The Mermaid in the Ocean

Text:
[Verse]
Flat Earthers in Arizona
Are trying to leave the country
No one knows where they’re going
I guess I don’t want to know

[Verse 2]
And my friend’s so scared of lizards
That he won’t turn on the TV
And he won’t let me come over
In case they’ve got to me

[Chorus]
All the conspiracy theorists are
Coming out of the woodwork
To talk to me
I’m the light in the dark of their basement
I’m their best friend
They trust me

(Solo)

[Verse 3]
My ex-girlfriend tried to tell me
That her brother was an alien
So I asked her if I could meet him
She said he’d abducted her friends

[Verse 4]
And she tried to warn me about it
So I told her I was a vampire
Then she said I was joking
And I told her I’d gotten over it

(Solo)

[Chorus]
All the conspiracy theorists are
Coming out of the woodwork
To talk to me
I’m the light in the dark of their basement
I’m their best friend
They trust me

Conspiracy Theorists

[Verse]
This is a song about a girl that I hate
She ain't no ordinary girl that I hate
She be laughing in my face with the boys she can take
Oh
She's such a girl that I hate

[Verse]
She got me blocked on all of my socials
She made it known to all of my friends
That she never liked me
It was all pretend
She's the girl that I hate

[Chorus]
I'm out of her league
But she got all my friends in the palm of her hand
I'm starting to believe
She's an alien from a faraway land
But I'm not the one that you should listen to
You should listen to me
I promise you it's true

(solo)

[Verse]
She got an evil look in her eye
She's in disguise
She's trying to hide
But I know that she's a devil inside
She's the girl that I hate

[Verse]
This is a song about a girl that I hate
She ain't no ordinary girl that I hate
She be laughing in my face with the boys she can take
Oh
She's such a girl that I hate

(solo)

[Chorus]
I'm out of her league
But she got all my friends in the palm of her hand
I'm starting to believe
She's an alien from a faraway land
But I'm not the one that you should listen to
You should listen to me
I promise you it's true

A Girl That I Hate

Text:
[Verse 1 – Spoken/Rapped with grit]
He paints his face in orange lies,
Grins wide while the planet dies.
Gold-plated rage, bought and sold,
He sells your soul for power and gold.

Pay the fee, take the ride,
Shake the hand, let honor slide.
A traitor in a tailored suit,
Selling fear in a flag-wrapped boot.

[Pre-Chorus – shouted, rising intensity]
You call that leadership?
It’s a con with a crown!
You worship greed while the whole thing burns down!

[Chorus – explosive, riff-heavy]
Buy the beast a throne!
Build it out of broken bones!
Silence screams in marbled halls –
While justice drowns behind the walls!

Buy the beast a throne!
With blood and lies you call your own!
Truth got cuffed, and hope got sold –
But we ain't bowin' to your fool's gold!

[Verse 2 – furious rhythm, escalating]
Million-dollar dinners for the death parade,
VIP passes to the fascist charade.
Shake the devil’s hand for a photo op,
While kids in cages beg you to stop.

Law is blind, and justice sleeps,
The coward king digs trenches deep.
Your flag’s on fire, your oath’s a joke –
And we can’t breathe through all this smoke.

[Breakdown – slow and brutal]
Truth is not a product.
Peace is not a brand.
You don’t deserve the power
You stole with bloodstained hands.

[Final Chorus – screamed, distorted chaos]
Buy the beast a throne!
Out of ashes, out of stone!
Let the people rise and break the chain –
You can’t gaslight away the pain!

Buy the beast a throne!
But remember, you’re alone!
When the reckoning comes, when the truth explodes –
We’ll be the ones who never fold!

[Outro – fading into distortion]
You bought your throne…
But your empire’s built on bones.

