She is mine

They told me to sit down and shut my mouth Said I ain't got no right to speak out loud Told me to follow the road they paved Said I ain't no leader anyway They told me who was good, who was wrong Old men in power, singing the same old song Old white men, sittin' high on their throne But we all know they’ll pay when they’re all alone First came the preachers, telling me lies With their holy books and watchful eyes That Catholic cross hung over my head No secret too small, no word unsaid They told me about Jesus and his saving grace But I saw fear written all over their face Old white men, preachin' down from on high But even they can’t escape the fire when they die They cut my hair, tried to break my soul Told me who I was, and took control Made me swear oaths I could never keep But my heart stayed strong while they were asleep As a boy, I learned to stand my ground They thought they won, but look who’s still around Old white men, without a trace of remorse But in the end, they'll all meet hell, of course

[Verse] He loved her more than morning sun Held her close till breath was done In his eyes she was the world In his arms his fate unfurled [Chorus] Gone too soon in love's embrace Heartbeats lost in time and space Whispered words still linger on In our hearts he's never gone [Verse 2] He chased her dreams through fields of gold Dared to love as hearts unfold In the end love stole his breath Silent night eternal rest [Chorus] Gone too soon in love's embrace Heartbeats lost in time and space Whispered words still linger on In our hearts he's never gone [Bridge] Love can heal and love can break Took his soul like tidal wave But in memories he'll stay Forever young in love's ballet [Chorus] Gone too soon in love's embrace Heartbeats lost in time and space Whispered words still linger on In our hearts he's never gone

[Verse] In a house made of sweets and lies Gummy doors and licorice skies Marshmallow whispers twist my mind Sugary secrets left behind [Verse 2] Lollipops in the dead of night Cotton candy shadows creep just right Chocolate rivers flow so bright Jellybean paths in the pale moonlight [Chorus] Candyland chaos in my head Sugary tombstones where dreams are dead Rainbow bridges lead nowhere Bittersweet songs fill the air [Verse 3] Peppermint tears that never dry Cinnamon swirl in your glassy eye Gingerbread walls are crumbling down Sticky sweet smile Can't pull a frown [Bridge] Buried deep in frosting snow Lemon drop wishes you'll never know Ginger snaps in shattered echoes Lost in realms where candy grows [Verse 4] Bubblegum whispers of past sins Caramel cages hold you in Peppermint doors locked from within Candy land where chaos begins

She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me (get out the way, yo) Bang, bang Ah, there she goes again, the girl is Ethiopian In other words, she came through explodin' in the podium Dynamite Napoleon like sodium mixed with petroleum Slowly but surely, she was walking toward me Cut the convo' short 'cause she had to wake up early But continuing the story Don't worry she gave me digits for her Blackberry "You're very handsome" is what she said And the way she looked in my eyes said, "Put me to bed" Oh my, oh my, I should have known when she said to me on the phone "You do not know me very well, but I would never hurt a fly" Then she aimed for my chest with love in her eye Said she aimed for my chest with love in her eye She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang Scorpion, she's so hot she's a scorch-ian Killing me softly, Lauryn or Kevorkian Couldn't tell if she's cuckoo or quirky, when I asked her her name she said, "Call me Ten" Testing, testing Things just got more interesting She's dressed in a vest pin, double-breasted holster A very Western toaster She ain't nothing Kosher Ah, she lets me closer Hotter than a pepper-crusted Samosa While I try to keep my composure She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang Am I wrong? But what is love without the pain to go along? And what is pain if not the reason for me to sing this song? And this song is for the weak and for the strong 'Cause I was strong and still She got me, she got me Bang, bang, she got me She got me, she got me Bang, bang She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang

