BEAUTIFUL PLACE by Nova J

I’m in a beautiful place
Sitting next to your beautiful face
Left the city lights far away
In the woods where the wild things play

All of this beauty surrounds me
And yet inspiration confounds me
Why do I feel so dead inside?
What will it take to bring me back to life?

How much luxury do I need?
To satisfy this endless greed?
Will I ever feel something at all?
Or did I let that ability fall?

(Feel… feel… feel…)
(Have I lost it?)
(Feel… feel… feel…)

The wind won’t answer
The sky won’t speak
I whisper to the trees
But they just creak

What will it take to make me feel something?
Will I ever feel anything at all?
Or has a darkness taken hold
That beauty can’t dissolve?

This place is beautiful
But I am not
I left something behind
Or maybe… I forgot

BEAUTIFUL PLACE

COUNT YOUR HORSES COZ’ NIGHT IS COMING
DON’T LET THEM GO ASTRAY
IN THEIR SLEEP THEY JUST  MIGHT GO MISSING
AND YOU’LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN
YOU MAY NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE
WITH THOSE WEAPONS YOU CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE

HOW DID IT ALL COME TO THIS? 
HOW COULD WE LET IT COME TO THIS?
ARE YOU STILL WITH?

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE
WITH THOSE WEAPONS YOU CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
MAKE SURE WE’LL BE ALRIGHT
WITH OUR WEAPONS WE CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH OUR LOVED ONES BY OUR SIDE, BY OUR SIDE

Count Your Horses (Night Is Coming)

I wrote this song to deal with loss. I took my original version with my vocals/lyrics and used AI vocals to grow the song. My original Version https://fritz7.bandcamp.com/track/begin-to-finish

[Verse 1]
Demise appears, anguish and tears
So much to do, where to run

[Verse 2]
In disbelief, decry the grief
How is it true, proceed with you

[Chorus]
Out of the blue, fate thorough flew
Nature's cruel, so long adieu

[Verse 3]
Now we can all say goodbye
Cry and cry, gonna die

[Verse 4]
Demise and tears, absent years
There is no clue, just heaven do you

[Chorus]
Out of the blue, fate thorough flew
Nature's cruel, so long adieu

[Chorus]
Out of the blue, fate thorough flew
Nature's cruel, so long adieu
So long adieu

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m sweatin’ bullets in December
There’s blood in my sight
All them dreams I don’t remember
Flew off in the night

Got a choir of delusions (ahhhh)
Hammerin’ in my skull
And this wheel of confusion
Keeps on turnin’ full

[Chorus]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It used to feel like home
My vice, my vice
Now it cuts me to the bone

[Verse 2]
My body’s all broken
My blood feels like sand
And the devil’s still pokin’
With his bat in my hand

My eyes stay wide open
Sleep don’t come to me
I swam an ocean of lies
And drowned in the debris

[Chorus]
Yeah, my vice, my vice
It used to calm the storm
My vice, my vice
Now it’s colder than before

[Bridge]
One bright day, I saw forever
Fall to pieces in the rain
Seven years of stormy weather
Burnin’ holes inside my brain

[Instrumental]
(Yo!)

[Verse 3]
I’m prayin’ for redemption
God, pull me through
Let me be the exception
I don’t know what else to do

[Outro]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It’s not a friend no more
My vice, my vice
Left me dying on the floor

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Walkin’ through the Case Mountain woodlands
Cravin’ a companion to ease my pain
I pulled favors to find you, man
Now I’m chasin’ you down again

[Verse 2]
Thank you for keeping me warm, and
Thank you for this nutmeg night
There may be hell in the morning
But tonight I’m feeling alright, yeah

[Chorus]
So bring it on, bring it on, Adele
Bring it on, baby, I’m begging you
Bring it on, bring it on, my belle
Time to shake off these winter blues

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I need you to bring it on, bring it on, Adele
I need you to bring it on, bring it on, Adele
I need you to bring it on, bring it on, Adele

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
Yeah, bring it on, bring it on, Adele
Bring it, bring it on, I’m begging you

Bring it on, bring it on, Adele
Time to shake off these winter blues

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I still believe we could fix this world
Some forget why they came
Some are turned away at the gate
Who decides what dreams await

[Bridge]
We’re falling through euphoria
The magical madness begins
A flood of sound, hysteria
Where the night seeps under our skin

[Verse 2]
Drifting across this restless sea
The illusion of self-control
Elysia pulls us endlessly
To the center of her soul

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Cold-eyed mermaids shed restraint
In the undertow she sings
Sweet lies ripe as summer wine
They bite, they bruise, they cling

[Outro]
The nightingale forgets her song
No one’s left to carry on
Porcelain queens with painted eyes
The children run, electrified

[Instrumental]

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m transfixed by the colors
Bleeding in the sky above us
Crimson to tangerine
Sapphire between
I can’t fly
I’m trapped by your side

[Verse 2]
Stoned in the Japanese garden
She took you across the pond to the lions
Said hello darling, wanna take a trip?
Wanna take a hit…hit…hit?

