I walked the path with shadows near
Promises broken whispers clear
They said the sun would always rise
But now the truth is in their lies

But I won’t cry no I won’t fade
I’ll find the light in the shade

Hopes hangin' on a wire (yeah yeah)
Burnin' like a fire (ooh ooh)
I'll rise from the ash (oh)
Turn pain into cash (hey)

The rain keeps fallin' drownin' me
But I’ll swim hard to break the sea
Each tear a stone a lesson learned
Each bridge I’ve crossed has now been burned

A phoenix rises wings of gold
Disappointments they make you bold

In the night I found my way
Through the storm I’m here to stay

But I won’t cry no I won’t fade
I’ll find the light in the shade

Hopes hangin' on a wire (yeah yeah)
Burnin' like a fire (ooh ooh)
I'll rise from the ash (oh)
Turn pain into cash (hey)

In the night I found my way
Through the storm I’m here to stay

Hopes hangin' on a wire (yeah yeah)
Burnin' like a fire (ooh ooh)
I'll rise from the ash (oh)
Turn pain into cash (hey)

Shadows linger where the sunlight fades
Holding secrets in the empty space
Your silhouette’s a memory untold
It’s a story that I can’t let go

Caught between the static and the sound
Reaching for the way to turn around

Every heartbeat chasing a sign
Lost in the rhythm searching for time
Falling deeper I feel the weight
But maybe this is how we find our way

Paper walls can’t keep the world outside
Every tear’s a piece of what we hide
I’m still learning how to let it show
But your eyes they see what I don’t know

Caught between the static and the sound
Reaching for the way to turn around

Every heartbeat chasing a sign
Lost in the rhythm searching for time
Falling deeper I feel the weight
But maybe this is how we find our way

It’s not the end it’s just a curve
A second chance the one we deserve
We’re not alone even when we break
The pieces fit in the steps we take

If I could hold the night a little longer
I’d show you how we rise from the thunder
Nothing’s perfect but we’ll make it through
Every crack lets the light shine through

Every heartbeat chasing a sign
Lost in the rhythm searching for time
Falling deeper I feel the weight
But maybe this is how we find our way

Every crack lets the light shine through
This is how we find what’s true

Streetlights flicker they know your face
Dancin’ alone in this crowded place
You slipped away where the silence grows
In this empty cage where the cold wind blows

(Oh-oh-oh yeah!)

Heart’s still yearnin’ can’t let it go
In this empty space I’m losin’ control
(Whoa-oh!)

You walked away left me in the fire
Burnin’ through the nights chasin’ desire
Dreams like ashes scatter in the air
But I’m still here caught in your snare
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh!)

(Whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh!)

Flickerin’ visions of what we had
Now it’s all gone just a touch so sad
I hear your voice but it’s far away
In this twisted game I’m forced to play

(Oh-oh-oh yeah!)

Heart’s still yearnin’ can’t let it go
In this empty space I’m losin’ control
(Whoa-oh!)

You walked away left me in the fire
Burnin’ through the nights chasin’ desire
Dreams like ashes scatter in the air
But I’m still here caught in your snare
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh!)

(Whoa-oh!)
Every step you take I’m fallin’ behind
In this shattered world no peace to find
(Whoa-oh!)

You walked away left me in the fire
Burnin’ through the nights chasin’ desire
Dreams like ashes scatter in the air
But I’m still here caught in your snare
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh!)

(Whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh!)
In the silence I hear your name
But it’s just an echo a ghostly flame
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh!)

(Verse 1)
In the heart of the city where streets hum with life's tale
Faces pass by whispers in the gale
In the stillness of the night we find our way
Through the tumult and the roar we'll seize the day

(Chorus)
Oh we're alive yet barely breathing
In this realm of doubt and deceiving
But we'll rise from the ashes like a phoenix in flight
With the fire in our souls burning through the night

(Verse 2)
In the echoes of the alleyways we hear the cry
To break free from the chains and reach for the sky
With every beat of our hearts we'll defy
The odds stacked against us as we aim high

(Chorus)
Oh we're alive yet barely breathing
In this realm of doubt and deceiving
But we'll rise from the ashes like a phoenix in flight
With the fire in our souls burning through the night

(Bridge)
Through the shadows of doubt we'll find our way
In the depths of our souls a new dawn will sway
With every step we take we'll leave the past behind
For in the depths of our souls new light will find

(Chorus)
Oh we're alive yet barely breathing
In this realm of doubt and deceiving
But we'll rise from the ashes like a phoenix in flight
With the fire in our souls burning through the night

Verse 1:
Everything falls apart
(oh it falls apart)
Just when things start to go my way
(right when it starts)
Every time I attempt to escape
(I try I try)
I'm bound to lose my stride
(always losing always losing)

Chorus:
And it seems like
(what does it seem like?)
Nothing ever shifts
(nothing nothing)
Powerless to alter anything
(so powerless)
I've turned every page
(every single page)
I could
(and then?)

