Whispered winds home's call
Mem'ries bloom hearts enthrall
Fireside dreams warm glow
Far away yet I know
Home's embrace I'll stow
Yearning for where I belong
Echoes sing a childhood song

Misty morns dewy lawn
Familiar paths now withdrawn
Laughter echoes in my mind
Comfort's embrace hard to find
Distance stretches miles long
To my roots I long

Oh home sweet home
Wherever I roam
Your essence I keep
In dreams I sleep
Longing never to cease

Though afar I roam
Home my heart's true home

I walked through doors that had no name
Silent signs but I came anyway
Felt the pull the unseen thread
It led me here instead

I don't ask I don’t wait
I twist the lock I shift the weight

Turn the key feel the spark
No more hiding in the dark
Twist the moment let it breathe
Take what’s yours don’t ask to leave

Yeah—
No maps still I navigate
Cold hands but I calibrate
Built from bits they left behind
Now I move like I bend time

No crown still I walk like king
No stage but I make it ring
Fast life but I shift the pace
Don’t need gold to win this race

Ooooh turn the key…
Let it be…
Ooooh turn the key…

Turn the key feel the spark
(No more hiding)
Twist the moment light the mark
(Give it meaning)
Hands on fire never flee
You are now the lock and key

It’s not about finding a door
It’s about knowing you are one

Lights off room breathes heavy thoughts get loud
Mirror talks back but it never tells me how
I built walls just to feel safe inside
Funny how the safest place is where the truth goes to hide

Heart ticking like a bomb with a pause
I’m calm on the surface chaos under the laws
I ask myself questions I don’t wanna hear
If I’m honest with me will I disappear?

I grew up learning silence was strength
Learned to smile wide hide the cracks in the length
Every promise felt borrowed every win felt fake
If I fail on purpose at least it’s my mistake

I carry names they don’t know how to spell
Carry blame like a badge wear it well
I don’t trust my thoughts when they sound too kind
Cause comfort’s just a trap with a pleasant design

Truth feels sharp lies feel warm
I confuse being numb with being calm
Every memory fights to be the boss
Was it discipline building me or fear at a cost?

If I peel back layers what’s left of me?
A man or a mask with good memory?
I hear my past knock I don’t answer calls
But it’s yelling my name through the drywall walls

Tell me what’s real tell me what’s wrong
I been holding my breath way too long
Every lie feels right till the truth comes through
I don’t know who I am but I know it’s not you

Inside my head there’s a war I chose
Between what I show and what nobody knows
When the dark speaks up I answer too

Shout: Truth!
Shout: Fear!
Shout: Me!

I move quick now thoughts double-time
Mind runs laps like it’s training for crime
I edit my feelings like tracks in a mix
Cut the pain low but it still exists

They say heal yourself yeah easy to say
When the damage taught you how to get paid
I monetize pressure I profit from doubt
Turn panic to patterns then scream it out loud

I don’t chase peace I interrogate calm
Ask why it leaves when I’m holding the psalm
I know every trick that my ego plays
Calls survival a crown calls running a phase

I don’t want comfort I want it clear
If I’m broken say it don’t sugar my fear
I been friends with the worst part of me
Now I’m asking if it’s time to leave

If I stop fighting who am I then?
If I stop hurting do I lose my pen?
I don’t trust silence it feels like a test
Like peace is a lie I don’t deserve yet

Tell me what’s real tell me what stays
When the lights go out and the crowd fades
Every voice in my head wants a say
But only one of them tells it straight

I built my name from scars and doubt
From locked doors I had to break out
When the dark speaks up I answer too

Shout: Truth!
Shout: Pain!
Shout: Now!

If I face myself and don’t look away
Maybe fear won’t have the final say
I don’t need saving I need to see
What’s left when the noise stops haunting me

Shout (whispered): Me

Sailing faraway
Like a memory
It's time for me to go home
The tides are calling my name
Call my name
This note in my bottle
Hopefully into the hands of someone like you
You'll find it in tomorrow
And call my name

Call my name
Call my name

A message from the past
A writer unable to gasp
The words they had left undeclared
So cruel and unfair
The audience hears
The struggling echoes
It travels through
Whichever city you are
Just so you'll hear

You called my name
You called my name
You called my name
You

This note in my bottle
These words will enlighten you
And once that the time is for you
It's time for you to go home
The tides are calling your name

Call my name
Call my name

When you hold me
It's paradise (paradise)
I feel so free (la-la-la)
Body moves slow to the melody

Mhm-mm
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
And everything stops
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mm

Every time when you hold me
(It's the place where I go)
Every time when you hold me
(Every time it's the place where I go)
Every time when you hold me
(It's the place where I go)
When you hold me
Ooh

The sun shines bright
I can see it in your eyes
But I just can't burn daylight
'Cause the thought of you gets me so high
A perfect combination
I'm locked in my flirtation
Don't need a grand occasion
Just meet me in the sunlight
Baby

When you hold me
It's paradise
I feel so free
La-la-la-la-la-la
When you hold me
It feels like paradise

I stopped counting the days
Some things don’t fade they just shift
I rearranged my pain
Until it looked like a gift

I don’t need to forget
That’s not how healing works
I let the echo ring
Then walked through what it hurts

You won’t hear me scream
But you might feel the weight I lost
I gave myself permission
To grieve and then defrost

Each step I take is mine
Not borrowed from the past
I move through the ruins
Building slow building fast

Almost whole
Almost clear
Breathing now
Without fear

Almost whole
Almost new
It’s not perfect
But it’s true

“Almost whole

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Like a criminal with a smoking gun
Like a boy with a thorn in his side
I'm like a fish out of water
All eyes on me
Like a gun to the head
Like a head on a plate
Like a lamb to the slaughter

But they don't know what I've seen
The coldest winter in twenty-three
Don't know what I've seen

But I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna die
In this brave new world
In this brave new world
In this brave new world
In this brave new world
