Verse 1:
All she did, she gave me one look
That was all, That’s all that it took
I captured her smile, bright and free
In her eyes, there was no place for me

Pre-chorus:
I miss your eyes, can’t live with that
long your scent, no more going back

Chorus:
Hell, hell’s where the heart is
If not for you, you’re all I had
Hell, hell’s where the heart is
If not for this, I can’t go back

Well, there’s not much to it
If I crave you enough, to say
Hell, hell’s where the heart is
If not for you, you’re all I had

Refrain:
Hell’s where the heart is

Verse 2:
All she was, she was a girl so frail
Do all I can, prevent a coffin’s nail
I captured her smile, bright and free
In her eyes, there was no place for me

Pre-chorus:
I miss your eyes, can’t live with that
long your scent, no more going back

Chorus:
Hell, hell’s where the heart is
If not for you, you’re all I had
Hell, hell’s where the heart is
If not for this, I can’t go back

Well, there’s not much to it
If I crave you enough, to say
Hell, hell’s where the heart is
If not for you, you’re all I had

Bridge:
Do what I can to make you mine (you are mine)
Kill off every one to make an attempt (You are mine)
Shadows creeping, a night so fine (you are mine)
Devil’s whisper, silence’s chaos crept (YOU ARE MINE)

Chorus:
Hell, hell’s where the heart is (hell is where the heart is)
If not for you, you’re all I had (you’re all I have)
Hell, hell’s where the heart is (hell is where the heart is)
If not for this, I can’t go back

Well, there’s not much to it
If I crave you enough, to say
Hell, hell’s where the heart is (hell is where the heart is)
If not for you, you’re all I had

Refrain:
Hell’s where the heart is
Hell’s where the heart is
Hell’s where the heart is
Hell’s where the heart is

LZX - Hell Is Where The Heart Is

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Have you ever thought out about killing?
I have, it didn’t end well for me
Feigning ignorance, acting like a mime
But the thrill, the rush, it's so sublime

Pre-chorus:
I do it for the sake of the rush
You will do nothing just hush, hush, hush

Chorus:
Killing is a crime, but I do it anyway
Adrenaline hits, can't contain in any way
For the joy, the thrill, my mind is sane
No remorse for the lives I take
Killing is a crime, but I do it anyway
Adrenaline hits, can't contain in any way 

Refrain:
In any way

Verse 2:
Have you ever thought out about pulling a knife?
Plunge it deep, and take another life?
I have, it didn't end well for me
But the blood is what I lived to see

Pre-chorus:
I do it for the sake of the rush
You will do nothing just hush, hush, hush

Chorus:
Killing is a crime, but I do it anyway
Adrenaline hits, can't contain in any way
For the joy, the thrill, my mind is sane
No remorse for the lives I take
Killing is a crime, but I do it anyway
Adrenaline hits, can't contain in any way

Refrain:
In any way

Bridge:
The sight of rushing blood, such a bliss 
As my blade sends a soul, into the abyss
The rush, the thrill, it set me free 
Killing is a crime, but not for me 

Chorus:
Killing is a crime, but I do it anyway 
Adrenaline hits, can't contain in any way
For the joy, the thrill, my mind is sane
No remorse for the lives I take
Killing is a crime, but I do it anyway
Adrenaline hits, can't contain in any way 

Refrain:
In any way
In any way
I cannot contain this
In any way (any way)

LZX - Killing Is A Crime, But Not For Me

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Glass in hand, I drown my sorrows,
Chasing dreams in borrowed tomorrows.
In an echo, the smoke drifts slow,
Rolling clouds in the twilight glow.

Pre-chorus:
Now I've grasped what was lost in the night,
I’m bound to these chains, there’s no end in sight.

Chorus:
Take my vices and place them on a wall
Compare them to my virtues, tell me would they fall?
Speak to me, cautiously, with what I once lacked
Then change me till there's no going back

Refrain:
No turning back, it’s all entwined,
It’s a fight with shadows that cloud my mind.

Verse 2:
The haze in my chest, a haunting refrain,
To the spirits I sip to drown out the pain.
In reflections, it's hard to see what remains,
But I stand here alone, caught in the rain.

Pre-chorus:
Now I've grasped what was lost in the night,
I’m bound to these chains, there’s no end in sight.

Chorus:
Take my vices and place them on a wall
Compare them to my virtues, tell me would they fall?
Speak to me, cautiously, with what I once lacked
Then change me till there's no going back

Bridge:
The bottle swallows down the grief,
The smoke wraps around, providing relief.
Learn from the lessons of my dark climb,
Vices and virtues fracture your mind.