**Song Title: "Running in Place"** *(Verse 1)* You tell me time has passed, yet I’m encased, Locked in the moments, your voice still plays. Got all these memories, they haunt my space, But I can only cope, not erase. Now I’m using your homie as an escape, Trying to fill the void you’ve shaped. *(Pre-Chorus)* Every step I take feels like a lie, Chasing shadows, watching time fly. But I can't outrun what I knew— The way my heart fell for you. *(Chorus)* I keep running, it’s true, But the pain keeps leading me back to you. Every road, every move, Just circles around what I can’t undo. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Trapped in the echoes of your embrace. *(Verse 2)* Tried to let go, but I still hear your name, Every corner I turn, it feels the same. The way we laughed, the way we cried, It’s burned in my mind, I can’t deny. Now I’m caught in this twisted race, Chasing a love I can’t replace. *(Pre-Chorus)* Every step I take feels like a lie, Chasing shadows, watching time fly. But I can't outrun what I knew— The way my heart fell for you. *(Chorus)* I keep running, it’s true, But the pain keeps leading me back to you. Every road, every move, Just circles around what I can’t undo. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Trapped in the echoes of your embrace. *(Bridge)* And I don’t know how to break free, From this love that won’t let me be. You’re the ghost I can’t replace, I’m running in circles, I’m running in place. *(Final Chorus)* I keep running, it’s true, But the pain keeps leading me back to you. Every road, every move, Just circles around what I can’t undo. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Forever haunted by your face.

Woke up to the city, it's calling my name, Sippin' on whiskey, playin' that game, I’ve had my share of love, I’ve had my share of pain, But right now, I’m just tryin’ to feel something again. Maybe it’s a kiss or a midnight ride, A reckless chance, or a smooth alibi, I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a sign, I want anything that’ll make me feel alive. I want anything, don’t matter the cost, A taste of the wild, even if I get lost, No promises, no lies, just a little truth, I want anything, and I’m coming for you. Oh, oh, anything, come on, let me in, I want anything, let the chaos begin. A hotel room or a dive bar stool, Dancing with strangers, breaking all the rules, Maybe a love that’s as deep as the night, Or a dangerous game that feels so right. A slow burn, a rush, something I can't tame, A stolen moment or a world of flame, I don’t need forever, don’t need a plan, I want anything that makes me feel like I can. I want anything, no limits, no chains, A storm in my heart, let it fall like rain, Take me to the edge, where the wild things go, I want anything, and I’ll never say no. Oh, oh, anything, bring it on tonight, I want anything, let the world collide. Let the music take me where the silence breaks, Let the fire burn, let the world shake, I’m not looking for forever, just a spark, Something to light up the dark. I want anything, no matter the cost, A taste of the wild, even if I get lost, No promises, no lies, just a little truth, I want anything, and I’m coming for you. Oh, oh, anything, come on, let me in, I want anything, let the chaos begin. I want anything, yeah, take me high, No holding back, just you and I. Oh, oh, anything, let’s make it real, I want anything, give me what I feel.

[Verse] Neon lights and busy streets Chasing dreams on dancing feet Starry nights and hopes so bright City's pulse keeps us alive [Verse 2] Lost in crowds we feel alive Heartbeats sync as we arrive Whispers drown in urban roar Secrets kept behind each door [Chorus] City lights they call our name Whisper dreams and endless fame Through the night we chase the glow In the city hearts will grow [Bridge] Shadowed corners hidden gems Every turn a tale begins Life's a maze we'll navigate Find our path before too late [Verse 3] Sidewalk tales of love and loss Every face a story gloss Window panes reflect our soul Searching for a sense of whole [Chorus] City lights they call our name Whisper dreams and endless fame Through the night we chase the glow In the city hearts will grow

[Verse] City lights blind my eyes in the night Neon whispers say things aren't right Flashing signs paint the sky in blue I'm just a ghost searching for you [Verse 2] Virtual love in a digital haze Fading memories of better days Pixel hearts glitch in the static Lonely streets look cinematic [Chorus] Neon dreams in a broken town Silent tears from a painted clown Electric gods smile from above In this sad world need your love [Verse 3] Hollow echoes in an empty place Virtual screens replace every face City calls but no one will answer Lost in the beat like a lonely dancer [Bridge] Digital rain falls from the sky Synapse whispers a forlorn goodbye In a world where no one's real Binary heart still tries to heal [Chorus] Neon dreams in a broken town Silent tears from a painted clown Electric gods smile from above In this sad world need your love