[Verse 3]
She collects candy, Wonder Woman dolls
Just like we were kids, toys and all
She’s paranoid, short on joy
Gives herself away to girls and boys

[Bridge]
I’m intoxicated, I’m suffocated
I wanna go out, I need escape and

[Chorus]
My old friend
I’ve seen you topless, and I’m exhausted
I see your pain
But I just wanna smoke and watch Wednesday

[Outro]
And so the time goes by…I just sit here…comply
And so the time goes by…I just sit here…comply
Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Go go go gums are numb numb numb

[Verse 1]
Gimme the key, bump and go
Gimme something that I need (gimme the key)
A shot to take, crazy and craving more (gimme gimme the key)
Cure the cold with powder and pleasure
And then we’ll run around (gimme the key)
Gimme Catalina
And do you feel me now? (gimme the key)
Off the hook and on the hunt
Still on the prowl (gimme the key)
Gimme Catalina
And do you feel me now?

[Hook]
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now
Go
Gimme that go
Go
Gimme that go

[Verse 2]
On nights like this
In days like these (gimme the key)
Head to toe, I know what I need (gimme the key)
I could stop going if I tried (gimme the key)
Go go go, out ‘till 5, downin’ Monsters to survive
(Go go go) you know? (Go go go)
Do you have somewhere to go?
Got a place for me?

[Bridge]
The man in red
On call
Hand of hell
Burn baby, burn it all (roam)
Go way (Go now, my gums are numb numb)
Like hell, burn baby, burn it all (all all all all all all)

[Outro]
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now (my problem problem problem)
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb
Go now, go now now (later darlin’ burn it all)
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb (now or later, won’t you burn it all)
Go now, go now now, my gums are numb numb (now or later, won’t you burn it all)

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if I missed a sign
If silence spoke too loud between your heart and mine
I see the world much clearer now with time
Ooh, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish you’d found a way
I wish you’d made it through
The sky still holds a space
That should belong to you

[Chorus]
You were made for bigger things, Te Ming
But the world began to close
And the weight of everything, Te Ming
Is a story no one knows

[Verse 2]
I still remember how the moment felt
A sudden shift, the hand fate had dealt
A mix of sorrow, gratitude, and guilt
Ooh, ooh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I wish you’d known real love
I wish you’d felt at peace
The battles deep inside
Should never end like this

[Outro]
You were made for bigger things, Te Ming
But the world began to close
And the weight of everything, Te Ming
Is a story no one knows

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The long days undo me
Holidays leave me bare
The silence is fatal
The shadows are there

[Verse 2]
The fantasies flicker
They left me long ago
Desire was a masquerade
Shame the only show

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Verse 3]
I counted the bodies
The beds, and the names
I traded my tenderness
For a ritual of games
It was not joy, not despair
Just the dullness of years
Asking, how am I still here?

[Verse 4]
Every act leaves its scar
Karma knocks at the door
I meant no cruelty
But cruelty was born
I lie when I rise
I lie when I fall
My house is in ruins
There’s no house at all

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Outro]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This double life was never yours to carry
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Once I lived in shades of sorrow
Every morning looked the same
The baggie and the needle borrowed
All my joy and left me shame
But I walked out past the garden
Where the winter melts to rain
And I saw the world unguarded
All its pleasure, all its pain

[Verse 2]
These stones have whispered stories
These rivers speak my name
What once was dull and endless
Now is wild and uncontained
The rules that used to cage me
Are as fragile as the breeze
And the shame that tried to claim me
Falls like leaves from autumn trees

[Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Like an eagle in the sky
I can see a burst of color
Where I used to crawl and hide
I have time, sweet, endless mercy
And the road runs out of sight
I can walk this path forever
And I don’t mind

[Bridge]
My mind’s a quiet lantern now
It glows but does not burn
I don’t need every answer
It’s enough to live and learn
Each breath, a small redemption
Each heartbeat, something new
I once was blind to wonder
Now the whole world comes in view

[Outro / Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Past the ruins I left behind
I can see a burst of color
And I feel the pulse of time
I will walk this road forever
In the rain or in the shine
And I don’t mind
No, I don’t mind
