Take Me Away

Night Shift

“The Lie I Love You For” is a whispered confession in slow motion — a soul unravelling in the quiet aftermath of a love that was never real, yet felt more alive than truth ever could.

Built on intimate vocals, minimalist instrumentation, and haunting lyricism, this song explores the deeply human need to believe in something — even when it’s a lie.
Even when it burns.

She knew he didn’t mean it.
She held it anyway.
Because some lies are warmer than goodbye.

This is not a song about healing.
It’s about choosing the beautiful illusion over the empty truth.
It’s about the ache we return to, again and again.
Because sometimes... the lie is all we have to hold.

The Lie I Love You For


[Intro ]
You never meant it.
But I held it anyway.
Carved it into something sacred.
That's the lie I love you for.

[Verse 1]
You said "I love you"
Like it cost you nothing
And I believed you
Like it meant everything
I watched your eyes
Dodge the weight of truth
But I still let
My silence be the proof
You spoke in riddles made of air
I built a home from what wasn't there

[Pre-Chorus ]
You kissed me like an apology
Held me like an excuse
But in the hollow space between
I built the truth I'd never lose
I built the truth I'd never lose

[Chorus ]
This is the lie I love you for
The one that let me breathe before
The words grew sharp, the nights grew cold
But I held tight to what you sold
You never stayed, you never swore—
But I still ache
For that lie once more
That beautiful lie once more

[Verse 2]
You touched me
Like a secret sin
Like I was wildfire
You kept caged within
But even when
Your voice grew thin as smoke
I turned your absence
Into every word you never spoke
I made your silence sing like prayer
Built cathedrals out of empty air

[Pre-Chorus ]
You said just enough to make me stay
And I rewrote the rest my way
I gave your silence sacred form
And let it sound like something warm
Made it sound like coming home

[Chorus 
This is the lie I love you for
Not truth, not vows, not something more
Just that one line you didn't mean
But oh, how bright it used to gleam
You never loved—
At least not me—
But I still need
That fantasy
I choose that sweet insanity

[Bridge ]
I knew.
The whole time.
I knew.
But some lies...
some lies are warmer than goodbye.
Some lies taste better than the truth.
Some lies...
are all we have to hold.

[Moment of Raw Truth – spoken/sung]
Maybe I loved the lie more than I loved you
Maybe the lie was all I ever knew how to do
Maybe...
Maybe that's my truth

[Final Chorus ]
This is the lie I love you for
The one I keep behind each door
You're gone, you're wrong—
I know the score
But I still ache
Like never before
Still choose the lie
Over what's in store
I'd rather hurt than know for sure

[Outro ]
You never meant it.
But I needed to believe.
Needed something beautiful to grieve.
That's the lie...
I love you for.
That's the lie...
I'm dying for.
Forever and always...
The lie.

Jazz Blues Saxophone 🎷 
Lyrics by Sas. Song by Joy 

-Boogie Woogie Stomp

[Verse]
Feet are tapping hearts on fire
Feel the rhythm take you higher
Swing and sway with moves so free
Let the beat take over me

[Chorus]
Boogie woogie stomp fever in my soul
Can't stop now I'm on a roll
Dance floor's burning light the flame
Lose yourself in this wild game

[Verse 2]
Step by step and twist and twirl
Round and round we rock the world
Fast-paced heat and lively glow
Boogie woogie stomp 

[Chorus]
Boogie woogie stomp fever in my soul
Can't stop now I'm on a roll
Dance floor's burning light the flame
Lose yourself in this wild game

[Bridge]
The keys are jumpin' bassline's tight
Hands are clappin' through the night
Let the blues ignite your feet
Boogie woogie stomp feel the beat

[Chorus]
Boogie woogie stomp fever in my soul
Can't stop now I'm on a roll
Dance floor's burning light the flame
Lose yourself in this wild game.

Berlin'in Ortasinda

Born from the bloodlines of Mafia.org and raised in the smoky backrooms of browser tab warfare, “Mafia Returns” is a ballad for the bold. It’s a tribute to the legends who ruled the streets with strategy and style—from Flying Pig to Grin, from DeadlySin to Clause McSlapawhore. With mournful harmonica, brass that marches like an Ulster band, and a smooth-jazz fade-out worthy of a smoky lounge in Las Vegas, this song doesn't just honour a game—it honours a legacy. For the players we lost and the names that won’t be forgotten, this is our Omertà in melody.

Mafia Returns

You are mine, He gently said, Lifting shadows from my head.

A cinematic dark-pop anthem about finding strength in the quiet and reclaiming power after years of being ignored. Performed by Eden Lockhart in a haunting, emotional vocal style reminiscent of Florence Welch, Zola Jesus, and Aurora.

The Silence That Named Me

Lines and spaces hold my dreams
In the key of life it seems
Notes like whispers soft and bright
Dancing gently in the night

The treble clef it holds the key
To melodies that set me free
A symphony of highs and lows
Where my heart forever goes

Tu viens d’une étrangère planète
Tu me fais vraiment tourner la tête
Your love is so exotic
New romance is our last chance…. for ever I really wanna one more chance
´Cause you’re so hypnotic ….
My shiny little star
Tu me fais vraiment tourner la tête
You spin me round like a satellite
Tu me fais vraiment tourner la tête
Your love is so exotic
New romance is our last chance…. for ever New romance is our last chance…. for ever New romance is our last chance
New romance is our last chance
New romance is our last chance
