Written by Brett Patrick Gibson & Drew Breton (Rap Verse)

Lyrics:

woke up reaching through the haze
the devil dancing where hope once laid
the mirrors cracked but I still see
a glimpse of what's dying to break free...

me and an angel in the ashes

rising through the flames
even with the devil dragging me
I won't break... I won’t be tamed

it's me and an angel...  in the ashes...

i stitched my soul with thorns and thread
tried to silence what's in my head
buried in deep, beyond every fight
then a whisper said., "you are the light"

me and an angel in the ashes

rising through the flames
even with the devil dragging me
I won't break... I won’t be tamed

it's me and an angel...  in the ashes...

been wrestling with my spirit
every night’s another trial
devil dancing in the corner 
with his crooked little smile
angel standing by my side
says don’t let him take you down
but I’m choking on the silence
while the flames keep burning round
saw a halo in the embers

thought this one is meant for me
But the fire whispered secrets 
'bout the man I couldn’t be
Every scar became my scripture 
every wound another hymn
Every prayer I tried to mutter 
felt like ashes burnin' my skin
The angel whispers softly 
says you’re stronger than you know
While the devil pulls my chains 
tryna drag me down below

So I’m gripping to the ashes 
with my eyes against the night
If the fire wants my soul 
then I’m Jacob for this fight

me and an angel in the ashes

rising through the flames
even with the devil dragging me
I won't break... I won’t be tamed

it's me and an angel...  in the ashes...

(it's me and an angel...)
"in the ashes..."

in the ashes (remastered)

LYRICS:

[verse]
I saw it in reflections of a midnight dream
felt like something pulling me that I can't see
an ocean wrapping round this lightning, crashing
promises of forever, where did they go?

[pre-chorus]
(you know... )  I'd trade my heart for another
on a shelf of dreams...  (my love is forever...)

[chorus]
All I ever wanted was a little more time
A little more love.... to say it was mine
All I ever needed was a place I could grow...
the stars kept falling.... (Oh… you knoww....)
A little more love.... when will I find what's mine?
All I ever wanted was a little more time

[verse]
thought she could be my comfort in a music box
ticking like time... it mystifies, nothings locked down
we call it love.... when we think we already know
what's behind it all, when you've lost all control

[pre-chorus]
(but. you know...)  I'll trade my heart for another
on a shelf of dreams...  (my love is forever...)
(still...)

[chorus]
All I ever wanted was a little more time
A little more love.... to say it was mine
All I ever needed was a place I could grow...
the stars kept falling.... (Oh… you knoww....)
A little more love.... when will I find what's mine?
All I ever wanted was a little more time

[chorus]
All I ever wanted was a little more time
A little more love.... to say it was mine
All I ever needed was a place I could grow...
the stars kept falling.... (Oh… you knoww....)
A little more love.... you know I'll find what's mine...
All I ever wanted was a little more time

all i ever wanted

in there it's a world where you're judged by what you say and think not by what you look like 
a world where curiosity and Imagination equals power

Mouthful is straight raw — nothing polished, nothing held back. The lyrics go all in on graphic detail, wild nights, and the type of energy that pushes the line on purpose. Every verse hits like a story you’re not supposed to tell out loud, and the hook bangs like a street chant — loud, blunt, and unapologetic.

Mouthful

“Phantom In The Pen” by D Flo (313’s Best Kept Secret) is a soulful, reflective track told from the perspective of a ghostwriter. Instead of centering on fame or the spotlight, the song highlights the unseen creative work that powers music behind the scenes — the writing, ideas, and artistry that often go uncredited. With smooth R&B and soul influences, it blends heartfelt delivery with thoughtful lyricism, exploring themes of dedication, invisibility, and pride in one’s craft even when recognition doesn’t follow. The result is a song that feels both personal and universal, resonating with anyone who has ever contributed silently to something greater.



Phantom In The Pen

"melodia starej wydeptanej ścieżki" to utwór niedokończony, urokliwy, pochłaniający, traktuje jak zapętloną tantrę.  To utwór tak tajemniczy, że nie ma początku, nie ma końca. Nie jest również bliżej określony, bez określenia. 

Podobno kiedyś ktoś znał tą starą ścieżkę, daje o sobie znać w ludzkiej pamięci. 
Melodia pozwala uwolnić wenę twórczą na kartce papieru, dusza zawarta w utworze prowadzi nadsterowną komunikację Twojego brain i synchronizuje z Twoim pen.

