Why...Why... by Spumoni

baby, 
I saw your name light up in grayscale tone
Right there between my coffee and my phone
You typed “yo”—I blinked, then hit postpone
Now I’m pacing rooms I used to own
I’m not tryna beg, but I’m losing grip
Every buzz feels like a fingertip
You vanish fast, then you reappear
Still I check my screen like hope lives here
Text text me baby, baby baby please
Just test me baby, I’m down on my knees
I’m not crazy, just caught in the tease
So text me baby, (baby)  baby pleeease 
baby, (baby)  baby
Your last post hit like a sideways glance
Caption said “chill,” but it felt like chance
I liked, I paused, then I missed the dance
Now I’m stuck in scrolls that feel like trance
I’m not tryna chase, but I’m caught in spin
Every dot-dot-dot feels like a win
You read, you wait, then you fade again
Still I whisper “maybe” now and then
Text text me baby, baby baby please
Just test me baby, I’m down on my knees
I’m not crazy, just caught in the tease
So text me baby, (baby) baby pleeease
Maybe I’m just digits in your cloud
But I swear this silence feels too loud
If you tap back once, I’ll write it proud
A song we’ll scream above the crowd
Text text me baby, baby baby please
Just test me baby, I’m down on my knees
I’m not crazy, just caught in the tease
So text me baby, (baby) baby pleeease
baby, (baby)  baby, ...(baby)  ...baby......pleeease.....pleeease

Text Me Baby by  American K-Pop Boys

Illusions in the mirror, I trace what isn’t mine
A thousand faces flicker, lost between the lines
I wore a hundred costumes, I danced in borrowed shoes
But every time you near me, I forget what I can’t lose
I disappear, I disappear
No more shadows, no more fear
I disappear, I disappear
And something new begins to clear
To unlock what love does
To unlock what love does
I become more than I was
To unlock what love does
My history’s a puzzle, scattered on the floor
You never asked for answers, just opened up the door
I stepped into the silence, where truth begins to sing
And found my voice inside it, not just echoes in the wings
I disappear, I disappear
No more hiding, no more fear
I disappear, I disappear
And suddenly it’s crystal clear
To unlock what love does
To unlock what love does
I become more than I was
To unlock what love does
I was a mime in motion, a magician with no spell
A mask upon a mirror, a secret I couldn’t tell
But you saw through the silence, through the smoke and through the show
And gave me back the pieces I forgot I used to know
To unlock what love does
To unlock what love does
I become more than I was
To unlock what love does
I disappear, I disappear
No more hiding, no more fear
I disappear, I disappear
And suddenly it’s crystal clear
To unlock what love does
To unlock what love does
I become more than I was
To unlock what love does
I was a mime in motion, a magician with no spell
A mask upon a mirror, a secret I couldn’t tell
But you saw through the silence, through the smoke and through the show
And gave me back the pieces I forgot I used to know
To unlock what love does
To unlock what love does
I become more than I was
To unlock what love does
o unlock what love does
To unlock what love does
I become more than I was
To unlock what love does
what love does
what ..love .....does...

G-String by Hot Cookie♨️ 🍪

She saw it once, behind her eyes
A world that bloomed beneath the skies
She dreamed a place with silver trees
Where rivers sang in minor keys
The moon wore lace, the stars stood still
And time bent softly to her will
She walked on clouds that knew her name
The wind was warm, the wolves were tame
She didn’t ask, she didn’t cry
She just believed, and learned to fly
But morning came with concrete shoes
And grown-up rules she didn’t choose
She learned to smile through silent screams
And buried pieces of her dreams
The world was sharp, the world was loud
She lost herself inside the crowd
She wore her strength like second skin
But never let the light back in
Believe, believe, (believe)
Even when the world won’t leave
Even when the night won’t end
Even when you break again
Believe, (believe), believe
Even when you’re not received
Even when the mirror lies
Even when the fire dies
She packed her heart and left the noise
Traded pain for quiet joys
She walked through woods that whispered low
And found herself in undertow
She met her fear and let it speak
She kissed the scars upon her cheek
She didn’t run, she didn’t hide
She let the dark become her guide
She said, “That dream was never lost
It’s just a seed beneath the frost
I thought I’d find it in the sky
But now I know it lives inside”
She built it slow, she built it true
With every tear she ever knew
She didn’t chase it anymore
She grew it from her inner core
Now she walks with open hands
Through shifting light and changing lands
She doesn’t beg, she doesn’t plead
She is the dream, she is the need
She sings in storms, she stands in flame
She writes her truth without a name
She doesn’t ask the world to see
She just believes relentlessly
Believe, believe, (believe)
Even when the world won’t leave
Even when the night won’t end
Even when you break again
Believe, (believe), believe
Even when you’re not received
Even when the mirror lies
Even when the fire dies
She saw it once, behind her eyes
And now she lives where dreams arise
Believe, (believe), believe
Even when you’re not received
Even when the mirror lies
Even when the fire dies
Believe, (believe), believe
Believe, (believe), believe
Believe, (believe), believe

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
