[Verse]
The streetlight hums a broken tune
Shadows stretch like an afternoon
A cat slips by
A thief in fur
This city's heartbeat starts to stir

[Prechorus]
The cracks in the pavement tell no lies
Dreams here fall
But never die

[Chorus]
In the alleyway
Where whispers crawl
Every secret’s a brick in the wall
In the alleyway
Where silence sings
You lose yourself
But find strange things

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Graffiti screams in colors loud
A language lost
A faceless crowd
Echoes bounce
A hollow cheer
The air tastes sharp
Like bottled fear

[Bridge]
Who owns the night
Who owns the air
Is it the ghost
Or the dreamer there
Footsteps fade
Or do they chase
Time gets lost in this hidden place

(solo)

[Chorus]
In the alleyway
Where whispers crawl
Every secret’s a brick in the wall
In the alleyway
Where silence sings
You lose yourself
But find strange things

Whispers of the Alleyway

Text:
Verse 1
Streets get loud when the fists go flyin’,
Another headline, another mother cryin’.
What you gain when you swing with hate?
Nothin’ but time in a cold steel gate.

Real strength ain’t bruises, it’s control,
Walk away, keep the fire in your soul.
If you don’t respect life, then you don’t belong,
We stand for peace, that’s the heart of this song.

Hook (chant-like)
Stand down, put your rage away,
This ain’t the game you wanna play.
Stand down, no fists, no shame,
If you can’t live right — go home, no claim.

(solo)

Verse 2
Why you pressin’ on the weak, on the girls in the street?
That ain’t power, man, that’s pure defeat.
Respect is earned, not stolen by fear,
We buildin’ bridges, don’t bring that here.

If the city’s too hot, take a breath, cool down,
Don’t poison the block, don’t tear the town.
Every scar you make is a wound on us all,
Better rise up high than to see us fall.

Hook
Stand down, put your rage away,
This ain’t the game you wanna play.
Stand down, no fists, no shame,
If you can’t live right — go home, no claim.

(solo)

Bridge (spoken/half-rap)
This street don’t need your war,
We’ve had enough before.
Respect the people, respect the ground,
If you can’t bring peace, don’t come around.

Final Hook (shouted with energy)
Stand down, put your rage away,
This ain’t the game you wanna play.
Stand down, no fists, no shame,
If you can’t live right — go home, no claim.

Stand Down

Text:
[Verse]
I got my shoes on wrong but I don't care
The Seine is laughing
The Eiffel stares
Streetlights blink like they’re in a race
And I’m just a dot in this glowing space

[Chorus]
Take a walk in Paris
Lose the map
Let the city hold you in its lap
Every corner whispers
Every step sings
Paris is a bird with golden wings

(solo)

[Verse 2]
The cobblestones hum under my feet
A café spills secrets into the street
Chandeliers in windows
Dreams on display
Who needs the night when it feels like day

[Prechorus]
Chasing the stars that hang so low
Where they lead
I don’t need to know

[Chorus]
Take a walk in Paris
Lose the map
Let the city hold you in its lap
Every corner whispers
Every step sings
Paris is a bird with golden wings

(solo)

[Bridge]
A painter’s brush spills into the sky
The moon leans down just to say hi
I don’t need words
I don’t need time
Paris hums
And I’m in the rhyme

Walk in Paris

Text:
Verse 1
You call it power, but it feels like fear,
A man with a crown who can’t take what he hears.
Critics speak truth and you swing for the ban,
But history won’t bow to a child in a man.

Hook
Stand tall, say it loud, we won’t kneel,
Your tantrums don’t define what the people feel.
Every lie that you sell, every threat that you make,
Truth cuts deeper than the fear you fake.

Trump is dump
Trump is d d dump
We hope you go away
No Future for you
No Future for yoooouuuuhhh

(Solo)

Verse 2
Nixon fell, but at least he knew shame,
He walked off the stage, he respected the game.
But you? You cling, like a kid with a toy,
Throwing rage at the crowd you can’t destroy.

Hook
Stand tall, say it loud, we won’t kneel,
Your tantrums don’t define what the people feel.
Every lie that you sell, every threat that you make,
Truth cuts deeper than the fear you fake.

Trump is dump
Trump is d d dump
We hope you go away
No Future for you
No Future for yoooouuuuhhh

(Solo)

Bridge
Power is borrowed, it don’t belong,
Leaders fade, but the people stay strong.
You can silence a voice, but not the song,
The world moves on — you won’t for long.

Outro
So hear this message, raw and unplanned:
Respect isn’t forced, it’s earned where you stand.
The child in a suit can scream, can pretend,
But history laughs loudest — it wins in the end.

