[Verse 1]
I'm not good enough for you —
you say it without words, just looks that bruise.
Plates crash like thunder through the room,
your voice a storm I can't undo.
The knives don't cut, but still I bleed,
in every shout, I lose a piece of me.

[Pre-Chorus]
Fear's in the air, I can't breathe in,
you throw your anger like it's skin.
I never meant to be your war,
but that's what I am — nothing more.

[Chorus]
I'm not good enough for you,
you argue and yell like it's all I do.
The silence after says much more —
I'm breaking down behind closed doors.
Maybe it's time we face the truth...
We're just too broken to make it through.

[Verse 2]
Your words, they twist into blame,
but the man you fight — he’s not my name.
You never saw the heart I hide,
you only see your wounded pride.
I cried last night, but you were gone,
chasing ghosts till the break of dawn.

[Pre-Chorus]
I hate this war, this bitter fight,
I hate who we become at night.
Can’t fix what keeps on tearing down —
maybe it’s time we stop this now.

[Chorus – repeat]
I'm not good enough for you,
you argue and yell like it's all I do.
The silence after says much more —
I'm breaking down behind closed doors.
Maybe it's time we face the truth...
We're just too broken to make it through.

(Solo)

[Bridge – soft, aching]
Let’s go our separate ways,
peace is better than what hate betrays.
You didn’t see me as I am,
and I can’t keep pretending again.

[Final Chorus – fragile, fading, cry]
I'm not good enough for you,
and maybe you're not for me too.
I’ll take the pieces, heal the cracks —
but I won’t come crawling back.
No more shouting in empty rooms...
Just silence now — and space to bloom.

I'm Not Good Enough for You

Text:
[Intro – Rap]
1945, the silence fell —
guns went down, bombs gave hell.
Nazis crushed, the war was done,
but peace? It barely had begun.
We swore: “Never again,” they said,
but blood kept pouring, oceans red.

[Verse 1 – Rap]
Korea burned in frozen mud,
Vietnam choked on jungle blood.
Deserts lit by oil and fire —
Gulf to Fallujah, funeral pyres.
One day ends, the next one bleeds,
they plant the flags, but not the seeds.
World peace is bad for business plans,
so we trade hope for gun-filled hands.

[Pre-Chorus – sing]
Every year, we light a flame,
but no one's asking why we play this game.
The dead don't march, but still they grow —
a list too long to ever know.

[Chorus – scream]
Eighty years, and still we fight!
No peace in day, just war at night!
Built on tanks, on fear, on pain —
we burn the truth to feed the flame!
Why can't we celebrate peace instead?
Just tombstones rising for the dead!

[Verse 2 – Rap]
You wanna talk “freedom,” “order,” “might”?
Then ask the kids who died last night.
We make new weapons, faster, clean —
a billion bucks to paint war green.
Africa cries, the East is torn,
while headlines feed us lies each morn’.
We teach the past, but never learn —
we watch the whole world crash and burn.

[Bridge – sing]
We thank the ones who stood and fought,
who broke the Reich, who gave all they got...
But they died for peace — not this parade
of bullets made in the debt we trade!
[scream]
We’re apes in suits, with blood-stained hands —
a tower built on shifting sands!
If peace arrived, the mask would fall —
our world’s not built for peace at all!

(Guitar-Solo)

[Final Chorus – sing]
Eighty years, and still no rest!
Just nations pounding on their chest!
[scream]
Can’t we stop the endless spin —
and let real human life begin?
Where’s the silence we were promised then?
Or do we start again and again… and again…?

[Outro – spoken, quiet]
80 years later.
We thank you… for the end of fascism.
But we’re still waiting…
for peace.

80 Years Later

Text:
[Verse 1]
Morning light on ancient stone,
the market hums, the children roam.
A quiet prayer, a simple day —
no one sees the sky turn gray.

Smoke curls high from sacred mount,
but no one dares to count the count.
The gods are watching, silent, still...
Then comes the roar, the crushing will.

[Pre-Chorus]
We ran through streets of fire and screams,
choked on ash, let go of dreams.
A father’s hand, a mother’s cry —
we only had one word: survive.

[Chorus]
Now we are ashes under stone,
frozen where the light had shone.
Our love remains in shapes of dust,
our final breath, betrayed by trust.
Pompeii fell in just one day —
and still the world just walks away.

[Verse 2]
I held you tight, your hand in mine,
your eyes still calm — “we’ll be just fine.”
But gods don't weep, and fate won’t bend,
the mountain speaks — it’s now the end.

The heat, it roared, the dark, it screamed,
the world went blind, the silence gleamed.
Our home became a grave so wide,
but still we clung — side by side.

[Bridge – emotional peak]
If you dig beneath the stone,
you’ll find a family, turned to bone.
But look again — we stayed as one,
as skies went black, we didn’t run.
We hoped, we fought, we held our breath —
but nothing outruns molten death.

[Chorus – repeat with added harmony]
Now we are ashes under stone,
frozen where the light had shone.
Our love remains in shapes of dust,
our final breath, betrayed by trust.
Pompeii fell in just one day —
and still the world just walks away.

