Dangling Wishes And Fleeting Memories
Just cross' the meadow through a weathered, wooden gate and mere steps cross' a red roofed, covered bridge Is a path made of cobblestone that leads to her secret garden, an orchard where fall dreams are made

Before God Gets Tired of Us
Verse] I'm so tired of the lies they weave Broken words that no one believes A world of shadows a bitter maze Truth gets lost in a smoky haze [Verse 2] I'm so tired of the hatred’s sting Fires burning where peace could sing A heavy weight on a fragile heart Tearing kindness apart [Chorus] We need to love like the skies above Hold each other in the arms of trust Before the heavens cry out enough Before He gets tired of us [Verse 3] I'm so tired of the cruelty’s game Pointing fingers assigning blame When did we lose the softer touch The world needs love it needs it much [Bridge] Every heart can mend if we try Light the dark with a gentle reply Lift the fallen break the chain Let love rise above the pain [Chorus] We need to love like the skies above Hold each other in the arms of trust Before the heavens cry out enough Before He gets tired of us

Electric Dust
[Verse] Cracked mirrors reflecting the void Shadows creeping no meaning employed Dust storms raging inside my head All I see is ego till I'm dead [Verse 2] No cosmos no stars just a lie Human breath burning under the sky We build our worlds from electric haze Subjective prisons endless maze [Chorus] Electrified dust in the wind we spin Born of nothing yet trapped within The universe is just a scream in the dark A hollow echo no god no spark [Verse 3] Fragments of thoughts scatter like ash The ego's fire burns out in a flash Reality’s a game we play alone Truth dissolves like skin to bone [Bridge] No galaxies to guide us through Only our minds breaking in two The dust we are the dust we’ll be A fleeting whisper in eternity [Chorus] Electrified dust in the wind we spin Born of nothing yet trapped within The universe is just a scream in the dark A hollow echo no god no spark

Inevitable Journey
[Verse] Life is a road with twists and bends We chase the stars until it ends Each step we take a fleeting sigh No one wants to say goodbye [Verse 2] We dream of skies that never fade A world of light where shadows played Yet in the mirror truth does glare We’re all just travelers unaware [Chorus] Oh we run we hide we fight the tide Holding tight to the time we bide But the clock it ticks we can't deny The inevitable wave of goodbye [Verse 3] The sun it sets to rise again The moonlight whispers through the pain We grasp at moments soft and rare Knowing someday we won’t be there [Bridge] And still we laugh and still we cry We climb the mountains touch the sky For every breath's a sweet embrace A fleeting kiss a sacred grace [Chorus] Oh we run we hide we fight the tide Holding tight to the time we bide But the clock it ticks we can't deny The inevitable wave of goodbye

Evil Somebody
[Verse] Shadow on the throne no light in his eyes Whispers in the dark spreading cold hard lies Crushing every name that stands in his lane Blood on his hands power’s his only gain [Chorus] Evil somebody tearing it apart No soul no mercy no beating heart Win at any cost leave the wreckage behind Evil somebody lost his own mind [Verse] Steps on the weak calls it his right Rules with vengeance smothers the light A little nobody would’ve stood tall But this somebody’s heading for the fall [Chorus] Evil somebody tearing it apart No soul no mercy no beating heart Win at any cost leave the wreckage behind Evil somebody lost his own mind [Bridge] Steel walls crumble truth cuts through Justice whispers louder than you knew A little nobody stands where you fell Evil somebody now burning in hell [Chorus] Evil somebody tearing it apart No soul no mercy no beating heart Win at any cost leave the wreckage behind Evil somebody lost his own mind

Is This Hell?
[Verse] Maybe this ground is just the ashes of stars A prison of smoke with invisible bars We build these cages and call them homes Moaning to the heavens where no one hears us groan [Chorus] Is this hell? Baby, Can't you tell? We light the fires We clang the bells Spinning in circles Caught up in this spell Is this hell? Baby, Is this hell? Is this hell? [Verse 2] We plant the seeds but poison the soil Burning up humanity with pointless toil Our hands are blood stained And we can't see We're just souls blindfolded and dancing in the cosmic streets [Prechorus] [Spoken] We run.,. We fall... We rise... We crawl.. It's an endless cycle We’ve seen it all [Chorus] Is this hell? Baby, Can't you tell? We light the fires We clang the bells Spinning in circles Caught up in this spell Is this hell? Baby, Is this hell? Is this hell? [Bridge] Karma’s a mirror Reflected in our faces we ignore the illusions Warning us of this place While Dimensions fold and bend around us Getting us lost in the in between Waking up to nightmares trapped in the memories of our dreams [Chorus] Is this hell? Baby, Can't you tell? We light the fires We clang the bells Spinning in circles Caught up in this spell Is this hell? Baby, Is this hell? Is this hell? Baby, can't you tell!