Pre-chorus:
Now I've grasped what was lost in the night,
I’m bound to these chains, there’s no end in sight.

Chorus:
Take my vices and place them on a wall
Compare them to my virtues, tell me would they fall?
Speak to me, cautiously, with what I once lacked
Then change me till there's no going back

Take my vices and place them on a wall
Compare them to my virtues, tell me would they fall?
Speak to me, cautiously, with what I once lacked
Then change me till there's no going back

Refrain:
Vices and virtues will haunt your mind,
Vices and virtues will twist and wind.
They reshape you from what you believe,
Pushing you closer to what you will grieve.

LZX - Vices & Virtues

[Verse 1]
I swear, baby, it’s all in your head,
You keep seeing ghosts in the sheets of our bed.
The lipstick you found? Oh, that’s old news,
A shade you forgot that you used.

I never meant to raise suspicion,
You twist my words into premonitions.
Yeah, you keep reading between my lines,
Like you’re searching for sins in my alibis.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know, you taste the doubt,
But I kiss your lips just to drown it out.
You're breaking, you're shaking, but babe, don't scream,
If you shut your eyes, it’s just a dream.

[Chorus]
I’ll rewrite the truth, make you second-guess,
Turn your pain into a game of chess.
Every tear you cry is a card I play,
And I move the board when you look away.

It’s all smoke and mirrors, baby, don’t you see?
You don’t love me, you love the idea of me.
So hold on tight to the web I weave,
If you knew the truth, you’d never leave.

[Verse 2]
You say you caught me in candlelight sins,
But love, it was just the way the light bends.
That perfume that lingers like haunting proof?
Maybe you wore it, and just forgot the truth.

I never meant to make you question,
But let’s be real, do you want confession?
The knife in your back fits my grip too well,
But darling, you'd rather live under my spell.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know, you taste the doubt,
But I kiss your lips just to drown it out.
You're breaking, you're shaking, but babe, don't scream,
If you shut your eyes, it’s just a dream.

[Chorus]
I’ll rewrite the truth, make you second-guess,
Turn your pain into a game of chess.
Every tear you cry is a card I play,
And I move the board when you look away.

It’s all smoke and mirrors, baby, don’t you see?
You don’t love me, you love the idea of me.
So hold on tight to the web I weave,
If you knew the truth, you’d never leave.

[Bridge] 
You say I’m a liar, I say you’re insane!
You’re burning alive in the fire I made!

But don't let the embers lead you astray,
Just close your eyes, and I’ll make it fade...

[Chorus]
I’ll rewrite the truth, make you second-guess,
Turn your pain into a game of chess.
Every tear you cry is a card I play,
And I move the board when you look away.

It’s all smoke and mirrors, baby, don’t you see?
You don’t love me, you love the idea of me.
So hold on tight to the web I weave,
If you knew the truth, you’d never leave.

[Outro]
Now I’m the echo inside your mind,
A voice whispering, “You were blind.”
You saw the cracks, but you stayed the same,
And I’ll twist the knife while you scream my name.

LZX - Once Unfaithful, Always Redeeming

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Step right up, take your seat,
Watch the show, yeah, watch me bleed.
Painted smiles, a hollow sound,
But I won’t dance—I won’t bow down.

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the strings you try to pull,
The way you twist, the way you rule.
But I’m not some puppet on display,
I’m breaking out, I won’t obey!

[Chorus]
I’m not your clown, not your fool,
Not a joke to play by your rules.
I tore the mask, I burned it down,
No more tricks—I’m leaving town!

[Verse 2]
I’ve been your act, I’ve played my part,
Made you laugh while I fell apart.
But I won’t live behind the paint,
A walking ghost inside restraints.

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the cage, the painted walls,
The way you cheer while I take falls.
But every show must reach its end,
And I won’t play pretend again!

[Chorus]
I’m not your clown, not your fool,
Not a joke to play by your rules.
I tore the mask, I burned it down,
No more tricks—I’m leaving town!

[Bridge] (Screamed vocals optional)
I set the fire to the ring,
No more cages, spread my wings!
Let the curtains fall—let the circus die,
I won’t be your pantomime!

[Chorus]
I’m not your clown, not your fool,
Not a joke to play by your rules.
I tore the mask, I burned it down,
No more tricks—I’m leaving town!
I’m not your clown, not your fool,
Not a joke to play by your rules.
I tore the mask, I burned it down,
No more tricks—I’m leaving town!

[Refrain]
Step right up, the show’s now done,
But I’m not here—I’m long gone.
Take your seats, laugh one last time,
I was never yours to define.