Przedstawiam Wam

"melodia starej wydeptanej ścieżki"

This track is perfect for an artist in the indie folk, Americana, or singer-songwriter space, reminiscent of artists like Bon Iver, Hozier, or Gregory Alan Isakov. The song features introspective lyrics, a haunting melody, and a melancholic acoustic arrangement, making it ideal for film, television, or an artist's next EP.

[Lyrics]

(Verse 1)
The river hums in tones so low
Secrets buried where we can't go
A shadow dances on the shore
What it's chasing, I'm not sure

(Chorus)
Do you hear the whisper of the pines?
Calling truths we never find
Soft and quiet, yet it binds
The echo lingers, undefined

(Verse 2)
The moon hangs crooked in the sky
Its silver threads knot where dreams lie
A path unfolds in broken light
Leading nowhere, still it feels right

(Verse 3)
The wind, it sighs, it knows my name
But I'm a stranger just the same

(Chorus)
Do you hear the whisper of the pines?
Calling truths we never find
Soft and quiet, yet it binds
The echo lingers, undefined

(Bridge)
Time unravels, slow and thin
A thread of moments, where to begin?
I reach for meaning, it slips away
A fleeting dawn, a dimming day

LYRICS

[verse]
yeah…
I been chasing my calm, tryna breathe right
the key is to learn early in life "light attracts light"
every time... I find my peace, shit just feels right... 
(but...) it seem to fade quick, into the night

[chorus]
it can all take a toll
between highs and lows...
when the world hits back
"gotta let it go"... 

just "enough to be whole"
cause i "ain’t chasing gold" 
for the peace in my soul
"gotta let it go"....

"ain’t chasing gold" 

[rap]
some days I’m on
some days I’m ghost
Tryna keep the faith
when I need it the most
(they say)
pressure be makin' diamonds
but I just play my role
when peace is the goal
just to be whole
(so i...) i know 
I gotta let it go
let it roll... (oh..)
let the pain breathe
never lose control (no mo'...)
every loss is another lesson
I ain't wasting those
(no... no...)

[chorus]
it can all take a toll
between highs and lows...
when the world hits back
"gotta let it go"... 

just "enough to be whole"
cause i "ain’t chasing gold" 
for the peace in my soul
"gotta let it go"....

"ain’t chasing gold" 

[bridge]
for all the good
and the bad
that comes
you cant control

you gotta let it go....

[final chorus]
it can all take a toll
between highs and lows...
when the world hits back
"gotta let it go"... 

just "enough to be whole"
cause i "ain’t chasing gold" 
for the peace in my soul
"gotta let it go"....

"ain’t chasing gold" 

yeah… 
find my peace… 
stay in control… 

sometimes...

you gotta let it go

aint chasin gold

Taking it back 
Look in my soul
"Reflect"
Making it Crack 
But that's my foe
"Eject"
Looking to the  back 
To see what I'll get
Gotta "inspect" 


Facing the devil 
Trying for heaven
Pacing at levels
"I'm so Sentimental"
Traveling at 77
from the skies
Falling from heaven
Just... another... lucky 7
Make another wish
for that star To fall... "on you"... 
only to choose
something "you'd never do"...
better jump ship
before it all gets loose...


Taking it back 
Look in my soul
"Reflect"
Making it Crack 
But that's my foe
"Eject"
Looking to the  back 
To see what I'll get....
Gotta "inspect"


Facing the devil 
Trying for heaven
Pacing at levels
You're so Sentimental 
Traveling at 77
from the skies
Falling from heaven
Just... another... lucky 7
Dressed to kill
better "go slow"...
Over "what you know"
And "what they don't"...
Dark as it is
the light can show...


It's a risk just to breathe
When your soul ain't your own...


