Someone to Love

This song is a haunting and emotional journey through the depths of inner turmoil and desperation, heavily influenced by the atmospheric and introspective soundscapes of Evanescence. I drew inspiration from their iconic style, even borrowing and reworking a few of my favorite lines from their songs to create something unique and personal. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a love that's real and a deep desire to break free from the darkness and find the way back to oneself. With its soaring vocals and cinematic instrumentation, this song is a poignant exploration of the human experience, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its emotional depths.


LYRICS: 

[Verse] 
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there 

How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there 

[Chorus]
Can you hear the silence screaming?
The emptiness that's echoing and dreaming
Of a love that's real, of a heart that beats
But mine is frozen, locked in defeat
Until you find the key to set me free 

[Bridge]
Maybe in the darkness, there's a light
A beacon calling, guiding me through the night
Maybe I'll find my way, maybe I'll be free
Maybe I'll learn to love, to live, to be me 

[Outro]
Wake me from this endless night
And I'll rise, I'll shine, I'll ignite
The fire that's been burning deep inside
And I'll find my way, I'll be alive.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Hit the highway under starlit skies
Two hearts racing chasing sunrise highs
Wheels spinning stories on this open road
Love’s the engine
Our bond is the code 

[Chorus]
We’re glitching through time
No rearview regret
Beats in our hearts
Destination’s set
Every mile a dance
Every laugh a spark
Riding through the neon till we light the dark 

[Verse 2]
City after city fades in the smoke
Our love’s a wildfire they can't revoke
Radio crackles beats that match our beat
Two souls united driving heat on heat 

[Chorus]
We’re glitching through time
No rearview regret
Beats in our hearts
Destination’s set
Every mile a dance
Every laugh a spark
Riding through the neon till we light the dark 

[Bridge]
Headlights flicker in rhythm to the sound
This techno rush spins the world around
With a loop of your smile
Life’s a setlist tight
Forever on repeat
Love feels so right 

[Chorus]
We’re glitching through time
No rearview regret
Beats in our hearts
Destination’s set
Every mile a dance
Every laugh a spark
Riding through the neon till we light the dark



Road Trip Harmony

Hey guys, I want to talk to you about my new song. It's about being broke and feeling overwhelmed by bills and financial responsibilities. I'm not exactly proud of it, but I'm being honest about my struggles. The song's a bit tongue-in-cheek, with a repetitive chorus that's more about venting frustration than offering solutions. I think we've all been there at some point, struggling to make ends meet, and this song's my way of expressing that feeling. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I was doing good for a little while
Now I'm dodging all my bills like it's a sport
One day soon
They're gonna catch me
And take my phone
Cut off my support 

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm sorry
But I just can't afford it
If it's a little important
Then you're gonna have to wait
And it's on me
'Cause I just don't want it
And you can think what you want
But I just got somethin' to say 

[Chorus]
I ain't gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
I ain't gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
I ain't gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it 

[Verse 2]
First
It's rent and then insurance
And then it's car payments and vet bills and some more
Like
Damn
Is that really important?
And if I pay it
I won't have a place to snore 

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm sorry
But I just can't afford it
If it's a little important
Then you're gonna have to wait
And it's on me
'Cause I just don't want it
And you can think what you want
But I just got somethin' to say 

[Chorus]
I ain't gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
I ain't gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
I ain't gonna pay it
No
I ain't gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it
Not gonna pay it

Not Gonna Pay It

In this song, I'm painting a picture of a world that's been ravaged by fire and destruction, forcing me to escape to the barren landscape of Mars. The lyrics are a reflection on the loss of the world I once knew, and the longing to reconnect with the Earth that's been left behind. I'm exploring the emotional toll of being a refugee in a desolate new world, and the memories of what once was, now shining like stars in the darkness.


[Verse 1]
On Mars
All I know
Dead sky
Frozen snow
Worlds burn
I escape
One light
Through the shade 

[Chorus]
Will I know the Earth again?
Fire turned her dark and red
Memories like stars
Shining from afar 

[Verse]
Mars cold
Still my heart
Faint echoes
Fill the dark
The sun
Comes to end
Last rays
Burn the land 

[Chorus]
Will I know the Earth again?
Fire turned her dark and red
Memories like stars
Shining from afar 

[Verse]
Cold and red
Will I know the Earth again?
Cold and red
Fire turned her dark and red 

[Chorus]
Will I know the Earth again?
Fire turned her dark and red
Memories like stars
Shining from afar

Living on Mars

Hey guys, I wrote this song as a tribute to the vibrant spirit of Cinco de Mayo. It's all about embracing the culture, traditions, and joy that come with this special day. The song is an invitation to let loose, dance, and celebrate with loved ones. I drew inspiration from the rich heritage and music of Mexico, and I hope this song gets you in the fiesta mood and makes you feel like dancing and singing along!


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I wake up to the rhythm of mariachi sound
The scent of tacos and guacamole all around
My abuela's cooking, her secret recipe too
I'm dancing to the beat, got my fiesta mood brand new 

[Pre-Chorus]
Viva la vida, let's celebrate
With every step, our hearts create
A fiesta in every single way
We'll dance the night, in our own sweet way 

[Chorus]
Cinco de mayo, a day to shine
We'll fiesta like there's no decline
With love and joy, we'll take the night
Our spirits high, our hearts alight 

[Verse 2]
The colors of the flag, rojo, blanco, y verde too
We're proud of our heritage, our culture shines through
From mole to mariachi, our traditions are grand
We'll honor our roots, with a fiesta in hand 

[Pre-Chorus]
Viva la vida, let's celebrate
With every step, our hearts create
A fiesta in every single way
We'll dance the night, in our own sweet way 

[Chorus]
Cinco de mayo, a day to shine
We'll fiesta like there's no decline
With love and joy, we'll take the night
Our spirits high, our hearts alight 

[Bridge]
From Puebla to Mexico City, we'll dance with glee
With friends and family, our love will be set free
We'll drink aguas frescas, and eat tacos too
Our fiesta's in full swing, with a heart that's true 

[Chorus]
Cinco de mayo, a day to shine
We'll fiesta like there's no decline
With love and joy, we'll take the night
Our spirits high, our hearts alight 

[Outro]
So let's raise our hands, and give a cheer
For the fiesta that's in our hearts, this year
Cinco de mayo, we'll always adore
The love and joy, that we share, and more.


Fiesta en Mi Corazón (Party in My Heart)

This song is a dark and intense exploration of a complex and mysterious female figure of a certain astrological sign, born from the shadows and driven by a deep-seated desire for power and control. With lyrics that weave together themes of seduction, betrayal, and mortality, this song is a haunting portrayal of a character who's both captivating and destructive. 

I'd like to give special thanks to my musical sis and astrologer, @DJShAnkAri, who helped inspire the lyrics and themes in this song. The music is meant to evoke a sense of foreboding and unease, drawing the listener into a world of darkness and obsession. I hope you find it as captivating as we do.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Born from the fall of a broken star
Virgo’s shadow, bleeding far
Sinking deep in the house of Death
Where every kiss steals your last breath
She craves the fire, she craves the night
Pulls you under just to feel alive 

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent venom in her smile
She'll make you dance for a while
Before she burns your name in scars 

[Chorus]
Poison in her veins, she’s the siren of pain
Craving flesh, craving death — in her eyes, no shame
Control, betrayal — it’s the mark she wears
She'll leave you empty, gasping for air 

[Verse 2]
Seduction, a weapon she wields with grace
Lust and power carved into her face
She'll lure your soul just to watch it break
A lover’s lie, a fatal mistake
Born of duality, slave to the flesh
Every touch a curse she won’t confess 

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent venom in her smile
She'll make you dance for a while
Before she burns your name in scars 

[Chorus]
Poison in her veins, she’s the siren of pain
Craving flesh, craving death — in her eyes, no shame
Control, betrayal — it’s the mark she wears
She'll leave you empty, gasping for air

[Bridge]
Cold-blooded beauty, crowned in decay
She’ll never forget, she’ll never obey
A creature of sorrow, too broken to save
Dancing with ghosts at the edge of the grave 

[Chorus]
Poison in her veins, she’s the siren of pain
Craving flesh, craving death — in her eyes, no shame
Control, betrayal — it’s the mark she wears
She'll leave you empty, gasping for air 

[Verse 3]
She weeps in silence, she strikes in rage
A queen of crisis, locked in her cage
Forgiveness a language she’ll never speak
A thousand grudges, cruel and sleek
Under the surface, the storm will rise
She’ll carve revenge between your lies 

[Chorus]
Poison in her veins, she’s the siren of pain
No mercy, no chains — she's the end of the game
Control, betrayal — it's the vow she swears
She'll leave you dying, gasping for air 

[Outro]
Fall into her shadow, lose your name
Another broken soul — another flame
Poison in her veins...
Poison in her veins...


Poison in Her Veins

This song is a raw and brutal expose of a once great (or so I thought) friendship that turned toxic and sour. The lyrics describe how Erin, who I thought was a kind and supportive friend, revealed her true nature, manipulating and gaslighting me with cruel accusations and lies. She projected her own flaws onto me, and when I called out her behavior, she attacked me even further. The song is a powerful expression of my anger, hurt, and ultimate liberation from the toxic relationship. I'm unflinchingly honest about the pain and betrayal I felt, and the lyrics make it clear that I'm done with her toxic behavior. This song is my way of processing the experience and moving on from the trauma she inflicted on me.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There will not be a third time. 


