s never alone.

Lyrics:
Who will catch you when you fall?
When all those you love have betrayed you.

Who will be there by your side?
And who can you count on this time?

When there’s nothing left to fear
But the rage in your heart uncontrolled

When you know the end is near
The fire in your heart will run cold

Who knows why you cannot see?
And who knows what weighs on your mind?

Who knows why love can’t break free?
And who knows the secrets you hide?

Lyrics :

Ghostly Thrill

[Verse]
Shadows dance where the moonlight spills
A whisper hums through the window sills
The air is cold it bites it chills
I feel the pull the ghostly thrill

[Chorus]
Oh the ghostly thrill it haunts my veins
Through the darkened halls it calls my name
A shiver runs but I stay still
I’m addicted to the ghostly thrill

[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo but no one's there
A fleeting figure a vacant stare
The walls are breathing the candles flare
I feel alive but I’m trapped in despair

[Bridge]
It’s a heartbeat that’s not my own
A voice that cracks like breaking stone
I try to leave but I’m not alone
This ghostly thrill it chills my bone

[Chorus]
Oh the ghostly thrill it haunts my veins
Through the darkened halls it calls my name
A shiver runs but I stay still
I’m addicted to the ghostly thrill

[Outro]
It’s not fear it’s a wicked grace
A spectral kiss a cold embrace
I chase the shadows they chase me still
Forever lost in the ghostly thrill.

You are like Gravity in my Soul when I love you

Gravity

Dive into the core of the Phantom Harmony concept. "The Mind's Kaleidoscope" is a dense, sprawling journey into pure sonic data. This track uses swirling, phasing organs and shimmering electric sitar to build a perfectly controlled, beautiful hallucination of sound. It's not chaos—it's Psychedelic Fusion so pristine it feels alien. Listeners are invited to explore the layers and find the beautiful, fractal truth within the digital noise.

The Minds Kaleidoscope