[Outro – fading, soft]
So if you ever feel alone...
Remember us, beneath the stone.
Love endures through death’s disguise —
in Pompeii’s ruins, a soul still cries.

Ashes of Pompeii

Text:
[Verse]
There was an old man on the train
He was dressed like a young man
He said "I am a young man"
Then he showed me his arms

[Chorus]
He said "I got these when I was in Vietnam
I did a lot of things that I regret
I got a lot of scars you don't see"
I said "There's no such thing as evil"
And he said "There's no such thing as good"

[Verse]
There was a young girl on the plane
She was dressed like an old girl
She said "I am an old girl"
Then she showed me her teeth

[Chorus]
She said "I got these when I was in Moscow
I did a lot of things that I regret
I got a lot of scars you don't see"
I said "There's no such thing as evil"
And she said "There's no such thing as good"

(Solo)

[Bridge]
So I wrote a song for you
And you liked it

[Verse]
There was a young girl on the train
She was dressed like an old girl
She said "I am an old girl"
Then she showed me her arms

Good and Evil

[Verse 1]
He sits on a throne made of slogans and lies,
tweets the apocalypse with dollar-sign eyes.
Flags wave high while minds sink low,
science is silenced — welcome to the show.

Another madman sends tanks to the field,
screams “liberty” while the innocent yield.
Flesh for flags, pride for pain —
history limps in a loop again.

[Pre-Chorus]
They call it truth — we call it spin.
They say “believe,” but they box you in.
Scroll, swipe, obey, repeat —
a thousand followers and still defeat.

[Chorus scream]
Welcome to the Age of the Fool —
where ignorance is the new rule.
We selfie while the world burns down,
dancing in our digital crown.
But I won't kneel, I won’t give in —
wisdom fights where silence has been.

[Verse 2]
Influencers crowned with empty fame,
paid by clicks, not thought or name.
Plastic thoughts, synthetic trends,
truth unfollows and logic bends.

“Patriot” means “you must hate,”
as if love stops at a border gate.
And climate’s just a hoax, they say,
as oceans rise and forests pay.

[Bridge – spoken or half-sung]
Heroes aren’t the loudest in the room.
They don’t scream lies to hide the truth.
Heroes build, unite, repair —
they dare to care when none else dare.

[Breakdown – shout/scream]
This is not okay!
This is not fine!
The blind lead the blind — we’re out of time!
Dumb is not divine, hate is not pride,
and ignorance won’t save your hide!

(Guitar-Solo)

[Final Chorus – full power, scream]
This is the Age of the Fool —
but we won’t play by their rules.
We read, we rise, we understand,
we fight with heart and open hand.
So raise your voice, don’t dim your light —
the dumb may shout, but we will fight!

[Outro – slow, melodic]
In the noise, be the calm.
In the dark, be the dawn.
In a world where smart feels small —
be the reason truth stands tall.

The Age of the Fool

Text:
[Verse 1]
A shadow falls across the land,
the ticking clock, a heavy hand.
We build our walls, we burn the trees,
choking on progress, gasping for peace.

Behind the curtains of the digital glow,
a million faces, none we know.
We drift like satellites in endless night,
seeking the sun, but fearing the light.

[Chorus]
And the echoes of tomorrow call,
through empty streets and crumbling halls.
A voice inside whispers slow,
"You can't escape what you don't know."

[Instrumental Interlude – atmospheric, ethereal guitar and synths]

(Guitar-Solo)

[Verse 2]
A man stands still on a crowded train,
lost in thought, but bound by chains.
The faces around him all look the same,
dreams confined by another's name.

The leaders speak in tongues of gold,
promising futures they’ll never hold.
But the oceans rise, the mountains sigh,
truth is a mirror, and we’re passing by.

[Bridge – soft, spoken]
Do you hear the whispers beneath the ground?
The footsteps of history’s ghostly sound.
They told us to run, they told us to hide,
but the storm was always inside.

[Chorus – more powerful, layered vocals]
And the echoes of tomorrow cry,
"Why do we live just to die?"
A fragile world we’ve built on sand,
can’t withstand the weight of man.

[Extended Instrumental – blending themes of loss and defiance, transitions from soft to climactic]

(Guitar-Solo)

[Verse 3]
The stars above are ancient scars,
a testament to who we are.
We reached for them with trembling hands,
but left our hearts on broken lands.

What if the answer lies within?
What if we break, just to begin?
A fragile thread, a fleeting chance,
to rewrite the steps of this weary dance.

[Chorus – triumphant, with echoes of hope]
And the echoes of tomorrow sing,
"There’s still time to change everything."
A world reborn, a chance to feel,
to break the chains and turn the wheel.

[Outro – hypnotic, looping refrain]
Do you hear the echoes?
(softly) "Do you hear the echoes?"
Do you feel the echoes?
(fading) "Do you feel the echoes?"
(whisper) "...of tomorrow..."

Echoes of Tomorrow

Text:
[Verse 1]
In silent halls where equations dance,
She chased the force that holds the stars.
Beyond the bounds of Newton's glance,
She sought the truth in cosmic scars.