[Chorus]
I’m not your clown, not your fool,
Not a joke to play by your rules.
I tore the mask, I burned it down,
No more tricks—I’m leaving town!
I’m not your clown—I’m leaving town!

[Outro]
Step right up, the show’s now done,
But I’m not here—I’m long gone.
Take your seats, laugh one last

LZX - Clown

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I taste the venom on your lips, a bittersweet goodbye
Your words cut deeper than the glass pressed to my side
I watch your shadow fade into the neon glow
Left with nothing but the echo of a love I used to know

Pre-Chorus:
So pour me another, let it burn my throat
Drown out the memories, let my heart erode
Every sip is a prayer, every shot is a sin
But I’d rather be wasted than feel you again

Chorus:
So drown me in the dark, let the whiskey pull me under
Turn my veins into a grave, let the bottles be my thunder
I don’t wanna feel, I don’t wanna dream
I just wanna sink into the black, unseen

Verse 2:
Cheap perfume still lingers, ghosts dance in my brain
This barstool feels like a coffin, drowning in my shame
I see your face in every bottle, your voice in every song
But the more I drink, the less you're gone

Pre-Chorus:
So pour me another, let it burn my throat
Drown out the memories, let my heart erode
Every sip is a prayer, every shot is a sin
But I’d rather be wasted than feel you again

Chorus:
So drown me in the dark, let the whiskey pull me under
Turn my veins into a grave, let the bottles be my thunder
I don’t wanna feel, I don’t wanna dream
I just wanna sink into the black, unseen

Verse 3:
I built this pain into a kingdom of glass
And I’ll smash it all just to forget our past
The night is a noose, and I'm hanging on tight
But I'll let go before the morning light

Bridge:
DROWN ME! DROWN ME! DROWN ME IN THE DARK!
Let the liquor carve your name into my heart
DROWN ME! DROWN ME! DROWN ME IN THE DARK!
'Til I'm nothing but a shadow falling apart

Refrain:
One more sip… one more night…
One more dream that I set alight…
One more lie… one last fight…
Just let me fade into the black and white…

LZX - Drown Me In The Dark

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Step by step, through candlelight
A toast to trust—such a bitter lie

[Verse 1]
You called me "friend," led me down the stone
Laughter echoing off the bones
Promised gold in liquid form
But all I found was a crypt so cold

[Refrain]
Is this what mercy looks like?
A glass raised high, but my hands are tied
Promised gold in liquid form
But all I found was a crypt so cold

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this what mercy looks like?
A glass raised high, but my hands are tied

[Chorus]
Buried beneath, I scream but no one listens
Your kindness was the key to my prison
Bricked in shadows, drowning in trust
The taste of revenge still turns to dust

[Verse 2]
Every word was laced with charm
But the walls still rise, brick by brick
Was it love, was it hate?
Or just the game of a hypocrite?

[Breakdown]
I TOAST TO YOU—THE GRAVE YOU DUG FOR ME!
IRONY WRAPPED IN A MERCY SO SWEET!

[Bridge]
A promise spoken, a fate unbroken
Echoes in the dark, I am the omen

[Chorus]
Buried beneath, I scream but no one listens
Your kindness was the key to my prison
Bricked in shadows, drowning in trust
The taste of revenge still turns to dust

[Refrain]
Still turns to dust

Step by step, through candlelight…
A toast to trust—such a bitter lie

LZX - Casque Of Amontillado (8 Of Swords)

Lyrics:

[Intro]
The ink is dry… but the blood still writes
The final breath... now etched in night

[Verse 1]
Every line we dared to speak
Was carved in stone, was drowned in bleak
From mournful verse to manic prose
The quill became the blade we chose

I heard the pit, I felt the swing
They silenced pain, but not the sting

[Pre-Chorus]
They read the ghosts, but missed the grief
Confessions bound in blackened leaf

[Chorus]
Write my requiem in phantom red
For every word the silence bled
You sold my pain and wore my chains
Then danced inside my ink-stained veins
Let the parchment burn, let memory choke—
My legacy is not a joke

[Verse 2]
You clipped my wings with dotted lines
Then called it art, then called it mine
But I still haunt the books you praise
In footnotes buried under praise

I etched my soul in every page
Now watch it rise like gothic rage

[Pre-Chorus]
You turned my truth to twisted lore
But now I bleed through every floor

[Chorus]
Write my requiem in phantom red
For every word the silence bled
You sold my pain and wore my chains
Then danced inside my ink-stained veins
Let the parchment burn, let memory choke—
My legacy is not a joke

[Bridge]
(ahh-ahh) Don’t bury me with printed lies! (Scriptorum...)
(ahh-ahh) I’m still alive where silence dies! (Mortem...)
(ahh-ahh) You struck me down and fed the flame— (Sed Verbum...)
(ahh-ahh) But now the flame rebrands my name! (vivit-...)
(The writer dies... but the word still lives...)