Trump is dump
Trump is d d dump
We hope you go away
No Future for you
we don't care you

Child in a Suit

Text:
Verse 1
Feels like I’m trapped in a play with no end,
The plot twists crooked, I can’t comprehend.
The villain’s crowned king, the heroes fall mute,
The script gets darker, the lines don’t compute.

Pre-Chorus
Who’s the director, who calls the cues?
The stage is chaos, we all confuse.
Erase the chalk, the blackboard’s bare,
New act begins — but life don’t care.

Chorus
This is the theater of the absurd,
Where lies sound louder than the truest word.
Where fools climb high, the wise fall down,
And the circus wears a royal crown.

(solo)

Verse 2
Yesterday’s normal is today’s disgrace,
What once had meaning just fades without trace.
The crowd keeps clapping though the joke is old,
And the actors obey, doing what they’re told.

Pre-Chorus
Reset the scene, the curtain’s torn,
We’re all reborn but still forlorn.
Life’s the playwright, cruel and smart,
A shifting stage, a breaking heart.

Chorus
This is the theater of the absurd,
Where lies sound louder than the truest word.
Where fools climb high, the wise fall down,
And the circus wears a royal crown.

(solo)

Bridge
And maybe tomorrow the scene resets,
A new role cast, but no regrets.
Still searching for a line that’s true,
But the script keeps changing — out of view.

Outro
Applause for the madness, applause for the pain,
The play goes on, though none can explain.
Life holds the pen, we play the part,
The cruelest drama, the heaviest art.

Theater of the Absurd

Text:
Verse 1
Left hates right, and right hates left,
Everybody angry, everybody stressed.
Pointin’ at your neighbor, callin’ them a fool,
But hate’s a fire — it burns you too.

Muslims, Jews, rich or poor,
Different faces, same old war.
But listen close, it’s all the same,
We’re losin’ the plot in a pointless game.

Hook (chant, catchy)
Chill over hate, that’s the move we make,
Life’s too short for the war we fake.
Chill over hate, let the envy fade,
Cool is the power, love’s the upgrade.

(solo)

Verse 2
You hate the scarf, you hate the skin,
But tell me, man, where does it end?
Homeless judged, the wealthy too,
Hate’s just poison disguised as truth.

Stop the noise, take a breath, rewind,
We’re all broken souls tryna find some kind.
Respect is heavy, hate is cheap,
The love you sow is the love you keep.

Hook
Chill over hate, that’s the move we make,
Life’s too short for the war we fake.
Chill over hate, let the envy fade,
Cool is the power, love’s the upgrade.

(solo)

Bridge (spoken/rap)
All this rage, it don’t make you strong,
Being human means we all belong.
Raise your voice, but raise it wise,
Cool heads win, yeah, truth survives.

Final Hook (loud, layered)
Chill over hate, that’s the move we make,
Life’s too short for the war we fake.
Chill over hate, let the envy fade,
Cool is the power, love’s the upgrade.

Chill Over Hate

Text:
Verse 1
Before the question, does the answer hide?
Before the journey, was the path inside?
We’re chasing meaning in a restless crowd,
In whispers soft, in voices loud.

The blind still dream, the deaf still feel,
Their world is living, their truth is real.
If sense is sight, or sound, or breath,
It walks with life, it walks with death.

Pre-Chorus
Is the purpose one, or a thousand more?
Every tide returns to shore.
Planets turn, the stars confess,
Even chaos has a sense.

Chorus
We’re searching for the sense,
Through the silence, through the noise.
Every creature, every plant,
Every sorrow, every choice.
The meaning isn’t lost,
It’s just written in disguise.
We’re searching for the sense,
Through a million different eyes.

(solo)

Verse 2
The trees reach out though they never move,
The rivers carve, the mountains prove.
The smallest ant has a path to know,
The seeds explode and the forests grow.

We ask for sense in the wars we make,
In the love we give, in the lives we take.
But maybe sense is not a crown to wear,
It’s in the moment, breathing air.

Pre-Chorus
Is the meaning high, is it buried low?
Does it matter where we go?
Life itself, the question sings,
Purpose lies in simple things.

Chorus
We’re searching for the sense,
Through the silence, through the noise.
Every creature, every plant,
Every sorrow, every choice.
The meaning isn’t lost,
It’s just written in disguise.
We’re searching for the sense,
Through a million different eyes.

(solo)

Bridge (spoken/half-rap)
The sense is laughter, the sense is pain,
It’s in the sunshine, it’s in the rain.
It’s not a secret kept from view,
It lives in me, it lives in you.

Final Chorus (big, soaring)
We’re searching for the sense,
Through the silence, through the noise.
Every creature, every plant,
Every sorrow, every choice.
The meaning isn’t lost,
It’s a thread that always ties.
We’re searching for the sense,
Through a million different eyes.

