The melody is gentle and the voice is melancholy. I feel the movement of the heart.

Even If It’s In A Dream

In darkness, where the whispers creep
I lay alone attempting sleep
Cursing God and counting sheep
and wondering where you are

The fan blades hum a haunting tune
The clock is warning morning’s soon
My only friends are the silent moon
and streetlights that drown the stars

At the ceiling tiles, I stare
Then shut my eyes and cry a prayer
and beg the Lord to take me there
Even if it’s in a dream 

The screeches of my howls and moans
pierce straight through the cobblestone
A cut much deeper than the bone
echoes through my screams

If I could simply go to bed
I’d find your file inside my head
Archived there so you can’t be dead
But nothing’s as it seems

At the ceiling tiles, I stare
Then shut my eyes and cry a prayer
and beg the Lord to take me there
Even if it’s in a dream 

I fade away to damned December
Maybe I just misremembered
But you linger there like a smoldering ember
whose smoke will never cease 

Outside my door, five gunshots blare
Another reminder that life’s not fair
Now I’m wide awake, guess there’s nowhere
I can rest in peace 

At the ceiling tiles, I stare
Then shut my eyes and cry a prayer
and beg the Lord to take me there
Even if it’s in a dream 

Even if it’s in a dream

even if it’s in a dream

dear diary…

Brooke Justus is a lyricist who burst onto the music scene in June 2024. Since then, she has crafted more than 50 original songs that explore the highs and lows of life with raw honesty, poetic depth, and a touch of whimsy. From the playful romance of Dear Diary to the gut-wrenching vulnerability of Even If It’s In A Dream, her music is as diverse as the emotions that fuel it.

Each song is more than just a melody—it’s an experience, meant to be read as you listen. Hidden within the lyrics are subtle clues, layered meanings, and echoes of other songs, weaving a tapestry of stories that unfold over time. Together, they tell one larger narrative: her unfiltered emotional spectrum, captured in real time. Brooke’s lyrics aren’t just heard—they’re felt and seen, inviting listeners on a journey through love, loss, ambition, and everything in between.
