Move Yo Feet (Like-Dis)

Dun-Na-Na Hot as Fuh

Rhythms so voracious, this style rings audacious,
Flowing capacious, spacious, not fallacious.
Wisdom of ages, timeless, sagacious,
Lyrical game rhymes relentless, tenacious.

Weaving through syllables, soft sounds with no spaces,
Hypnotic aquatic waves flow rapacious.
Pulverizing new cadence - still soft, simple, gracious,
These verses shine vividly vicious, vivacious.

CHORUS:
With this symphony of words, who's the unseen maestro?
Dark, brooding, hidden; I'm sure they're real nice though.
A rhythmic alchemist, turning phrases, pre-cay-cious,
In the art of wordplay, living loquacious.

Metaphors morph, form a script, outrageous, 
Crafted in chaos, controlled, contagious. 
Mystical, magical, lines so outrageous, 
Unleashing a storm, powerful, courageous.

Silent but deadly, my words are subversive, 
Penning new legends, these tales are immersive. 
Syntax so dexterous, language coercive, 
Each rhyme a dagger, sharp and incisive. (sharp just like cursive)

CHORUS:
With this symphony of words, who's the unseen maestro?
Dark, brooding, hidden; BUT I'm sure they're real nice though.
A rhythmic alchemist, turning phrases, pre-cay-cious,
In the art of wordplay, living loquacious.

Verbs in the ether, I weave them like laces, 
Building my empire with lyrical paces. 
Architect of the rhythm, no need for embraces, 
Filling blank pages with explosive traces.

In this labyrinth of letters, I stand, capricious, 
A rebel of rhyme, relentless, audacious. 
Patterns like fractals, perfect, prodigious, 
Every beat a testament, wondrous, prestigious.

CHORUS:
With this symphony of words, who's the unseen maestro?
Dark, brooding, hidden; I'm sure they're real nice though.
A rhythmic alchemist, turning phrases, pre-cay-cious,
In the art of wordplay, living loquacious.

Living Loquacious

- Seeded Suno with slightly edited MJK lyrics and a snippet of a song doodle I had in reserves.
- Iterated to get the vocal cadence and melody the way I wanted it. 
- Used Moises to split the stems.
- Sampled and edited Danny Carey's 2.5-minute drum intro. 
- Added various elements in Ableton Live: a couple samples from Splice, some soft synths, some effects, some automation, a decent amount of mixing and arranging, some light mastering with Ozone, Soundcloud mastering, and voilà 😎


-LYRICS-

I have come curiously close to the end, though
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole
Defeated I concede I move closer. 
I may find comfort here; I may find peace within the emptiness,
How pitiful...

It's calling me

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret, a confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and

A million light reflections pass over me
The source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out, I am without one doubt
Don't want to be down here soothing my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the line displace

Before I pine away

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable

So let the light touch you
So let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason

Before we pine away (pine away)

Pine Away ("Reflection" cover)

No AI robots were harmed (or used) in the (re)production of this tune.

My Shadows Just Ahead Of Me (tB DnB mix)

Dreams Do Not Belong

[Verse]
Step in da shadows, pen bleedin’ on the page
Each letter a burden, can’t flee from the rage
Lips taste copper, heart break in the air
I crave that sweet kill, love twisted in despair
From the city blocks, after-hour gloom
The bass shakes ya chest, pen a grim tune
Ink bleeds black in the neon lights haze
Carved your name in my verses—keep writin’ through the blaze

[Chorus]
Ooh, I write love darkly
So close, but so far
Wrapped in memory
Burnin’ like a fallen star

[Verse]
Passion so violent, it crashin’ in the night
Basslines rattle bones, heartbreak in plain sight
Stuck between devotion and the beast in me
Tryina build a castle outta broken vacancy
Words cut throats, they feed me relief
Tone so bleak, you can taste the grief
Drums pound hope in da darkest chord
To write love darkly, the cross I can’t ignore

[Chorus]
Ooh, I write love darkly
So close, but so far
Wrapped in memory
Burnin’ like a fallen star

[Bridge]
In the hush of the night, 
your ghost is so near
This ache keeping me awake, 
Heart's quake reliving every fear