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
You wore the mask of kindness, played the perfect friend
A shoulder, a savior—then you snapped in the end
Accused me of your damage, threw me in the flame
Projected every wound while screaming my name 

I stayed silent, held my breath
Watched your kindness turn to death
Of every bond I thought was real
You crushed it all beneath your heel 

[Pre-Chorus]
You tore my name with poisoned lies
Gaslit truth behind your cries 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Verse 2]
You said the meds made you cold
That it wasn't you who lost control
But once the mask slid off again
You fed me venom like a friend 

Twisted tales to shared allies
Then blamed me for your own disguise
Truth was never yours to keep
Just buried where your guilt runs deep 

[Pre-Chorus]
You tore my name with poisoned lies
Gaslit truth behind your cries 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Verse 3]
You swore you cared, but used me twice
A cycle wrapped in sugar and ice
Said you were broken, bruised, undone
But I’m the wreck left when you’re gone 

You called me cruel for feeling pain
Spit on my name, then played insane
But I won’t bleed to soothe your storm
I’m done with monsters in reform 

[Bridge]
Now I see you clear, through the rot and flame
Not a friend, just a ghost with someone else’s name
I grieve the girl I thought I knew
But this nightmare? I’m through with you 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Chorus]
You’re not the one I knew
A shadow broke straight through
I see the fangs beneath your grin
Imposter in her skin
You bled me dry, then begged for peace
But your chaos never ceased
You play the saint while drowning sin
Imposter in her skin 

[Outro]
No more tears, no more lies
I watch the imposter die
And though I walk alone again—
At least I walk free from your venom


Imposter in Her Skin

This song is about my frustration with insomnia and how it feels like everyone else can fall asleep with ease. I'm venting about my own struggles to sleep, but I'm also lashing out at others, wishing they could experience the same wakefulness that I'm going through. The lyrics are a mix of desperation and anger, as I urge others to stay awake and watch me suffer. It's a raw expression of the emotional toll that insomnia can take, and the feeling of being isolated in my wakefulness. The song is a reflection of my own pain and frustration, and the desire to not be alone in my sleeplessness.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Hey
Wake up now
Are you even awake or sleeping?
Keep your eyes wide open
Just stay awake for me
I know I will close mine in serenity 

[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot sleep now
It is too early for me to go under 

[Chorus]
Open your eyes now
Do not go to sleep yet
Don't you dare fall asleep
Open your eyes
Keep watching me
Time does not run on you 

[Verse 2]
Faster
Curse you
Stay awake
Bitter
I cannot sleep now
It is too early for me to go under 

[Chorus]
Open your eyes now
Do not go to sleep yet
Don't you dare fall asleep
Open your eyes
Keep watching me
Time does not run on you 

[Bridge]
Open your eyes now
Don't you dare fall asleep yet
Open your eyes
Stay awake for me
Open your eyes
Watch my unliving pain


Can't Sleep

This song started as a reflection on the conversations I've had with my friend @DJShAnkAri about our mothers and how they would distort the truth to make themselves the heroes. It's about the blurred lines between truth and fiction and the devastating consequences of living a lie. 

As I was writing the lyrics, I found it was also exactly like my ex-friend Erin as well. Since it's also about the brutal exposure of toxic dynamics, where someone's mask of innocence is shattered, revealing the truth behind their actions. 

For me, it's personal - it's about our mothers, but also about Erin who turned on me, projecting her own flaws onto me, and then rewriting the narrative to fit her own twisted version of reality. But it's also about something deeper - the way people can convince themselves of their own lies and the damage that does to themselves and others. 

This song is my truth, my anger, and my refusal to let the lies stand. It's a call out to anyone who's been hurt by someone's deceit and a reminder that the truth will always find a way to the surface.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
You speak like a martyr wrapped in grace
But I remember the blood on your face
Twisting the tale with a trembling smile
You burned the truth to survive the trial 

Shadows curl where the silence grew
You wear the mask like it’s always been true
But I was there when the sky went black
Your hands pushed first — there’s no turning back 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Verse 2]
Pages smudged where the guilt should be
The ink runs cold, but you still can't see
Your voice shakes with a hollow cry
Begging for peace while you crucify 

Was it too dark to face the light?
Or did you choose to forget the night?
Memory fades, but pain holds on
And I’m still here when the curtains are gone 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Bridge]
Do you sleep with the ghosts you made?
Does your mind rewind or just evade?
Is it your soul that can’t confess
Or a shattered mind in self-defense? 

[Verse 3]
Mirror cracked but still reflects
The hero born of your regrets
But I see the scars beneath the veil
The silence where you chose to fail 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Verse 4]
I traced your footprints through the flame
Each step a curse, each lie a name
You built your truth from fractured glass
But every shard still cuts the past 

[Chorus]
Who rewrote the ending, tore out the screams?
Painted your sins with innocent dreams?
Is it mercy or madness behind your eyes?
Truth drowns in the echoes of your lies
You’re the villain dressed in your own disguise 

[Outro]
The silence screams where your shadow passed
Every promise burned, never meant to last
Ashes of hope in the wind remain
Echoes of love now twisted with pain
Whispers fade in the ruins you made
But memories rot where the truth decayed
You called it healing, I call it a crime
But you can't outrun the veil of the mind


Veil of the Mind

This song is about the importance of guiding and nurturing the next generation with love, kindness, and empathy. It's a heartfelt message about the values we pass on to our children, and the impact that our actions and words can have on shaping their world. The lyrics emphasize the importance of teaching children to stand strong, be respectful, and lead with compassion, while also showing them that they have the strength and potential to make a positive difference. It's a song about the power of love and example-setting in helping children grow into confident, empathetic, and resilient individuals.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Plant the seeds in the soil below
Water them with the love you show
Teach them kindness let it grow
Shining bright where dark won’t go 

[Chorus]
Teach them to stand hearts open wide
Show them the strength they’ve got inside
Respect’s a flag they’ll raise up high
Lead by example and touch the sky
And touch the sky 

[Verse 2]
Show them how to hold their ground
Without a scream or shouting sound
Words like rivers gentle and bold
Can shape a world and hearts of gold 

[Bridge]
Pull the curtains teach no lies
Let truth sparkle in their eyes
Empathy their guiding start
It’s love that binds no matter how far
No matter how far 

[Verse 3]
Let their fears fade into dreams
Push the shadows through sunbeams
Every voice deserves its space
Lift them up to embrace grace 

[Chorus]
Teach them to stand hearts open wide
Show them the strength they’ve got inside
Respect’s a flag they’ll raise up high
Lead by example and touch the sky
And touch the sky

Teach Them

This song is a raw and intense reflection of my experience with Erin, a friend who turned out to be toxic and manipulative. The lyrics describe how she wore a mask of kindness, but beneath it, she was cruel and deceitful. She hurt me with poisonous words, played the victim, and twisted the truth. When I called out her behavior, she attacked me further and even tried to enlist a mutual friend to validate her false accusations. That friend saw the truth and also ended her friendship with Erin. This song is my way of processing the pain and betrayal I felt, and ultimately finding the strength to break free from the toxic dynamic. The music is dark, emotive, and haunting, with a focus on capturing the anger and hurt I felt. Through this song, I'm taking back control and rising above the pain, refusing to be fooled or manipulated any further.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There will not be a third time. 


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
In the mirror's gaze, a reflection lies
A facade of friendship, a disguise 

[Verse 1]
I thought you were my shelter, my guiding light
But behind the mask, a monster took flight
Poisonous words, a venomous sting
You turned on me, and my heart took wing 

[Pre-Chorus]
You wore a cloak of kindness, but beneath the surface
Lurked a demon, fueled by malice and force
You played the victim, twisted the truth
But I saw through the lies, when the mask fell off, showing your uncouth 

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of betrayal, a whisper in the night
A promise broken, a heart turned cold as ice
You're a ghost of what we had, a memory that won't fade
A lesson learned, a bond that's been betrayed 

[Verse 2]
You apologized, with tears and regret
But the damage was done, the wound won't forget
You blamed it on pills, a temporary slip
But the pattern remained, a toxic grip 

[Pre-Chorus]
You wore a cloak of kindness, but beneath the surface
Lurked a demon, fueled by malice and force
You played the victim, twisted the truth
But I saw through the lies, when the mask fell off, showing your uncouth 

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of betrayal, a whisper in the night
A promise broken, a heart turned cold as ice
You're a ghost of what we had, a memory that won't fade
A lesson learned, a bond that's been betrayed 

[Bridge]
I'm done with the pain, done with the lies
I'm breaking free from the chains that bind
I'll rise up from the ashes, like a phoenix born
I'll find my strength, and I won't be torn 

[Verse 3]
You showed your true face, and it was cold
A stranger's eyes, a heart of gold turned old
You tried to manipulate, to twist and to blame
But I won't be fooled, I won't play the game 

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of betrayal, a whisper in the night
A promise broken, a heart turned cold as ice
You're a ghost of what we had, a memory that won't fade
A lesson learned, a bond that's been betrayed 

[Outro]
I'm free from the chains, I'm free from the pain
I'll find my way, I'll rise again
No more shadows, no more lies
I'll shine my light, and I'll survive.