Taking it back 
Look in my soul
"Reflect"
Making it Crack 
But that's my foe
"Eject"
Looking to the  back 
To see what I'll get....
Gotta "inspect"

gotta come correct....

inspect

Lyrics:

sunbeams through clouds above me
breathing slow, so I can see
let it unwind, evergreen leaving signs
talking like they readin my mind
ain’t no stage, no lights, no show
Making way through a world so cold...

finding peace, in simple scenes
sunlight through "Evergreens"

feel the wind, I'm such a feign
roots, dirt, me and everything between...

let the love shine in
from above, the "Evergreens"

grew up chasin’ that city glow
hustlin’ fast to feel it slow
thought this was peace i owned
to find it was only on loan
to be caught in a dream
or in between everything
I thought it could be
left with a whispers stream
wishing for a scream
of what the future holds for me
a country soul stuck in a concrete seam
ripping away what's been holding me
up to the light, so I can see
a way to keep faith in the dream...
(in me) and this scene sets me free...

find peace in simple scenes
sunlight through "Evergreens"...

feel the wind, I'm such a feign
roots, dirt, me and everything between...

let the love shine in
From above, the "Evergreens"

letting the world spin, I’ll take my time
ain’t losin’ my breath just to fall in line...

late dusk, light surrounding
in a mason jar the fire glows
barefoot steps to be grounded
where the wild things grow
peace ain’t found, it’s made
in the cracks of each day 
where the noise decay fades
and the roots within are raised

find peace in simple scenes
sunlight through "Evergreens"

feel the wind, I'm such a feign
roots, dirt, me and everything between

let the love shine in
From above, the "Evergreens"

e v e r g r e e n

I close my eyes to breathe it in (ya...)
Seeing it all before it begins
Feeling each hair stand on my skin (goosebumps....)
Letting it flow through every limb
If i can see it, it will exist... (that's right...)
Everything i got... 
comes from within...
(like butterflies...)

I been bending timelines
shiftin’ my reflection
Feelin’ the design
before changing direction
moving around intentions
For the universe to listen
It's more than just wishing
It's expanding my wisdom
planting my peace
Watering faith to watch it rise
Manifesting sunlight 
every day to better my life
Every words a spark
every doubt a delay
So I talk like I already made it today
they say you get what you give
but it’s deeper than that
You get what you live
For the mirror reacts
I align, not chase, 
and abundance attracts


I close my eyes to breathe it in (ya...)
Seeing it all before it begins
Feeling each hair stand on my skin (goosebumps....)
Letting it flow through every limb
If i can see it, it will exist... (that's right...)
Everything i got... 
comes from within...
(like butterflies...)

tuned in to the feelin’...
vibes like a tremor

before stacking paper....
before the measure

goal ain’t the treasure....
it’s about believin’ with pressure

[male rap verse]
I visualize the climb
no fear in my height
Keep my focus aligned
can’t dim my light
Turnin’ lessons to fuel
that’s my inner device
Pressure made the jewel
I don’t roll no dice
Every setback a sign
not a reason to quit
It’s the test of the mind
see how strong you get
I manifest motion
emotion, precision
Turnin’ pure thought
into real-life vision

I close my eyes to breathe it in (ya...)
Seeing it all before it begins
Feeling each hair stand on my skin (goosebumps....)
Letting it flow through every limb
If i can see it, it will exist... (that's right...)
Everything i got... 
comes from within...
(like butterflies...)

Every shift starts in silence
Everything so quiet...

mountains move from the belief
and the thought is the seed...

You… are the soil to make it all be...


butterflies

as we float on dust through galaxies
these patterns echo
softly behind fallacies
about knowing the unknown
mirrors in time with no sound

repeating what gods allow
different symbols raised
so they can reign
even when every path points back
to where we came

for whats "Above, and below"
a fiery glow 
of whats "Above, and below"
Where will we go?

for whats "Above, and below"
a fiery glow 
of whats "Above, and below"
Where have we gone?

Sorenya…  Alta veritas…
Lumina…   Eterna voce…

[Higher truth… eternal light… 
the voice everlasting…”]

We came from constellations
coded invitations
Ancient navigation 
in the bones of every nation
Call it revelation
call it meditation
Same creation story 
with a different translation

Every faith relates 
the state of being chosen
Cosmic architects 
with memories frozen
If the truth is woven
through the tales we speak
Then the differences 
are surfaces
not depth or technique

We are wanderers
travelers, settlers of light
Aliens to the planet 
but familiar to the night
And the fight over 
"whose God is right”
Is wild ’cause 
the message always said
Live good. Do right...

for whats "Above, and below"
a fiery glow 
of whats "Above, and below"
Where will we go?

for whats "Above, and below"
a fiery glow 
of whats "Above, and below"
Where have we gone?

