SMILE

Storm Whispers

Perseverance in the Void

[Verse 1]
Edison lit up the night, Einstein bent space and time,
Fleming found a way to heal, Crick and Watson cracked the line.
Salk’s vaccine saved the world, Hubble saw the stars expand,
Curie’s hands held fire and gold, dreams were drawn into the sand.

[Pre-Chorus]
But what if there’s more waiting to be found?
A secret hiding deep underground?
Maybe the answer’s in the air we breathe,
And maybe that answer comes from me…

[Chorus]
Why not me? Why not now?
A spark of light, I’ll figure it out.
Maybe I’ll find the endless stream,
Or cure the pain inside a dream.
The world keeps turning, time won’t wait,
History’s calling, I won’t hesitate—
Why not me?
Oh, why not me?

[Verse 2]
Tesla dreamed of power free, flight was born from sand and sea,
The moon was just a distant light, 'til Armstrong took that giant leap.
The double helix held the key, the microchip rewrote our fate,
But somewhere there’s a lock unseen, and I was born to turn the gate.

[Pre-Chorus]
What if there’s a cure just beyond our reach?
A melody the universe wants to teach?
If Newton saw the apple fall,
Then maybe I can hear the call…

[Chorus]
Why not me? Why not now?
A spark of light, I’ll figure it out.
Maybe I’ll find the endless stream,
Or cure the pain inside a dream.
The world keeps turning, time won’t wait,
History’s calling, I won’t hesitate—
Why not me?
Oh, why not me?


[Outro]
Somewhere in the great unknown,
A light is waiting to be shown.

Why not me?
Oh, why not me?

Why Not Me?

Lyrics:

They say you die twice
Once when they put you in the ground
The second is the last time anybody talks about you
So I guess I could be alive
'Cause I hear about that handsome fool all the time
And I curse the day she found him

I feel like a ghost
I walk around with the form of a man
But he's not me
Babe
I don't know who I am
'Cause she doesn't come around here
I don't feel her presеnce anymore
Yeah
I lost her to a previous version of me
Baby
What for?

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

But she swears to God
She swears up and down that it's him
I ask her
"Was it all just pretend?
Or were you always his?"

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

'Til he came back home
Covered in Billy
Gave her that smile
Said that he's changed
Gonna stay for a while
Now she counts in "we"
And I count in weeks

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

I Lost Her to a Previous Version of Me

Personality Disorder

[Verse 1]
Packed my bags, left the shore,
Ventura sun, I’d see no more.
Dad had plans, we crossed the sea,
But in Geneva, it wasn’t meant to be.

At first, it felt like something new,
American school, a different view.
But then he left for Africa's call,
And I felt lost, I felt small.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Verse 2]
Athens nights and Cyprus skies,
Each new stop, a piece of life.
But my heart was set ahead,
To the Holy Land where my soul was led.

Half the day with hands in dirt,
Half the day where books would work.
Simple life, the air so clean,
It felt like waking from a dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Bridge]
Didn’t need a map, just a heart on fire,
Wanderer’s soul, climbing higher.
Maybe home’s not a place on a map,
But a feeling you chase and never look back.

[Outro]
Ventura’s waves still call my name,
But I’m not the same, I’ve changed my lane.
From Geneva’s halls to an open sky,
This is my life—I won't say goodbye.

[Final Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.