A Lesson Learned

This song is about the absurdity and toxicity of gossip. It's a commentary on how rumors can spread like wildfire, twisting and turning through a long chain of people, each adding their own spin. The lyrics follow a ridiculous game of telephone, where a story about someone's supposed infidelity and questionable taste gets distorted and exaggerated as it passes from person to person. The song is a tongue-in-cheek critique of how people can claim to be looking out for someone's best interests while actually just spreading hurtful and unverified information. It's about the blurred lines between truth and rumor, and the damage that gossip can do to relationships and reputations. The tone is playful, yet biting, with a dash of sarcasm and frustration.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I got a phone call
Late last night
Said he saw you kissing
A friend of mine
And he went on and on
About how he's known all along
That I could do so much better 

[Pre-Chorus]
Then he said
"Please don't get upset
We haven't met yet
But I think you should know" 

[Chorus]
I heard about you from my brother
He heard about you from his friend
Who heard about you from his mother
She said she thought you were a ten
Then she told her cousin Sally
And Sally's boyfriend
Al
Was there
Who heard it from his sister
Suzy
Who heard it from my sister
Claire 

[Post-Chorus]
And Claire said
"I was better off"
But who can you trust when you run your mouth off?
But who can you trust when you run your mouth off?
But who can you trust when you run your mouth off?
But who can you trust when you run your mouth off? 

[Verse 2]
He kept on going
With his report
Said he heard you told someone
I'm bad in bed
And that you like my friend
I was thinking that this might end
And he was only halfway through his list 

[Pre-Chorus]
Then he said
"Please don't get upset
We haven't met yet
But I think you should know"

Run Your Mouth Off

This song is about the ebbs and flows of life, and how we navigate the constant changes that come our way. For me, it's a reflection on the paradox of life - some things remain steady and familiar, while others are always shifting and evolving. The repetition in the lyrics is almost like a meditation, a reminder to just keep moving forward, even when things get tough. The song is about finding a way to tap into your own inner strength and resilience, and just keeping on living, no matter what life throws your way. It's a simple yet powerful message that I hope resonates with you.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Some things never change
Some things never stay the same
Some things never change
Some things never stay the same 

[Chorus]
And I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin' 

[Verse 2]
In my darkest days
In my darkest hour
I try to find a way
To find my power 

[Chorus]
And I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin' 

[Verse 3]
Some things never change
Some things never stay the same
Some things never change
Some things never stay the same 

[Chorus]
And I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin'
I just keep on livin'


Living Life

This song is a heartfelt ode to the profound connection I share with my cats. It's a reflection on the way they bring peace and comfort to my life, and how their love and devotion cut through the chaos and darkness. The lyrics are woven with imagery and metaphors that capture the mystical and intimate nature of our bond, from the way they seem to sense my emotions to the quiet moments we share together in the still of the night. For me, this song is about the transformative power of love and companionship, and how my cat's presence has become an essential part of my life. It's a celebration of the beauty and magic that animals bring to our lives, and the deep sense of connection and understanding that we share with them.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Eyes of a stormy night
Paws that trace the moon
Whispers in the silence
Your love a dark monsoon 

[Verse 2]
Shadow on the bedroom floor
Eerie whispers through the door
Guardian in the midnight hour
Soft fur our secret power 

[Chorus]
In your eyes find my peace
Through the veil of night we breathe
Your love cuts through like a knife
Pet’s devotion conquers life 

[Bridge]
Silent winds under your feet
Howling skies when our gazes meet
Echoes in the haunted air
With you every moment fair 

[Verse 3]
Howling stars fleet through the sky
Eternal bond no need to try
Hands and paws like dark magic lace
In this cryptic
Loving space 

[Chorus]
In your eyes find my peace
Through the veil of night we breathe
Your love cuts through like a knife
Pet’s devotion conquers life

In Your Eyes

This song is a personal reflection on mortality and the legacy I hope to leave behind. I'm asking my loved ones to celebrate the life I lived, rather than mourning my passing. The lyrics are a bittersweet reflection on the memories I've made, the love I've shared, and the beauty of the world I'll leave behind. I'm encouraging those I love to hold onto the good times, to find strength and hope in the memories we made together, and to let my legacy be a light in the darkness. I want this song to be played at my funeral as a final message of love and hope to all my family and friends who attend my funeral.

*Side note: This song and 'Leave the Light' 
https://on.soundcloud.com/X4eA6djFjzUg1gtGxV were both born one night while watching a movie, and during a funeral scene, the song brought me to tears.  I thought how cool it would be to leave some final messages to my loved ones with my own songs. Especially since none of them listen to my songs now. Why not force them to after I'm gone? LOL


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the silence of my final night
I'll think of all the loved ones I'll leave behind
The memories of laughter, tears, and fights
Will echo through my mind, a bittersweet refrain 

[Chorus]
When my time comes, let the sun shine bright
Don't gather 'round to mourn the night
Celebrate the life that I lived with glee
And let the memories of me set your hearts free 

[Verse 2]
I'll miss the warmth of summer's gentle breeze
The smell of autumn leaves, the stars up in the trees
The way the world awakens, full of life and sound
All these things will fade, and I'll be lost, underground 

[Chorus]
When my time comes, let the sun shine bright
Don't gather 'round to mourn the night
Celebrate the life that I lived with glee
And let the memories of me set your hearts free 

[Bridge]
In the darkness, I'll find my way
To a place where love will never fade
But for you, my loved ones, I'll always stay
In the memories we made, in the love we shared each day 

[Verse 3]
I'll leave behind the fragments of my heart
The pieces of my soul, the love that we impart
Don't let my passing be a heavy weight
Just hold on to the good times, and let the memories create 

[Chorus]
When my time comes, let the sun shine bright
Don't gather 'round to mourn the night
Celebrate the life that I lived with glee
And let the memories of me set your hearts free 

[Outro]
When I'm gone, don't let me be forgot
Just live on, and let my memory be what
Gives you strength, gives you hope, gives you light
In the darkness of night.


When I'm Gone

This song is about letting go, but not losing the connection that once was. It's a gentle goodbye, a soft retreat from the world of the living, where I'm trying to comfort those I'll leave behind. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of mortality, love, and memory, with me reassuring my loved ones that even in death, I'll still be present, watching over them. The song's message is one of hope and reassurance, a reminder that even when I'm gone, my love and presence can still be felt. I'm writing this for those I love, and I'm asking that it be played at my funeral someday, as a final message of love and comfort to those who will remain. 

*Side note: This song and 'When I'm Gone' 
https://on.soundcloud.com/bdHZkzMxrOeGLxe1aC were born one night while watching a movie, and during a funeral scene, the song brought me to tears.  I thought how cool it would be to leave some final messages to my loved ones with my own songs. Especially since none of them listen to my songs now. Why not force them to after I'm gone? LOL


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I walked slow through the long goodbye
With a smile I wore just to hide the cry
And I gave more than I ever said
Now the wind can carry
What I left unsaid 

[Pre-Chorus]
But don’t you cry when the morning breaks
I’ll be the hush in the breath you take 

[Chorus]
Leave the light on in the hall
I’m just beyond the quiet call
And if the silence feels too wide
Know I’m still walking by your side
This isn’t the end, just a soft retreat
Where broken hearts and angels meet 

[Verse 2]
I wrote the songs that made me whole
In the corners of my soul
I gave them names and let them be
Now they’re stars you’ll see
When you think of me 

[Pre-Chorus]
But don’t you cry when the shadows fall
I’m not lost—I just heard a softer call 

[Chorus]
Leave the light on in the hall
I’m just beyond the quiet call
And if the silence feels too wide
Know I’m still walking by your side
This isn’t the end, just a soft retreat
Where broken hearts and angels meet 

[Verse 3]
Tell the ones I loved I tried
To hold the fire, to stay the tide
But some goodbyes don’t come too soon
They rise like tides
And fall like moons 

[Bridge]
I was never meant to stay too long
But I hope you carry my quiet song
Let it echo when the days feel wrong
And remember me when you feel strong 

[Chorus]
Leave the light on in the hall
I’m just beyond the quiet call
And if the silence feels too wide
Know I’m still walking by your side
This isn’t the end, just a soft retreat
Where broken hearts and angels meet 

[Chorus – final]
Leave the light on in the hall
Let it warm your heart through all
And when you dance beneath the sky
Know I’m the wind that’s drifting by
This isn’t goodbye, just love set free
Where broken hearts and angels meet 

[Outro]
Where broken hearts and angels meet...
Leave the light… just leave the light on for me...

Leave the Light

This song is a raw and haunting exploration of the darkness that can consume us when we're lost and searching for answers. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and disorientation, as we grapple with the unknown and struggle to find our footing. It's a powerful expression of the human experience, where doubt and fear can be overwhelming, and the search for truth and meaning becomes a haunting and all-consuming quest. As we question the existence of a higher power and wonder if God is just a myth.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
My mind is fallin' to pieces
And all the sound is defeanin'
All of my voices are demons
Now I'm questionin'
Is there a God among men?
I know he walks among us
As I'm sinkin' into madness
Oh
I'm prayin' for us

[Chorus]
As I sink into madness
God is just a myth
I'm searchin' for an answer
Does he exist?
As I sink into madness
God is just a myth
I'm searchin' for an answer
Does he exist?

[Post-Chorus]
My mind is fallin' to pieces
And all the sound is defeanin'
All of my voices are demons
Now I'm questionin'
Is there a God among men?
I know he walks among us
As I'm sinkin' into madness
Oh
I'm prayin' for us

[Verse 2]
God among men
A god among men
I know he walks among us
As I'm sinkin' into madness
Oh
I'm prayin' for us

[Chorus]
As I sink into madness
God is just a myth
I'm searchin' for an answer
Does he exist?
As I sink into madness
God is just a myth
I'm searchin' for an answer
Does he exist?



