THE KID LAROI X JUSTIN BIEBER - STAY [ZEROSENTME COVER]

Non Provo

We'll change 
And erase 
In each wave 
I'm gone 

When it rains 
Wash away 
Disappear 
Leave no trace 

I was never here and none of this is real 
Coursing through my veins is something I can't feel 
My ocean, my opiate 
Drown the whole damn world, this is a fuckin' dream 

This is a fuckin' dream 

I inhale 
The flood 
It is not enough 
Touch the light above 
As it fills my lungs 
(set me free) 

I wanted to watch the world end with you 
We would be the only ones who'd make it through 
The sun's still shining deep inside my dreams 
But nothing here was ever really what it seemed 
You stole all the light from behind my eyes 
You destroyed every memory inside my mind 
What have you done to me? 

The stars will shine 
On my dark side 
And I don't wanna wake 
From this dream 
Stay with me 
Until the pain is gone

The stars will shine 
On my dark side 
And I don't wanna wake 
From this dream 
Stay with me 
Until the pain is gone away

The stars will shine 
On my dark side 
And I don't wanna wake 
From this dream 
Stay with me 
Until the pain is gone

Put You In Place

So Much Blood

Devil's Due

This was another song I wrote during those same emotionally turbulent high school years in the mid-1980s. If "Breakin' My Heart" was about the immediate shock of betrayal, "Shattered Illusions" dug deeper into the aftermath - that hollow feeling when you realize everything you believed about someone was built on lies.

The opening line "Midnight shadows, a phone that won't ring" perfectly captured those sleepless nights, waiting for someone who was never going to call. I remember writing that verse thinking about how naive I'd been, how I'd "built castles on empty words." The metaphor felt so real to me then - all those promises and dreams just crumbling down.

What I'm proud of in this song is the pre-chorus structure. Adding that extra emotional build before hitting the chorus made the impact stronger. "Shattering my world" felt like the perfect phrase to describe how completely someone could destroy your sense of reality when you're seventeen and think you know everything about love.

The bridge represents growth - moving from victim to survivor. "I'm done with your lies, done with the pain" shows that progression from hurt to empowerment that I was learning to navigate as a teenager. The outro ties it all together with "Your love was fiction, but I'll rise from this fall" - probably the most mature line I wrote at that age.

Like my other lyrics from that time, this sat dormant for decades until AI technology gave me the opportunity to finally hear these words with music. There's something magical about bringing teenage angst full circle with today's creative tools. The song now has that dramatic, emotional sound that matches the intensity I felt when I first wrote these words.

No one cares, Just LIFT!!!

Parents always riding you but they don't know what it's like!
Your teacher doesn't 'get you' and you think she's probably a dyke,
The boss doesn't like your attitude and you think he's probably right,

You're ex is tagging you in with your best mate who's in town,
You would have joined the army but you'd probably knock the Sergeant out!
There weren't many who liked you when you had to 'find yourself'
Even less will like you if they see you're still a fucking mess!

No One Cares! JUST LIFT!

What?!!

No One Cares! JUST LIFT!
What I'm trying to say is...
No One Cares! JUST LIFT!
Do you even lift, 


Speak like no one is listening,  
Because they're not,
Dress like no one is looking,
Because they're not,
Scream like no one is coming,
Because it's the only chance you've got!

No One Cares! JUST LIFT!
What?!!
No One Cares! JUST LIFT!
What I'm trying to say is...
No One Cares! JUST LIFT!

If only she would notice you, 
If only you were cool,
If only you had money,
She'd only take it all,
If only she'd pick up the phone,
Maybe you could talk her around,
I've heard this all before you BITCH! NO ONE CARES! JUST LIFT!

What?!!
No One Cares! JUST LIFT!
What I'm trying to say is...
No One Cares! JUST LIFT!

What?!!
No One Cares! JUST LIFT!
What I'm trying to say is...
No One Cares! JUST LIFT!
