Two‑lane highway, dust in the rain,
Voices whisper, saying it won’t change.
Packed a suitcase, left the key,
Something bigger calling me.
Small town rules, small town fate,
Clock keeps ticking, but it won’t wait.
Everybody knows how stories go,
Work the land, watch the seasons flow.
But I had a song, I had a fire,
Had a name set to climb higher.
Couldn’t fade, couldn’t let it die,
Had to see if the stars aligned.
It’s hard to find your way in a place brand new,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
Hard to trust what and who is true,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
Believe in yourself and what you do,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
I left behind dirt roads and the same old bars,
Chasing a horizon, chasing the stars.
They said “boy, you’re crazy, you’ll lose your way,”
But I knew my voice had something to say.
Every mile I drove was a test of will,
Every silence I faced taught me to be still.
I carried my roots, but I broke the chain,
Turned small town struggle into city rain.
City roads, endless sound,
Lost my way, but I won’t drown.
Lines get blurred, faces fade,
But dreams don’t break, they just evade.
Got a gig, got a shot,
Got a place that said I’m not.
But I stayed, kept the fight,
Took the stage and let it ignite.
It’s hard to find your way in a place brand new,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
Hard to trust what and who is true,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
Believe in yourself and what you do,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
I still hope time will teach me patience,
Have the willpower to hold, to wait.
Take the road in the right direction,
When it’s right, don’t I hesitate.
This dream in me burns forever,
No disaster can turn it to dust.
Dreams will always find me,
But dreams don’t happen if you don’t trust.
Crowd stands still, silence weighs,
Breath gets tight, pulse betrays.
Then the chords rise, echoes start,
And they finally hear the heart.
Some will doubt, some won’t see,
Some will never believe in me.
But I kept my ground, I held the proof,
Sang my story, sang the truth.
I’m not the man who stayed behind,
I’m the one who chased what he had to find.
You never know till you take that chance,
Life’s a gamble, but the song’s the dance.
It’s hard to find your way in a place brand new,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
Hard to trust what and who is true,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
Believe in yourself and what you do,
The only thing you know for sure is you.
Two‑lane highway, dust in the rain,
Voices whisper, saying it won’t change.
Packed a suitcase, left the key,
Something bigger calling me

For Sure WHY🎧 SPACE

"You know, you never really prepared me for this,
No little hints, no gentle touch or kiss.
I guess I was blind to all the small signs,
You left without a trace, erasing all the lines."
"I wake up in this quiet, where your laughter used to fill,
No note left behind, just an empty space to kill.
Every place feels haunted, like memories gone astray,
You didn't prepare me — but you stole my today."
"Yeah, I was hoping, thought I'd see it clear,
But your sudden absence left me stumbling here."
"You never gave a warning before you walked away,
No goodbye, no whispers, you just chose to stray.
You vanished in a moment, with no words to convey,
Left me dancing alone as memories replay."
"We used to wander where streetlights gleam,
Now I walk alone, like it was all a dream.
Your silence still echoes in the songs we shared,
You left me hanging — thought you cared."
"True, I felt shattered, but now I'm standing tall,
Your silence was loud, but I hear my own call."
"You never warned me that you'd be the end,
No goodbye, no hints you were more than a friend.
You left me with echoes, memories unbend,
Still dancing with ghosts, trying to mend."
"The dawn feels heavy, bed cold with no trace,
Your voice has faded, but echoes still chase.
No warning, no fight, you quietly went far,
Leaving behind what we truly are."
"I felt so fragile, but now I've learned,
Your leaving taught lessons, each corner turned."
"You never gave signs that our time had passed,
No goodbye, no moments as we ran last.
You left me to dance through the past,
But I find the strength that comes to last."
"Thought we were endless, our bond was so tight,
Yet silence crashed down with no end in sight.
No text, no call, just went away,
Like a shadow gone, leaving words unsaid today.
True, I stayed loyal, true, I was real,
The shock tore me apart, yet here I heal.
You left so swift, but you built my beat,
Now I'm dancing through pain, finding my own heat.
Respect the journey, respect the pain,
In heartbreak's shadow, I find my name.
You left without warning, left without plea,
But in the rhythm, lives the heart full of me."
"You thought you killed me with no goodbye, no word,
But in my music, my soul's still heard.
You thought you ended what was once so free,
Yet my voice rises, eternally."
so free,
so free,
so free,