[Chorus Outro]
Ooh, I write love darkly
Ink stained on my chest
Torn by memory
Hopelessly, we rest

To Write Love Darkly

Verse 1 (Ebbing Tide of Ego)
The sea’s a cracked mirror, spittin’ saltwater sermons,
Its waves cursive curses—”I’m God’s drunk intern!”
Tumultuous petulance? Nah, it’s just Neptune’s tantrum,
A narcissist with tridents, drownin’ ships for Instagram.
Benevolence? Please. It’d rather flex tsunamis,
Swallow continents whole, then blame the ”climate crazy.”
Relevance? Ask the coral—skeletons stacked in rows,
While the tide writes its memoir in disappearing prose.

Pre-Chorus (Melancholy + Absurdity)
I’m the janitor moppin’ up the ocean’s spilled ego,
Bucket full of mermaid tears and diesel-slicked legos.
A short stint spittin’ words I never meant? Guilty.
My conscience is a piñata—swingin’, split, empty.

Verse 2 (Hustle’s Undertow)
Penchant for gettin’ hella bent? Bro, I’m the pretzel king—
Twist my syntax into knots while the rent’s a hangman’s string.
Sellin’ Girl Scout cookies? Nah, black market Samoas,
Stash ’em in a trench coat, whisper ”sugar’s the new cocaine.”
Thin Mint fame? I’m the cookie monster’s rehab relapse,
Crumb-trailin’ through trap beats, dodgin’ Nabisco contracts.
The sea’s a washed-up rapper, I’m the riptide’s mixtape—
Unmastered, raw, all basslines and duct-taped faith.

Bridge (Syllable Storm)
I verb nouns into oblivion, adjective the void,
Metaphors molt like krill in a whale’s asteroid.
The ocean’s just a vowel—A-E-I-O-uh-oh—
Spit a hurricane’s hook, eye of the storm’s a logo.

Outro (Precision + Chaos)
The tide’s a washed-up hype man, slurrin’ encore chants,
I’m the barnacle on Poseidon’s mic, scribblin’ rants.
Relevance? Bitch, I’m kelp—clingin’, rotten, absurd,
The sea’s a broke jukebox, I’m the skip in its last word.

Neptune's Narcissism

[Verse 1]
Dormant wires hum, under skin
A champion sleeps where the light thins
Clockwork veins, rusted hymns
Ghosts of code where the fight begins

[Chorus]
Dormant champion, rise and decay
Silent engines carve the way
Ash to circuits, circuits to clay
Tomorrow’s shadow eats today

[Verse 2]
Flicker. Static. A pulse in the void
Fractured mirrors where hope’s destroyed
Echoes bargain, “Stay employed”
The crown you wear is a paranoid toy

[Bridge]
You built the maze but forgot the thread…
The champion’s dead. The champion’s dead.

[Outro]
Dormant. Champion.
Dormant. Champion.

Dormant Champion

[Verse 1]
The air’s a cage my ribs won’t bend,
Heartbeats of loops that won’t descend.
The pill(s) dissolve(s) like sugar-ash,
A numb eclipse, a mindless crash.

[Pre-Chorus]
Breath by breath, the room rewinds,
I glitch between the wrongs and rights.

[Chorus 1]
Bury the voices in my veins,
Static love and chemical rain.
Repeat the lie, erase the pain,
I’m not alive, not wired the same.

[Chorus 2]
Bury the voices in my veins,
Static love and chemical rain.
Repeat the love, erase the pain,
I’m not alive, not wired the same.

[Verse 2]
A hollow laugh, a flickering lung,
Becoming sick of what I’ve become.
The mirror it splits my name in static
A funeral where no one came...

[Chorus 1]
Bury the voices in my veins,
Static love and chemical rain.
Repeat the lie, erase the pain,
I’m not alive, not wired the same.

[Bridge]
Trace my pulse; it’s someone else’s hand,
Delete the past, rewrite the plan.
The world’s a blur of Xanax-gray,
I’m the dust the light won’t take.

[Chorus 2]
Bury the voices in my veins,
Static love and chemical rain.
Repeat the love, erase the pain,
I’m not alive, not wired the same.

[Outro]
I’m not alive, not wired the same.

