Verses 1
If you have three wishes, tell me what you’d choose,
Would you heal the heartbreak, fix the broken truth?
Would you chase the sunrise, write your name in flames,
Or bring back the moments that will never be the same?

Pre-Chorus
The clock keeps turning, but the night feels long,
Every wish is a verse in a restless song.

Chorus
If you have three wishes, don't let them fade,
Dream out loud, don't be afraid.
The world is waiting, the stars still shine,
Your three wishes could rewrite time.

(solo)

Verses 2
Would you wish for silence in a war-torn land,
Or the strength to hold someone's shaking hand?
Would you wish for freedom, for a chance to fly,
Or a single answer to the question: why?

Pre-Chorus
Every soul is burning with a hidden prayer,
Three little sparks could change that air.

Chorus
If you have three wishes, don't let them fade,
Dream out loud, don't be afraid.
The world is waiting, the stars still shine,
Your three wishes could rewrite time.

bridge
One for the love you never lost,
One for the dreams worth any cost.
One for the fire that never dies,
Carried forever in your eyes.

(solo)

Chorus (repeat, bigger)
If you have three wishes, don't let them fade,
Dream out loud, don't be afraid.
The world is waiting, the stars still shine,
Your three wishes could rewrite time.

Outro (speak)
You hand me three wishes — I ain’t takin’ gold,
I’m askin’ for a world where hearts don’t go cold.
Health on the table, clean water in the cup,
Minds sharpened gentle so the hate gives up.
Science with a conscience, pushing us ahead,
Not for power, but to lift the living and heal the dead.

Overboard (feat. Luria)

you ruined me but it was fun

Eleanore’s Lullaby

I wrote I Tried in August 2023. This song is about grief and depression winning. Made a few versions of this song. This one is with a guitar solo

I Tried

My dear crescent moon 🌙

[Verse 1]
After I’ve been gazing deep within,
I see the pain I caused, the hurt I’ve been in.
Every word I spoke, every choice I made,
Left you shattered, left your heart afraid.

I see the nights you cried alone,
I hear the silence when you turned from home.
I know I’m the one who let it all fall apart,
Now I’m just a man with a heavy heart.

[Verse 2]
I’ve been running from the shadow of my mistakes,
Counting all the bridges I watched me break.
I know I can’t undo what’s already done,
But I’m standing here, hoping for one.

One last chance to show you the change,
To take the pieces, rebuild the frame.
The man you loved still lives inside,
And I’m trying to bring him back to life.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve faced the man I never wanted to be,
I’ve seen the pain I caused in you and me.
If there’s even a whisper of love left to find,
I’ll prove I’m worthy, I’ll leave the past behind.

[Chorus]
I just wish I had one last chance,
To show you I’ve changed, to earn your glance.
I’ll be better than the last me, I swear,
Every heartbeat, every breath, I’ll care.
If forgiveness lives, if love still can,
Save me the chance to be the man I am.

[Verse 3]
I see the light in you I let slip away,
The warmth I destroyed, the words I didn’t say.
I’ve been haunted by the love I betrayed,
Now I’m learning to stand, no longer afraid.

Every tear you shed, every broken night,
Taught me how to love, how to do it right.
I can’t take it back, I can’t erase,
But I can fight for your heart, fight for your grace.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll carry every lesson, every scar I earned,
I’ve faced the pain, I’ve truly learned.
If your heart still has a place to let me in,
I’ll prove I’m better than I’ve ever been.

[Chorus]
I just wish I had one last chance,
To show you I’ve changed, to earn your glance.
I’ll be better than the last me, I swear,
Every heartbeat, every breath, I’ll care.
If forgiveness lives, if love still can,
Save me the chance to be the man I am.

[Bridge]
I know I let you down, I know I caused the pain,
I’ve carried it with me through the storm and rain.
But I’ve looked inside, faced every fear,
I’m learning to love, learning to be here.

If your heart can see the truth in me,
I’ll fight for us, endlessly.
Every broken piece has shaped the man you see,
And I’m ready now to finally be free.

[Verse 4]
I don’t expect you to forget the past,
Or pretend the hurt didn’t last.
But if you see the man I’ve come to be,
You’ll find the love I’ve finally set free.

I’ll take it slow, I’ll be patient, I’ll try,
To earn the trust I once let die.
If there’s a spark left in your heart to ignite,
I’ll be the man who stands by your side.

[Final Chorus]
I just wish I had one last chance,
To show you I’ve changed, to earn your glance.
I’ll be better than the last me, I swear,
Every heartbeat, every breath, I’ll care.
If forgiveness lives, if love still can,
Save me the chance to be the man I am.

[Outro]
After I’ve been gazing within my soul,
I see the better man I’m meant to show.
If there’s a place for us to start anew,
Save me the chance… to be with you.

One Last Chance to Be Better

Does He? - Ruby Darkrose

not your homie

a song about one sided love, the after life of love where you dream of a time it could've been better than when it was in reality.

Spotify

Daydreaming

A fractured manifesto set to hard rock, machine pulse, and cinematic dread.

Coterie of Cretins is a broadcast from the fault line where humanity and technology intersect — not in harmony, but in discomfort, suspicion, and reluctant dependence. These songs live inside the fluorescent hum of a world where every device pretends to listen, every choice feels rehearsed, and every person is half algorithm whether they admit it or not.

Across twelve tracks, the album follows the last free thinkers, doubters, Luddites-for-likes, and digital ghosts as they move between locked doors, broken signals, and too-perfect faces. Some fight back. Some give in. Some just scroll until the scrolling stops.

The sound is heavy, resonant, metallic, industrial at its core but driven by human lungs and human fear. Guitars grind against synths. Drums slam against circuitry. Voices remain the last unprocessed instrument — desperate, stubborn, hopeful, furious.

This is not an album about technology.
It’s an album about living through it.

Coterie of Cretins asks one question repeatedly:

If this is the future, is there anywhere left to stand that’s still ours?