Never Killed Me Before WHY🎧 SPACE

Came down from the mountain, dust on my shoes,
City lights burning, neon blues.
I was raw from the climb, heart still scarred,
But the streets were alive, every beat hit hard.
She was standing there, pretty in the glow,
Eyes like fire, made the whole world slow.
She said my name back, just that one time,
And I swear I felt love finally align.
It wasn’t the crowd, it wasn’t the sound,
It was the moment her voice spun me around.
Every scar I carried, every hill I’d climbed,
Felt like it led to this — love at last mine.
I’d follow her shadow, I’d follow her flame,
Through the city’s chaos, through the hunger and pain.
Didn’t care if it broke me, didn’t care if I fell,
I’d chase her forever, even straight into hell.
The dashboard clock reflects the past,
A journey through the memories amassed.
I trace the shadows of our former days,
When every detour was a playful maze.
The radio whispers tales we've known,
But the melodies we both outgrown.
I’m driving through the echoes of our laughter,
Wondering if I could've changed the chapter.
YOU-turn, I'm not contemplating,
YOU turn, back in an old direction.
YOU turn, am I doing right from where I left?
U-turn, on an old road (old road)… with old regrets.
Smell of rain on asphalt brings it back again,
The night your laughter turned into pain.
Of promises we swore by the harvest light,
Now every mile marker's a silent fight.
I see your face in every passing sign,
Questioning if the road we took was mine.
The headlights cut through darkness, but it’s clear,
Our love was just… a… souvenir.
YOU-turn, I'm not contemplating,
YOU turn, back in an old direction.
YOU turn, am I doing right from where I left?
U-turn, on an old road (old road)… with old regrets.
Our quiet space, the love I doubted.
That love's not lost, it's just been rerouted.
The map of my heart has new destinations,
But scars remain from endless frustrations.
The dawn breaks with a promise to renew,
I see the path where once I followed you.
Now I navigate with a newfound sight,
Where healing replaces the remnants of night.
I’m piecing back the fragments of my soul,
Finding in loss, a story to be told.
No longer bound by the story of our past,
I'm driving towards a dawn… I’m hauling ass.
YOU-turn, I'm not contemplating,
YOU turn, back in an old direction.
YOU turn, am I doing right from where I left?
U-turn, on an old road (old road)… with old regrets.
(U-turn… U-turn…)
The road unwinds, the horizon’s wide,
I’m not the same, baby how you lied.
(how you lied)
U-turn, on an old road again with old regrets…
But now, with every mile, I ride beyond our sunset…
Beyond our sunsets… beyond our sunsets…

You Turn WHY🎧 SPACE

Hush, (hush) hush…
The chandelier confessed to the tide with a velvet devotion,
While the mirror blinked twice and swallowed the notion.
Even the thunder wore pearls to disguise its emotion.
A teacup spilled secrets in a language of motion.
The sidewalk curled up like a ribbon in lotion,
The jukebox wept softly, tuned to a potion.
Lies don’t float, they bloom and bend,
Truth’s a wave that won’t defend.
Oaths dissolve where oceans end.
Every promise I whispered was stitched in a golden disguise,
Nothing I meant ever knew how to apologize.
Somewhere between the shimmer and the salt, the silence lies.
Anyone listening would think I was wise.
Everything breaks when the moon forgets to rise.
The lighthouse blinked Morse code in a language of spies,
While the seagulls debated the shape of the skies.
Even the anchor had secrets it tried to revise,
A compass spun circles with cinnamon sighs.
The tide pulled the truth through a thousand goodbyes.
The stars stitched a map made entirely of lies.
Lies don’t sink, they shimmer bright,
Truth gets lost in neon light.
Oaths dissolve in velvet night.
Every whisper I swallowed was dressed in a clever disguise.
The shoreline hummed softly in a voice full of tries,
While the moon wore a mask made of lullaby ties.
Even the wind had a pocket of sighs,
A bottle of ink spilled stars on the rise.
The waves wrote poems with invisible dyes.
The truth wore heels and told beautiful lies.
Lies don’t drown, they learn to float,
Truth forgets the words it wrote.
Oaths dissolve in every note.
Every glance I returned was a mirror in disguise.
The ocean forgave me with a grin full of tries,
The thunder applauded with invisible eyes.
The lighthouse blinked twice, then swallowed the skies.
The compass confessed with mechanical sighs.
The anchor let go with a whisper that flies.
The tide told a joke that nobody buys.
Hush… I hear the echoes in disguise,
Velvet voices hiding truth behind the eyes.
Every oath I swore got lost in the tide,
Every secret I kept was a mask I supplied.
But lies don’t drown, they float in the dark,
Truth gets twisted, neon sparks.
I’m chasing silence where the rhythm hides,
Between shimmer and hush, where the echo cries.
Respect in my tone, I don’t fake the scene,
I spit what I feel, keep the verses clean.
It’s a gift and a curse, this voice I own,
Every rhyme I drop is a stepping stone.
So hush… listen close, don’t deny,
The ocean forgives, but the stars still lie.
I rap for the moment, not the fame outside,
Every beat I breathe is the truth I confide.
The stars rearranged into question-mark pies,
The oath was a riddle, the answer: goodbyes.
Every secret I danced with was dressed in a clever disguise.
Nothing I sang ever needed replies.
Somewhere between the shimmer and hush, the echo tries.
Anyone watching would call it wise.
Everything ends when the ocean dries.
......Oath… ......ocean…... hush… ...disguise… ..lies… lies...lies…