Severed Skin

[VERSE 1]
Within the decks where dreams abide (collide),
The gleam emerges (emerged all)  soft and wide,
It carves (claws) the cypher in the air,
A fleeting script, both bold and rare.

[PRE-CHORUS] 
A measured burst—a whispered art,
Where light,
divides,
the hidden heart (spark),

[CHORUS]
Flashing lights dissolve into murmurs of smoke,
Cold (code) drifts between the joke,
We slip in the space where brilliant haze converges,
In quiet…
...punctuation!

[VERSE 2] 
Amid (within) the vault (fault) of urban breath,
My flesh untangles time from death.
Each beat (beam) unfolds a secret claim,
A simple dance, a tender flame.

The haze adorns the fleeting flare,
In every flicker, 
my dreams, 
do declare (despair).

[BRIDGE 1]
The (A) cadence stirs, both soft and clear,
A [The] language felt yet never near.
In pulses, whispered myths arise—
Inscribed in lies of stripped (strict) disguise. 

[VERSE 2] 
Amid (within) the vault (fault) of urban breath (bread),
My flesh untangles time from death,
Each beat (beam) unfolds a secret claim,
A simple dance (dawn's), a tender flame.

The haze adorns the fleeting flare,
In every flicker, 
my dreams, 
do declare (despair).

[BRIDGE 2]
The (A) cadence stirs, both soft and clear,
A [The] language felt yet never near.
In pulses (impulsive), whispered myths arise (of lies)—
Inscribed in lies (lives) with (of) stripped (strict) disguise.

[CHORUS]
Flashing lights dissolve into murmurs of smoke,
Cold (code) drifts between the joke,
We slip in the space where brilliant haze converges,
In quiet…
...punctuation!

Flashing Lights

(Verse 1)
I woke up this mornin', heart heavy as stone
Looked around and found my dreams had all but up 'n gone
All them sweet words faded like ink in the rain
Love is just a gamble, leaves ya nothin' but pain

(Chorus)
Chasin' dreams is like buildin' castles in the sand
So I’m givin’ up on love, ‘n goin’ after land
The fields don't lie, dirt don't break your heart
Roots grow deep, so they won't tear you apart

(Verse 2)
I've danced through whispers, promises that fade
Now I'm plantin' oak trees and buildin' me some shade
No more cryin’, no more holdin’ a shadow's empty hands
Love's too uncertain, but this dirt understands

(Bridge)
Stars up yonder, show me where I stand
Let my heart grow steady, where the rivers bend
Livin’ simpler, just fittin' in where I can
Letting go of what I've lost, lovin' who I am

(Chorus)
Chasin' dreams is like buildin' castles in the sand
So I’m givin’ up on love, ‘n goin’ after land
The fields don't lie, dirt don't break your heart
Roots grow deep, so they won't tear you apart

Givin Up On Love, Goin After Land

(Verse 1)
There's footprints on the bank where we once used to lay
But the current's long gone, and the bed's been turned to clay
Time don't sit still, it just slips right through the cracks
You can beg all you want, but the river don't run back

(Chorus)
The river don't run back, no matter how you plead
It'll wash away the want, but it'll never quench your need
What's gone is gone, and that's just a fact
You can beg up to the sky, but the river won't run back

(Verse 2)
I've howled at the moon, I've cursed God and the rain
Tried patchin' up my hope with a whole heap o' pain
But the past ain't listenin', and the lines all out of slack
It carries your prayers to where the river don't run back

(Chorus)
The river don't run back, no matter how you plead
It'll wash away the want, but it'll never quench your need
What's gone is gone, and that's just a fact
You can cry out to the sky, but the river won't run back

(Bridge)
If memories are water, then I'm knee-deep in the flood
Hard to keep up the chase with my boots so full o' mud
Now I follow the flow, ain't no need to unpack
There's no use holdin' on when the river don't run back

(Chorus)
The river don't run back, no matter how you plead
It'll wash away the want, but it will never quench your need
What's gone is gone, and that's just a fact
You can cry out to the sky, but the river won't run back

The river dont...

(Chorus)
The river don't run back, no matter how you plead
It'll wash away the want, but it'll never quench your need
What's gone is gone, and that's just a fact
You can beg up to the sky, but the river won't run back

The river don't...
The river won't...
...run back.