A God Among Men

This song is about feeling trapped and desperate to escape the darkness that's closing in. I imagine a garden that's not as peaceful as it seems, but rather a place where lost souls linger. The message is urgent, a warning to run for your life before it's too late. The rhythm is intense, building up a sense of panic and fear. I hope you can feel the energy and the desperation in the music.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I am here in the garden
I know I'm not alone
So many lost souls
Stuck in limbo 

[Verse 2]
Gonna get you on the move
You need to run fast
No need to ask
Run for your life 

[Chorus]
For your life
Run
Run
For your life
Run
Run 

[Verse 3]
Hurry up
Time is running out
Feel the dark close in
Do you hear the sound 

[Chorus]
For your life
Run
Run
For your life
Run
Run 

[Bridge]
Here they come
They're behind you
Better go
Better run
Better hide
Better hide

Run for Your Life

This song is about the frustrations and betrayals that artists face in the digital age, particularly with music streaming platforms like SoundCloud. I was recently hit hard when my total play count suddenly dropped by half, with hundreds of plays vanishing from each song seemingly overnight. I've heard about three other artists that have had this happen to them as well.  It was a stark reminder of the lack of control and transparency artists have over their own work. The lyrics highlight the issues of transparency and fairness in counting streams and paying royalties, and how these systems can be manipulated to the detriment of the artists. It's a call to action, demanding justice and fairness for creators, and emphasizing the importance of honesty and integrity in the way our work is valued and compensated. 

This song is a protest against SoundCloud's exploitation of artists and a plea for a more equitable system that respects the value of our work. 

Let me know with a comment, if this has happened to you as well. I emailed SC but never received a reply as usual. 😡


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the shadows, numbers fade
A silent theft, a hidden shade
Hundreds of thousands, a count so fine
Now halved in an instant, left to decline 

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 2]
Months of silence, a meager pay
A measly amount, for a lifetime's sway
The system's broken, the trust is worn
As the counts are manipulated, and the truth is torn 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 3]
SoundCloud's ledger, a dishonest page
Where our hard work's worth is rewritten in their stage
The fire that burns, within our hearts
Is fueled by passion, and a work of art 

[Bridge]
We're not just numbers, we're not just plays
We're the heartbeat, of a creative way
We're the voices, that speak to the soul
Don't silence us, don't take control 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Outro]
SoundCloud, your name is tied to shame
There should be justice, a reckoning to claim
Artists demand, a fair and honest share
You should do right by us, show you care.



Fractured Counts

This song is about resilience and determination. It's about being broken, battered, and bruised, but refusing to let those experiences define me. I've been through the flames, but I'm still burning, still standing. The song is a declaration of strength, a refusal to be defeated or silenced. It's about rising above the pain and the noise, and finding a voice that's born from fire. I'm unbroken, I'm untamed, and I'm still standing, and that's a message I want to share with all of you.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I've been to the edge, I've been to the floor
I've been broken, but I'm walking out the door
I've been lied to, I've been cheated
But I won't let it define me, no, I won't be defeated 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 2]
I've been to the darkness, I've been to the night
I've been searching for a light, a beacon in the fight
I've been trying to find my way, through the noise and the pain
But I won't let it break me, no, I won't be chained 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 3]
I’ve been called too much, been told to hush
Felt the world try to crush me with every push
But I scream louder, I rise higher
You can't drown a voice that's born from fire 

[Bridge]
So go ahead and write me off again
Say I'm too wild, too fierce, too much to mend
But every scar is just proof I lived
And every fall gave me more to give 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Outro]
Still standing, still burning
Still fierce, still learning
I’m unbroken — yeah, I’m still standing

Still Standing

This song is a haunting reflection on the suffocating grip of depression in a hyper-connected world. The lyrics navigate the paradox of feeling isolated despite being constantly online, where the ease of ordering everything can become a coping mechanism that further exacerbates feelings of emptiness. The song also shines a light on the harsh realities of mental health care, where the cost of seeking help can be prohibitively expensive, leaving those who need it most to suffer in silence. Through the lens of personal struggle, the song critiques a society that prioritizes consumerism over genuine human connection, highlighting the tension between seeking comfort and being confined by our own devices and societal expectations. Ultimately, it's a powerful exploration of the human desire to break free from the stigma surrounding mental health and to reclaim a sense of purpose and meaning in a world that often seems to value neither.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I'm sinking deep, the covers hold me tight,
Outside the world is shining, I'm blind to the light.
Scrolling through the days, lost in a screen,
They say I'm connected, but I feel so unseen.
Is it comfort or a cage I built so high? 

[Chorus]
Awake but I'm dreaming, lost in my head,
With every new order, I’m further misled.
They say I should seek help, but the price is too steep,
So I bury my sorrow beneath layers of sleep. 

[Verse 2]
Packages arrive, but the emptiness stays,
Every click I make just fades me away.
Mental health whispers in a money-driven game,
But the ones who need help can’t afford the shame.
I wish they'd listen, find ways to heal, 

[Chorus]
Awake but I'm dreaming, lost in my head,
With every new order, I’m further misled.
They say I should seek help, but the price is too steep,
So I bury my sorrow beneath layers of sleep. 

[Outro]
In this silent battle, I wish to reclaim,
The hope that I'm seeking, the courage to change.

Behind Closed Eyes

This song is a heartfelt tribute to the dads who show up, who are present, and who love their daughters unconditionally. I wish I could sing this song to my own dad, but unfortunately, I just can't. Instead, I'd like to dedicate it to all the women out there who were lucky enough to have a daddy who was always there for them, who taught them valuable lessons, and who showered them with love and support. It's a celebration of the special bond between a father and daughter, and I hope it resonates with all the daughters out there who feel seen and loved by their dads.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I remember
I was so small
And I'd jump up in your arms
And I'd say "Daddy"
I'd hold on so tight
"Don't let me go" I'd say
And you'd laugh and hold me close
And I'd smile
And say "I love you
Daddy" 

[Chorus]
Well
I'm all grown up now
And things have changed
I have children of my own
But I'm still your little girl
And I still hold on tight
And I just want to say
"Happy Father's Day" 

[Verse 2]
You taught me how to ride a bike
You taught me how to fish
You took me to games
And you played with me
You helped me with my homework
And you told me you loved me
And you held me close
And you told me everything would be alright 

[Chorus]
Well
I'm all grown up now
And things have changed
I have children of my own
But I'm still your little girl
And I still hold on tight
And I just want to say
"Happy Father's Day" 

[Bridge]
You were always there for me
When I needed you
And I'm so glad you're still here with me now
And I love you more than words could say 

[Chorus]
Well
I'm all grown up now
And things have changed
I have children of my own
But I'm still your little girl
And I still hold on tight
And I just want to say
"Happy Father's Day"

Daddy's Little Girl

This song is a powerful tribute to Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. The lyrics weave together themes of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of a more just world, drawing on historical references and personal reflections. The song's message is one of unity and empowerment, urging listeners to lift their voices and continue the fight for truth and love.


LYRICS; 

[Intro]
I did not walk the fields.
I did not carry the chains.
But I see the marks they left.
And I will not turn away.
This day is not mine to claim—
But it is mine to honor.
So I stand… with open hands,
To learn, to lift, to listen.

[Verse 1]
June nineteenth, the chains were broken,
Texas heard the trumpet sound.
From the fields, a truth was spoken—
"Let the lost be truly found."
Hope had burned through generations,
Now it blazed with sacred light.
Freedom’s song and revelation
Woke the dawn from darkest night.

[Pre-Chorus]
We stand beside the ones who came,
Lifting high their rightful name.

[Chorus]
Still you rise, from pain to power,
Stronger with each sacred hour.
We lift our voice, let justice ring,
Joined in purpose, hear us sing.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

This is not just history.
It’s breath.
It’s blood.
It’s names I never knew—
But owe.
It’s freedom declared… and still chased.
And I?
I carry no torch.
But I will guard its flame.

[Verse 2]
Fields of sorrow, rivers weeping,
Stories carved in blood and stone.
Through the grief, a flame was keeping
Hope alive that’s now full-grown.
Marching forward, bound together,
Chains behind and stars ahead,
We remember now, and ever,
Every word the martyrs said.

[Pre-Chorus ]
We honor those who lit the way,
And walk beside them still today.

[Chorus]
Still you rise, from pain to power,
Stronger with each sacred hour.
We lift our voice, let justice ring,
Joined in purpose, hear us sing.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

I see you.
Not as shadows of a struggle,
But as the light that broke through it.
You are not a chapter—
You are the authors.
And I will not rewrite the story.
I will echo it.
Amplify it.
Protect it.

[Verse 3]
Now we learn the deeper meaning
Of a freedom hard and won—
Not just ink in books we're reading,
But a fire that lights the sun.
Every march and every trial,
Every name that’s held with care—
Builds a world where peace and justice
Answer every fervent prayer.

[Bridge]
We remember every story,
Speak the names with sacred pride.
Truth and love will write the glory
That no hatred can divide.

[Final Chorus]
Still you rise, still we stand,
Side by side, and hand in hand.
Marching on through every storm,
In this truth, we are transformed.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

[Outro]
I will not claim your crown.
But I will walk behind your banner.
And as long as justice has a song—
I will sing it.
Not for me…
But with you.

