Lyrics 

Intro:
Every time I talk, I fall
Dreams align with the stars
Giving hope to better parts

Verse 1:
I get wrapped, curled into you
Crash down, falling on the ground
Thought I was strong ‘til I was found
Mind twisted, wrapped around
Every late night talk, we start
Eyes bloodshot, crazy dry—but it’s all blue
Looking through me, I see you
Numbers align, don’t say it ain’t true
All this time spent—it has to be you

Chorus:
Today, it’s fear—believing now in something real
Scared because it’s you, I can tell in everything I do
Haven’t risked losing what felt right for so long
It’s me—so do I belong?
Nothing had me wrapped quite like this
Lost in the sound of your smile
It’s been a while—now that part creeps back in
Floating away—it’s a dream born in parts I thought no longer lived

Bridge:
As the rain falls outside my window
All I hear is your words as this falls
Streaming memories down—created bliss
The parts inside, we build this chest

Verse 2:
Weaving some sort of map
Together—could this be our path?
With dots and dashed lines
It’s a treasure marked by you
Fingers trace an image, your voice
Finding love nowhere close

Outro:
Floating away—lost in your sound
It’s been a while since I felt found


Floating Away

🔻 Song Insight

“World Worn With Gray” is a nu-metal/rap-rock anthem that rips the mask off a society drowning in lies, fake smiles, and broken promises. The track blends stomping rap verses, chant-heavy choruses, and raw crowd call-backs, channeling frustration into a cinematic wall of sound. It’s both a release and a rebellion — a declaration that the world’s toxicity won’t be hidden anymore. The song’s energy is defiant, aggressive, but also unifying, inviting listeners to shout back against the chaos.

🔻 Lyrics

Intro
Sirens screamin’ — city bleedin’
C’mon! You feel that? (Yeah!)

Chorus
It’s a fucked world (what!) — everyone’s fake (yeah!)
Every smile’s just another mistake (c’mon!)
Done with fakin’ (uh!) — done with the scene (yeah!)
Rip the mask off — show what you mean (what!)

Verse 1
Fake grins (uh!) / dead stares (yeah!)
Smoke thick (what!) / don’t care
Headlines twist / truth dismissed
Fuck that noise / same old shit

Want the real? (what!) — it’s all disguise
No real love in a world of lies
What’s lost? (uh!) — what’s gained? (yeah!)
Ain’t no middle ground these days

Chorus
It’s a fucked world (what!) — everyone’s fake (yeah!)
Every smile’s just another mistake (c’mon!)
Done with fakin’ (uh!) — done with the scene (yeah!)
Rip the mask off — show what you mean (what!)

Verse 2
Secrets deep / money talks
Fake love walks / leaves scars
I don’t fold (no!) — I don’t break (nah!)
Heart stone cold — still awake

People rot (what!) — fade away (yeah!)
Roaches crawl at the break of day
Dreams get sold / truth on lease
Ain’t no savin’ — no release

Chorus
It’s a fucked world (what!) — everyone’s fake (yeah!)
Every smile’s just another mistake (c’mon!)
Done with fakin’ (uh!) — done with the scene (yeah!)
Rip the mask off — show what you mean (what!)

Bridge
Hope’s a drug (uh!) — another lie (yeah!)
Prayers don’t work when the real ones die (c’mon!)
Dreams on pause / bombs overhead
No fairy tale — just death instead

Breakdown
Cancel posts — hashtags bleed
Money talks while the broke can’t feed
N.D.A.’s — secrets sold
Fuck your system — truth gets cold

Chorus – Final
It’s a fucked world (say what!) — everyone’s fake (yeah!)
Every smile’s just another mistake (c’mon!)
Done with fakin’ (uh!) — done with the scene (yeah!)
Rip the mask off — show what you mean (what!)

