"Ah the stories I've heard the sights I dream about"
"Damn I wish I were in Istanbul"

Streets alive with tales untold whispers in the air
Bridges spanning ages old across the Bosphorus
Markets hum with vibrant hues scents that fill the soul
Dreams of Istanbul at dusk a city full of life

Golden sunsets glow
Memories yet to know

Damn I wish I were in Istanbul
Walking down those ancient roads
Damn I wish I were in Istanbul
Where the past and present flow

Minarets that pierce the sky calls to prayer at dawn
Boats that drift on gentle waves stories they have drawn
Lanterns light the evening streets casting shadows long
Istanbul a living dream where my heart belongs

Songs of old resound
In that mystic ground

Damn I wish I were in Istanbul
Living dreams that never fade

Golden sunsets glow
Memories yet to know

Damn I wish I were in Istanbul
Walking down those ancient roads
Damn I wish I were in Istanbul
Where the past and present flow

Damn I wish I were in Istanbul
Living dreams that never fade

The universe
In every verse
But do you know what I'm saying
It takes some training

And every part
Of every part
Is every part
Of every part

Some say it's God's plan
And others say it's man
Some say it's God's plan
And others say it's man

I heard a songbird
It spoke the word
I spoke the word
He heard the word

Some say it's God's plan
And others say it's man
Some say it's God's plan
And others say it's man

It takes some training
It takes some training
It takes some training
It takes some training

Prompt

Push all you want
I know what pressure does

I’ve had the ceiling come down slowly
Watched the plans fall out of line
Had my name crossed off the paper
More than once I still was mine

Every hard year left a measure
Every bad call changed the frame
I stopped asking to be spared it
I got better at the weight

I don’t need to stand like stone
I learned something stone won’t know

I was built to bend
Not built to break
Give me all the weight
I’ll change my shape

I can take the pull
I can take the strain
I don’t come back untouched
I come back changed

Built to bend
Built to bend
That’s why I’m here again

There were days I lost my footing
Times I nearly let it go
But the strongest thing I learned was
When to yield and when to hold

I don’t wear the damage proudly
I don’t hide it underneath
Every mark became a number
In the math that carried me

I don’t need to stand like stone
I learned something stone won’t know

I was built to bend
Not built to break
Give me all the weight
I’ll change my shape

I can take the pull
I can take the strain
I don’t come back untouched
I come back changed

Built to bend
Built to bend
That’s why I’m here again

Test the frame
Test the steel
See how much of me is real

Push it hard
Let it move
Strength is knowing when to give

I was built to bend
Not built to break
Every heavy hand
Just taught me what I take

I can take the pull
I can take the strain
I don’t come back untouched
I come back changed

Built to bend
Built to bend
You’ll find me here again

Not untouched
Not the same
Still here41:["$""$L51"null{"clip":{"status":"complete""title":"Built to Bend""play_count":1"upvote_count":0"allow_comments":true"is_verified":false"id":"d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5""entity_type":"song_schema""video_url":"""audio_url":"https://studio-apiprodsunocom/api/forbidden""media_urls":[{"url":"https://d2lwuy8qc234o3cloudfrontnet/1/clip/d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5m4a""content_type":"m4a-opus""delivery":"progressive""encoding":"100"}]"image_url":"https://cdn2sunoai/image_d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5jpeg""image_large_url":"https://cdn2sunoai/image_large_d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5jpeg""major_model_version":"v55""model_name":"chirp-fenix""metadata":{"tags":"electro-pop anthem male vokal 126 BPM commanding male belt controlled verse phrasing huge melodic chorus layered female harmonies arpeggiated synth lead deep pulsing synth bass wide synth chords sharp syncopated synth stabs electronic drum programming four-on-the-floor kick pre-chorus lift stripped-down bridge bright chorus lift polished pop compression stereo wideness clean modern master 2010s pop sheen""prompt":"$52""type":"gen""duration":23092"refund_credits":false"stream":true"make_instrumental":false"control_sliders":{"style_weight":049}"can_remix":true"is_remix":false"priority":10"has_stem":false"uses_latest_model":false"model_badges":{"songcard":{"display_name":"V55""light":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}"dark":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}}"songrow":{"display_name":"V55""light":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}"dark":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}}}"image_config":{"use_image_config_template":true"id":"camcorder""default_cover_style":"brand_refresh"}"is_mumble":false}"is_liked":false"user_id":"8910b987-5626-41da-bd52-799bb4207013""display_name":"heworx""handle":"heworx""is_handle_updated":true"avatar_image_url":"https://cdn2sunoai/4ce45482-fba4-4eb1-b1a7-9e1ecb546663jpeg""is_trashed":false"is_hidden":false"created_at":"2026-08-15T06:03:32462Z""is_public":false"is_persona_root":false"is_following_creator":false"albums":[]"ownership":{"ownership_reason":"subscribed"}"explicit":false"comment_count":0"flag_count":0"display_tags":"electro-pop pop""is_contest_clip":false"has_hook":false"batch_index":0"action_config":{"actions":[{"action_type":"add_to_playlist""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"like_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"share_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"dislike_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"report_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remove_from_playlist""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"play_next""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"add_to_queue""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remix_extend""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remix_cover""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remix_reuse_style""disabled":false"visible":true}]}}"persona":null"clipHistoryIds":[]"time":"$undefined""sharer":null}]
Lyrics