Still You Rise (Juneteenth Anthem)

This song is about feeling trapped and lost in life, and struggling with the pressures and expectations that come with it. The lyrics touch on themes of insecurity, desperation, and frustration, particularly with the way society values appearance and relationships. It's a raw and emotional expression of the pain and darkness that can come from feeling like you're not good enough, and the desire to escape from the weight of it all. The song is a reflection of my own feelings of frustration and disillusionment, and I hope it resonates with you on a deep level.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the mirror's your best friend
Until your looks begin to fade
Then you're no one's special friend
And you wish you could be saved 

[Verse 2]
From this stupid little life
From your boyfriend and your wife
From the razor and the knife
And from everything you love 

[Verse 3]
Your mom says it's alright
But you still cry at night
No
You can't see the light
You're in the darkest part of life 

[Chorus]
So fuck this stupid life
No one gets it right
You do what you can do
But then you go and die 

[Verse 1]
In the mirror's your best friend
Until your looks begin to fade
Then you're no one's special friend
And you wish you could be saved 

[Verse 2]
From this stupid little life
From your boyfriend and your wife
From the razor and the knife
And from everything you love

Cry at Night

This song is a heartfelt and introspective ballad that explores the complexities of a deep, spiritual connection between two people who couldn't quite bridge the gap between their understanding of love. Inspired by ShAnkAri's story, the lyrics delve into the pain and longing that can come from loving someone who doesn't see or believe in the same way. It's a poignant reflection on the power of love to reshape our souls, even when it's not reciprocated in the way we hope. 

I'd like to thank the incredible @DJShAnkAri for sharing her story and inspiring this song, and for her input into this piece. Also for her amazing remix...

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I whispered in stardust, I prayed through the skies
You felt like a lifetime behind unseen eyes
I reached with my soul, no distance too far
But you never saw me—you just traced the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I loved you, not loud but true
In silence, in symbols, in all I knew

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 2]
I studied your shadows, I learned every sign
In a language of longing, outside of time
You held the map, but looked away
Afraid of a path you didn’t create

[Pre-Chorus]
I sent you light in a world gone dim
You thought it was just the wind

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 3]
Is love a gesture, or is it a vow? 
Is it holding on, or letting go now? 
You wanted proof in a different form 
And I was the rain—you needed the storm

[Chorus]
We both said “I love you” 
But not in the same voice 
You meant protection 
I meant choice 
You meant fire 
I meant grace 
We loved in totally different space 
And that’s how even soulmates break— 
When meanings don’t translate

[Bridge]
Maybe you thought love must be proven
With bodies and years, not a soul that’s been chosen
But just because we never met
Doesn’t mean I could forget
You were the pulse beneath my breath

[Chorus]
Still you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul

[Chorus]
You never believed me
Not once, not truly
You stayed behind reason
While I loved you purely
Like a prayer with no ending
Like a vow with no sound
But you never turned around
You never believed me

[Outro]
And maybe you never will
But I loved you still

[Post-Outro] 
We all carry our own definition 
And none of us ask permission 
To love the way we understand 
Even if no one takes our hand... 

You Never Believed Me

This song is a raw and emotional love letter to my younger self, a message of hard-earned wisdom and vulnerable strength. I'm looking back on the struggles and mistakes I made, and I want to tell my younger self to stand strong, to not compromise who you are to fit someone else's idea of what's acceptable. The song is about embracing your true self, your worth, and your voice, and not letting the world dim your light. It's a message of empowerment, of self-love, and of rising above the expectations and judgments of others. I'm urging myself, and anyone who's listening, to be brave, to shine, and to be unapologetically who you are.

*Fun fact: Both the present-day and young Vicky in this painting are based on real photos of me!  You probably recognize the present me, but I thought you all might think it's cool to know that my 5-year-old self is also captured here as well. 👧😍


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Hey little wildflower, knees all scraped
You dream in thunder, but you're taught to wait
They’ll call you too loud, too much, too free
But don't let the world rewrite your story 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna run, I know you're scared to fall
But baby, trust your gut—don't listen when they call
You trouble just for shining like the sun 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 2]
You're gonna wear shame like it's a dress
Swallowing dreams you can't confess
But guilt was never meant for girls like you
You were born with fire, not to be subdued 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you think it’s love when it hurts the most
But you don’t need to bleed just to feel close
You're worthy even when you walk alone 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 3]
You're gonna dance with all your fears
Fall apart for all the wrong careers
But keep your heart, don’t sell it cheap
And never trade your voice for sleep 

[Bridge]
Tattoo your truth on every scar
You’re not broken—just battle-marked
The world’s gonna try to shrink your flame
But baby, rise and burn the same 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Chorus]
Don’t be me, don’t bend and break
Don’t give your magic for their sake
You’re already gold beneath the skin
Let the girl you are begin again 

[Outro]
So dance, little wildflower—dance and scream
Be the girl I lost in chasing dreams
Don’t be me
Don’t be me

Don’t Be Me

This song is a tongue-in-cheek, playful anthem about embracing individuality and confidence. It's a sarcastic response to those who might try to one-up or compare themselves to others, with a dash of humor and a healthy dose of swagger. I'm poking fun at the idea of "coolness" and the absurdity of trying to prove oneself, all while showcasing a carefree and cheeky attitude.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I got a hole in my socks
But at least I rock
Better than you ever did
I've been a number of things
And seen some unbelievable things
That would make your head spin

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause
Baby
I know
I've seen a UFO
I've been abducted before
And I can prove it to you
But
Baby
I won't
No
Baby
I don't
I don't have anything to show
Because I'm cooler than you

[Chorus]
Cooler than you
I'm cooler than you
I'm cooler than you
I'm cooler than you

[Verse 2]
My name is Chloe with a C-H
I will dance circles 'round you
With your J.D. and your B.A
If you want to be friends
I know a number of people
Who might let you be in the band

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause
Baby
I know
I've seen a UFO
I've been abducted before
And I can prove it to you
But
Baby
I won't
No
Baby
I don't
I don't have anything to show
Because I'm cooler than you

[Chorus]
Cooler than you
I'm cooler than you
I'm cooler than you
I'm cooler than you


I'm Cooler Than You

This song is a deeply personal exploration of the complexities of creativity, ego, and the human experience. The entire concept was born from the mind of my friend @DJShAnkAri, who shared with me her thoughts on the pain of being an originator, only to see her ideas and influences go unacknowledged. I was inspired to take her ideas and craft them into a song, and I'm proud to give her co-writing credit for this piece. 

The song grapples with the tension between artistic expression and the desire for recognition, as well as the struggle to transcend the ego and find freedom from the trappings of pride and fame. At its core, the song is about the power of beauty to both inspire and ensnare us, and the importance of learning to witness our own experiences rather than becoming mired in them. 

Through the lyrics, I aim to capture the nuances of this inner conflict, and the ways in which our experiences shape us, even as we strive to rise above them. The song is an invitation to reflect on the nature of creativity, identity, and the human condition, and to find a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I saw myself in someone else’s lines
Unspoken echoes dressed in borrowed rhymes
They never turned to say my name
But still I burn and feel the same
A quiet theft, a silent sting
Why does the source feel everything? 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it’s ego, just a shell
But in that shell I often dwell
The pain’s a mirror—clear and cold
Still, I don't know how to let it go 

[Chorus]
Beauty holds me like a flame
I turn from pride, I turn from fame
But this one trap I can't escape
She wears my wounds, she knows my shape
I could be higher, I could be free
But beauty won’t let go of me 

[Verse 2]
Aloysius in the shadow’s grace
Unnamed fathers lost without a trace
We feel, we shape, we spark, we bleed
Yet never called the root, the seed
I should stand outside this game
But even ghosts can burn with shame 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it’s ego, just a role
A mask that hides the monad’s soul
Still I confuse what I create
With who I am—and that's the bait 

[Chorus]
Beauty holds me like a flame
I turn from pride, I turn from fame
But this one trap I can't escape
She wears my wounds, she knows my shape
I could be higher, I could be free
But beauty won’t let go of me 

[Verse 3]
We are gods inside these scars
Drifting truth in jars of stars
The soul still wrestles with the clay
But learns to watch, not slip away
To feel, then filter, pain from grace
To love the art, but not the face 

[Bridge]
Be the witness, not the war
Don't need applause to mean you're more
In silence lies the deepest truth
Creation doesn’t ask for proof 

[Chorus]
Beauty holds me like a flame
I turn from pride, I turn from fame
But this one trap I can't escape
She wears my wounds, she knows my shape
I could be higher, I could be free
But beauty won’t let go of me 

[Chorus]
Beauty holds me like a flame
I let it hurt, I let it name
But then I step beyond the fire
Become the void, the quiet choir
I could be higher, I choose to be
Even if beauty won’t set me free 

[Outro]
I feel, I fall, I know the cost
But nothing felt is ever lost
The soul may ache, but still it sings—
The witness wakes beneath all things

Thanks so much to the incredible @DJShAnkAri for the amazing remix of this song...