Outro
Let the mask go (yeah!)
Let the mask go (c’mon!)
Show what you mean…

🔻 Personal Reflection

This song was born out of frustration — not just personal betrayal, but the bigger picture of living in a world that feels manufactured. Everywhere I looked, from relationships to headlines, the truth felt twisted or sold off. Writing World Worn With Gray was my way of pushing back, of creating something people could scream with when the weight of it all gets too heavy. It’s not about hopelessness — it’s about pulling off the mask and refusing to play along.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

4Me2BeFree has always been about turning raw, unfiltered emotion into cinematic music that cuts deep and resonates wide. With World Worn With Gray, the project leans hard into nu-metal roots, bringing chant-driven rap-rock energy to a new generation. It’s a track built for volume, for catharsis, and for community — a reminder that music can transform pain into defiance, and defiance into unity.

World Worn With Gray

🔻 Song Insight
“Why Do I Try?” is a raw alt-rock confession, stripped down to its bones in the style of Alice in Chains’ MTV Unplugged. It carries the weight of broken promises, wasted years, and the relentless echo of trying when there’s nothing left to salvage. The song builds its power around a chorus that refuses to let go, hammering down the realization that some lies are too heavy to carry. Both haunting and cathartic, it’s a track that stares directly into betrayal and pulls no punches.

🔻 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You knew who I was
And said you cared
Another fucked promise
Now it’s a stare

[Bridge]
Now you're looking for your goodbyes
Please, won’t you let this die
You're just another dead end guy
Why the hell did I try?

[Chorus]
You're nothing but a fucking lie
Standing alone, stolen insides
You forfeit your past mistakes
To placate a life of wasted days

[Verse 2]
No longer have a past
In windows I stare
Looking for a lost life
Pretending I don’t care

[Chorus – Repeat, Stronger]
You're nothing but a fucking lie
Standing alone, stolen insides
You forfeit your past mistakes
To placate a life of wasted days

[Chorus – Back-to-Back]
You're nothing but a fucking lie
Standing alone, stolen insides
You forfeit your past mistakes
To placate a life of wasted days

[Outro – Soft Refrain]
Why do I try?
Why do I try?
Why do I try?

🔻 Personal Reflection
This song came from staring straight into the reality of broken trust. It’s about that moment when the weight of promises and lies collides, leaving only anger and exhaustion. Writing “Why Do I Try?” was like pulling shrapnel out of my chest — messy, painful, and necessary. Every chorus line is a scar turned into sound, a reminder that sometimes survival comes from letting the anger breathe before it finally lets you go.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
At its core, 4Me2BeFree is about transforming lived pain into cinematic soundscapes that connect beyond words. “Why Do I Try?” fits into that vision as a defiant cry — it’s not polished to hide the wounds, but designed to share them openly. Each track we release is a piece of survival, a reminder that honesty in music can break through walls. By channeling both rage and reflection, 4Me2BeFree turns scars into anthems.

Why Do I Try - Fractures: Reimagined by 4ME2BEFREE

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.

POET The Band General Bio (June 2025)

Poet the Band is a modern act pushing the boundaries of what a fully independent band can achieve. Based in Bristol, TN/VA, with Detroit, MI, as a second home market, the band formed online two years ago and has since built an empire from the ground up.  

With two self-produced EPs, Death Era and The Prologue, they’ve collaborated with top-tier industry names like Ted Jensen (Bring Me the Horizon, Spiritbox, Kendrick Lamar), Cameron Mizell (Sleeping With Sirens, Memphis May Fire, MGK), and Dave Eggar (Coldplay, Evanescence, Avenged Sevenfold) to craft their sound. 

Their work ethic speaks for itself: three national tours, 11 self-directed music videos, and a fully in-house approach to production, booking, and marketing. They operate DIY—but at a major-label level, setting a new standard for what independent bands can achieve.  For fans of Bad Omens, Wage War, Bring Me The Horizon, and I Prevail, Poet the Band is a name to remember.