[Verse] In the city lights I found you there With a grin so wild and a fiery flare Street sounds echo in our racing hearts Tonight the world is ours we'll play our parts [Verse 2] Hand in hand we roam through neon streets Dancing shadows tangled in our beats Whispers carry secrets in the air We'll rewrite the night a perfect pair [Chorus] Crash the gates we'll make it ours Run the race reach for the stars In this chaos we'll ignite Shine like rebels through the night [Verse 3] Window panes reflect a daring dream In my eyes you see a restless gleam Sirens sing their haunting lullaby But with you here we'll touch the sky [Bridge] Feel the thunder in our veins Through the struggles through the pains Rising high with every step we take Tonight we burn we never break [Chorus] Crash the gates we'll make it ours Run the race reach for the stars In this chaos we'll ignite Shine like rebels through the night

Verse 1: (Bass line kicks in, piano riff sparkles) Ben likes men, he’s a cool kinda guy, Snappin’ his fingers under that pink sky. Doesn’t need no gals, no he’s got his plan, Ben’s on the scene, lovin’ all his men! Chorus: (Backup singers chime in: "Shoo-bop, shoo-bop!" and "Oh, yeah!") Ben likes men, and he’s feelin’ so free, Dancin’ through life, just the way he should be. Ben likes men, and he’s not gonna hide, He’s swingin’ and swayin’ with his fellas tonight. Verse 2: (Jazzy guitar licks, drums in a shuffle beat) He’s sharp in his jacket, with a gleam in his eye, When the boys come around, Ben’s the guy they rely. No dames on his mind, he’s got love to share, For his boys up high or anywhere! Bridge: (Saxophone solo, backup singers harmonising "Ooh-doo-wop, doo-wah!") Ben likes his men, on the roof, in the shower, He’s livin’ his truth every single hour. Why should he hide? No, he’s gotta shine, Ben’s got the love that’s one of a kind! Chorus: (Big band energy, everyone clapping along) Ben likes men, he’s a top-notch fella, Lovin’ his life with a handsome young fella. Ben likes men, and he’s feelin’ the heat, Rockin’ and rollin’ with the boys on the street. Verse 3: (Tempo picks up slightly, piano riff dances) The jukebox plays, and he’s tapping his feet, With his favourite guy, he’s making it sweet. No closets for Ben, no, he’s out in the light, Under neon signs, he’s shining so bright. Outro: (Slow fade, dreamy harmonies) Ben likes men, he’s a star on the floor, A lover, a dreamer, and so much more. Oh, Ben likes men, and we’re cheering him on, In the 50s diner, his love’s never gone.

(Verse 1) I line it up, take my shot, The ball rolls smooth, it’s getting hot, A little spin, a little grace, I watch it move, it’s on its chase. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, it’s so close, I feel the thrill, Every turn, every hill, Will it drop? Will it fall? I’m waiting for that final call. (Chorus) Roll, roll, roll, straight to the hole, I see it fall, deep in my soul, From the tee to the green, it’s all so fine, Just one more stroke and it’s all mine! Hole in one, yeah, that’s the goal, Rolling like a dream, straight to the hole. (Verse 2) Through the sand, past the trees, A little luck, a little breeze, My heart’s racing, the ball’s in flight, I know it’s gonna feel just right. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, it’s so close, can you feel the glow? The tension’s high, but here we go, It’s spinning fast, I’m on the edge, Will it land or just wedge? (Chorus) Roll, roll, roll, straight to the hole, I see it fall, deep in my soul, From the tee to the green, it’s all so fine, Just one more stroke and it’s all mine! Hole in one, yeah, that’s the goal, Rolling like a dream, straight to the hole. (Bridge) Oh, the crowd is cheering now, I see that flag, I know I’ll show how, Just a little tap and then, oh! The ball’s gone in, the game is won! (Chorus) Roll, roll, roll, straight to the hole, I see it fall, deep in my soul, From the tee to the green, it’s all so fine, Just one more stroke and it’s all mine! Hole in one, yeah, that’s the goal, Rolling like a dream, straight to the hole. (Outro) Hole in one... hole in one... Yeah, I did it, and now I’m done.