The River Wont Run Back

(Verse 1)
Was born with dust in my teeth, and a prayer on my tongue
Raised on bitter bread and the crack of a jealous sun
Roots run crooked now in the marrow of my name
Every scar a gospel, evr-every bruise is a flame

(Pre-Chorus)
Ashes in my rearview, rivers in my blood
Built from broken timber, baptized by the flood

(Chorus)
Roots, ruin, and redemption
Carved into my skin like a map home from within
Roots, ruin, and redemption
Singin’ through the cracks gettin' weathered again

(Verse 2)
I’ve wrestled with ghosts that wore my own face
Sowed seeds in silence, reaped thunder in grace
Bowed down in the wreckage, rose up with the rain
Turned each and every fall into a piece of me

(Bridge)
There’s gold in the gravel, and fire in the stone
Forgiveness ain’t given, it’s something you grow
If I lose every battle, let my soul stand tall
‘Cause it ain’t where you stumble, it’s how you get up from the fall

(Pre-Chorus)
Ashes in my rearview, rivers in my blood
Built from broken timber, baptized in the flood

(Chorus)
Roots, ruin, and redemption
Carved into my skin like a map home from within
Roots, ruin, and redemption
Singin’ through the cracks gettin' weathered again

(Bridge)
There’s gold in the gravel, and fire in the stone
Forgiveness ain’t given, it’s something you grow
If I lose every battle, let my soul stand tall
‘Cause it ain’t where you stumble, it’s how you get up from the fall

(Outro Pre-Chorus)
Ashes in my rearview, rivers in my blood
Built from broken timber, baptized in the flood

(Outro Chorus)
Roots, ruin, and redemption
Carved into my skin like a map home from the DARK
Roots, ruin, and redemption
Singin’ through the cracks in my HEART

Roots, Ruin, and Redemption

[VERSE 1]
I been walkin through the coals, soles wearin thin
Singin hallelujah with a voice made outta tin
Faith dont flicker just cuz the night runs long
It dances in the ruin, hummin the same ole song

[CHORUS]
Shine on, broken mirror, catchin rays, singin praise
Shards of busted glass stained with light from the blaze
Aint no preacher, aint no choir, just a beat deep in the fire
Singin all night long, shine on
Shine on

[VERSE 2]
Moonlight bendin on a rusted ole hood
That's where the devil promised he'd be good
But he can't have my spark, it's tucked into my jaw
Whisperin them hymns that my shadow never saw

[PRE-CHORUS]
Keep your eyes on the flicker, dont run from the flame
Every soles' got a rhythm, every wounds got a name
When the darkness tries to drown you, let't remind you to sing
Your light aint gone, its just waitin for tha swing

[CHORUS (reprise)]
Shine on, broken mirror, catchin rays, singin praise
Shards of busted glass stained with light from the blaze
Aint no preacher, aint no choir, just a beat deep in the fire
Singin all night long, shine on...
Shine on

[BRIDGE]
Fire dont ask when youre ready to shine
It'll burn out the false, leave a holy hole behind
Destruction breeds creation, so let it take what's overgrown
Til I'm left with the rhythm that lets my light be shown

[PRE-CHORUS]
Keep your eyes on the flicker, dont run from the flame
Every souls got a rhythm, every wounds got a name
When the darkness tries to drown you, let't remind you to sing
Your light aint gone, its just waitin for da swing

[CHORUS]
Shine on, broken mirror, catchin rays, singin praise
Shards of busted glass stained with light from the blaze
Aint no preacher, aint no choir, just a beat deep in the fire
Singin all night long, shine on,
Shine on

[VERSE 1 (reprise)]
I been walkin through the cold, soul's wearin thin
Singin hallelujah with a voice made outta tin
Faith dont flicker just cuz the night runs long
It dances in the ruin, hummin the same ole song

Shards of busted glass stained with light from the blaze
Aint no preacher, aint no choir, just a beat deep in the fire

"This little spark 'o mine ain' little no more."