Hush Disguise by WHY🎧 SPACE

Lyrics:
I hide when I cry
I go when I fight
I hide my emotions deep inside
So no one could ever search and find
What I can’t deny
The truth that I have tried
To find meaning in this life
But it’s just pointless deep inside
Because we’re all going to die
When it becomes our time
Death is your destiny
No matter how hard you try
It’s really pointless to lie
And say that it will all be alright
I’m really sick of lies
They eat away my state of mind
I think it’s too late to try
I’ve already wasted all of my time
So now I must die
I won’t sit and await
I will always face my fate
Even if it’s death in my way
I guess I’ll try and escape
But in time I will age
No matter if I’m alive
They will con- taking their lives
I don’t deserve to live life
So why haven’t I died
It’s not like I haven’t tried
But I must let it happen in time
Then I can fade from my mind
And forget all these times

Below The Surface

She’s told to shine with a body on display,
He’s told to smile like candy every day.
They dress the same, leather jackets, biker pose,
But behind the lights, the truth nobody knows.
It’s the test of the stage, not the sound of the heart,
They bend you, they brand you, they tear you apart.
Dance tricks bigger than the words you sing,
Selfies posted just to prove the thing.
Awards are fine, the money’s beyond,
But at what point did we lose the song?
Every mirror shows a mask,
Every contract hides the task.
They say it’s freedom, but it feels so wrong,
At what point did we lose the song?
K‑pop stars in a world so loud,
Dancing for owners, not for the crowd.
K‑pop stars with a truth they know,
Slaves to the system, not to the show.
So wrong… so wrong…
At what point did we lose the song?
She’s more than the image they force her to be,
He’s more than the sweetness they let us see.
But the industry writes the script they play,
And the soul of the music fades away.
Every strut, every pose, every choreographed smile,
It’s a prison dressed up in glitter and style.
They call it fame, but it feels like chains,
Corporate masters pulling the reins.
Hope someday the truth breaks through,
That K‑pop can be more than what they do.
The song was the reason, the song was the start,
Now it’s buried beneath the marketing chart.
But love of the music still beats inside,
A voice that refuses to be denied.
K‑pop stars in a world so loud,
Dancing for owners, not for the crowd.
K‑pop stars with a truth they know,
Slaves to the system, not to the show.
So wrong… so wrong…
At what point did we lose the song?
At what point… did we lose the song?
At what point… did we lose the song?
So wrong… so wrong…
But the song still waits… to carry us

Charlie Puth - Left And Right (feat. Jung Kook of BTS) (Dario Xavier Club Remix) *OUT NOW*

Allahs hiding something i don't know what it is
I know i need to find out
Release it to the public
Allahs in the mosque every day he dissapears
I know he ain't prayin' salah
I know it's something far greater

Eternal fire b-b-blazing (it's hot)
In this old place that has been left to rot
The mosque is deep dark what are you hiding
Might as well give up on your games no use  fighting
So many files (the pdf types there too)
Cum stains on the tiles (allah what have you been hiding ooh)
Diddy would be jealous of what you have done
He'd even be too scared to join in on all of the fun
Mysteries filled with abuse
Forgotten wives finding the clues
What is a lie allah what is the truth
(Come on now we'll figure out real soon)

The Allah Files
Justice for all of the wives
The Allah Files
All of the forgotten brides
If you say that you love me
Better show it get down on one knee
The Allah Files (ooooh aaah)

Colours are revealed in the dark (in the dark)
Through the looking glass i see your true heart
Black like charcoal
And rough like leather
Evil has plagued your soul
Allahs Files never get better
Dark and distant
you're dark and twisted
Her ass got fisted
Good is no more i see it

The Allah Files
Justice for all of the wives
The Allah Files
All of the forgotten brides
If you say that you love me
Better show it get down on one knee
The Allah Files (ooooh aaah)

Allah i'll reveal the files
Show how bad you are you're vile
Allah or should i call you diddy?
Forced every girl to pop a titty

The Allah Files
Justice for all of the wives
The Allah Files
All of the forgotten brides
If you say that you love me
Better show it get down on one knee
The Allah Files (ooooh aaah)

The Allah Files
The Allah Files
The Allah Files
The Allah Files

I love writing songs. I hope you listen too.

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.