Beauty Holds Me

This is a powerful anthem born from a movement of strong, talented women who are redefining the music industry. This song is a celebration of female empowerment, creativity, & solidarity. The spark that ignited this movement came from the incredible @bobby-b-phoolan, who started the #UnapologeticallyHER Playlist on SC & brought together a community of women artists who are making their voices heard. As a member of this group, I wanted to honor Bobby's vision & the sisterhood we've formed, so I created this song as a tribute to the movement & the women who inspire me every day. This song is a reflection of our experiences, our struggles, & our triumphs. We're not just making music; we're creating a legacy. We're unapologetically ourselves, & we're proud of who we are. From the lyrics to the beat, every element of this song is a testament to the strength & resilience of women. So, get ready to join the movement. This is #UnapologeticallyHER
https://rb.gy/qcoi3i

[Verse 1]
Step in the circle, the fire ignites
We queens link up, redefining the heights
Not lookin’ for permission, we buildin’ our own
From verses to beats, every woman in her zone
They said it’s a boys’ club, we flipped the script
Now SoundCloud buzzin’ with the power we spit
Bobby lit the spark, now the torch gets passed
From René to Sarena—yeah this movement gon’ last
No competition, just rhythm & rise
We see through the fake with truth in our eyes
Sisterhood born from the pain we survived
Now we unapologetic, loud, fierce, & alive

[Pre-Chorus]
We ain’t sorry for the shine, we ain’t dimmin’ for none
Every scar made a star, now the healing begun
We got dreams in our pens, got strength in our verse
So we spit with a purpose & rewrite the curse

[Chorus]
Unapologetically HER—yeah we show up bold
Every rhyme like gold, watch our legacy unfold
We don't ask, we take the mic, break the mold
Ain’t no fear in our flame, only stories untold
Unapologetically HER—every note, every line,
Got a crown on our soul and a reason to shine.
We the sisters we needed, the fire, the cure—
Together we rise, Unapologetically HER. 

[Verse 2]
They call it confidence? Nah, that’s just truth
Been grindin’ since day one, in and outta the booth
Some say we lack courage—boy, you must be blind
We birth galaxies daily from the depths of our minds
Bobby built the vision with her heart wide open
Gave a voice to the silence turned pain into motion
Now JazZee, ShAnkAri, & every soul in the thread
Turn the page on the past, let the future be led
No more waitin’ for seats—we makin’ our table
Queens with a dream & the will to stay stable
We show love, drop gems
never do it for clout
We just speak from the soul that’s what HER is about.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
DMs full of "almosts," egos & schemes
But we movin’ with vision, not thirst for the streams
We hear the backhanded love brush it off, keep on
'Cause we queens, we creators we the break of the dawn
From solo battles to collabs with grace
We found our tribe, found our sacred place
This ain’t just a chat, it’s a vibe, it’s a wave
It’s the anthem of the brave, for the ones who stayed
We ain't here to be liked—we here to be loud
To spit bars that heal & make our mamas proud
We got purpose in rhythm, divinity in rhyme
And we ain’t shrinkin’ for nobody, not this time

[Bridge]
To every girl told “no,” now you got a crew
A mirror of your power & a place that’s true
So when the world says hush we just turn it to art—
Bobby sparked a revolution straight from the heart

[Chorus]

[Final Chorus]
Unapologetically HER—this our sacred sound
From the underground queens to the world-renowned
We won’t beg to belong, we just build & roar
This is HERstory now—can’t ignore us no more

[Outro]
So here’s to the visionaries, the rebels, the real
To every lyric that dared to feel
To Bobby, the spark—we honor your flame
We’ll carry this light, keep pushin’ the name

Unapologetically, beautifully, fiercely HER—
No silence, no shame, just the sound of power
🎤👑✨

Unapologetically HER

This song is a heartfelt reflection on the importance of love in our lives. It paints a vivid picture of people searching for connection and meaning in a world that can sometimes feel cold and isolating. The lyrics describe the darkness and shadows that creep in when love is absent, but also offer a message of hope and guidance. The song urges listeners to hold on to love like a beacon in the night, shining bright and guiding each other to the light. It's a powerful exploration of what love means to us, and how it can help us navigate life's challenges.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on the edge of town, watchin' the sunset fade
People passin' by, but nobody's lookin' for a way
To find their place in the world, to find a love that's true
But without it, they're just driftin' like a boat without a clue 

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the darkness starts to creep, and the shadows start to grow
Gotta find a light to guide me, or I'll be lost, don't you know 

[Chorus]
Without love, where would we be?
Just a fading light, in the evening sea
Without love, we'd be driftin' free
Lost in the night, without a melody 

[Verse 2]
I see the city lights, shinin' bright and bold
But without a heart that's filled, it's just a hollow gold
People searchin' for a connection, a love that's real
But it's hard to find, when the world's just a steel and concrete feel 

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the darkness starts to creep, and the shadows start to grow
Gotta find a light to guide me, or I'll be lost, don't you know 

[Chorus]
Without love, where would we be?
Just a fading light, in the evening sea
Without love, we'd be driftin' free
Lost in the night, without a melody 

[Bridge]
Maybe we'll find our way, through the darkness and the pain
Maybe we'll find a love, that will remain
And guide us through the night, like a star shinin' bright
And we'll find our way, to a love that's true and right 

[Verse 3]
So let's hold on to love, like a beacon in the night
Let's keep it shinin' bright, and guide each other to the light
'Cause without it, we'd be lost, just a fading light
In the evening sea, without a guiding sight 

[Chorus]
Without love, where would we be?
Just a fading light, in the evening sea
Without love, we'd be driftin' free
Lost in the night, without a melody 

[Outro]
Oh, the fading light, it's shinin' low
Without love, we'd be lost, don't you know?
Let's hold on to love, and never let it go.





Fading Light

This song is a scathing critique of Donald Trump, tackling themes of corruption, deception, and accountability. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man consumed by his own ego and desperation to maintain power, while pointing fingers at others. The song accuses Trump of hiding the truth, protecting himself, and betraying the public's trust. With raw emotion and biting lyrics, it calls out Trump's hypocrisy and demands justice, refusing to be silenced or swayed by his rhetoric. The song's message is clear: the truth will come to light, and Trump's actions will have consequences.


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
“You promised the truth. You gave us silence. We see you now.” 
Yes, we all see you now.

[Verse 1]
I've seen your grin behind the lies
Your gold-plated gates, your alibis
You danced with demons in secret flights
Palm Beach shadows, red-eye nights 

Photos don’t fade, and logs don’t burn
No spin can stop the facts we learn
“You barely knew him,” that's your line
So why the hell were you there all the time? 

[Pre-Chorus]
You gave them rage, you fed their fire
Now they choke on your barbed-wire choir
The truth you swore is DOA—
Your house of mirrors cracks today 

[Chorus]
Lies in the mirror, blood on your hands
Still pointing fingers, can’t barely stand
All your smoke can’t cover the flame
Even your army’s ashamed of your name
You said you’d unseal, now you just conceal—
What’s the truth you’re dying to kill?
WE ALL KNOW!
WE ALL KNOW!
WE ALL KNOW!
You’re protecting yourself, and it shows 

[Verse 2]
Called it a hoax, said “don’t waste time”
But you chased clout off Epstein’s climb
You teased the files, played messiah
Now you ghost your own quaking empire 

Truth Social tantrums, poisoned feed
Thrown to the wolves you used to lead
You're spiraling down, can’t dodge the sting—
Even your cultists know you're hiding something 

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd fight the deep-state flood
Now you're rolling in the same damn mud
From dragon slayer to court jester—
Turns out you’re the hidden molester 

[Chorus]
Lies in the mirror, blood on your hands
Still pointing fingers, can’t barely stand
All your smoke can’t cover the flame
Even your army’s ashamed of your name
You said you’d unseal, now you just conceal—
What’s the truth you’re dying to kill?
WE ALL KNOW!
WE ALL KNOW!
WE ALL KNOW!
You’re protecting yourself, and it shows 

[Bridge]
This ain’t left vs right—it’s wrong vs truth
And the files you buried are the rotten proof
Maxwell smiled while victims cried—
You kissed her hand and wished her fine
No justice list, just sealed decay—
We’re not your pawns, we won’t obey! 

[Breakdown]
You can silence the names...
You can shatter the frame...
But the mirror cracks...
And it screams your name. 

[Final Chorus]
Lies in the mirror,
Blood on your hands
Still pointing fingers, can’t barely stand
The world is watching, the veil is torn—
YOU BUILT THIS STORM
You said you’d unseal, now you just conceal—
What's the truth you’re dying to kill?
WE ALL KNOW!
WE ALL KNOW!
WE ALL KNOW!
You're the monster behind the window 

[OUTRO]
You're not just a liar. Not just a coward.
You're a predator in a tailored suit.
We know what you are, Donald.
You’re a goddamn pedophile—
and this time, we’re not looking away.

LIES In The Mirror

This song is my raw reaction to watching the government and the Supreme Court quietly dismantle the Department of Education right in front of us. I wrote it out of anger and heartbreak as I watched thousands of workers get laid off, civil‑rights offices gutted, and essential programs for kids, students, and families stripped away—all without explanation, just a single shadow‑docket ruling that lets Trump tear it all down. It’s about the frustration of seeing our institutions hollowed out in silence, the fear of what happens when the safeguards we rely on are shredded, and the determination to rise up and refuse to be dismantled along with them. It’s my way of screaming that we see what’s happening, we won’t stay silent, and we will fight to take our country back.

LYRICS: 

[Intro]
They burn it down… in silence… while you try to listen… 

[Verse 1] 
The Court moves in shadows,
They let the flames run wild—
Unsigned and unexplained,
While they snuff out the child.
A one-line black-box order,
Scorched by what can’t be seen—
It’s a stealthy obliteration,
Ripping out belief in dreams. 

[Chorus 1] 
You say “just a whisper,”
But we hear the roar—
They’re tearing down the pillars,
Leaving shattered floors.
Rights flicker in the darkness,
In the hush of this decay—
They’re dismantling it all,
But in silence they betray. 