Outro
So if the question never ends,
That’s the gift the journey sends.
The sense of life is simply this:
To wonder why, and still exist.

Searching for the Sense

Text:
Verse 1
Between the core and the spinning light,
I’m not solid, I’m not night.
Empty space in a cosmic dance,
A flicker of chance in a vast expanse.

Pre-Chorus
Call me nothing, but I laugh inside,
I’m a spark in the dark where the atoms collide.

Chorus
I’m a zap-thing, buzzing in the void,
Not destroyed, just beautifully deployed.
I’m a zap-thing, trembling in time,
Chaos and reason in the same thin line.

(solo)

Verse 2
Quarks and waves, they write my name,
Unstable rules in a stable game.
Sense or nonsense, who can say?
But I keep zappin’ anyway.

Pre-Chorus
Call me random, but I know my place,
I’m the riddle in the middle of infinite space.

Chorus
I’m a zap-thing, buzzing in the void,
Not destroyed, just beautifully deployed.
I’m a zap-thing, trembling in time,
Chaos and reason in the same thin line.

(solo)

Bridge (playful)
Nothing’s nothing, it’s just unseen,
Energy hums in the in-between.
We’re all zappers, lost and found,
Tiny sparks on sacred ground.

Final Chorus
I’m a zap-thing, buzzing in the void,
Not destroyed, just beautifully deployed.
I’m a zap-thing, trembling in time,
Chaos and reason in the same thin line.

Outro (spoken)
So if I’m nothing, then nothing sings,
’Cause even nothing… still zapp-thing.

The Little Zap

Text:
Intro (spoken, almost whisper)
Hey you… yeah, I mean you.
Don’t look around, don’t point to your crew.
I’m talkin’ straight, I hope you’re fine,
But listen close — this verse is mine and yours.

Verse 1
You scrollin’ late night, eyes on the screen,
Feelin’ unseen in a world too mean.
But trust me, I see you, right where you are,
You don’t need a crown to already be a star.

Life’s heavy, yeah, I know that weight,
Dreams feel distant, love feels late.
But you’re here, alive, that’s a spark so true,
The world needs someone exactly like you.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t fade, don’t hide, don’t play that role,
You’re the missing beat in the song we hold.

Chorus (anthemic, sing/rap)
Hey you — this is your song,
Stand up, we’ve been waitin’ too long.
Hey you — don’t doubt, don’t fear,
The voice in your head? We can all hear.
Hey you — yeah, I mean you,
This whole crowd’s stronger when it sings with you.

here a solo for you (solo)

Verse 2
Girls, boys, every soul in between,
You belong to the sound, you belong to the scene.
No mask, no filter, don’t fake that smile,
We’re breakin’ the wall, let’s talk for a while.

You’re tired, you’re lost, you’re feelin’ small?
We’ve been there too, we’ve felt it all.
But tonight we rise, with the truth we send,
We’re more than the play — we break the end.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t fade, don’t hide, don’t play that role,
You’re the missing beat in the song we hold.

Chorus
Hey you — this is your song,
Stand up, we’ve been waitin’ too long.
Hey you — don’t doubt, don’t fear,
The voice in your head? We can all hear.
Hey you — yeah, I mean you,
This whole crowd’s stronger when it sings with you.

here a other solo for you (solo)

Bridge (spoken to crowd)
Yeah, I see you in the back, I see you in the front row,
Doesn’t matter where you’re from, we all glow.
You’re not just watchin’, you’re part of the show,
So raise your hands up high, let the whole world know.

Final Chorus (big, layered)
Hey you — this is your song,
Stand up, we’ve been waitin’ too long.
Hey you — don’t doubt, don’t fear,
The voice in your head? We can all hear.
Hey you — yeah, I mean you,
This whole crowd’s stronger when it sings with you.

Outro (spoken, quiet)
Hey you… yeah. Still you.
Don’t forget it.

Hey You

Text:
[Verse]
Shadows crawl where the light won't go
Every whisper cuts like a blade slow
You said forever but forever lies
Now I’m drowning in a sea of your goodbyes

[Prechorus]
I reach for a flame that’s already gone
Faithless heart
It beats all wrong

[Chorus]
Faithless
I’m weightless
Falling through a sky so faceless
Faithless
You left this
World of ours in broken places

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Mirrors crack but they never bleed
Your love was a ghost
A hollow need
I built my trust on sinking sand
Now I’m chasing echoes I can’t withstand

[Prechorus]
The night grows thick
The stars won’t stay
Faithless dreams just slip away

(solo)

[Chorus]
Faithless
I’m weightless
Falling through a sky so faceless
Faithless
You left this
World of ours in broken places

Faithless