Buy the Beast a Throne

Text:
[Verse 1]
I see her in a smoke
A purple haze around
There is nothing that you could do
To bring me down
I feel my heart explode
It's only her I know
She has the magic in her eyes
And then she goes

[Chorus]
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes

(Guitar-Solo)

[Verse 2]
She takes me to the sky
I'm hangin' by a thread
She does not take a step
She flies instead
She gives me back my mind
And takes it in a way
I never thought that I would find
The light of day

[Chorus]
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes

[Verse 3]
The colors in my mind
Are visions of her face
I see her in a dream
I'm wide awake
I am amazed by all
The beauty that she shows
She's everything I want
And then she goes

(Guitar-Solo)

[Chorus]
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes
Kaleidoscope eyes

Kaleidoscope Eyes

Text:
[Verse 1]
Hey
When you get to it
I'm too over it
I'm too far gone

[Verse 2]
And if you don't quit it
Then we'll both miss it
It's a good day for bad thoughts

[Chorus]
I'm okay now
At least for now
I still hear you call my name
But I'm not comin' home

(Solo)

[Verse 3]
Well
At least I got one good year
To put in the rear
It all ends the same

[Verse 4]
I thought we'd try it
But it got violent
We can't stay the same

(solo)

[Chorus]
I'm okay now
At least for now
I still hear you call my name
But I'm not comin' home

Good Day for Bad Thoughts

Text:
[Verse 1]
Sun’s beatin’ down like it’s got a grudge,
Sidewalks steamin', nowhere to budge.
Taxi horns scream like a gospel choir,
Air so thick, feels like fire.

Sweat on my neck, shirt stickin’ tight,
Old man cursin’ at the traffic light.
Neon flickers in the midday glare,
A thousand souls just gaspin' air.

[Chorus]
It’s a hot day in the big city,
No shade, no breeze, no pity.
Just a slow burn, on concrete dreams,
Where nothing’s ever quite what it seems.
A hot day in the big city,
Everyone's angry, lookin' gritty.
But under all that heat and grime,
You still feel that urban rhyme.

(Solo)

[Verse 2]
Corner boy’s hustlin' iced lemonade,
Street preacher shoutin' like a live grenade.
Subway's a sauna, breathin’ fumes,
But the beat still bumps through the heat and gloom.

Lady in heels, lips cherry red,
Walks like the sun don’t mess with her head.
Skaters glide past, no time to stop,
City don’t sleep and it sure don’t drop.

[Chorus – repeat with more energy]
It’s a hot day in the big city,
No mercy, no shame, no pretty.
Just rhythm, rage, and neon blues,
Another day in worn-out shoes.

[Bridge – spoken or slow sung]
Fan blowin’ dust through a broken screen,
Dreams run dry where the grass ain't green.
But there's fire in the rhythm, spark in the pain,
And every heartbeat hums a subway train.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Final Chorus – big, gospel-like backing]
Yeah, it’s a hot day in the big city,
Where sweat and soul mix gritty.
But even when the world feels wrong,
This city still sings its summer song.

[Outro – faded funk rhythm]
Hot day, city breathes,
Stories drift on steamin' streets.
Hot day, city lives,
And through the fire, the heartbeat gives...

A Hot Day in the Big City

Text:
[Verse 1]
They say the end is always near,
Another war, another fear.
But we’ve walked through darker nights,
And still we stand, we still fight.

Empires fall and tyrants fade,
We rise again, unafraid.
Through every storm, we found our way,
We’re still here – today.

[Chorus]
We carry the light, through shadow and flame,
We stumble and cry, but we rise just the same.
Through silence and noise, through heartache and fight,
We don’t give up – we carry the light.

(Instrumental-Part)

[Verse 2]
We’ve seen the worst in humankind,
Yet found the best we didn’t mind.
There’s fire in the young and wise,
New voices lifting up the skies.

We build, we break, we learn, we try,
We shoot for stars in a weary sky.
It’s not perfect, never was,
But hope survives – because...

[Chorus – repeat, with stronger backing vocals]
We carry the light, through shadow and flame,
We stumble and cry, but we rise just the same.
Through silence and noise, through heartache and fight,
We don’t give up – we carry the light.

[Bridge – spoken or sung soft, then building]
From the ashes of old empires,
From the rubble of bad decisions,
We grew gardens. We sang again.
And we will again.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Final Chorus – with choir or layered harmonies]
We carry the light, through shadow and flame,
We stumble and cry, but we rise just the same.
We’re the spark in the night, the dawn breaking bright,
We are the future – we carry the light.

[Outro – calm, hopeful]
And when they say we’re doomed to fall,
We’ll rise again, and prove them all.
We carry the light.
We always will.

We Carry the Light
