sorry i've been asleep

follow me

Alive

Remission

[Verse 1]

I kept a list of storms
tucked inside my jacket sleeve,
small tempests no one noticed,
just the kind that make you leave.
And every mile behind me
felt heavier than it should,
like I carried all the versions
of the man they said I “could.”

[Chorus]

Don’t ask me if I’m healing,
healing never answers back.
I’m learning how to walk again
on roads I once believed would crack.
And in the quiet after rain,
I hear the truth I never claimed:
that even broken ground
still grows something.

[Verse 2]

I lost my name a few times
in the echo of old fights,
traded pieces of my dignity
just to make it through the nights.
But the shadows I kept feeding
finally learned to speak aloud,
and they told me I was standing
in the wrong part of the crowd.

[Chorus]

Don’t ask me if I’m healing,
I’m tired of proving that I try.
I’m standing in the open now,
letting all the softness dry.
And in the quiet after rain,
I hear the steps I never made,
and maybe that’s enough
to keep me breathing.

[Bridge]

If forgiveness has a shape,
it’s the outline of my fear,
shrinking slowly,
year by year.

[Final Chorus]

So don’t wait for me to tell you
I’ve arrived where I belong.
I’m stitching up the silence
into something almost strong.
And in the quiet after rain,
I’ll bruise and bloom again,
because even fractured hearts
keep beating.

The Quiet That Follows Rain

"If The World Ends Tomorrow" is a melancholic yet witty acoustic folk ballad blending apocalyptic dread with tender romance and dark humor. A man, facing doomsday headlines, woos his love with ironic urgency: if the world might end, why not seize the night in intimate chaos? Through poetic verses, it contrasts cosmic collapse with personal warmth—burning skies, trembling hands, rooftop toasts—urging reckless love as the ultimate rebellion. Passenger-like storytelling meets Blunt-esque charm in bittersweet, lightly explicit intimacy.(see the generated image above)

Full Lyrics

Title: If The World Ends Tomorrow

[Intro]
The news keeps shouting “countdown’s near”
But I just pour another beer
The sky’s aflame, the moon looks shy
So hold me close before we die
We’ve watched the world spin out of tune
Now midnight tastes like sweet perfume

[Verse 1]
They say the sea’s gonna swallow Rome
And angels pack their bags for home
Some preacher counting down in vain
While streetlights hum a soft refrain
But here you stand in my old shirt
Grinning through the world’s last hurt
Your laugh could make the heavens wait
For one more round, for one last fate

[Verse 2]
You tease, “You panic way too soon”
I smile beneath a broken moon
You light a cigarette, confess
“The end could use a little mess”
And if the comets paint the sky
At least they saw your hazel eyes
So come on, babe, let go, let be
The end looks good on you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
All the clocks are drunk tonight
Ticking slow in borrowed light
Every echo, every sigh
Feels like laughter dressed to die

[Chorus]
If the world ends tomorrow, love me tonight
Let’s make the chaos feel gentle and right
If love’s the last thing the stars allow
Then let’s not wait — let’s start somehow

[Verse 3]
Your hair still smells like thunder rain
Your touch rewrites my every vein
You whisper things that sound like prayers
Half truth, half dare, half unawares
We kiss like thieves who stole the fire
Still drunk on hope, still full of wire
And if the lights don’t find their hue
At least the night belongs to you

[Bridge]
We’ll toast the stars with broken glass
Forgive the ghosts our hearts let pass
And if the sun forgets to rise
We’ll still have sparks in borrowed skies
We’ll dance on rooftops, lose our breath
Make love a protest song ’gainst death

[Verse 4]
Turn off the screen, come close to me
There’s still a world we’ve yet to see
Forget the floods, the greedy fight
Let’s build a heaven for one night
The sirens wail, the towers spin
But your smile’s where my faith begins
If this is it, then let it be
A small apocalypse for you and me

[Chorus Reprise]
If the world ends tomorrow, hold me tight
Let’s laugh at fate, it looks good tonight
If love’s the last sin we can follow
Then let’s not wait for some tomorrow

[Reprise]
The sky may crack, the ground may quake
But you’re still the best mistake I’ll make
Let’s fade like stars, let silence bloom
Two fools slow-dancing through the gloom

[Outro]
If the world ends tomorrow…
At least we lived tonight