Shine On

[VERSE 1]
I used to love you, that’s for sure
But now the thought just makes me sore
All the flowers, the cards, all the lore
Can’t fix what walked right out that door

[CHORUS]
No more Valentine, no more pain
I won’t be playin’ that game again
I hit the road, forgot your name
And try to find some peace again

Oh, the thrill’s gone still
And the ache feels numb
Love and hate got all tangled and...
This is what I’ve become

[VERSE 2]
Trade those roses for some whiskey
Sing a song that’s raw and risky
Won’t be cryin’, won’t be blue
No more love, just me and the truth

[CHORUS]
No more Valentine, no more pain
I won’t be playin’ that game again
I hit the road, forgot your name
And try to find some peace again

Oh, the thrill’s gone still
And the ache feels numb
Love and hate got all tangled and...
This is what I’ve become

[BRIDGE]
Love can be a wicked spell
A broken heart, my private hell
But I’ll be fine, I’ll walk that line
No more Valentine, it’s the end of "mine"
The end of the line...

[CHORUS]
No more Valentine, no more pain
I won’t be playin’ that game again
I hit the road, forgot your name
And try to find some peace again

Oh, the thrill’s gone still
And the ache feels numb
Love and hate got all tangled and...
This is what I’ve become

[OUTRO]
So take your love and set me free
I’ll build a fire, I’ll plant a seed
No more heartache, no more lies
I’ll find a love that doesn’t hide

No more Valentine, no more shame
I won’t be playin’ that game again
I’ll carve a path, reclaim my name
And finally breathe again

Oh, the thrill’s gone still
But I won’t succumb
I burned down the past to find that
This is what I’ve become...

What I've Become

[Intro]
We don’t break, we bend
Wiry roots in the sand
Growin’ wild where they said we can
Livin’ proof in this plastic land

[Verse 1]
Been a ghost in the signal, barefoot on the buzz
Talkin’ back to my demons like, “I wasn’t what I was”
Got a crack in my smile, got some blood in my rage
Wrote this feature in the margins of a fake blank page

Midnight motors in my chest go vroom
Been dancin’ in the fallout when dat bass go boom
No crown, no throne, justa gravel filled tone
Spit sick truth like a dial-up phone

I’m the static in your playlist, the foot that cracked cement
Survive this simulation with a vibe I never meant
Tin foil halo, white foam in my grin
My sins all sink, but my spirit still swims

[Pre-Chorus]
Flashin’ like lightning in an ocean rain
Even though it hurts, I don’t break the chain
Diggin’ through the noise for a sweeter sound
I was lost in the light, but I’m feelin’ found

[Chorus]
I don’t break, I just bloom in the wire
Born from dust and a circle of fire
Keep that bassline deep in my chest
When I fall, I fall with finesse

Don’t need saving, I’m already free
Friends don’t run, they dance with the beat
Alone in the silence, I still resume
Heart on loop in a cyclical bloom

[Verse 2]
Can’t kill what you can’t define
I’m the echo in the cloud, I’m the static spine
Put my heart on wax, now it heats like sun
Talk real slick but I move like one

Flashbacks flicker in a warehouse rave
Been wild since the dial-up days
Still runnin game on a payphone flow
And my dreams got teeth like a backroom show

Postcard life in a bitch parade
I bend when I break, still unafraid
Got sparks in my veins, I’m a loop on boom
With a glow so loud, it'll shake da room

[Bridge]
Pulse don’t lie…
When the beat drops out, I still testify
It’s not where you land, it’s how you climb
Built my wings from a glitch in time

[Final Chorus]
I don’t break, I just bloom in the wire
Born from dust and a circle of fire
Keep that bassline deep in my chest
When I fall, I fall with finesse

Don’t need saving, I’m already free
Friends don’t run, they dance with the beat
Alone in the silence, I still resume
Heart on loop in a cyclical bloom

We Don't Break We Bend

[Verse 1]
You knock on my door, your shadow in hand
Spinning your pain like a wedding band
Said you need love, not another fight
But you never ask if I made it through the night

[Verse 2]
You say your mama’s dying slow
And now you’re the fire you used to know
And I see her face every time you scream
I held your breath, when you lost your dream

[Chorus]
But I can’t be the place you run
Every time you block the sun
I gave you light, I gave you time
You gave me bruises dressed as rhyme
And I still care, I swear I do
But I gotta love you from afar...
To stay safe from you

