I Am Pure Joy


[Intro – airy, breathy, spoken like a rising spell]
You tried to dim me.
Break me.
Tame me.
But I rose laughing—
I am PURE JOY

[Verse 1]
I wear light like second skin
Gold in my lungs, fire within
You said I felt too much, too loud
But I was born to move the crowd

My laughter cracked your quiet room
My tears bloomed flowers in full bloom
You called me storm, I called it choice—
I am the sun behind my voice

[Pre-Chorus – shimmering, ascending]
I don’t glow just to be seen
I blaze because I’ve tasted grief
And made it sing, made it fly
Now I rise
And I reply—

[Chorus – euphoric and grounded]
I am PURE JOY
Not fragile, not fake
Not made to bend or just behave
I shine in color, I move in sound
I lift the broken off the ground
You call it loud, I call it mine—
I am PURE JOY, by fierce design

[Verse 2]
I’ve danced with shame and called it name
Held sorrow close, then loved again
Not light that hides behind a smile
But fire that stays, that dares, that climbs

You can’t contain what dares to bloom
I am the voice that fills the room
No filter, no disguise—
Just soul, and song, and rising skies

[Pre-Chorus – radiant]
I didn’t heal to shrink in place
I healed to laugh in your face
And every scar I ever wore
Now glows
And gives me more

[Chorus – repeated, expanded]
I am PURE JOY
Unshaken and whole
The echo deep inside my soul
I shine in color, I breathe in bloom
I turn the pain into perfume
You call it loud, I call it mine—
I am PURE JOY, by fierce design

[Bridge – whispered, then soaring]
I don’t ask to be allowed
I was born already crowned
No guilt, no mask, no decoy—
Just one wild truth:
I am PURE JOY

[Outro – like rising sun]
Let them tremble. Let them fade.
Let them bow or run away.
I don’t chase
I don’t destroy—
I just exist.
I am PURE JOY.

I Am pure joy

Home of My Heart

First Three Dates (Acoustic)

I see a shadow when you smile
It lingers there
It stays awhile
Behind the mask
A secret's curled
A hidden map to your shattered world

Behind the mask
What do you hide
A stormy sea or a quiet tide
Is it fear
Is it fire
Is it fear
Is it fire
Is it pain inside
Behind the mask
Where do you confide

Embarrassment Saved Me

The Feeling Stays

[Verse 1]
Left the porch light on for you
Kept your flannel, played that tune
Held on like a fool would do
But you were gone too soon

[Pre-Chorus]
Told myself you’d come around
But love don’t echo in this town

[Chorus]
Now I’m walkin’ through your ghost town
Boots on the floor, heart breakin’ down
Your name’s in every wall I touch
But love don’t haunt, not this much
So I’m burnin’ down your ghost town

[Verse 2]
I wore silence like a dress
Bent myself to feel like less
Took the blame, you lit the flame
But baby, I ain't playin’ that game

[Bridge]
I’m not your echo, not your ache
I’m the wildfire you couldn’t break

[Final Chorus]
No more livin’ in your ghost town
I’m the best thing you turned down
You lost me when you let me go
Now I’m the one in control
And I’m burnin’ down your ghost town

This is a raw and uncompromising story about rising from the darkness without help, a map, or a safe path forward. 
The narrator comes from a place where the sun never reaches, where words are kept locked away, shaped by pain and hardships. 
Every line is a scar, every verse an act of survival.

It’s a song about forging your own strength when the world is silent and hostile learning to walk through fire and wearing the burn marks like medals. 
There’s no false glamour here, no pretend allies, just a lone voice that has turned smoke and ash into its own power.

The imagery is dark and powerful: storm clouds moving slowly, truths carved into stone, a name echoing like thunder across the sky. 
The song is both a warning and a triumph and proof that even from the most burned and broken remains, something unshakable can rise.

Enjoy...

Ashes Don´t Cry

Don’t let go 

[Verse 1]
I’m standing here, shaking in the rain
All my defenses crumble with your name
Every step I take, I feel the pull
I’m caught between letting go and losing control
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know how to breathe without you near
Every word I say disappears into fear
[Chorus]
So don’t let go, hold me through the night
Stay here with me, don’t fade from sight
I’m fragile, I’m aching, but I can’t pretend
I need you closer, I need you till the end
[Verse 2]
I’ve built my walls, I’ve played my part
But your touch keeps tearing them apart
The quiet in your eyes says what I can’t speak
I’m not strong enough, I’m not that meek
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know how to breathe without you near
Every word I say disappears into fear
[Chorus]
So don’t let go, hold me through the night
Stay here with me, don’t fade from sight
I’m fragile, I’m aching, but I can’t pretend
I need you closer, I need you till the end
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I’m tryna keep it together, but my mind’s in pieces,
Every thought of you just releases, it increases.
I’m pacing in the dark, counting every heartbeat,
You’re the pulse in my chest I can’t delete.
Told myself I’d be strong, keep my cool in the rain,
But your ghost in my sheets drives me insane.
I’m talkin’ truths I never say out loud,
Lost in your love, swallowed up in the crowd.
Every “stay” you whisper, it’s a lifeline, a rope,
Pulls me from the edge, keeps me hangin’ on hope.
So I’m leaning, I’m bleeding, I confess it all,
I need you, I want you, don’t let me fall.
[Bridge]
Every shadow fades when you’re by my side
Every doubt I have, I no longer hide
So stay… just stay…
Don’t walk away
[Chorus / Outro]
So don’t let go, hold me through the night
Stay here with me, don’t fade from sight
I’m fragile, I’m aching, but I can’t pretend
I need you closer, I need you till the end
Stay… just stay…
Stay… don’t let me go

Don’t let go

Your favorite toy
The doll that broke her jaw
Was the only thing you left me
The bathtub leaks and drips
And hits the tile like a heart attack
I thought that you might call
But you don't know how to be civil
And I've had to find my own way
I wonder if you'd even know my face
I guess it don't matter anyway
You were never gonna get me

I am everything you aren't
And I am everything you wanted
And now I'm wondering
Where you might be
Drowning in concrete

They think you're dead
But I know better
'Cause I saw your ghost
At the bottom of the lake
And you don't look that good
I thought you said
You'd never leave me
Well
You did
I guess it don't matter anyway
You were never gonna get me

I am everything you aren't
And I am everything you wanted
And now I'm wondering
Where you might be
Drowning in concrete

Oh
I'm the ghost that haunts your memories
Oh
I was always gonna be the thing that you need
Oh
I'm the ghost that haunts your memories
Oh
I was always gonna be the thing that you need
Drowning in concrete

I am everything you aren't
And I am everything you wanted
And now I'm wondering
Where you might be
Drowning in concrete

**Defence of My Creative Process **

My music is original work that comes from me—my concepts, my lyrics, my melodies, and my artistic choices. I use digital audio software and plugins, such as, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Ableton & Ace Studio as sound production tools, not as AI to generate music. I shape the sound; the software helps me polish it.

Yes, like many modern production tools, these workstations have AI-assisted features—things like pitch correction, vocal alignment, or mixing suggestions. But those features don’t replace creativity; they simply streamline workflow, the same way autotune, reverb, or mastering plugins have been used in mainstream music for decades.

The essence of my work—its originality, emotion, and storytelling—comes from me. These production tools  don’t create my music, they enhance my sound and give me better control over production quality. My artistry remains human, authentic, and intentional.