Unbreakable
[Verse] You slammed the door without a glance Shattered hearts with words that lance Your shadow looms where light should be Yet love remains Eternally [Verse 2] A mother’s tears can drown the flame A father’s trust won’t feel the same You twist the knife You fan the fire But there’s a love that won’t expire [Chorus] Only God will keep loving you When the world’s too broken to pull through Hatred can crush Cruelty can sting But His love is the unbreaking ring [Bridge] When you’re lost in your own despair The mirror cracks No one’s there A whisper calls A hand will stay Guiding you back through the fray [Verse 3] Intolerance builds a wall so high Meanness turns the well to dry But heaven’s arms are open wide Through every storm A place to hide [Chorus] Only God will keep loving you When the world’s too broken to pull through Hatred can crush Cruelty can sting But His love is the unbreaking ring

Toxic Femininity
[Verse] Whispered claws sharp as steel Eyes like daggers cut and peel Fangs bared behind sweet disguise Syrup smiles hiding poison lies [Verse 2] Sisters turned to sharpened swords Wars waged behind closed doors Man’s name dragged through the dirt Words like bullets always hurt [Chorus] Toxic winds they howl and scream Breaking bonds tearing at the seams Mirror shards in the hearts of queens Toxic femininity reigns supreme [Verse 3] Thrones of venom built on spite Crowns of envy rule the night Laughter masking cruel intent Empires crumbled trust is spent [Verse 4] Rumors spread like wildfire’s breath Choking truth strangling death Cattiness in whispered tone Worlds destroyed seeds are sown [Bridge] Stop the cycle break the chain Let love flow to heal the pain No more venom no more war We’re stronger together not keeping score

Faith is a Lantern
[Verse] Faith is the lantern glowing in the night It whispers softly Guiding with its light Through shadows deep It clears the haze A quiet promise of brighter days [Verse 2] A flame unbroken Steady and true Through every storm It carries you The dark may linger The winds may wail But faith will anchor when all else fails [Chorus] Oh faith The beacon shining high A spark of hope against the sky When despair knocks and shadows play Faith is the lantern lighting the way [Verse 3] It doesn’t falter It doesn’t fade Through every tear and every ache It burns with purpose It stands so tall A light that catches when we fall [Bridge] The world may tremble The skies may cry But faith remains It never dies A steady hand A calming tone It reminds us we are not alone [Chorus] Oh faith The beacon shining high A spark of hope against the sky When despair knocks and shadows play Faith is the lantern lighting the way

I Know the Facts
You told me I’m not good enough That everything I do is a mistake Dug your sharp nails of dirt into my skin And told me I was stuck here forever That it won’t get better

Muse
a heart typewritten in ink for blood and words for bone poetry and soliloquy embodied a soul illuminated in time in pages, chapters, and volume of a life lived in rhyme and color and page and canvas i will plant myself in your eternal curiosity only to be discovered for the first time to be consumed by time’s insatiable hunger blooming and burgeoning in young blood seeds of unwritten love and grief and sorrow and bliss of what it means to be human to be broken and and mend yourself again and the scars left from holding shards of something that’s meant to be whole of lonely islands with clear turquoise ocean and warm soft sand and exotic jungles full of creatures bleach blonde curls and a sun-kissed skin on the shores of your bravest journey learning to talk to strangers again and falling in love with yourself reconnecting to your lost childhood innocence and free diving into the depths of trauma and insanity only to find how alone you are when you’re “in your right mind” losing faith and doubting how a good God can tolerate so much darkness, evil, and injustice learning to trust yourself again despite all the reasons you have not to i remember who i am, who I’ve always been a life born of ancestral dreams that one day you would be the one who would finally break the curse