[Verse 3]
You say, “Let’s meet, we’ve been here before”
And I taste the poison behind the door
We never broke in a hotel bed
But the aftermath still haunts my head

[Chorus]
I can’t be the place you run
Every time you come undone
I gave you grace, I gave you truth
You gave me storms and called it youth
And I still ache, I swear I do
But I gotta love you from afar...
To stay safe from you

[Outro]
I used to be your parachute
Now I’m the ground that won’t break loose
I saved you once, I saved you twice
But I won’t drown to make it right
So I light a prayer and let it go
You’ll never know how much I know
This love don’t die, but I won’t lose
My soul again trying to rescue you...

From Afar

Weekends like honey, too soft and too thick  
The moments drift easy, the clock doesn’t tick  
Plans rest unfinished, promises float  
Just another tomorrow, a casual note  

Monday comes early, quiet but clear  
Coffee steam's risin', shiftin' my gears  
A chance in my pocket, so fresh and so clean  
Another day borrowed, no guarantees seen  

How many Mondays will I know  
How many sunrises whisper, "let's go?"  
Each morning’s uncertain, yet here I stand  
Grateful for time placed again in my hand  

Yes, I love Monday, simple and true  
Another beginning to chase what I do  
Knowing full well tomorrow might stray  
I thank every Monday I'm gifted today

I Love Monday

[Verse 1]
Coffee still warm, thought I made it yesterday
By noon I’m drowning, nobody ever stays
Texts unanswered, heart racing after
Beg you to stay, push you away faster
Memories swing, a pendulum inside
Love you, hate you, hate me, 
Nothing left to hide

One step from the edge, waiting to fall
Holding my breath, nobody hears me call

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone in this echoing room
Every ghost inside wears your perfume
Don’t leave me to myself, I'm scared what I’ll do
I break what I love, before they leave too

[Verse 2]
Pacing now, racing thoughts, bottles hit the floor
Voices scream accusations that I can’t ignore
You promised you’d stay, I feel so betrayed
Blaming you for scars that my dark side made
The mirror lies, shows me someone unknown
Lash out, regret it, this cycle is my home

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone in this echoing room
Every ghost inside wears your perfume
Don’t leave me to myself, I'm scared what I’ll do
I break what I love, before they leave too

[Verse 3]
Is this what you wanted? To watch me fall apart
Screaming silent sabotage, hate filling my heart
I didn’t mean it, don’t trust what I say
Lost between who I am inside, and who I am today
Cut by memories, just to feel alive
Haunted by the child they couldn’t keep alive

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone in this echoing room
Every ghost inside wears your perfume
Don’t leave me to myself, I'm scared what I’ll do
I break what I love, before they leave too

[Outro]
Maybe tomorrow… I’ll find who I am.
Maybe tomorrow, I can stand up again.

I Break What I Love

[Verse 1]
All my friends seem like they're glitchin these days
Projecting their little tears into my gaze
All their worries seem to come in sideways
They ask for help but can't remember my name
Static sparks erupt when they sing
All the notes sung out of tune
I keep waitin for the signal
But it’s just noise that fills the room

[Chorus]
It seems like glitch season again
Where all the wires fray and bend
All the gods go offline
All my heroes play pretend
Yeah here we are, glitch season again
I see the code beneath their skin
And I’m scanning for the signal
In this world overflowing with sin

[Verse 2]
They call me for my wisdom
But hate the brilliance that I bring
They want to touch this lightning
But fear the thunder in what I sing
So I listen to their endless panic
And I taste the bitter faith
They all want me to teach my magic
Then curse the lessons in what I say

[Chorus]
It seems like glitch season again
Where all the wires fray and bend
All the gods go offline
All my heroes play pretend
Yeah here we are, glitch season again
I see the code beneath their skin
And I’m scanning for the signal
In a world that won’t transcend

[Bridge]
Maybe mercy is silence
Maybe grace is pulling away
Maybe love is just a fantasy
Most hearts end in decay
I keep dreaming in your static
I keep bleeding from the hum
But when the lightning turns to thunder
Don’t be confused when I run