[Verse 2]
Lines slice through the pages,
Pink slips delivered cold—
Thousand-plus souls gone missing,
Stories left untold.
They gutted civil-rights teams,
Ripped IDEA from the floor—
Removed the voices that guide us,
Kicked wide education’s door. 

[Chorus 2]
Half the workforce gone—
A department left to die,
They whisper “power to the States,”
As the children cry.
But Congress made that whole thing,
Gave teeth and gave a voice—
They’re shredding what’s sacred,
And you’ve got no choice? 

[Bridge] 
Mass terror at the threshold,
You think they’ll stand and say:
“No, not in our name!”
But SCOTUS just gave it away.
No reasoning, no court knights—
Just a shrug, a blink…
They handed over the torch,
Now watch institutions shrink. 

[Verse 3] 
They’re transferring student loans,
To the Treasury’s locked cages—
DEI snuffed in Justice halls,
Righteous rage on stages.
“Unitary executive?”
A dog whistle in the night—
A precedent for prejudice,
Broken bones of oversight. 

[Chorus 3]
We are the collapse…
In bureaucratic decay—
A shadow-scorched republic,
As they take it away.
You wanted small government—
Now watch the vacuum grow—
No safety net of meaning,
In the schools we’ll never know. 

[Breakdown] 
Congress wrote the blueprint,
For accessibility and aid—
But they gutted the civil-rights wings,
Olympians dismayed.
They struck at bilingual programs,
Shoved special kids aside—
Ignoring every parent’s plea,
Erased every genuine guide.
They took student-aid lifelines—
Threatened forty-three million—
But the Court pronounced it legal…
Now the system’s spinning. 

[Final Chorus] 
We hear your whispers—
But we’ll amplify the roar—
From the classrooms and the offices—
We’ll demand restore.
This is our country—
Not your kingdom to destroy—
We’ll build beyond the rubble,
Reclaim what you decoy. 

[Outro] 
Whisper all you want…
We’ll speak it loud—
We’ll speak it proud…
They can’t dismantle us.

Dismantling It All With a Whisper

This song is a powerful commentary on the disillusionment of those who once supported Trump but are finally waking up to his true nature. It's a reflection of the frustration and anger felt by many who are realizing too late the damage his presidency is inflicting on our country. With lyrics that paint a vivid picture of a nation torn apart by systemic injustice, corruption, and inequality, the song is a call to action for those who are willing to stand up against the status quo. It's a message to those who danced in the flames of Trump's rhetoric, but are now feeling the burn of his policies. The song is a testament to the resilience of those who refuse to be silenced, and a rallying cry for the youth who are rising up to demand change and dig up the truth. It's a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming adversity, we have the power to create change and fight for a better future.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
The streets are filled with silence now
The banners torn, the voices drowned
He signs the laws behind closed doors
While justice begs outside the courts

The children cry in border camps
As flags of hate are tightly clamped
A second chance, a fatal blow
We warned them once—they let him go

[Pre-Chorus]
You see it now, don’t you?
The rot behind the gold
You feel it now, don’t you?
The grip so cold, so old

[Chorus]
It’s too late to wake the dead
But we still scream for what was said
You danced in fire, now we burn
Will you ever learn? Will you ever learn?

He paints the future black and red
And feeds the lie that never bled
We’re marching slow through all he’s torn
But we were never born to mourn

[Verse 2]
The sky lit up in midnight flames
For oil, for pride, for power games
He bombs a world that can’t fight back
And calls it peace—just war in drag

He strips the schools, he culls the light
Then bribes the dark to praise his fight
And all the names he left behind
Are buried deep in bills he signed

[Pre-Chorus]
You feel it now, don’t you?
The weight of what he stole
You hear it now, don’t you?
A fractured nation's soul

[Chorus]
It’s too late to wake the dead
But we still scream for what was said
You danced in fire, now we burn
Will you ever learn? Will you ever learn?

He paints the future black and red
And feeds the lie that never bled
We’re marching slow through all he’s torn
But we were never born to mourn

[Verse 3]
He drapes the cross in tarnished gold
And sells our mercy, cheap and cold
He rules through fear and whispered threats
With every echo, we forget

But truth still burns beneath the skin
Of every loss we hold within
We bit our tongues—but not again
Our silence breaks like shattered pen

[Bridge]
So here’s a song for those who knelt
For every blow you never dealt
For every vote you thought was “meh”
For freedoms lost without regret

The youth are rising, brown and brave
Digging truth from every grave
You saw the mask—now face the man
We’re not afraid. We understand.

[Chorus]
It’s too late to wake the dead
But we still scream for what was said
You danced in fire, now we burn
Will you ever learn? Will you ever learn?

He paints the future black and red
And feeds the lie that never bled
We’re marching slow through all he’s torn
But we were never born to mourn

[Final Chorus]
It’s too late to wake the dead
Still we whisper what was said
And if we fade beneath this storm
Let it be in protest, not in scorn
We’re marching slow through all he’s torn
But we were never born to mourn

[Outro]
Too late to wake the dead…
But not too late to rise instead.


Too Late to Wake the Dead

This song is a haunting exposé set against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s carefully staged wedding — where flashbulbs masked the truth and Epstein lingered just out of frame. I wrote it to confront the disturbing friendship Trump has worked so hard to erase, the smiles and guest lists that history now reexamines with chilling clarity. It’s about the ghosts he pretends not to know, the evidence hidden in plain sight, and the way denial can’t cleanse the rot beneath the glamour. No golden tower, no velvet rope, no lawsuit can silence the truth forever — because every photo still bleeds… in the frame.

https://www.comicsands.com/trump-epstein-wedding


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Flashbulbs lie, they never told
A shadow walked where secrets grow
In white and gold, the Plaza’s glow
You smiled for cameras you now disown
A ghost in the corner of your perfect day
History whispers in black-and-gray

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent names on the velvet rope
Dancing with devils in fur and hope

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Verse 2]
He signed his name in the wedding night
A phantom grin in the camera light
Paper trails, a burning lie
No golden tower can scrape the sky
The tapes resurface, the headlines bite
Your skeletons waltz in the morning light

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent names on the velvet rope
Dancing with devils in fur and hope

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Verse 3]
Denials rise like smoke and ash
You sue the mirror for looking back
Every doodle, every card
Is evidence carved in a guilty heart
History waits in the courthouse hall
Your friends don’t answer when justice calls

[Bridge]
Shutter clicks like a guillotine
Memory sharp as a crime scene
What you buried now takes flight
Every photo frame testifies tonight

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Outro]
Flashbulbs fade, but the ghosts remain
Every wedding bell tolls your name
Your guest list bleeds… in the frame

The Guest List (Buried in the Photos)

This song is my unapologetic dive into one of Palm Beach’s most infamous betrayals—how Trump double-crossed Epstein over a 2004 mansion deal, using shady money, Russian oligarch ties, & calculated silence to pull it off. It traces the $40 million flip that shattered their friendship, the threats & secrets that followed, & the suspicion that Trump set the wheels in motion for Epstein’s downfall. It’s about greed, power, & how betrayal leaves ghosts—because in the end, no one was innocent, and every choice had a price.


LYRICS: 

[Intro ]
They burn it down—in silence…
A house—a pool—a friendship…
Forty million reasons to never trust your friends

[Verse 1]
Palm Beach, 2004, the sun’s a golden knife
Jeffrey walks the mansion grounds, thinking this is life
Thirty-six million bid—he’s the king of the night
Shows his friend Donald, “Help me move the pool, all right?” 

But the snake is coiled in a suit & a tie
Donald walks the halls, sees the ocean in his eye
Next day—forty million, out of nowhere, no goodbye
Jeffrey seethes, feels the knife twist deep inside 

He knew the math—Trump was broke in the game
Scattered debts, no forty million to his name
Then whispers of a Russian man, Rybolovlev fame
Money laundering shadows, different rules, same shame 

[Pre-Chorus]
Betrayal tastes like salt on a stolen breeze
Red flags rising in the Florida keys
They built their empires on sand & disease
And one by one—they all will bleed 

[Chorus]
Drop the dime!
Maison of shadows, sold to the highest crime
Forty million ghosts in the dead of time
Palm trees hide the truth & the slime
Epstein swore Trump would pay for his crime 

[Verse 2]
He lost the house, but worse, he lost his face
A real estate betrayal, the ultimate disgrace
Threats in the night—lawsuits in his case
“I’ll go to the press, tell the world what you erase!” 

Donald panics, heart pounding like a snare
Epstein knew he’d been there, seen the girls everywhere
For years at the parties, in the gilded lair
He was fully acquainted—don’t you dare declare 

Jeffrey said it to his dying day, in his cell
“It was Trump who dropped the dime, sent me to hell”
From Paris to Jersey, private jet farewell
Teterboro cuffs, the start of his final bell 

[Bridge 1]
The house that greed built… washed in the tide
The pool you wanted—became your divide
A friend is a shadow—until the sun slides
Into handcuffs & headlines—no place to hide

[Verse 3]
Three weeks after Wolff put the story in his book
Epstein read the words & knew the hook
Called the writer, voice shaking, “Did I say too much?”
Three weeks later—steel bracelets, ice-cold touch 

Trump spins his story, years down the line
Says Epstein stole employees, including Virginia’s shine
But the timelines clash like a jagged spine
2004 was the house, not the spa, stop the lie 

Red flags everywhere—Russian cash on the sand
Flip a mansion for 95 mil, ain’t that grand?
Epstein felt the knife, betrayal’s cruel hand
A king of secrets drowned by his own quicksand 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Money in the walls…
Ghosts in the halls…
Palm trees whisper…
Who made the call? 

