shadows falling all around me
can’t see the stars through cloudy nights
been searching for a ray of sunshine
something to make everything alright

but i know i know i know
there’s a light that never fades
and i feel i feel i feel
better days are on their way

hope is glitter in the darkness (sparkle!)
shining when you least expect (oh yeah!)
like diamonds scattered through the universe (uni-verse!)
reminding me i’m not done yet (keep going!)

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (whoa!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (no way!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (shine on!)
guiding me to brighter days (ay-ay!)

sometimes i think i can’t continue
the weight is more than i can bear
then i remember all the reasons
to push through pain and still care

‘cause i know i know i know
there’s a strength inside that grows
and i feel i feel i feel
a fire that still glows

hope is glitter in the darkness (light it up!)
shining when you least expect (surprise!)
like diamonds scattered through the universe (stardust!)
reminding me i’m not done yet (never quit!)

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (hold on!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (find it!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (glimmer!)
guiding me to brighter days (so bright!)

even in my darkest hour
i can feel that power
sparkling shimmering
glittering delivering
the promise of tomorrow
breaking through my sorrow

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (rising!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (new path!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (twinkle!)
guiding me to brighter days (yes way!)

sparkle shine believe
glitter through the night
hope will always be
your guiding light

In the embrace of the music we're swept away
Every beat a promise of a brighter day
With every move we write our own story
In this dance we find our glory

New shoes clean slate—
Steppin’ out can’t wait

Used to tiptoe used to fade
Your spotlight made my colors grey
Now I’m bright and walking bold
No more playing stories told

No need to whisper down my shine
I dance louder every time

This is mine (uh) all this light (yeah)
Took it back now I feel right (so right)
No more small no more doubt
Watch me spin I’m breaking out (woo!)

Head high beat flows—
That shadow? Gone like echoes

Didn’t ask but I was framed
Fit your mold but I won’t stay
Mirror cracked and I walked through
Now I’m framed in something true

Used to dim to let you rise
Now I glow in open skies

This is mine (mine) all this light (light)
Took it back now I feel right (feel right)
No more small no more doubt
Watch me spin I’m breaking out (uh-huh!)

Step for step I own this beat—
I’m the one you can’t delete

Hands up breath full
I’m not hiding I’m in control
Every move every beat—
Feels like I’m finally complete

Yeah
Mm-hmm
Turn it up
Uh
Let’s go

Step in — heat rise
No rules — my side
You move — I lead
One look — you’re mine
Hands on — don’t hide
We ride — midnight
Your pulse — my beat
You fall — my feet

I got control control control control
You want it slow slow slow slow
I make you go go go go
You lose it — oh oh oh oh

Eyes lock — no doubt
Lights fade — we’re loud
One step — we burn
Two steps — return
Your breath — my flame
No fear — no shame
Your hands — can’t stay
My voice — your way

I got control control control control
You want it slow slow slow slow
I make you go go go go
You lose it — oh oh oh oh

You say you ready — I say prove it
You say you steady — I say move it
You cross the line — I pull you closer
One more time — game over

Control (control)
Control (control)
Control (control)
Control (control)

I got control control control control (yeah)
You want it slow slow slow slow (uh-huh)
I make you go go go go (let’s go)
You lose it — oh oh oh oh (yeah yeah)

Yeah…
Control
Mm-hmm
Fade out…

Shadows flicker on the midnight screen
A message left where the city leans
Fingertips trace static lines
Falling into coded signs

Signals bending hearts in motion
Lost between the waves devotion
A silent spark a hidden door
Something pulls us back for more

Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision

Glitches hum beneath our breath
Distant voices dance with death
Mirrors show what we can’t see
Phantom touch electric dreams

Signals bending hearts in motion
Lost between the waves devotion
A silent spark a hidden door
Something pulls us back for more

Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision

No words left just motion
Wired deep in this devotion
If we break we break together
Nothing’s built to last forever

Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision

Close my eyes breathe slow
Every step letting go
Cities blur roads unknown
Finding peace on my own

Far away from the noise tonight
Just me and fading city lights

Take me somewhere far from here
Miles away where the sky is clear
Nothing left for me to fear
Far away just disappear

Empty roads silent nights
Stars awake quiet skies
Leaving now no goodbyes
Freedom whispers gentle sighs

Far away from the noise tonight
Just me and fading city lights

Take me somewhere far from here
Miles away where the sky is clear
Nothing left for me to fear
Far away just disappear

Heart’s been heavy time to roam
Searching for a place called home
No regrets no tears to cry
Gone tonight no asking why

Take me somewhere far from here
Far away just disappear

It's a thin line
Between love and hate
Between the real and the fake
There ain't no switchin' sides
You know there ain't no in-between
With love and hate