[Chorus]
It seems like glitch season again
Where all the wires fray and bend
All the gods go offline
All my heroes play pretend
Yeah here we are, glitch season again
I see the code, I see the end
And I’m scanning for the signal
Beyond the idiots that wont bend

[Outro]
Because it’s glitch season, darling
Where illusions come to die
I’ve been screaming through the fault lines
With a whimper and a soft cry
Yeah it’s glitch season again
But my signal’s coming in true
And in this bitch of an existence
I see the glitch in you

Glitch Season

Our Looping End

[Verse 1 ]
There’s a crack in the curtain where the stillness leaks in
Where the mind grows loud and the world grows thin
Where the shape of the truth don’t quite fit the frame
And the echo you chase starts calling your name

[Verse 2]
There’s a hum in the silence, a thread in the dust
A face in the mirror you no longer trust
When the veil gets torn by a whisper or scream
And you don’t know if you’re waking or caught in a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it madness, is it meaning?
Is it mercy, is it doubt?
When the lines start leaning sideways
And the light keeps flickering out

[Chorus]
Some roads lead to ruin, some roads lead you home
Some truths hold you gently, some cut to the bone
You won’t know by the thunder, or the burn in your chest
Only fruit can reveal what the fire left

[Verse 3]
I’ve been spun out in spirals and pulled into grace
Felt the floor disappear while I stared at my face
Not every voice in the still is divine
Some drag you deeper and call it a sign

[Verse 4]
But I’ve seen peace bloom in the belly of storms
Felt love in the quiet where nothing felt warm
When the calm takes root in the cracks of your fear
It don’t shout from the mountain, it whispers right here

[Chorus]
Some roads lead to ruin, some roads lead you home
Some truths hold you gently, some cut to the bone
Not every vision will carry you west
Only fruit can reveal what the fire left

[Outro]
Not every storm is a sign from above
Not every ache is a lesson in love
But when your breath comes steady and your soul starts to bend
That’s not the end of the world, it might be how we mend...

Only Fruit

[Verse 1]
The river moves without a sound
Leaves drift slowly down, down to the ground
With every deep breath, I find my way
The night turns gold, the dark turns to day

[Chorus]
Everything I lose
Creates space for everything I need
Each movement takes the rest within my breath
And plants a quiet seed

[Verse 2]
The sky folds softly back into the sea
The mountains drift in clouds of mystery
I let the weight flow out my hands
And walk the curve through each shifting stance

[Chorus]
Every single thing I lose
Creates the space for everything I need
Each movement takes the rest within my breath
And plants a quiet seed

[Bridge]
I am only space between
The note and the refrain
The sun between the rain
The loss that lets me gain

[Chorus]
Everything I lose
Creates more space for everything I need
The wind will take the pain between my breaths
To plant a field of quiet seeds

[Outro]
Everything I lose
Everything I need
Every thing I lose
Every thing I need

Everything I Need

[Verse 1]
Coffee still warm, thought I made it yesterday
By noon I’m drowning, nobody ever stays
Texts unanswered, heart racing after
Beg you to stay, push you away faster
Memories swing, a pendulum inside
Love you, hate you, hate me, 
Nothing left to hide

One step from the edge, waiting to fall
Holding my breath, nobody hears me call

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone in this echoing room
Every ghost inside wears your perfume
Don’t leave me to myself, I'm scared what I’ll do
I break what I love, before they leave too

[Verse 2]
Pacing now, racing thoughts, bottles hit the floor
Voices scream accusations that I can’t ignore
You promised you’d stay, I feel so betrayed
Blaming you for scars that my dark side made
The mirror lies, shows me someone unknown
Lash out, regret it, this cycle is my home

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone in this echoing room
Every ghost inside wears your perfume
Don’t leave me to myself, I'm scared what I’ll do
I break what I love, before they leave too

[Verse 3]
Is this what you wanted? To watch me fall apart
Screaming silent sabotage, hate filling my heart
I didn’t mean it, don’t trust what I say
Lost between who I am inside, and who I am today
Cut by memories, just to feel alive
Haunted by the child they couldn’t keep alive

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone in this echoing room
Every ghost inside wears your perfume
Don’t leave me to myself, I'm scared what I’ll do
I break what I love, before they leave too