[Chorus]
Drop the dime!
Maison of shadows, bought with another man’s crime
40 million questions echo in rhyme
Epstein swore Trump would pay in time
Betrayal is a bell that will always chime 

[Bridge 2]
Palm Beach remembers
Maison de L’Amitié
Your empire floats on whispers & foreign pay
One man in Paris—reads his last mistake
Another man smiles—as the ground starts to quake 

[Final Verse]
He thought he was untouchable, a god on a throne
But gods fall harder when they stand alone
The mansion is gone, the truth overthrown
And every friend you betray becomes a gravestone 

Epstein’s ghost lingers in the Palm Beach tide
Wolff holds the secrets that the courts denied
A Russian oligarch’s cash laundered worldwide
And a President hiding from the things he supplied 

[Outro]
In the Maison of shadows
No one is innocent
Not the bidder
Not the friend
Not the man who drops the dime. 

…It’s all just biden time.

Maison of Shadows (Drop the Dime)

This song came from an idea I’d been toying with for a couple of weeks—I was going to write about catfishing. But then my fellow artist and friend @nova-j-49914957 on SC dropped an incredible track called Catfish, 
https://on.soundcloud.com/akXMvWHvhowllgLq0y and I didn’t want him to think I was copying his concept. So instead, I flipped the perspective and wrote about the other side of it—why a lonely soul might do it in the first place. This is a deeply human, empathetic look at the hidden pain that can drive someone to hide behind a false identity—not to scam, not to be cruel, but simply to feel noticed, valued, and alive for a fleeting moment. It’s about the scars that aren’t visible, the desperate need for connection, and how broken hearts sometimes cause harm without meaning to. It’s not an excuse for the hurt caused—it’s a reflection on the tragedy of someone who thought they had to be a stranger just to be seen.


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
She said she was twenty-five… lived near the coast
But the eyes in the photo… weren’t hers… and she knows…

[Verse 1]
He fell for the laughter, the sparkle, the name
While she hid in silence, drowning in shame
She typed like a dream, a fantasy bright
But cried in the dark, alone every night

[Pre-Chorus]
She never meant to cross the line
She just needed to feel… alive… this time

[Chorus]
She’s not a villain, not a thief
Just someone buried underneath
A thousand days of being no one’s choice
So she borrowed a name… and someone’s voice

She never meant to make him cry
She only wanted to feel alive
But broken people sometimes break
The hearts they never meant to take

[Verse 2]
There’s a girl in the mirror she barely knows
Painted in pixels and secondhand clothes
He gave her a moment, a glimpse of the light
She gave him a story she couldn’t rewrite

[Pre-Chorus]
And the truth was closing in too fast
She prayed each message wouldn’t be the last

[Chorus]
She’s not a villain, not a thief
Just someone buried underneath
A thousand days of being no one’s choice
So she borrowed a name… and someone’s voice

She never meant to make him cry
She only wanted to feel alive
But broken people sometimes break
The hearts they never meant to take

[Bridge]
Maybe if someone had noticed the signs
The girl behind all of the scripted lines
Maybe a friend, or a stranger’s grace
Could’ve saved her from needing another face

To be real, to be raw, to be loved all the same
Without playing somebody else’s game

[Chorus]
She’s not a villain, not a thief
Just someone drowning underneath
The silence, the shame, the years alone
The ache of never being known

She never meant to cross that line
She only wanted someone kind
But even kind hearts start to shake
When trust becomes a lie we fake

[Outro]
So don’t excuse the hurt she gave
But maybe grieve the soul she couldn’t save
The one who thought she had to be
A stranger… just to feel seen

The Face Behind the Face

This song isn’t drawn from my own life unfortunately, but from the kind of love I’ve imagined for someone who’s had to say a heartbreaking goodbye. I wrote it as if I were the voice of a person speaking from beyond—someone deeply in love, reassuring the one they’ve left behind that death hasn’t ended their connection. It’s a portrait of a bond so strong it survives the limits of time and distance, offering comfort, hope, and the promise of reunion “where the light comes in.” For me, it’s about stepping into another’s story and giving them a voice to carry through their grief.


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
“I never really left… I’m just waiting…” 

[Verse 1]
You gave me roots, you gave me reason
You stayed through storms and quiet seasons
When I was hollow, you gave me weight
When I broke down, you held my fate
Now I drift through skies unseen
But you still burn inside of me 

[Pre-Chorus]
Time is a thief, but love won’t fade
You're every vow I ever made 

[Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Past the smoke, past the skin
No more goodbyes, no more pretend
When the silence breaks, we begin again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Verse 2]
I see your face in morning air
In echoes caught, in whispered prayer
The dinners made, the songs we knew
The quiet ways you pulled me through
Though I walk this shadowed tide
You're the pulse I keep inside 

[Pre-Chorus]
Time is a thief, but love won’t fade
You're every vow I ever made 

[Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Past the smoke, past the skin
No more goodbyes, no more pretend
When the silence breaks, we begin again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Verse 3]
Tell the ones I left behind
To carry joy, to always be kind
No shadow here, no death to fear
I walk in peace, but I stay near
And when your final breath arrives
I’ll be the arms where you arrive 

[Bridge]
No clocks, no pain, no need to roam
I’ve made the stars feel just like home
And every tear you've ever cried
Turns into light on the other side 

[Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Past the smoke, past the skin
No more goodbyes, no more pretend
When the silence breaks, we begin again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Final Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Open arms, eternal kin
No fear, no loss, just light within
I’ll be the place you’ve always been
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Outro]
So carry love, and carry on
I'll be the dusk that meets your dawn
Until that day, just look within—
I’ll wait… where the light… comes in.

Where the Light Comes In

This song is for anyone who’s ever had an ex try to convince them they couldn’t survive without them. It’s my story from a long-ago relationship—but even more, it’s for every person who’s ever been told they’d be nothing after a breakup. It’s about finding the strength they never wanted you to have, turning their doubt into your drive, and rising higher than they ever imagined. Every word is both a battle cry and a celebration—a reminder that you can walk away, rebuild, and come back stronger, wiser, and unshakably free.

Survivor

This song was song born from a childhood memory that my friend @DJShAnkAri shared with me. As a child, she sometimes felt like a little “indigo soul,” drifting outside the world everyone else seemed to live in. She remembers moments of floating above her bed, eyes tightly closed, seeing everything stretched far away as if she were traveling somewhere else—an experience that made her feel like a freak and deeply misunderstood.

I wrote this song from her perspective, capturing that sense of lonely wonder and the quiet pain of being different, but also the beauty of a soul awakening to her own gifts. It begins in the fragile melancholy of childhood, then grows in intensity and hope as she embraces the magic within her—transforming from the lonely girl who thought she was strange into the extraordinary woman DJ and astrologer she is today.

“Indigo Skies” is about finding light in your uniqueness, even if it takes years to see it.


LYRICS:

[Intro]
I was floating…
Above my bed…
Eyes closed tight…
Afraid to see the world too far…
Afraid to see myself…

[Verse 1]
As a kid, I drifted where the walls couldn’t follow,
Suspended in silence, my room felt hollow.
They said it was nothing, just a dream I made,
But my soul was wandering where shadows played.

I told my parents, told my grandma too,
They nodded with worry, like they knew what to do.
Ophthalmologist lights in my eyes that burned,
But no one could see where my spirit turned.

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes closed tight, I wouldn’t let ‘em see,
The world stretched out, felt so far from me.
Heartbeats loud in a galaxy of thought,
I felt like a freak, but I know I was not…

[Chorus]
Indigo skies, carry me high,
I was a child they couldn’t define.
Floating alone, afraid to be seen,
Living a life between waking and dream.

[Verse 2]
Three years ahead in a world that was slow,
Buried in books, where my true self would glow.
Reading all day while the playground spun,
My body on Earth, but my mind on the run.

A little indigo, out of place in the crowd,
Feeling too quiet, feeling too loud.
They said I was different, they said I was strange,
But deep in my soul I could feel the change.

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes closed tight, I wouldn’t let ‘em see,
The world stretched out, felt so far from me.
Heartbeats loud in a galaxy of thought,
I felt like a freak, but I know I was not…

[Chorus]
Indigo skies, carry me high,
I was a child they couldn’t define.
Floating alone, afraid to be seen,
Living a life between waking and dream.

[Verse 3]
Then I rose like the sun through the fog in my mind,
Aries fire burning, leaving fear behind.
Left my parents’ house, I began to create,
I learned that my stars were the hands of fate.

What was once a burden became my gift,
Astrology showed me the cosmic shift.
From a lonely child to a guiding light,
Indigo soul in the velvet night.

[Bridge]
I felt like a freak, but I now call it flight,
The colors of my soul lit up the night.
Every tear, every page, every shadowed scar,
Led me here to show who we really are.

[Chorus]
Indigo skies, carry me high,
I was a child they couldn’t define.
Floating alone, afraid to be seen,
Living a life between waking and dream.

Indigo skies, I’m not afraid,
The freak I felt like then is the life I’ve made.
Floating no more, my feet on the ground,
My voice is astrology and my DJ sound.

[Outro]
I was floating…
Above my bed…
Eyes closed tight…
But now I see…
Indigo skies



Indigo Skies

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes with when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'd like to even out my follows versus followers numbers. I'm following way more than I'm being followed back. 😢 Hope that makes sense? 😘