Uuuh
Aaaa
I had the chalk I had the board
Thought I knew what I was fighting for

I mapped it out like a perfect line
Variables dancing in my mind
Tried to graph where you might be
But love don’t fit no geometry

Slopes and curves they lied to me
No formula for what you see
You’re that value off the grid
And I solved what no one ever did

Every X I tried to crack
Led me closer no way back
Thought I had it all misread
But you were waiting up ahead

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To get one inch closer to Y (uh-huh)
I carried numbers like they were names
Till the moment you met my eye (ooooh)
It’s a mess of signs and endless tries
But now your logic redefines (yeaaah)
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to solve for a single Y

(Uuh uuh — that single Y)
(Aaah all those Xs I tried)

Circle back erase the trace
You’re the answer that now holds its place
I tried dividing all the pain
But you were constant in the rain

Was it sine or just a sign?
You curved in at the perfect time
I drew a heart inside the square
And this time you were really there

I factored in the nights alone
Calculated love unknown
But this equation found its truth
When all the numbers pointed to you

I reduced and simplified
You multiplied what’s deep inside
Left the questions in the dust
Now the formula is us

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To find the one and only Y (yeah yeah)
I carried numbers like they were names
But you gave meaning to the why (no no)
It’s a mess of signs and endless tries
Now it all aligns no need to lie (uh-huh)
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to solve for a single Y

(Uuh that final Y)
(Aaaah no more Xs I…)

Maybe you were undefined
In the limits of my mind
An asymptote I chased in vain
Till you stood right in the frame

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To stand here holding onto Y
I carried numbers like they were weights
But now the answer meets the sky
The signs were loud the tries were wild
But now I see the reason why
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to know that Y was you

(Uuh you’re my Y)
(Aaaah it’s always been you)

So I drop the pen the work is done
You were the proof the only one
No more math no more try
You’re my answer — you’re my Y

Got a pocket full of sunshine oh so bright
Every step I take feels oh so right
Life's a dancefloor I'm the star of the show
With every beat yeah I let my spirit flow

Woke up this morning with a grin on my face
Can't nobody bring me down from this place
Sipping joy in every little sip of tea
World's a playground and I'm swinging free

Hey hey ho ho now we're feeling fine
Hands up high to touch the sky oh my oh my we're fly
Laughter echoes as we go so let's just take it slow
Sky's the limit and we glow so we'll put on a show

Mirror mirror showing me a happy face
Dancing through my day in this groovy space
Every bounce in my step says I'm on my way
To brighter days where I laugh and play

When the night comes I'll still shine my light
No shadows can dim my heart's delight
With a funky beat and a melody sweet
Let's make this moment one to repeat

Hey hey ho ho now we're feeling fine
Hands up high to touch the sky oh my oh my we're fly
Laughter echoes as we go so let's just take it slow
Sky's the limit and we glow so we'll put on a show

Sweat in patches drenching my hoodie
No seduction
Clear as it should be
Although too tired to exercise even
I can walk to the alley or even the other precinct

Was I (And did you even listen?)
Mad like Dad (When I wanted to hold on?)

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

My third lollipop
A fabled bloodsucker
They make fun of me
But it's my true character
Jingle bells outside
Kids in the dark
Can't help but think of home and how it fell apart

Was I (And did you even listen?)
Mad like Dad (When I wanted to hold on?)

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

Nothing's subtle
They've exposed the situation
Here's a summary of the monetization
Buy their cheap toys
Last year's commemorations
And throw it away to save another generation

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

Woke up with a little spark

Wake up — the clock won’t wait
Tie your shoes shift the weight
Mirror’s not your enemy
It’s the version you refuse to be

You’ve got fire in your legs
Steel in your breath
Wipe the doubt off your face
This is your test

No turning back
You’ve made it this far
Every step’s a strike
Every scar’s a star
No turning back
No room for “might”
You don’t need luck
You are the fight

Every wall is just a bluff
It shakes when you get tough
Every “no” you ever heard
Is a fuel you never burned
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going

No turning back
You write the map
Built from sweat
No room for “slack”
No turning back
You’ve come too far
You don’t need signs
You are the spark

Midnight moves across the floor
Steps align we need no more
Every motion syncs in time
Signals crossing clean and fine

No directions no control
Just a pattern taking hold

Hold it right don’t push too fast
Let the second stretch and last

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

Low pulse breathing
Filtered chords drifting
Time dissolving
Nothing spoken

Faces blur in moving light
Seconds fold into the night
No reflections no disguise
Just the motion multiplying

We don’t question where it leads
Only trust the space we keep

Hold the line stay inside
Let the moment open wide

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

No beginning no release
Only waves in slow repeat

Do you know what you're worth
When the world leaves you dirt
Do you know what you have when they go
Are you left with your fear
Do you live what you hear
Do you follow or do you lead the way

And if you ever feel like your life's a waste
Get your hands up

They say that it's never too late to try
It's never too late to live your life
It's never too late to change your mind
It's never too late to find out why
It's never too late to learn to love
It's never too late to rise above
It's never too late
Never too late

If I were you
I'd do this
I'd look at all that you miss
I'd get out and stop wasting your time
Your potential's untapped
The key's under the mat
There's a world out there waiting for you

And if you ever feel like your life's a waste
Get your hands up

They say that it's never too late to try
It's never too late to live your life
It's never too late to change your mind
It's never too late to find out why
It's never too late to learn to love
It's never too late to rise above
It's never too late
Never too late