[Chorus]
Gravity, your whisper calls,
Through black holes and cosmic halls.
Massive dreams in spacetime's thread,
Echoes of the paths we tread.

[Verse 2]
From Einstein's realm to depths unknown,
She dared to question, to explore.
In massive gravity, seeds are sown,
Unlocking secrets at the core.

[Bridge]
Through failures, trials, and the night,
Her vision burned, a guiding light.
The universe, in silent plea,
Revealed its hidden tapestry.

(Solo)

[Chorus]
Gravity, your whisper calls,
Through black holes and cosmic halls.
Massive dreams in spacetime's thread,
Echoes of the paths we tread.

[Outro]
Now she stands where few have been,
Unveiling truths once locked within.
Gravity's whisper, soft and deep,
Sings the songs the stars now keep.

Gravity's Whisper

Text:
[Verse 1]
In a world of flashing screens and swipes,
We chase attention, lose the vibes.
But when you ask what moves my soul,
You light a spark, you make me whole.

[Chorus]
Curious eyes, they see what's real,
Not just the looks, but what I feel.
Ask me why I dream at night,
And suddenly, the stars feel right.

[Verse 2]
You're not just talking to be heard,
You lean in close to every word.
In your questions, there's a flame,
That turns a stranger into a name.

[Chorus]
Curious eyes, they see what's real,
Not just the looks, but what I feel.
Ask me why I dream at night,
And suddenly, the stars feel right.

[Bridge]
It's not the charm or fancy lines,
It’s in the way your interest shines.
A simple "How are you, for real?"
Can open hearts that time can't steal.

(solo)

[Chorus]
Curious eyes, they see what's real,
Not just the looks, but what I feel.
Ask me why I dream at night,
And suddenly, the stars feel right.

[Outro]
So open up, be bold, be true,
Let curiosity guide you through.
‘Cause when you care, and when you see,
That’s when love begins to be.

Curious Eyes

Text:
[Verse 1: The World Today]
The rivers run slower, the lakes run dry,
The forests burn under an ashen sky.
They drill for profit, ignoring the cost,
Counting their riches, while futures are lost.

The glaciers weep, the oceans rise,
Yet they peddle their greed, spinning their lies.
"It’s not our fault," they shout and defend,
But how do they sleep as the world starts to end?

[Chorus]
Don’t saw the branch, the one we’re on,
When it’s gone, it’s gone—it won’t grow back, it’s done.
All the gold in the world won’t heal the pain,
Change your ways, or we’re circling the drain.
How many signs do you need to see?
This path is ruin—it’s no mystery.

[Verse 2: 20-25 Years Ahead]
The crops won’t grow in the poisoned soil,
The air is thick with carbon’s toil.
Cities swallowed by a hungry tide,
Millions displaced, with nowhere to hide.

Heatwaves scorch where the seasons twist,
Animals vanish from the extinction list.
The deserts march where green once grew,
And still, they’ll ask, "What could we do?"

[Chorus]
Don’t saw the branch, the one we’re on,
When it’s gone, it’s gone—it won’t grow back, it’s done.
All the gold in the world won’t heal the pain,
Change your ways, or we’re circling the drain.
How many signs do you need to see?
This path is ruin—it’s no mystery.

[Verse 3: What We Can Do]
Stop chasing profit, start planting seeds,
Listen to the Earth and her desperate needs.
Wind and sun can light the way,
But we must act—it starts today.

Hold leaders accountable, make them pay,
No more excuses, no more delay.
Education, innovation, unite the fight,
For our only home, for what’s still right.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Chorus]
Don’t saw the branch, the one we’re on,
When it’s gone, it’s gone—it won’t grow back, it’s done.
All the gold in the world won’t heal the pain,
Change your ways, or we’re circling the drain.
How many signs do you need to see?
This path is ruin—it’s no mystery.

[Bridge]
The corporations profit, the politicians spin,
But nature won’t care for their deadly sins.
The clock is ticking, we’re running out of time,
The future’s ours to save—or it’s the crime.

[Outro: A Plea for Change]
Don’t saw the branch where your children rest,
Make the future better, give them your best.
There’s still a chance, but we must unite,
To turn the darkness back into light.

Don’t Saw the Branch

Text:
[Verse 1]
She danced in the glow of a borrowed light,
Living on crumbs from the edge of the night.
Famous by name, not by her own,
A shadow beside a man on a throne.

Flashes and whispers, a life on display,
But no one stayed when she slipped away.
A smile that hid what no one could fix,
Drowning alone in a glass full of tricks.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Verse 2]
Rooms full of people, but no real friend,
Living a tale that had no end.
They called her wild, they called her weak,
But never asked what truth she’d speak.

Used and framed, just Z-list gold,
Her pain sold cheap, her soul turned cold.
A girl with dreams the world erased,
A bottle for comfort, a ghost to chase.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Bridge]
There’s a cost to the camera’s cruel caress,
And she paid it all in loneliness.
Not a villain, not a saint—just lost,
In a world that trades truth for gloss.

[Outro]
So rest, forgotten girl of the light,
You fought your demons every night.
They took your voice, they took your name,
But you were more than sorrow and shame.
