Nice stuff here mate love the arrangement

Beneath the Night crashes through shadows with gritty riffs and smoky melodies, fusing Bay Area street poetry with cinematic rock ambiance. It’s a twilight anthem—where hip-hop storytelling collides with distorted emotion and atmospheric soundscapes. Haunting, resilient, and unapologetically real.

🎤 For listeners who live in the tension between pain and power, light and loud—this one’s for you.

------------------------

Beggar in the night  
Shadows come alive  
Break down the walls now  
The beast will survive  

You can't tame it  
Won't bow down and kneel  
Wipe away that mask  

Open up your eyes  
See through the disguise  

Wake up from the nightmare  
Break these chains you wear  
The beast inside is calling  
But you don't have to care  
Stand up from the wreckage  
Find the truth you've lost  
Break free from the darkness  
No matter what it costs  

Push the world away  
As it turns its back  
You chose a lie  
Lost inside the trap  

They sold you reflections  
Built on broken trust  
This pain is all too real  

Open up your eyes  
See through the disguise  

Wake up from the nightmare  
Break these chains you wear  
The beast inside is calling  
But you don't have to care  
Stand up from the wreckage  
Find the truth you've lost  
Break free from the darkness  
No matter what it costs  

The mirror's cracking slowly  
Watch the false self die  
No more empty promises  
No more living lies  

Wake up from the nightmare  
Break these chains you wear  
The beast inside is calling  
But you don't have to fear  
Rise up from the ashes  
Find the truth you've lost  
Break free from the darkness  
You're worth any cost  

Break free from the darkness  
You're worth any cost

Beast Inside

"Hearts in Crossfire" is a dark and emotional post-punk anthem that explores the breakdown of a once-passionate relationship turned into a battlefield of silence, pride, and unspoken pain. Set against a bleak but atmospheric backdrop, the lyrics portray two lovers caught in emotional warfare—each armored, each wounded, neither willing to surrender. The song moves through moments of cold reflection, bitter accusation, and aching nostalgia, with vivid metaphors like broken guitars, shattered mirrors, and poisoned beds. Musically, it pairs melancholic melodies with driving rhythms and icy synth textures, building from restrained verses to explosive choruses. The spoken bridge adds a raw, intimate touch before the final reprise leads into a haunting instrumental fadeout. It’s a story of love lost not in a moment, but in a drawn-out war neither side could win.



Hearts in Crossfire

(Verse 1)
You slide in like static on the radio
Midnight perfume, dressed in vertigo
Eyes like crime scenes, lips a cigarette
I lit your fuse, but I’m the one who’s wrecked

(Pre-Chorus)
You said, “Love’s a game,” and I’m a bad sport
Always chasing hearts I can’t afford

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Verse 2)
We danced like secrets on the fire escape
Your laugh was louder than my big mistakes
I should’ve known from the start,
You play guitars like you play hearts

(Pre-Chorus)
Said “Don’t get close,” but pulled me in tight
I lost my head in your blacklight

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Bridge)
And now your ghost is in my speakers
Singing lies in perfect pitch
I tried to quit you cold,
But you're the needle and the itch

(Final Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
I’d light you up all over again
Even if it burns, I’ll take the flame
You're the bruise that feels like fame
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Love like yours should be restricted

Pandemic

To whom 
am I enslaved?
What obligation
Do I pay?
The destruction
This wrought
Through thinking
I just bought.
The reinforcement
Of a struggle.
What is really
Being muddled?
How do I choose
Between strength
Or to loose?

Give it away
To keep it.
To digest
What has been
Seeping in.
Consecration
Of the battle
Becoming a place
To which it
Wallowed.
To walk in
The valley of death
The only thing
I take is
My breath
And the memory 
Of what to 
Expect.

To see all the people
I have left.
Fulfilling my heart.
Embracing my soul
To every conversation
I imagine and behold.
Filling my consciousness
With joy
From a world
In which it was sown.
Give it away
To keep it.
To digest
What has been
Seeping in.
Consecration
Of the battle
Becoming a place
To which it
Wallowed.
To walk in
The valley of death
The only thing
I take is
My breath
And the memory 
Of what to 
Expect.


Turning fire
And brimstone
To milk and honey
As the world waits.
Abundance of joy.
Smiles of faith.
This is the world
We create.
Give it away
To keep it.
Is how.
Living in a world 
We are to beseech it.
Understanding.
The way we teach it.
The path we live
Is where we reach it.
The cycle 
Of our thinking
Experiencing
The ability to rise
As we are sinking.
The fruition
Of my being.
I am here