Sorenya…
Alta veritas…
Lumina…
Eterna voce…

above and below

THIS IS ANOTHER VERSION OF A CRAZY SONG IVE DROPPED BEFORE. I LOVE HOW THIS CAME OUT- LUX

HOLD THE LEASH

[Spoken Word]
I used to think dreams were destinations
Distant coordinates I was chasing... it
was making me crazy
for mere fragments of transformation
a problem with no solution
holding the secrets to life's revelations
embedded in choices I was making
to hide behind whatever i was wasting 
like a utility to run, from these vulnerabilities
taken, from every outcome, every moment
existing at once, to own it
Or to be owned within it, in each second
until you decide, "who You will be"...
As I have been flickering between 
versions of myself
the doubter, the drifter
the almost-made-it
But the day I committed
Is when I was able to change it
now.... They say particles get entangled
across impossible distances
and "I feel that", like
Every step I took toward "my dream"
brought a part of what "I seen back"
and y'all know I needed "to feel that", for the universe to move its pieces
When i moved mine...
Symmetry, or destiny
This was by design

[Chorus]
If I can see it, i can see it
start to take form
From the quiet inside
To the eye of this storm
Every moment I breathe
for every thought set to light
Turns the "dream to a flame"
brings the "light to the night"
If I can see it, i can see it...
(and then i can be it...)

[Rap]
I been bending timelines
walking through the static
Future on my mind, 
my past, a mirror shattered
pieces of glass, memories scattered
looking back, every path overlappin’
Till I made a choice 
and the universe reacted
it wasn't how loud my voice got
but how many chills brought it on....
to make these probabilities shift
the clouds begin to lift
letting it shine
to match what I felt inside
Focus on the goal
watch reality comply
I don’t chase fate
I align, then I attract
the future... ain’t so distant
when turning thoughts into facts

[Chorus]
If I can see it, i can see it
start to take form
From the quiet inside
To the eye of this storm
Every moment I breathe
for every thought set to light
Turns the "dream to a flame"
brings the "light to the night"
If I can see it, i can see it...
(and then i can be it...)

[Bridge]
Steppin’ through the veil 
with a vision in command
to control where I stand
Turning a myth into something that matters
with the palm of my hand
don't need to pray for a sign
when I become what I seek
since seeing is believing
when you feel it beneath...
now i can see it
right in front of me

[Chorus]
If I can see it, i can see it
start to take form
From the quiet inside
To the eye of this storm
Every moment I breathe
for every thought set to light
Turns the "dream to a flame"
brings the "light to the night"
If I can see it, i can see it...
I can see it, i can see it...

i can see it (the finale)

I fell in love with music at an early age. I was fascinated by writing and eventually transitioned to rapping. I was always told I was ahead of my time with certain things, and with that said I started producing music. Even though I was reared in the Hip-Hop era, I enjoy making ambient, downtempo, and acid jazz music. I still find myself writing songs and poetry, but the MUSIC is what gets me going! I don't limit myself when it comes to imagination or sound, I enjoy pushing the boundaries of creativity. R&B House/Techno Acid Jazz Hip-Hop Down Tempo....are some of my favorites!

ATTENTION BANDS: I want to write and create demos for you! Everything is for sale - or - we can work together and release music as a collaboration. I am open to ALL paths to success. 


NŪABYSS: /New-Abyss/


follow me @nuabyss on all social media.

If you come across a track 'without vocals', I produced it. 

If you come across a track 'with vocals', I still produced it, then wrote to it, and then and only then do I take MY music and MY lyrics and run it through Suno AI. This allows me, a long-time songwriter/producer, to create demos. I tag "demo" in most of the songs I post here.  This is because I want to sell these to bands/artists and work with them until the song is complete.

The "Origin: Unknown" and "mama (dream)" albums were made this way, with lyrics I had written to beats I produced over 15 years. I did not want to publish music this way, but being 48 years old, I decided to take the risk in hopes to gain attention/exposure so I can write songs this way, using Suno AI to perfect them - but with the intention of helping another band/artist record the song themselves. 

IMPORTANT: I can recreate every single piece of music on this page for any artists looking to collaborate. 

It's not that I am lazy or untalented, yet quite the opposite. I have learned over the years how important it is to stay ahead in music technology and how to use every single tool available to me to eliminate restrictions in my creative process.

The only song you will hear my voice on is "Last Hope."

Again... I've been writing poetry and song lyrics my entire life.  Reach out to your favorite artists. Tell them you found their next hit song. 

LFG. 

Just give me the tool.