The things I love
The things I hate
They can just irritate me until they motivate me
Hit the road and take me
Lift me up and elevate me
And curve some paths to navigate me to gold
The pears grow from the seed and the tree and the roots and the soul
You know the thicker the skin
The less mindful the fangs that unfold

Thin line grows thicker
Hearts don't make good mirrors
Seein' clearer
Know when it's love and hate
We gotta relocate away
Ain't no fakin'

The things I hate
The things I love
They can just lift me high as the clouds above me
Ain't a flaw in a dove's wings
Just needs a little bit of coseting
A dose of humanity
Or so I'm told
You see
The Hunger Games ain't never yet got old

Thin lines grows thicker and thicker
It's all them thick-thick girls
That's been my soldiers
And we patrolin'
You know it's love
It ain't hate

Thin line grows thicker
Hearts don't make good mirrors
Seein' clearer
Know when it's love and hate
We gotta relocate away
Ain't no fakin'
Thin line grows thicker
Hearts don't make good mirrors
Seein' clearer
Know when it's love and hate
We gotta relocate away
Ain't no fakin'

Woke up in a sentence I don’t remember writing
(uhhh)
My name’s on the wall
but it’s spelled with a “Y” now
weird

I tried to fold the sunlight into thirds
but it keeps leaking through the creases
Like—
was that ever the point?
(Hey!)
Did we name the silence just to fill it?

A blue cup a red sock a key with no lock
Mom said dreams don’t rot
but I found mold on the corners of mine
(yeah uh-huh)

What’s it made of?
(Lie?)
What’s it made oooooof?
Is this glass or just slow ice?
(what’s the—yeah)
If I bite it will it crack or cry?
(Haha—cry?)
I asked the mirror but she blinked
Twice

My coat is full of exit signs
but none of them point north
I sleep in the hallway between thoughts—
and that’s fine
Or it was
(Was it?)

Someone keeps leaving me notes
in a handwriting I don't remember learning
“Simplify”
“Unwind”
“Don't trust the tulips”

What’s it made of?!
(don’t tell me it’s hope again)
What’s it maaaade of?!
If it’s love why’s it shaped like a chair leg?
If it’s truth
why does it taste like batteries?

Whoa whoa—
Don’t go there
Not now
(NOT NOW!)

I kept your name in a quiet drawer
Where I hide the things I can't restore
Every word I wrote I burned unread
I'm still haunted by the things I never said

I didn't scream I didn't cry
I let you leave without asking why
But in my bones I broke and bled
From all the things I never said

[Guitar Break]

I smiled like silence was my friend
But silence never helps in the end
You touched my back I turned instead
And buried deep the things I never said

I didn't scream I didn't cry
I let you leave without asking why
But in my bones I broke and bled
From all the things I never said

[Instrumental Break]

There were nights I danced just to forget
Lips on mine but no regret
Still I feel you in my breath—
A ghost that never left

[Final Chorus]
I didn't scream I let you go
But now the quiet hurts me more
I should’ve loved I should’ve pled
Instead I kept the things I never said

Verse 1:
Life throws its punches but I hold my ground
Emotions may rage but I won't be drowned
Through every trial I stand tall and strong
In the darkest hours I sing my own song

Chorus:
Self-control my guiding star
Through the chaos I'll go far
In the heat of battle I find my way
With inner strength I seize the day

Bridge:
In the quiet of my mind I find my peace
In life's whirlwind my worries cease
With every step I take command
Self-mastery my guiding hand

Outro:
So I stand resolute against the fray
With self-control I'll find my way
In life's dance I'll always strive
With unwavering resolve I'll thrive

I wake to the hum of a restless moon
Curtains swaying like ghosts in the room
The walls are painted with shadows that creep
Whispering truths that I’d rather not keep

The clock’s stuck ticking in a crooked rhyme
And the air feels heavy thick with time
I try to shake the echoes but they pull me in
A carousel of faces where the dark begins

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (oh no oh no)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (yeah yeah)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (can’t escape it now)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)

Steps in the hallway but the floorboards don’t creak
A distant murmur but no one speaks
The mirror’s reflection isn’t quite my own
A fractured version I’ve never known

I turn the light on but it cuts too thin
The shadows grow deeper they’re pulling me in
I try to find the exit but the walls just bend
A labyrinth of longing with no end

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (can’t get out can’t get out)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (oh I’m losing it now)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (no way out no way out)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)

Lost in the haze where the night unfolds
Every corner hides a story untold
Fingers reach but they slip like smoke
And the weight of the dark wraps around my throat

If I could wake up would the room stay still?
Would the morning sun break this bitter chill?
But the curtains fall in the same slow dance
Caught in a fever I can’t outlast

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (oh don’t let me go)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (somebody help me now)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (no way out no way out)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)