Verse 2:
And it still seems like
(still the same)
Nothing ever shifts
(no no)
Powerless to alter anything
(can't do anything)
I've turned every page
(turn 'em turn 'em)
No truth holds
(none at all)

Verse 2:
And it still seems like
(still the same)
Nothing ever shifts
(no no)
Powerless to alter anything
(can't do anything)
I've turned every page
(turn 'em turn 'em)
No truth holds
(none at all)

Bridge:
Speak to the heavens
(to the heavens)
Please one more attempt
(just one more)
It may not return your gaze
(it won't look back)
But one day you'll grasp
(one day one day)

Chorus:
Nothing ever shifts
(still the same)
Powerless to alter anything
(I can't change it)
I've turned every page
(all the pages)
I could
(I could)

Outro:
Yet nothing ever shifts
(nothing changes)
No truth holds
(no truth)
I've turned every page
I could
(so many pages)
I've turned every page
(all those pages)
No truth holds
(nothing's true)

Chorus:
Nothing ever shifts
(still the same)
Powerless to alter anything
(I can't change it)
I've turned every page
(all the pages)
I could
(I could)

End:

Verse 1:
The finest years I gave entrusted to your care
Suddenly you shift new plans pulled from thin air
The world we crafted just for us does not hold me anymore
That once sweet dream now haunts me to the core

Chorus:
Alone I cannot stand
Your love is what I demand
I can't flee nor can I escape this feeling so grand
All I desire is by your side to forever stand
Every moment every hour without end

Verse 2:
The games we used to play
Kept my love for you at bay
Oh those silly youthful games
Like dancing in the storms' heavy rains

Bridge:
It was a cherished dream tangible and keen
Now you’re gone my reality is so obscene
Yours was the truest love I ever got to know
What’s left for me now that you chose to go

Chorus:
Alone I can't persist
I long for the love I’ve missed
I can’t escape can’t shy away from this internal bliss
My only wish is to spend my days in your kiss
Every minute every hour each new day

Verse 3:
Days and nights pass by yet you're nowhere seen
Evenings drag so long oh without you my queen
After countless loyal years
Why leave me drowning in my tears?

Chorus:
Alone I cannot cope
I need your arms for hope
I can't make it on my own
Your embrace is what I’ve known
I can't stand alone
Just can't face it on my own

Roaming through the aisles a smile paints my face
Retail therapy my favorite embrace
Glimmering displays beckoning me near
In this shopping sanctuary I feel no fear

I adore shopping my cherished retreat
Within these walls my spirit feels complete
From trinkets to treasures I'm in my own sphere
Retail therapy my soul's frontier

Draped in new threads I feel like a dream
Each purchase a tale a memory to redeem
Amidst the crowd's hum I find my sanctuary
In this shopping symphony life's worries flee

In this realm of choice and allure
Every acquisition a treasure pure
As I exit adorned feeling so grand
I'm reminded retail therapy's my band

Listening my not FM
With a heart full of joy I'm on the hymn
Leaving the mall but the bliss remains
In life's rhythm retail therapy sustains

Woke up in the shadow of night
Gotta keep my head up high
No tears no sign of fright
Underneath this endless sky

Facing battles with a smile
Every mile makes me wise
Every step takes a while
But I’ll soar above the lies

I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained

Through the storm and the rain
I found myself again
Not a moment spent in vain
I dance away the pain

I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained

Every heartbeat a new dawn
Mind so fierce moving on
I won’t break I won’t fall
Through it all I stand tall

Do do do do doooooo
Aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Do do do do doooooo
Oooo ooooooooooooo

Under the shade of an old oak tree
We shared our secrets and made history
Through the storms and the sunny days
We walked together come what may

Through thick and thin like waves we ride
In each other we confide

Friends forever side by side
No mountain high no ocean wide
(Oh oh)
Loyal hearts a bond so strong
Together we belong

Do do do do doooooo
Aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Do do do do doooooo
Oooo ooooooooooooo

In the dark we light the way
With a smile or a word to say
When the world turns cold and gray
We’re the warmth that never fades

Through thick and thin like waves we ride
In each other we confide

Friends forever side by side
No mountain high no ocean wide
(Oh oh)
Loyal hearts a bond so strong
Together we belong

Do do do do doooooo
Aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Do do do do doooooo
Oooo ooooooooooooo

In our eyes a timeless spark
Guiding through the dark

In this dance of life we stand
Hand in hand forever planned

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

In the quiet of the night she hides her tears
A broken smile a mask she wears through the years
Her voice once strong now whispers in pain
A shadow of dreams washed away in the rain

She gave her all yet lost her way
Bound by chains of yesterday
But deep inside her fire won’t die
A silent plea a whispered cry

What’s left of her when the lights fade low?
A story untold a heart we’ll never know
She’s fighting alone in a world so cold
Her love was her crime her story unfolds

The walls of the home that was meant to keep warm
Echo with words that thunder like storms
She reaches for freedom a dream that’s afar
But the bruises remind her of every scar

She stares at the mirror a face she can’t see
The girl she was who she yearned to be
But the wind calls her name from beyond the pain
A promise of sun after endless rain

What’s left of her when the lights fade low?
A story untold a heart we’ll never know
She’s fighting alone in a world so cold
Her love was her crime her story unfolds

Oh the silence screams louder than words
In a cage where no wings can be heard
But her eyes hold a spark a fleeting flame
One day she’ll rise and reclaim her name

So if you see her walking in the rain
Know she’s searching for herself again
A warrior’s soul in a fragile disguise
Her story lives where her spirit flies