[Chorus]
Write my requiem in phantom red
Not as a corpse, but what I said
My verses broke the cages built
On pulp and pride and bottled guilt
Let every scream from paper tear
Remind them all... I’m still there

[Outro]
The ink has dried… the name erased…
But truth remains… in every trace

LZX - Prologue (My Requiem)

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Fingers trace the pulse of ghosts...
She was never mine, just borrowed light
And Lenore sings through sleepless nights

[Verse 1]
Half a year chasing silhouettes
A paper heart I can't forget
Watched you fall into his arms
I smiled through the disarm
Congratulated sin in dress shoes
Then I stitched myself with someone new

She cried from a hollow chest
I kissed the cracks she never confessed
We weren’t love, just broken art
Two shattered souls trying to restart

[Pre-Chorus]
And we whispered lies like lullabies
Built a castle out of alibis

[Chorus]
Lenore was just a metaphor
For love we lost, for hearts we tore
We bled in sync but never swore
To stay — we knew what this was for
Two ghosts beneath a ceiling cracked
We held each other, never looked back

[Verse 2]
We danced on glass in quiet rooms
Pretending we could dodge the doom
Laughed in beds that never dreamed
Loved like actors in a scream

It felt like peace, it felt like fate
But even truth will rot and break
She faded with the winter's breath
Back to a name she never left

[Pre-Chorus]
And we whispered lies like lullabies
Lit candles in a house of sighs

[Chorus]
Lenore was just a metaphor
For love we lost, for hearts we tore
We bled in sync but never swore
To stay — we knew what this was for
Two ghosts beneath a ceiling cracked
We held each other, never looked back

[Bridge]
You came back as she left me
Said he changed, became too heavy
But darling, don’t you know?
I’m just a shadow that let you go
And Lenore still sleeps inside my head
A name I never should have read
This isn’t closure — this is rot
This is the echo of what we’re not
We never loved, we just forgot
What it feels like to feel — or not

[Chorus]
Lenore was just a metaphor
For pain we wrapped in metaphor
We kissed goodbye before the door
Ever asked what we were hoping for
Two ghosts that found each other’s end
We weren’t lovers, we were just pretend

[Outro]
Rest ye now, Lenore...
For love was never yours
Nor mine...
Just an echo in 6/8 time

LZX - Lenore (Was Just A Metaphor)

Lyrics:

[Intro]
It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee
But the winds, they howled with jealousy
Just like your friends now whisper of me

[Verse 1]
You said his voice was starting to sound like chains
Every text, every call, an echo of pain
You came to me with shadows in your eyes
Said, “He doesn’t hear me, no matter how loud I cry”
He loved himself more than he ever loved you
Used your heart like it was bulletproof

[Pre-Chorus]
But I saw you
Not the cracks, not the damage, just truth
I wasn’t reaching to fix you
Just to stand beside you

[Chorus]
This love ain't borrowed, it bleeds in real time
I’ll be the calm in your thunder, the rhythm in rhyme
No need to be the ghost of someone else’s grief
I’ll give you stars, not shattered belief
We’ll rewrite your story like Annabel Lee
Only this time, love won’t drown in the sea

[Verse 2]
You flinched at kindness, like it came with a cost
Trained by heartbreak to count every loss
But I didn’t want you just to fill a void
I wanted to lift you, not to destroy
Every word I gave, I meant it slow
No pressure, no deadlines, just letting love grow

[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "He’s poison," they don't know me
They’re trapped in stories, we broke the key
But I never asked for you to choose
Just for a chance to be your truth

[Chorus]
This love ain't borrowed, it bleeds in real time
I’ll be the calm in your thunder, the rhythm in rhyme
No need to be the ghost of someone else’s grief
I’ll give you stars, not shattered belief
We’ll rewrite your story like Annabel Lee
Only this time, love won’t drown in the sea

[Bridge]
They said we’d burn in the fallout
Said I was a shadow you should cut out
But we held hands in the firelight
And you whispered “yes” in the middle of the fight
Even if the world won’t understand
You chose to hold my hand

[Chorus]
This love ain’t borrowed, it screams in full light
I’m the fire in your winter, your rebel in white
No longer a ghost tied to old disbelief
You’re the proof that healing isn’t a thief
We wrote our own ending, like Annabel Lee
But this time, love rose from the sea

[Outro]
It was many and many a year ago
But now we’re free from the undertow
And if the angels try to part you from me
I’ll still find you, my Annabel Lee
